Please watch the video, it's worth it over all the dumb shit we spend time on online. Tech Jesus was able to get the attention of the highest level of management responsible for customer service and got them to make (12) tangible commitments to their customers who were screwed by ASUS.

He did it very professionally and in an effective way, and constantly maintained the goal of the discussion (which you can tell is not to make inflammatory and accusatory content that will get clicks, but to get his viewers proper support and refunds from ASUS).

I've never seen a YouTube channel go to this length to actually take an action against a company for a specific issue in the interest of the consumers and get results (as opposed to just making videos to bring awareness).

The video fails to explain what about this is "AI" as opposed to active noise cancelling with some regular old signal processing.

Advanced detection tech boosts F-22 radar signature 60,000 times in c/[email protected]

The article didn't bother to link the paper. Also odd way to put it to say it "increases signature". Like, have they found a way to throw radar reflecting goo on the F-22?

No, this is essentially about networked radars. Which would be interesting if they bothered to discuss the tech. I suppose I'll wait for Sandboxx News to cover it.

This is why you don't buy in to subscriptions for every little thing.

FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps in c/[email protected]

This actually does keep prices in check. Albeit, a bit backasswardsly.

I may be off on the specifics but it's something like: Having to offer 100mbps at the lowest rates in (poor neighborhoods) increases the speeds of each tier while keeping the price the same.

What kind of "tip" is paid upfront before the service is rendered?
