The article mentions both. Meta is still complaining about GDPR.

Sounds like it's working to me.

Zuckbot, comply with GDPR or forget about EU.

That's the same timeframe as the one used in the article, and sure, they could have made it explicit again, but implicitly it makes sense because it's the one that's useful for a direct comparison.

Turns out, the implicit timeframe that should be clear after reading the article was the right one, and it's pretty damning for bitcoin as is. So again, I am not sure what point you want to make.

In 2023, Microsoft and Google consumed 48 TWh of electricity (24 TWh each).

Your point?

The data in the article was for one year. This is the same unit.

What, you've never seen that famous city with two Huawei and one Ericsson buildings, a six-floor Eiffel tower, a dozen random pylons per block, blue neon streets and a castle?

Every time stuff like this is mentioned, I'm just wondering...

Dude, even if you're put on ice for like 40 years, extremely generous estimate, who's going to care about bringing you back to life? Grandkids who barely even knew you? Your company shareholders who'd suddenly have to deal with a stupid caveman amongst them?

You'll literally be better off dead for everyone.

The more time passes, the worst. Guaranteed, someone will pull the plug long before science can resurrect you.

French public services tend to switch between FOSS and proprietary software, depending on the politics of the time.

In my little corner of it, they're leaning toward proprietary right now, especially since a big Microsoft ecosystem deal was kind of forced on us and we're supposed to go all in. Who knows how long it'll last though.

Still think those people should have gotten a playdate instead, it's more fun and certainly not less useful (which is, not at all).

(When I first heard about the r1 I immediately thought it was weird how the 2 devices looked alike, I've since learned they shared the same designers).

The article made that joke too, and... Yeah it's spot on.

force everyone's data into their OneDrive account. OneDrive now at capacity, you must upgrade to ensure all your data is backed up and retained.

If it's made without any agreement from the user (hundred pages long EULA doesn't count), time to GRPD the fuck out of them.

Perhaps perplexity has privileged pipelines for perpetrating its pumping purposes.
