    NSA is under Pete Hegseth's Department of War [sic] if that is any indication of their position and priorities.

    How many historical examples of civilians being misidentified as combatants does it take before we question whether these strikes have all been drug boats?

    Having seen Musk fandom, every unhinged Grok claim has a good chance of having actually been written by a human somewhere in its training data.

    The boring but more likely explanation is that "most addicted" is just a weird statistic that produced weird results. Eglin has something like 50,000 people but it's actual populat…

    If I follow you correctly, you're saying that we should not investigate or prosecute crimes committed by politicians¹ because the CIA did something on a TV show? That's an interest…

    I don't know who that is or what that means. I'm referring to the actual indictment filed after the investigation that those phone records were subpoenaed during. It's unclear if y…

    Maps looks like a swing at "library of real world immersive 3d content" that landed on "guy air-tapping his way through a slideshow of bridge pictures".

    I'm not seeing how other phones are being held back by any of this. Google and Samsung have design patents, too, and my Pixel Watch also has a blood oxygen sensor.

    I think what you're looking for is not "copyrighted material" but material that's both 1) used without permission and 2) outside the scope of fair use. There's no easy answer there…

    Um, okay. Specifically, glasses don't try to do any kind of gaze tracking, gesture recognition, spacial awareness, any kind of 3d, depth, or immersion. You could add more cameras a…

    Meta's glasses are "normal sized" because they don't even attempt to do what headsets do. To think one will replace the other misunderstands both.
