Judgement is also free, apparently. Kids these days, amirite? YouTube is an amazing place to learn new skills and if you want to learn how professionals deploy code, a peek behind the AWS curtain can be very helpful even if it is too expens

The title is misleading: the chip isn't useless, it is basically NFC and can be read just fine. The number on it can be looked up in a registry to notify the owner of a lost pet. I believe there is nothing preventing you from registeri

I find this complaint totally asinine. You can hand-craft software if you like, but cheap is what customers want and that's what they're going to get. Do you spend 10x as much for hand crafted solid wood furniture, or do you buy

The comments on this thread are a perfect mixture of Group A, explaining how there is no value in AI tools, and if there was, where is the evidence? And Group B, who are getting value from the tools and have evidence of using them to delive
