This would be a good time to mention that I'm all for computer rights.
Right to repair, right to vote, right to education and healthcare.
I care about computers.
Computers are my friends.
My computer is paid a competitive salary.
Just covering my ass for the inevitable technological singularity

Andres is back to the office three days a week, and like many knowledge workers, he’s not happy about it. Let's schedule a meeting to talk about it. Virtual, or IRL?

When Shutterfly decided recently to move the database where it clusters reams of customer photos to the cloud, one name was noticeably absent from its list of potential providers: Oracle Corp. Can't understand why anyone would move away from Oracles outstanding security record and friendly licensing practices.

California-based Astra on Sunday launched two shoebox-size NASA satellites from Cape Canaveral in a modest mission to improve hurricane forecasts, but the second stage of the company's low-cost booster malfunctioned before reaching orbit and the payloads were lost. It's almost like space is dangerous.

Quote from the article: It was the seventh launch of Astra's small "Venture-class" rocket and the company's fifth failure. Yikes!

There’s a growing split over how much room browsers should leave for ad blocking — and Chrome and Firefox have ended up on opposite sides of the fight. The name is Spock. If we don't battle to the death, they *will* kill us both.

RFC EDITOR PLEASE DELETE THIS SECTION.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google uses MACHINE LEARNING and DEEP AI to scrape the menus out of PDFs and photos submitted by patrons. It works about as well as you'd expect. Either that or £800 burgers exist and are the best things I could ever eat.

A Google employee has given us greater insights into the mathematical mystery that is pi (also known to many of us as 3.14). Spoiler alert: it's a 2, preceeded by a 4.

A new supercomputer called Frontier has been widely touted as the world's first exascale machine - but was it really? Although Frontier, which was built by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, topped what is generally seen as the definitive list of supercomputers, others may already have achieved the milestone in secret. And, are there aliens involved?

First we had to contend with fake news. Now it seems we have to contend with fake AI conversations. At least, that's my take on the matter. But then again, Google put him on leave for breach of confidentiality? More obfuscation to make us think this stuff really exists? I suppose it's possible, but I'm a glass half-empty person when it comes to AI. Actually, glass mostly-empty person.
