oh, it’ll still happen now… just no ‘15 minutes’ announced to callers.
it will be the actual honest estimated wait time, and more than 15 minutes during customary busy periods…
after they shred half, then another half, of their telephone support staff.
tesla has been investigated, as well… so tesla, neuralink, boring, spacex and starlink… old spice himself, x(sh)itter would be, his current government work would be…
so pretty much every fucking thing that elon musk has paw prints on is investigated or would be.
early models didn’t have wifi, only usb or cellular from one provider or another–and those models’ 3g connectivity was killed off years ago.
this will obsolete all the non-wifi kindles still in use.

1438 days, 14 hours, 6 minutes remaining.
not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they’re worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he’s giving up on making his own.
i just use repurposed PCs. cost (or lack of, rather) is the prime factor.
the main playback ‘device’ is currently a 6th gen laptop that runs lid down (doesn’t support turbo boost, so heat isn’t an issue at all), and an old wireless kb/trackpad for a ‘remote’.
storage is a hodgepodge of usb hdd, 2.5in hdd, and desktop systems. usually only one of which is being used (powered on) at a time.
i just use a text dump out of ‘everything’ for my ‘catalog’ and have numerous vlc playlists saved. i looked into things like jellyfin but the work involved in normalizing directory structures and filenames would be nightmarish.
well, duh.
can’t be having anyone find the backdoors and shit that old spice and his minions have been putting in, or the traffic from who-knows-where accessing them, the data going out, the changes being made, the money disappearing…
someone that works at a local bank was at the grocery store yesterday when we were there. back by the dairy and such. this was overheard:
“hey look, they got a loan officer for the eggs”
ban science, and ban talking to scientists elsewhere. then climate change doesn’t exist here, right? wow, they really fixed that one.
correct.
hell, i could live my ‘best’ life off of musk’s ‘sofa cushion’ money:
$2.5m is more than enough for me to live on just using investment proceeds–in perpetuity.
$2.5m to him (with ~ $436b) is the equivalent of fifty-seven cents to someone with $100k (in the bank, investments, retirement, home equity, etc). now, i don’t have $100k, not even close. just using it as an example here. my equivalent would be more like half a cent.
most of that ‘hundreds of billions’ isn’t going to go towards the tech or infrastructure, it’s gonna go to people. a very small number of specific individuals.
i don’t have one. i don’t want one, either.
