The FTC has been CRUSHING IT under the current leaders by actually enforcing existing rules. I hope Kamala tells those donors to pound sand.

So, I skimmed the article and may have missed it. Why is this anything more that tinkering with and (maybe torturing) mice? What's the actual scientific value here? (Assuming invisibility potion wasn't an actual goal)

Perhaps medical dyes for imaging?

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

I think I read somewhere too that AIs were actually better than people at captchas.

I don't get the arrangement art thing. It's satisfying to see things laid out neatly, but it's also satisfying to power wash crud off my patio, and I wouldn't call either one art.

But different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I'm physically sick from this term.

I agree generally, but I think the debates mainly help the undecided, who aren't going to automatically think well of Trumps constantly talking over her. Probably still best for maintaining general state of decorum and sanity. But Harris has a good reason to want Trump to talk himself into a corner.

Have NFCU for my mortgage and car loan and it is absolutely astonishing to see how behind they are in tech. To set up autopay on the car note they wanted me to send in a form and wait something like 6 weeks, and I got no interest discount or anything for doing it. Ended up setting up autopay through my regular bank online in about 3 minutes and said forget it.

Why do tech companies keep pushing this crap on us when society has clearly communicated that it is dumb?

There isn't the same level of pressure to commit to DEI as their is to stop it, and those supporting the latter position are probably seen as likely Ford customers.

I'm sure cutting investment in any program also saves them money, which has to be seen as a benefit too.

Hey good catch! I'll try to ring my dealership to see if I can get that checked out during my next oil change visit.

Thanks

Got a '24 outback late last year. For the most part I love it-it's comfortable, holds my giant dogs and it's way better to drive in bad weather than my previous car.

I'd read reports on subaru forums that infotainment was bad, so my expectations were low. But even basic stuff isn't functional. It has gotten less responsive over the months (reminder: we've had it just barely a year). The screen has several seconds of lag with every touch, and sometimes controls just don't work at all. I don't like that we have to use it for temperature control, and android auto integration is clunky (though that may not be Subaru's fault).

Add that to the horrifying data collection practices and it makes me question ever getting a Subaru again.
