I've had comcast and cox. They are essentially the same money grabbing companies. I just cut cox 3 years ago because my internet went from 300 Mbps uncapped for $65 to 300 Mbps uncapped for $95 per month. The cap wouldn't allow my family to stream endlessly and we have 3 google nest camera. Plus I was paying around $250 for internet and cable TV package. Switched to another company in my area offering Gigabit fiber for $60 per month for life. So much better. Cable TV is becoming worthless and isn't worth more then $35 per month. Plus I get 33 channels OTA for free. I spent a one time $200 payment to get a large antenna installed in my attic. Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, and Paramount Plus (~$50) + Gigabit Fiber ($60) = $110 per month.

Everyone is going to need at least a 1000w PSU soon if you plan to have a good GPU and CPU.

Microsoft is laughing right now. They probably hurt google more by using chrome as their new default web browser too.
edit: Chrome (Microsoft Edge is built off of Chrome browser)

I'm guessing it's bad enough and they have proof that it's causing serious issues, which is why they did it.

Reply to comment by Tearakan in Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx
Your heart is in the right place, but taxes just end up going to the consumer. Your "whatever" plastic you buy will now be even more expensive to purchase. Companies will end up skirting the tax, but still charge you more saying they are now taxed on it.

Reply to Study finds AI assistants help developers produce code that's more likely to be buggy / Computer scientists from Stanford University have found that programmers who accept help from AI tools like Github Copilot produce less secure code than those who fly solo. by Sorin61
The only AI that would be amazing is one that would automatically suggest accurate ways to remedy a bug. No, Im not suggesting it tell me to add a null check that it failed on. Go through the code and figure out how a scenario that should never have been null in the first place, due to the business cases, ended up null. Look at my databases, services, etc. Honesty, it wouldnt be able to without knowing the business logic, so Im confident that AI won't be replacing me in my lifetime. The AI would have to attend every meeting to determine exactly the customer wants. Could you imagine how upset the customer would be after telling a AI what they think they want, compared to what the AI produces. This is a real life problem that happens with people everyday.

A single mid sized corporation typically uses as much power or more then a small town. Better stop creating new businesses.

Reply to Microsoft says the global energy crisis can cost the company $800 million more in energy costs this year by chrisdh79
Imagine what its costing consumers. We have to pay higher energy prices and price hikes from companies such as yours. The only difference is that companies will recover the costs from consumers.

Reply to Ford says EV unit losing billions, should be seen as startup by EW234
Its no different then when Walmart spent billions to try to catch up with Amazon online sales. If you don't keep up and spend the money early, it becomes excessively more expensive to catch up.
