Almost everyone on the left in the US regards CNN as corporate garbage.

I think far left, not left. But even if this were true, it is far from being called “Russian troll”. What do you think in the article that makes it or him “Russian troll”, or even “corporate garbage”?

I do not understand this joke. Is it about “time is relative”?

Don’t judge other people by yourself.

You misspelled Unix.

That was never stated as official policy. Nor the actions aligned with it. You confuse Israel with Hamas, who both stated and acted upon it.

Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign-finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. It were more serious allegations.

I kind of understand them, because if you listen Fox News, you will learn about Soviet style prosecution, about how judge manipulated court. “Expert” after “expert” say that it is political hunting, etc. It is easy to manipulate those with single source of news and views.

That’s because the state is essentially responsible for house safety- there are many codes the buildings have to satisfy. Not everything is regulated like that. There are no many codes (if at all) associated with chargers, and charger safety is responsibility of a company making the charger. So at least I can see some logic here. But with low power devices like console the risk is very low to have someone electrocuted because incorrect low voltage (compared to what car is using to charge) card is installed. Maybe there is a risk of fire?

There is no chance for him to go to jail. Such sentencing will be appealed to Supreme Court and you know what will happen next.

No, it has to be certified (by state?) electrician.

I don’t know. Could still be safety concerns? In many districts/counties you can’t even change a light-switch yourself.

I understand exception of medical devices where manufacturers carry huge responsibility if something goes wrong. But consoles???

They are really left leaning, not balanced, and it shows in their opinions, but also in news selection. Since fediverse is also left or even significantly left leaning, it gets shared a lot here.

This is horrible article. The only number given related to LLM is 700,000 liters of water used, which is honestly minuscule in impact on environment. And then there are speculations of “what if water used in aria where there is no water”. It is on the level of “if cats had wings, why don’t they fly”.

Everything we do in modern would consumes energy. Air conditioners, public transport, watching TV, getting food, making elections… exactly the same article (without numbers and with lots of hand waving) could have written. “What if we start having elections in Sahara? Think about all the scorpions we disturb!”

Yes, but this is agreed in advance, not “I am late, let me call”

From the cannon…

The relative costs of computers, consoles and games themselves is significantly lower today than in the eighties.

You don’t understand. It is a motivational poster about perseverance. Or is it demotivational? Always confuse them.

I think 20% is too generous.

The other funny part is his previous shot.
