The pirate is looking to save money with their copyright infringement.

These AI companies are looking to make money from it.

I know what the 3/4 switch does on the back of a VCR.

I also know what a VCR is.

The bank closest to my house took out the ATM in the lobby. There's two ATM's in the drive thru lanes, but they frown on anyone using them that's not in a 4-wheeled vehicle. Your other option is one of the tellers like it's 1950.

A couple of years after the show originally came to an end, Discovery tried to revive it but with a completely different crew running everything. It was terrible and Discovery ended the revived show after a handful of episodes. That's why the last few dots on the plot are all way down there, not just the final episode. As the revived show went, the finale wasn't really any worse (or better) than the others.

I also don't want to be the "it works on my machine" either - but I've had a 13" Framework for over 2 years now, been using XFCE on it the entire time with little drama. Granted, I haven't tried Gnome or KDE, but my experience is that Linux with XFCE is fine on the 13" Framework and I think the screen looks great*. I can't imagine Gnome or KDE are going to be that different.

*Well, other than the screen being glossy. Framework now offers a matte replacement, though I haven't cared enough to buy that and swap it out yet.

I'd be fairly certain the washing machine has a few sensors and a fairly simple computer program (designed by humans) that can make some limited adjustments to the wash cycle on the fly.

I've seen quite a few instances of stuff like that suddenly being called "AI" as that's the big buzzword now.

A.I., the 2001 movie.

David (the robot kid) is trapped underwater repeatedly asking the statue to make him a real boy. His batteries eventually run out and everything goes dark. Tragic. Credits roll.

Everything that happened after that in the actual movie involving the far future with the aliens or whatever that was ends up on the editing room floor.

No checkbox for Wesley Crusher? 🤔

The thing is, it forced the people making games to release them as a finished, working product, with the bugs (mostly) stamped out.

Today it's just push something out the door now, and we'll ~~patch it~~ soak them for even more money with DLC later.

I did switch over to yt-dlp some time later as development seems to have slowed on Pytube and yt-dlp seems to be where all the activity is.

I did the opposite. After one of the big updates, Windows 10 decided it was no longer going to work with the Vista-era drivers for an old Core 2 Duo laptop. To be fair to Microsoft, was I pretty impressed when I initially installed Windows 10 and it accepted those ancient drivers without any complaints on a laptop that was 10 years old at that time.

So I instead installed Manjaro and everything worked just fine.

Safari is holding back the web with their old, quirky, outdated engine. However, as Safari's engine is the only option for iOS, most web developers can't afford to ignore Safari because they can't ignore the iPhone. So it's IE all over again - an old, outdated browser that everyone nevertheless has to support as a significant portion of the users are using it. In some ways it's even worse, as iPhone users don't have any choice due to Apple's restrictions, but even in the darkest days of IE's stranglehold on the web Microsoft never restricted what browsers you could install on Windows.
