Great so now I need both a new motherboard and a new CPU also it can install the operating system and I can then not use the AI features because I don’t want them. Especially stupid because I can already use AI if I wanted without having to get an NPU by going on Microsoft’s own AI website.

I can’t see corporations going for this.

No under the NATO definition of peace. Don’t be moving the goal posts now.

Copy editing won’t be an executive’s job. But yeah, they didn’t do the bare minimum which is concerning, it seems to indicate that they may not do the bare minimum on all of their articles. How much stuff went undiscovered?

I’m not going to outright say that journalist shouldn’t use AI to write articles, because it’s basically an enforceable rule, but there should be someone at some point whose ultimate responsibility is to make sure that the articles are at least factual, whether they were written by a human or not. Determining whether a quote is legitimate is pretty easy, you just have to Google the quote, if you can’t find any other sources you start to ask questions. As I said it’s the bare minimum they could have done.

Depends what your definition of defence is though, doesn’t it. NATO could just be considered to be defence of peace in which case yeah you could have a mandate to intervene in certain situations and it would still be in defensive peace.

I think you’re trying to make a distinction without a purpose.

I’m all for a specific and localised Armageddon that takes out just Israel and the US. Sadly I don’t think of Iran actually has the firepower to do that.

I haven’t worked in retail since 2015 so it may have changed but our system ran on Windows XP and was basically a visual basic interface. It was always amusing when it crashed to desktop and do you remembered how old it’s underlying OS is.

Occasionally it would crash and default to Armenians or something so you just had to press buttons from memory to change the language back into English.

But the real question is, will it run the calculator app?

Walking with dinosaurs is like 20 years old it’s not recent.

Yes that was the retcon explanation. The actual explanation is that they wanted to have Velociraptors in the movie and weren’t really bothered about the fact that they aren’t actually that big, there are species of raptor that are that large, but they didn’t want to use their names because they were less well-known. Velociraptor was one of the few dinosaurs people knew. T-Rex didn’t become famous until after Jurassic Park.

I think it’s funny how people go on about majestic horses. They’re not majestic, they are uncoordinated panicky idiots.

My aunt has a horse and I’ve seen him run into a tree, there’s one single tree in his paddock and it’s a giant oak, and he’s run into it at least three times. He panics if he can’t see his friend, often because his friend is behind him, and then runs madly around until he crashes into something, or stumbles into the pond.

This is the horse and had a panic attack because the farmer had bought a new wheelbarrow and it looked different to the one he was used to.

From now on whenever referring to him, the media need to use his full name, “Failed Reform candidate Matthew Goodwin”.

So obviously he’s a tosser but I also can’t believe how thick he is. He’s trying to appeal to the electorate in northern England, in Manchester, in 2026, and his go-to line is “Christian heritage”, now that might have worked well in the 1800s but I don’t know if he’s noticed but there’s been a bit of a cultural revolution since then, and we don’t really respond very positively to religious statements anymore. Then on top of all of that he put out that leaflet in an area that is 40% Muslim.

Talk about an inability to read the room.

I was saying this the other day. The best way Zack can get elected is to stand on a platform of pissing off Trump. Even reformer voters aren’t hugely in favour of Trump.

Churchill would have also told Trump to do one. He was not known for his lack of candour. The UK was at war with Germany before the Americans got involved so I don’t know what trump’s talking about. The US joined the UK on that one.

Why would Churchill get the UK involved in a war that didn’t already affect the UK?

Of course knowing any of this would require Trump to have actually read a history book which is probably where the issue starts.

Which is more believable anyway, so I’m not really sure why it changed.

Yes the boiling frog approach. Now basically going to do it one at a time so they don’t get too much pushback.

A new role for Neil Parish I think

They haven’t taken anything. The US oil companies have zero interest in Venezuela primarily because setting up operations would be prohibitively expensive.

Cost benefit analysis is a thing and the Trump administration are far too stupid to be able to cope with it. Essentially it may not actually be worth exploiting another country, this being a concept that Trump cannot understand because he has the brain of a chronically depressed fruit fly.

That’s not how budgets work. The US has a massive air carrier fleet where do you think they got that from did it just spring into existence no they paid for it.

the world is using moving away from using the US dollar as the world’s default currency. They’re not going to have unlimited amounts of money for much longer.

I don’t think this is a good plan I feel like this won’t work. Didn’t we just vote the conservatives out I feel like that was the point.

No he does he has his far right supporters in other countries. That’s why a lot of governments are being careful to not outwardly criticise him too much, it would mean problems for them back home. But the more and more of this kind of stuff Trump does, the easy and easy ot becomes for politicians to make increasingly critical statements on Trump without it affecting their support back home.
