ICE vehicles can also light on fire from salt water shorting out the low voltage batteries. Where’s the news here?

Any 13 year old who was using Skype back in 2009-2015 before Discord came along already knew about this. Skype resolvers have been a thing forever.

Yeah I didn’t need my fingerprints scanned at all for a passport. Just my picture.

People are acting like ChatGPT is storing the entire Harry Potter series in its neural net somewhere. It’s not storing or reproducing text in a 1:1 manner from the original material. Certain material, like very popular books, has likely been interpreted tens of thousands of times due to how many times it was reposted online (and therefore how many times it appeared in the training data).

Just because it can recite certain passages almost perfectly doesn’t mean it’s redistributing copyrighted books. How many quotes do you know perfectly from books you’ve read before? I would guess quite a few. LLMs are doing the same thing, but on mega steroids with a nearly limitless capacity for information retention.

Do apps really install the moment you press the button on Android? On iPhone you have to confirm through Face ID or by entering your passcode first.

Because electric cars were a relatively new concept that needed to be designed and prototyped. That’s a job done by engineers. Factory workers don’t really come in until mass production, after the engineering is done.

I mean I wouldn’t give my partner a chance if they snooped through my phone behind my back

The relationship would be over if I were you

(Make sure you’re doing this all behind a VPN)

I don’t personally trust the free streaming sites. I torrent the bare mp4 or mkv file because I can just play it on my own computer without worrying about malware or being tracked.

There are multiple mirrors for The Pirate Bay, just search it on your favorite search engine and they should come up. At least one of them always works. There’s also sites like 1337x, among other free trackers. (RIP RARBG, you’ll always live in our hearts)

There’s also private trackers that are a lot easier to get into than others.

Wow, do this many people really not get the reference? I thought it was funny

Someone already suggested bringing it to the cops earlier in this thread

Having watched the court case and seen the evidence, I was personally of the opinion that Rittenhouse did act in self defense. I was really hoping he would take his free pass after being acquitted and disappear to go live his life, but it seems like he’s decided to milk his fame and join the party of racists, bigots, and other pieces of shit. Shame.
