See subject. :-) Slamming TX representative, more than its citizens as apparently 78% of Texas voters think abortion should be allowed in some form, UT poll shows - meaning their representatives pass these things against citizens' wishes. On the other hand, the people keep voting for them, probably for other reasons, so that's on them.

But, more seriously, ...

Agreed.

I thought their (actual) use was to train AIs. If AIs can solve them, it's just another job they've taken away from us humans.

Soon there will be laws limiting the use of AIs over people, then corporate lobbyists clamoring for more AIs, then Congress will create an H-AI Visa program so companies can use them, as well as cheaper, foreign ones, instead of people and domestic AIs, ... #SatiricButProbablyTrue

I'm confused. Is that a bug or a feature? :-)

Blocking the view? WTF. How many phones and WiFi APs are in orbit? :-)

You know that word means more than your chosen narrow interpretation - right?

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that even "obsolete" hardware can be useful. As a sysadmin, I've used plenty of old(er) server class systems in production, as well as development and research, settings and they generally work fine; just be realistic about their performance and capability and plan accordingly. Not everything needs the latest and greatest.

"Obsolete" hardware often works fine, and it's usually rather inexpensive.

For example, all my systems are old(er) and inherited from friends/family. My Windows 10 system is a Dell XPS 420 that a friend gave me in 2017 and it works great -- don't know when he got it, but the model was discontinued in 2009. Only thing I've replaced is the HDD, later replaced with a SSD. My Linux Mint system uses an ASRock Z77 Extreme3 motherboard with Intel Core i7-3770 CPU (32 GM RAM) -- old, but works great. My OPNsense router uses the MB from a HP a6130n with Athlon 64 X2 (B) 5000+ CPU (8 GB RAM), and a few Intel GB NICs (1 Intel 82571EB/82571 (2-port), 1 Intel 82574L (1-port)) and stuffed into a simplified case - very old, but works like a champ. I've got two other old systems currently unused: Dell PowerEdge T110 (32 GB ECC RAM) and a Dell Inspiron 530a - both run Linux like a champ. Using SSDs instead of HDDs for the OS disks helps keep these pretty useful.

Everything? Pretty sure just destroying the disks (SSDs/HDDs) would be sufficient. Destroying *everything* seems like wasteful overkill. I've worked places (DoD contractor) where drives being discarded had to be shredded and/or melted, but drives being returned to the Government were just securely wiped, several times. In practice, we securely wiped all drives, even ones destined to be physically destroyed.

I'm sure someone would by the servers...

Which is why Trump doesn't have an MBA, he only golfs. :-)

Heh. Guess I should have, more correctly, said, "the page for bleach" instead of, "the page for Bleach". :-)

Or she'll have info incriminating Trump and she'll "die by suicide". In any case, can't see a pardon/commutation going over well with his base - they love him, but hate pedophiles, and letting her off makes no sense (yes, I know... Trump) - but if he waits until he's almost out of office, I can't imagine him giving two fucks about political consequences. He'll be off somewhere retired. If that happens Republicans will have a tough time running away from the fallout.

Sure, but it also fades colors on fabrics, which is another use/definition for a bleach, or bleaching.

Trump sees everything as a zero-sum game and only makes deals that benefit him, or tries to anyway. This benefits China/ByteDance how? They can operate in the entire rest of the World. Of course, if Trump doesn't get his way I can see him trying to enact secondary tariffs (what else /s) on countries that allow TikTok, but can't really see that working - cutting off our nose, etc.... In the end, China just has to wait 3.5 years ...

It needs several easy and straight-forward ways to *completely* disable, bypass or toggle this off -- and not only by being logged in. I'm talking, cookie, uBlock filter, alternate URL, etc... And no it works for a while then Google fucks that up for us that Do. Not. Want. This.

And rocket fuel. :-)
