I would not want an AI on a chip in my head, but a long time ago I imagined that a math coprocessor would be nice.
A bunch of "skills" modules would be cool too. Want the skills of a ninja? Helicopter pilot? Fixed wing aircraft? Doctor? Race car driver? Chess grandmaster? Physicist? Engineer? All of the above? It's just a quick download.
Maybe you want to be a do-it-yourself kind of person? Download the plumbing, electrical, electronics, welding, mechanic, woodworking and construction modules.
That would be great. An AI in your head telling you what to do/think? Maybe won't shut up? Maybe takes over? No thanks. Lightspeed briefs in my dreams? No thanks.
I think that the device Dr. Mary Lou Jepsen is creating is a better technology, because it's a lot less invasive, and can be removed by hand without the use of surgical tools:
I heard that one problem with it is that you can't get the song "Call Me Maybe" out of your head.
not actually lying but saying things in a way that you thought you heard what you wanted to hear.
Like if I took a kg of 100% beef, and a kg of sawdust, and mixed them together and made hamburger patties, I could say my hamburgers were "Made with 100% beef".
All marketing?
I recently say a jug of juice that said "100% Juice", and underneath that in smaller letters "and other ingredients".
Saying that it's "normal" that "some are bent" is saying that "our process is flawed, and as a result, it is expected that some of the product will be suboptimal, and we consider that acceptable".
I am surprised that they didn't try to claim that bent ones are worth more because there are fewer of them, and you should consider yourself lucky to have gotten one, as if it was like a rare gold foil version of a trading card.
So cheap they can be installed at your local mall like a photo booth. Compare your current scan to the previous scan... Think of how many treatable cancers could be identified and treated before the meat bag even knew it was there.
Imagine how many cancers would be caused by hypochondriacs scanning themselves daily.
There IS local save. There is no backup of local saves other than to the cloud. This is also been the case for 12 years now. People losing save data when sending their Wiis into repair has been common for a long time.
After hearing that, I wouldn't use a Nintendo Switch if someone gave me one.
That's a lot of talk right there. I'm going to call you out for virtue signalling.
I misunderstood, thinking there was no local save options at all. I most certainly would not pay a subscription to save games.
Not allowing local backup sucks, but is not as bad as I had interpreted.
I have a modest proposal that I think is possible: Allow unlimited copyright extensions that are not automatic or free.
So my modest proposal is that a corporation can extend the copyright on any property by filing a form and paying a nominal fee. For the sake of argument I propose $5 to be the fee and for the form to get a 5-year extension. A dollar per year! Cheap!
Copyright is supposed to be a three-cornered deal between the content owners, the government, and the people. The people are supposed to benefit by things falling into the public domain; that's why the phrase "for limited times" appears in the Constitution. The people would get nothing from a 140-year extension, but would get something from my proposal.
I think you have the right idea, and I could get onboard for this. The deal keeps changing, and the people are getting screwed on the deal. They are supposed to get something out of it. Here's how that should happen. I say 10-15 years for free. Then if a rights holder wishes to extend that, they may, but the people need to get their compensation in exchange for any given work not falling into the public domain. I think that the $1/year fee you suggest is reasonable. Paid out to each and every person who is not getting access to the work in the public domain as originally agreed.

Google can also fuck off.
Unfortunately Google won't answer "Will do!" to that.
You turned down intervention. To jail with you!
"Nano" has also been abused.

We already know and have data on our customers. By the way, we protect this securely; they trust us.
Not any more.
The only way people will move to Mars is if something is actively driving them away from earth.

Or that other guy that people always talk about, who's name I will not utter?
Nobody lives on Antarctica permanently because there's no good reason to.
Don't forget to wear a Faraday glove whenever you aren't actively using the implant.
"Overall, 50.9% of those tweeting negatively [about the movie] was likely politically motivated or not even human,"
So the movie was so bad that even non-humans hated it?
Trolls or not, this movie was so bad on so many levels, and that is why I didn't like it. Not because of anything anyone anywhere said.
I feel bad for all the people who worked so hard on it, and Rian Johnson just made so many crappy decisions, particularly almost the entire story.
Spectre Folio. Honest marketing of Intel's trash.
Biometrics are used all over the world ... It is necessary today, whether you like it or not.
Oxygen, water, food. Only things that are necessary. Well, maybe toilet paper.
If u travel, then get used to it or take the bus or train.
It will come there next.
The selection of CD's around my area is very limited. If that is similar to many other regions, then I would not be surprised that CD sales were down.

There's a reason they say "money is the root of all evil".

I find the thing people are ignoring, and yet is the most important thing, is:
But Nintendo also said it will continue not allowing local backups of save data to an SD card or other outside storage.
I see no reason to ever own such a device. After hearing that, I wouldn't use a Nintendo Switch if someone gave me one.
When does it spy on you? When it is plugged in.
Users may choose to opt out at any time by disconnecting the TV from the power source.
Two notches please. One the full width of the device at the top. The second at the bottom, and also the full width of the device.
Copyright is supposed to be for a LIMITED time. As understood by the Framers of the Constitution, over 100 years is not limited.
Not to defend the scumbags who keep wanting more and more, but "eternity minus a day" is still a limited time.

It seems like killing police for unlocking an iPhone would get Apple in trouble.
The headline made me envision an exploding battery.
