My thoughts as well. The main complaints I remember hearing about CDs were people claiming that they were “too clean” and didn’t have the same personality as analog formats

Excited to try this out. I’ve been using back in time for years on my home server. It’s a great, lightweight easy to use backup system.

I’m genuinely curious if this was a human error or an over eager instance of Copilot

There are a lot of reasons to hate on Meta, but this seems mostly harmless. It might even be a positive thing if it helps parents spend more quality time with their kids instead of doomscrolling their FB feed. So what if the parents got the story from AI. I remember being too exhausted to do much of anything sometimes when my kids were younger. Getting some help with a bedtime story would have been welcomed

It’s an interesting idea. A company called Hyliion https://www.hyliion.com/ tried something similar here in the US about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to have success in the market and ended up pivoting to power generation for data centers.

I wonder why Fox News is so interested in this story?

It will be interesting to see what happens. Other large laptop makers such Dell have some of the same scale advantages (minus in-house silicon) and might be more willing to sacrifice on profit margin.

The answer to that question depends on if you count hours spent sleeping with your employees as “working”

You can say that, and it might sound good on paper, but someone who went on a mission to take from the poorest to enrich himself cannot be considered anything but a monster from a moral perspective

I could be convinced to support public cameras if access to the footage was tightly controlled and only used for solving serious crimes, but government officials and flock themselves have repeatedly shown that they can’t be trusted to use them in a responsible manner. It’s too powerful of a tool to put in the hands of untrustworthy individuals

New comment by SonOfKyuss in "Tesla Goes Ahead and Admits Its Robotaxis Are Sometimes Human-Controlled"

SonOfKyuss — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:53:35 +0000

I don’t understand the controversy here. I know Tesla is prone to false advertising, but having a human take over in an emergency situation seems like a good safety measure. There have been documented instances of autonomous vehicles blocking traffic during emergencies. Having a human operator step in in those situations seems like a good idea.
