While that may be true, the article is accurate and has links to its sources.

The large renewal "uplift" is partly a strategy to get in front of the C levels and board of directors.

I heard of a one billion dollar renewal quote from Broadcom. The company didn't pay anything close to that. But it bypassed middle mgmt... Not exactly sure what the overall strategy is here, but this is not an isolated incident.

They don't make a distinction between AI generated and VFX. This is contained within the linked article.

In terms of the RCMP and their aggressive behaviour. It makes perfect sense. First Nations people have not been treated well by the RCMP or LE for a very long time in Canada... This still persists to this day, systematic discrimination and all that stuff.

This doesn't change anything in terms of hospital capacities here. The surgery backlog is massive, the hospitals are overrun with covid patients. Taking additional precautions is an attempt to try to protect the larger populations access to healthcare.

In lots of countries any form of unwanted direct or indirect contact would be considered assault. So by trying to force the mic away, she could have been charged with assault! If the mic is someone else's property and he would not give it up, the police would have the right to make unwanted contact to get it back.

But does the i9 version have performance issues (i.e. it under performs compared to the i7)? The XPS 15 with the i9 configuration comes with 32GB ram and it much cheaper than an equivalent macbook pro. I can deal with it getting hot!

I seriously doubt the majority of Google Employees would support defense contracting.

You would need to be pretty close to the server/storage/etc to get a clean enough signal to be useful though. So physical security might be enough to protect against this type of attack. You probably can't just dig up the powerline outside and start tapping it thankfully.

There are literally 2 much bigger recalls happening right now.

Airbags! Multiple companies have recalled a specific airbag module that catches on fire. 1+ million cars

Ford recalled 1.3 million cars last week, the steering wheel can fall off. That "internal manufacturing expertise" in action.

And lots of those stories are from Hawaii! Many many people have died their due to tsunamis, etc. They take their warnings seriously (in the past they didnt have them for things like tsunamis)

Monitoring software (elastic, splunk, etc..). That stuff is expensive!

That type of advertising is fairly ineffective at "convincing" someone to make a purchase. Compared to more modern advertising techniques (like Facebook or Google) and their advertising resulted in me making a 100k purchase of software. The TV cannot market particular seminars, or blog posts that I might find relevant to what i'm doing right now, but google and FB can.

It's scary and interesting.
