They’d be like yeah no problem.

TV with smart features: $999. TV without smart features: $1,200

“A bitch to setup” - $180bn should pay for that setup problem to be less of a bitch surely.

The Mars Perseverance project cost $2.7bn to deliver. Way more of a bitch to deliver than air gapping a test env!

“Smartest of the smart” - what does that do to get its air gapped network connected to a physical network? Blackmail the admins?

Even with a single agent, why the hell was this not properly air gapped / disconnected with network monitoring in place. Definitely not adequate for anything.

This is like sysadmin 101 level stuff.

"I miss websites". Damn that hit. I realise the only place pushing me to an actual website these days are my RSS feeds (self hosted FreshRSS), and HN. Maybe very occasional share on LinkedIn.

The Jumanji “What year is it” meme 100% applies here.

OMG I love this!

I was at an industry event this week. a CEO of a startup took the big board of vendors who are present, put it through an LLM. It summarised the companies he should be looking at discuss partnership opportunities with and why based on his business. Spot on.

Hard agree, but Average Joes have no idea what any of those words mean let alone the means to do it.

Anyone able to use the API? The CSV link is dead and I cant get the API to authenticate. The Beta flag doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but I love the idea!

Time to decouple the UK Electricity price from Gas so we can actually reap the benefits of this as a consumer.

If the current government reversed it, the 'oh think of the children' angle from the Tories/Reform against them would be relentless. I cant say they have been amazing at messaging as it is.
