Well I discovered that ByteDance makes all it's money on a AI driven clickbait news app in China. I hope they regard the US as a hostile market and never release anything else here ever.

It's like someone looked at Facebook and Reddit and wondered if there was a way they could refine them into a more socially destructive product.

Don't get anything with less than a n100 cpu now. The older Celeron branded CPUs are garbage in comparison and stuff with n100s is cheap now

I was on a call within the last year where an industrial pc customer was talking about the next generation version of their product with an OEM. they said they couldn’t use a celeron/atom and needed a core i3 type processor

their previous product used an ivy bridge i5. (I think branded as Xeon)

if you want to be alarmed try and figure out when the average atom became on par with that part

Alright, the news is out.

Yes, I bought The Onion.

Why?
1/4

The Onion is an institution, a national treasure, and we need it. But its success is based on something different than most media companies. The Onion has been stifled, along with most of the Internet, by byzantine cookie dialogs, paywalls, bizarro belly fat ads, and clickbait content. And we’ve had enough. The Internet sucks, and it’s time we made it better. It’s time to focus on customers – end users – again.
2/4

That’s why we’re asking everybody to pitch in $1. If you care about The Onion, if the Onion ever made you laugh – give us a buck. For that dollar, you get… absolutely nothing. Just a smug sense that you’ve once again spent less on The Onion than its worth in your life.
3/4

Over time, we’ll be introducing new products and getting into new mediums. But more than anything – this is about unleashing the creative team that’s been making you laugh for over 30 years. Letting these amazing writers do what they do best.

the NHTSA dropped their tesla self-drive investigation and the results should not be surprising to anyone ITT

quote:

“A comparison of Tesla’s design choices to those of L2 peers identified Tesla as an industry outlier in its approach to L2 technology by mismatching a weak driver engagement system with Autopilot’s permissive operating capabilities,” the agency said.

Even the brand name “Autopilot” is misleading, NHTSA said, conjuring up the idea that drivers are not in control. While other companies use some version of “assist,” “sense,” or “team,” Tesla’s products lure drivers into thinking they are more capable than they are. California’s attorney general and the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles are both investigating Tesla for misleading branding and marketing.

NHTSA acknowledges that its probe may be incomplete based on “gaps” in Tesla’s telemetry data. That could mean there are many more crashes involving Autopilot and FSD than what NHTSA was able to find.

tldr: not only does it constantly get into accidents, it does a poo poo job of enforcing driver engagement even compared to other cars' assist features
