Not just the resolution, the way it’s lit and posed is very contemporary. You could rescan a good negative and get resolution like this, but that wouldn’t account for the fact that it doesn’t look anything like a posed photo from the 19th century.

Yep. Buried right next to “family values” and “states rights”.

The company absolutely does own shares of itself and it’s ability to secure credit and just engage in business in general depends of the value of that holding.

I big game machine that gives money to rich people isn’t going to break until there literally isn’t any more money left.

Take a look at countries with people starving in the streets while rich people live in gated compounds. Still think it “has to pop”?

Watch just tells you how greedy and miserly they are.

In other words this is just your canned response for when you get called out for posting stupid shit.

What part of your post do you think people don’t understand?

This might be the dumbest thing I have read today. Alan Turing is a widely recognized name, but few people are aware that the vast majority of the people who worked for him in were women. That part didn’t even make it into the movie. Nothing like this is ever done by one person, and its on you if you can’t get your head far enough out of your own ass to see that.

It might amaze you to learn that Turing did not work by himself, but actually led an entire team of codebreakers and programmers in Bletchley Park, the VAST majority of whom were women (despite what that dumb movie portrayed).

Was it classified because cracking the Enigma machine was still a matter of national security by the 1950s or because the UK didn’t want to talk about the people that cracked it?

It’s neat that AI is already ruining the world in really tangible ways.

Most people don’t find turning the lights off and on burdensome enough to justify a whole lot of effort to avoid.

It was mostly women, which was actually a bigger problem because despite a massive headstart, the British computer industry basically fired every early computer scientist they had the moment the boys came home and sent the ladies back to the kitchen.

Then they couldn’t navigate the conflict created by their class system: only gentleman received an education, but only working class men could work with machines, so who was supposed to work with computers?

In the end a big lead on computer development never really materialized into a real advantage for the UK because their culture just wasn’t ready for it.

This is literally what breaking down social barriers (you know, DEI) is supposed to address, so maybe we don’t waste the next opportunity.

Same. I was like “this cannot possible be a hard drive and it cannot possible get plugged into that thing, that’s where the wifi card goes on a laptop.”

Right next to my ps/2 keyboard and mouse with serial adapter cause you never know.

Its a problem if you don’t know to do it because the it is not intuitive if you aren’t familiar with hardware jumpers as a concept since this was one of the last holdovers from that era and befouled many a hobbyist. You build it and it “just doesn’t work” and “learn that jumpers are a thing” is pretty far down the list of things that most people troubleshoot when their new build won’t post.

Man, if you wanted to destroy the entire American tech sector it seems like dumping everything into a red herring product that won’t ever be more than a parlor trick would be a really good way to do it.

Don’t worry. Future generations will have an opportunity to dive all these problems after AI destroys a whole generation of useful development along with all the repositories of prior research.

Cutting the VAST majority of social media and replacing it with reading, listening to music, and talking to people, has dramatically improved my quality of life, but it really wasn’t easy.

The problem is that this one device we adopted kept getting worse at what it was supposed to do and got repurposed as a real time ad delivery and social engineering machine instead.
