Hollywood churns out mostly dogshit quality movies, reboots, and sequels, of which a single ticket is around $20.
A family of 4 could easily spend over $100 just to see one mediocre movie.
Either Hollywood movie studios works with theaters to change that reality, or theaters die, and studios get acquired by streamers without any fear of antitrust to hold them back.
The only change I can see them making is increasing their ticket and concession prices.
Even without considering any of the mitigating factors here, it is insane that British courts upheld the decision to stripe a citizen of their citizenship.
If she’s committed a crime then repatriate her, arrest her, and try her in a court of law for whatever crime she’s alleged to have committed.
Frankly, everyone involved in the decision to strip her citizenship should be arrested and prosecuted, irrespective of whether or not she’s ever found guilty of any crimes.
The crew should be treated like any other hostile covert intelligence asset and operatives who get arrested during their activities, not as ordinary criminals.
You have two choices:
Put her down or call ICE.
The former is more humane, but the latter would be a lot funnier.
But seriously, I would just disconnect, or at most, I would ask her to have the chatbot provides sources and then ask her to pull them up.
If her learning that it’s making up sources doesn’t get through to her, I wouldn’t try anymore. Just accept that she’s either going to have to come through it on her own, or she’ll just progressively get worse and worse, and you’ll have to decide if you want to stick around for that, I wouldn’t.
A pitch deck is a presentation tool used by sales reps when they’re presenting their existing products to perspective clients.
At least, that’s what it is in this context.
I rewatch Generation Kill every few years, such a fantastic miniseries.
And sometimes I just get the desire to watch part of the Christ killer scene.
Read the story.
I’m not saying she was right, but it’s not as comically villainous as it sounds.
She’s has a young child with autism, and this kid was bullying him and repeatedly dunking him underwater.
Again, not condoning her actions, just saying there are some mitigating circumstances.
And of the several hundred, or thousands, of smart TV models available, how many have you owned?
Of the tens of thousands of IoT devices available, how many have you owned?
Just trying to figure out the sample size that you based your statement on.
I guess I never considered going door-to-door in the apartment complex and smashing everyone’s Wi-Fi router whose settings displease me.
10/10 suggestion, will attempt.
Automatically joining open networks is a feature built into many devices, this is simply alleging that some TVs come with it enabled by default…
Also, that is a real feature that some advertising company’s offer to their clients:

Sounds like you owe some of your family members an apology.
Not OP, but I have heard that some smart TVs do automatically join open networks. Whether it’s true or not, I can’t say.
But if it is true, I would imagine it would vary between manufacturers and even specific device models.
That laptop is just one gigantic piece of e-waste.
“We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately
I wonder how many executives made these types of decisions knowing the technology could not perform as intended, but wanted to boost their quarterly or yearly bonuses, versus how many were just gullible morons.
This is an obscure right-wing backed publication / propaganda dissemination tool…

Yes and no.
The tariffs stoked tension so much so that Canadians have been boycotting American produced alcohol, and bourbons were some of the first products targeted due to their proximity to Mitch McConnell (Kentucky).
Mr. Wonderful is still a piece of shit though.
Just some random guy who had registered firearms and allegedly made anti-semitic comments online.
To fair, they pulled it before it was released.
This extra sloppy response is a result of someone internally leaking it.
It would be great if the SEO gods forever associated the names of the superintendent and principal with their public positions of support for child pornographers.
This was a project from Anthropic’s red team…
Worth the read though, very entertaining.
Well assuming this is the same linked article:
I realize I’m a bit late, but in case you haven’t decided yet, let me just say this:
Yes, oh fuck yes.
Easily one of the best shows on TV right now AND it has a regular yearly release schedule.
