Probably because that's an blindingly obvious Chinese knockoff of Boston Dynamics' Spot. BD doesn't want to sell weapons but the USMC still wanted to try out their ideas so they found a company with fewer ethics.

"Old nerds" were ostracized in school. They got started in tech when it was about coding and tech being fun; there was no crazy money in it. Even the dotcom boom can't hold a candle to the salaries and status swirling around now. It's a different attitude and I think it shows in how you approach work and the workplace.
Ageism is a serious topic in tech and I wonder how each generation will be viewed. Certainly "greybeards" were considered oracles of wisdom and solid foundations.
Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002'
I don't have an Xbox but I love that mouse and keyboard are considered cheating devices.
They're normalized in some places. I see people wearing them and not just the "Covid isn't over!" folks.
It's absolutely history but just not Civil War history. This is the Charlottesville statue and it's iconic of our contemporary far right nationalist problem. Imagine things like this being a part of an exhibit laying out the turmoil our country is going through.
Edit: A lot of key pieces of history are missing because people didn't look to the future. I think some of it should have been carefully stored in a basement somewhere. Out of sight for at least 20 years.
I thought this was a bug in Youtube. It's intrusive and annoying.
Do other video apps do this? Why?
Wikipedia is anything but anarchy. There's so much bureaucracy it would surprise even Kafka.
I also don't think Elon's psyche is built around an abstract notion of economic systems. He's simply a narcissist that desires shiny things, in a very basic and unrefined way. Rich people just want to add baubles to their menagerie.
Uhh, I dunno how much declassification you're looking for but here's the US Navy's Youtube channel with a video of some test firings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSce3nEY6xk
IIRC, the problem wasn't that it didn't work but that the barrels wore out too quickly to be useful. I suppose they could have put this on a Zumwault like originally intended but that would just be a PR stunt when the main problem was throwing the gun away after 10 shots.
The privacy thing was always hiding the real truth. Apple will never be able to compete with Google on ads or tracking: they have neither the engineering chops nor the reach. By being "privacy first", it saves Apple money and cuts off a little of Google's revenue stream.
The benefit to customers was a secondary effect.
I know, right? That quote led me to the brain-bleach-required section of Wikipedia. If you want to ruin a nice Friday too:

Although above that one, "goombah" can be (not always) used as a slur against Italians? Growing up with Super Mario, that is kinda funny but then also concerning. Like it's been hiding in plain sight.
Really? They're absolutely everywhere on Lemmy:
Merely challenging some of these points can get you banned on a few instances.
