Similar story. I did have a pro subscription as a trial. I'm finding the free tier is as good(for my purposes) as the paid model.

I use the trust but verify method. Build in snippets, review what AI spits out and chive on if it meets my satisfaction. I cannot blindly write something with AI and utilize it.

Keeping build in steps keeps me as well as AI focused.

10 - 15 years from now I won't be surprised if artifical eyes with IP(or some sort of digital connectivity) with either self-charging via solar or heat from our bodies will be a product.

Eventually you come to realize the more things change the more they stay the same.

I didn't read their comment as a slight to the IT staff, just MIT's decision.

This reminds me of the 'fine the johns to mitigate prostitution' argument.

> What is the use case?

I worked R&D on LoRa project a few years ago. Their use case was a long-range emergency communication system for workers in remote areas(no wifi, lte or LEO at that time). Now I see a bunch of applications in this field that aren't what you describe. :)

> enjoyed computing so much more in the 80's

Also the days when you turned on a computer it was ready to rock within two seconds. A few friends were discussing video game load times throughout the years. Overall the elapsed times haven't changed much at all.

Of all the reading I've done on this story, your comment so far is the only post which would explain why linkedin is even doing this.

If anyone else as any more info on the why, please share.

Why would a browser(be designed to) care about this?

MacOS IMHO is no longer a viable OS for people like us(who know what this website even is). MacOS26 along with Windows11 are enshittifying and in some ways it's glorious to see. I do feel bad for non-IT people though, Linux is daunting to them...I get it.

I read elsewhere this may be partial reason why BC forged ahead. As Canada/US relationship is on the rocks and BC stopped waiting for the US to change.

This tech is known as BPL(broadband over powerline) if you want to look further into it.

Not defending the buy but completely might be inaccurate. He has a masters in comp sci eng. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhu_Gottumukkala

I do realize this scholastic achievement is not indication he knows what he is doing.

Yup. The poster above would have a difference in opinion if it happened to someone close to them. It takes a village even with AI.

> Modern society totally devalues anything considered even slightly old.

Mild counterpoint. Our professions(all things IT) moves bloody fast.

If I were looking for info on cooking, baking, knitting sure... but IT stuff, I opine many of us seek the latest info because of the breakneck speeds this profession is known for.
