I've for decades have opted to use pvc conduit for underground installations. This way I can pull/replace wire. Reading this made me realize that putting fiber inside conduit in inaccessible areas would be a safe way to go. Years

I guess Micro$oft has so much invested into their AI that they're trying to insure a return on that investment by pushing it onto everyone. I read this morning that their AI i to provide free heating for 6,000 nearby homes with its hea

Yea! Finally an answer to the big brother Windows 11! But isn't Google just as bad at spying on us? It's just trading one big brother for an another. Oh yeah... didn't think of that. Hey haven't you ever jus

The modern copyright is having the opposite effect of what the founding Fathers had intended. The copyright was meant to provide protection and income to an author's family in the event of his death. Then after a reasonable time, th

Could be the vehicle stopped for some other reason and the rapper falsely accused Tesla. It would help as PR for his song as people will want to hear it. Note most gas powered cars now can do this. General Motors has been able to remotely d

A company can't operate without a source of income. Even a non-profit still needs a source to keep the lights on. In the case of DeepSeek, I believe it is being used as a tool by the CCP to collect data, propaganda and as an economic

I think discoveries by AI would be due to pattern matching. Like finding overlooked cancer markers that can be used for an earlier prognosis. The genius of Einstein and his thought experiments may elude an AI. It may take an AI designed on
