fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-native cloud solutions provider. Aren’t all of the GPUs spoken for the next several years spoken for?

In what way is it relevant? (I read the opening paragraphs, and do not see the connection.)

Didn't the tech companies threaten to leave if they were taxed? Seems easier to tax the tech companies than force people to identify themselves.

There are more, but we run into issues with sorting motivations and which victims we mean to include. Periodically a rapist or murderer will be killed by the family of the victim when the perpetrator is felt to get a disproportionate punishment. Widening the geographic scope, I understand Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed in a shootout with the USA military. As previously stated, whom to include is a difficult decision.

There are, but the law dislikes the competition and few militaries are willing to try against those in the USA. People are murdered for ill deeds (both bombed and shot on the street), and kidnapped by gangs or "special forces".

But the gas bill....

Things are not normal. It is like a lot of people are waiting for the next shoe to drop. Resistance is legal, so long as it does not go "too far". I am near an "ICE" city. When empty cars with cut seat belts started showing up, there was an added level of horror film unease. The kidnapping by random "not ICE" didn't amount to much, though we have yet to truly know who was kidnapped by "not ICE" (likely few). The murders have on not been good, but are at least fairly public. No one is arming, as a shooting war on American soil will get everyone killed. There were days I wondered if we would be bombed. So far the "keep calm, and resist." Crowd is making progress, which helps keep tensions from boiling over. Elections are coming up, which is providing an outlet for energy. Real voting won't be until November, and zero changes will happen until January 2027. Expect crazy shit to ramp up. America is huge though. For any trend in one location, the opposite is happening elsewhere. This is a very good time for the privileged to take a "mini-vacation". It both slows production and gives one a chance to enjoy their last days on Earth.

Mostly okay. Slow discussion building on why test scores are dropping and are they still dropping. Is it COVID (immeidate shock), Long COVID (long term health issues), or nearly all course work and books being on tiny laptop screens (money showed up for a wholesale transfer to Chromebooks during COVID. They were actually helpful during lock-downs, but were kept after.).

I agree with you regarding availability, and I find your comment interesting. I often find phone models of interest that are only available in Europe or the East. Phone selection in the USA is often terrible.

People have different levels for what they consider that other “people realized the truth”. Many communities are full of people that know the truth and when they act to change things get knocked down. As the Saint George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” There are a lot of really, really stupid people out there. Poverty, stress, hunger, etc make people even more dumber.

No OP, but with Snowden, a lot of the general outline was already known by those that pay attention. The specifics were new, but also largely filtered with “the government’s side”.

I want to push back on this part: Only if Microsoft acquires a major CPU chipmaker. In the USA, and other parts of the world, a small number of Billionaires are buying up everything. A small number of wealthy people could each own a part of the supply chain and for it on the vast majority. For extra enforcement, add in a legal or cultural push for reporting or shunning violators through the media companies owned by that same group.

Just adding links for the lazy… Clipper Chip en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chip www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/usa/clipper.htm

The computers in the store, yes. I expect all computers in the store to be phones and the cell company will verify. Open Source computers will be more important. Might need to brush up on wire wrapping… (Implication being that chip supplies might become dedicated to only those manufacturers that lock the product down.)

The old version didn’t and some retailers still sell that. We have found customers prefer the experience with the app! It is just the the experience without the app, but more modern. iOS only for now, but an Android version is expected soon!

On Lemmy? The local Lemmy communities for the communities most impacted. Currently, most of what I see if on https://midwest.social/c/usa@midwest.social Outside of Lemmy? mastodon.social This is where I have found most raw footage, plus stabilized and slowed footage. The local news stations for that area has the more verified info plus overviews. Snapchat map for that area show some of the improvised barricades and troop movements.

There are multiple meanings of “routine”. From your description I see you want to add variety. To spice things up, I usually get a coffee from the shops. When that gets boring, I go to a different shop or at a different time. There are dry erase dice that one can write actions on the different faces of. For those looking to break a habit, I usually do it by adding something, nearly anything early in the day. No reason to get a coffee at the shop if I am holding a coffee from home.

Interesting! FYI, not all Doctors require the constant monitoring, so some people can keep using the same machine longer.
