Tesla FSD faces yet another probe after fatal low-visibility crash

Leon, according to his mother Maye, is "Developmently disabled".

According to me, he's a rich idiot that got lucky because of his dad's apartheid emerald mine, and is a evil narcissistic psycopath that's trying to take over the United states, or if you prefer "The World".

The combined power of SpaceX, Starlink and X staying in Elmo's hands is unthinkable if Harris wins in Nov, given his recent behaviour towards UK and US governments.

In addition, letting his half-blind 10 ton autonomous WankPanza on the roads is stupid, and his Robovan looks like my butterdish.

BOFH: It's not generative AI at all, it's degenerate AI

It's the old 'man and dog' thing.

The man is there to feed the dog,and the dog is there to make sure the man doesn't leave before clocking off time.

An arc welder in the datacenter: What could possibly go wrong?

There's loads of types of welding.

Totally ignoring the fact that the diagonals of a square are longer than it's sides and there's no way you can turn the thing round to install it.

BOFH: An 'AI PC' for an Acutely Ignorant user

I remember turbo buttons. Just don't remember them doing anything other than pop the orange light on.

However, 30 years later I have a Helios Predator that also has a turbo button,but this one does do something,that something being turning on all it's fans so loud and forcefully that it would be better labeled 'Hovercraft Button'.

And it doesnt even have an orange led, never mind a purple one.

Windows 11 tries to escape Windows 10's shadow with AI muscle

Re: updating the fleet

I haven't the foggiest idea how you'd go about doing it but, like religion, MS needs removing from all schools.

Industry will use whatever their workforce grows up with,apart from the odd box that's still running Win 95 because somebody once won an internet tea urn that came with what used to be called a 'program' before apps were invented.

After having moaned about Microsoft since DOS days, I don't think I'm qualified anymore after having watched MSNBC for years and finding out today what the MS stands for.
