Lol I'm so out of touch that only now I noticed it's DC

LOL that's why there was batman at the beginning

I was genuinely thinking it was Marvel ignoring all the references to the justice league. Like, my mind shutted off at the beginning of the movie, just watching the action but ignoring the story

LOL i can't believe I did such a mistake

There are too many. The other day I saw the latest flash movie. It's the second? Third? Fourth? I don't know because they don't put a number and I don't care enough. Too many stuff referenced other movies or series making watching a bit of a hassle. Is this just unknown and will be told later for making the movie interesting, or it's because the audience is supposed to having watched 40 hours of previous works?

If they really need to push a new superhero movie or series every 2 months, their stories should be self contained, at most separated in a trilogy. Not an infinite parallel universe constantly self referenced that needs a guide that tells you which content you need to watch and in which order.

Of course not. They install Facebook that has one ad every two posts, ads in WhatsApp is nothing

They don't seem good at all, long and weird

I don't know what text the LLM sniffed, but those aren't average at all

The Mac BIOS can update during a standard OS update without indicating that youโ€™ll brick the machine if it powers off for any reason

I hate Apple, but my Lenovo does exactly the same. It fucking installs BIOS updates automatically without any warning. Once, after a reboot it was hanging too much on a black screen and I thought it just froze, so I forced a shutdown by long pressing the power button. Luckily the BIOS restored via the fallback, but that wiped the TPM for some reason and because windows 11 on laptops automatically encrypts the drive with bitlocker I might have lost everything (luck again, I'm part of the 1% of the bitlocker users that actually keep an offline backup of the encryption key)

At least (I'm guessing, never bought any M1 Mac and will never do it) apple should be smart enough to disable the power button during BIOS updates, and maybe postpone the update on a low battery, leaving the danger only to desktop users

I guess some way to change your mind is giving you a share of the money the gambling industry is paying for having this happen

Before it was outlawed, in my country some gambling website even paid to rename the league to "bet and win league"

Same in Italy, the tax office will assume that the landlord would get a part of the rent in undeclared cash

Paywall. Isn't stupid for an article like this? It's a curiosity that attracts many people from the world. That page is designed to just be ad-supported. Nobody living outside Austria would ever subscribe to "the local - Austria" just because it's curious about a meme/ad.

Why even bother writing that article if nobody can read it

Is it something actually open source if

  1. It requires a proprietary backend, kept secret

  2. Not a single pull request is approved, all contributions are ignored for years, then finally rejected

  3. The issue tracker is kept secret

?

But meanwhile lose all credibility. If you don't want to commit to a specific piece of hardware, don't sell it. A $5000 whiteboard with a $600 yearly subscription AND that requires paid Google workspace subscriptions for each user (100 employees=$12000 each year) will NEVER be ultra popular. They already knew from the beginning that they wouldn't be possibly move millions of units of this and they would just cash in from the subscriptions.

All files generated on this devices are proprietary and saved on their servers. As of now, it's not possible to get them and open on a computer. When they pull the plug, they're all gone.

For example, when Twitter died and they sold all the forniture at the auction, they had more than an hundred devices like this. https://bid.hgpauction.com/past-auctions/herita10216?term=Jamboard

Maybe the new management kept some of the boards, but here they spent half million in hardware + 60k yearly for the software licenses + another hundreds of thousands for the required Google workspace accounts for the users. And for what? For e-waste that ends with no drop-in replacement. Now corps need to quickly find an alternative and they need to pay extra to convert the generated files to the new platform.

Behaving like this will definitely hurt future sales, as Google will be labeled as the supplier that suddenly disappears without a drop-in replacement.

There are a lot of other companies that discontinue and render the purchased hardware a brick within a short timeframe, for example Cisco, but at least they have an upgrade path and not "we exit the market, good luck".
