Almost everyone on the left in the US regards CNN as corporate garbage.

I think far left, not left. But even if this were true, it is far from being called “Russian troll”. What do you think in the article that makes it or him “Russian troll”, or even “corporate garbage”?

I do not understand this joke. Is it about “time is relative”?

You misspelled Unix.

I kind of understand them, because if you listen Fox News, you will learn about Soviet style prosecution, about how judge manipulated court. “Expert” after “expert” say that it is political hunting, etc. It is easy to manipulate those with single source of news and views.

That’s because the state is essentially responsible for house safety- there are many codes the buildings have to satisfy. Not everything is regulated like that. There are no many codes (if at all) associated with chargers, and charger safety is responsibility of a company making the charger. So at least I can see some logic here. But with low power devices like console the risk is very low to have someone electrocuted because incorrect low voltage (compared to what car is using to charge) card is installed. Maybe there is a risk of fire?

No, it has to be certified (by state?) electrician.

Which one? With the tail?

I don’t know. Could still be safety concerns? In many districts/counties you can’t even change a light-switch yourself.

I understand exception of medical devices where manufacturers carry huge responsibility if something goes wrong. But consoles???

They are really left leaning, not balanced, and it shows in their opinions, but also in news selection. Since fediverse is also left or even significantly left leaning, it gets shared a lot here.

This is horrible article. The only number given related to LLM is 700,000 liters of water used, which is honestly minuscule in impact on environment. And then there are speculations of “what if water used in aria where there is no water”. It is on the level of “if cats had wings, why don’t they fly”.

Everything we do in modern would consumes energy. Air conditioners, public transport, watching TV, getting food, making elections… exactly the same article (without numbers and with lots of hand waving) could have written. “What if we start having elections in Sahara? Think about all the scorpions we disturb!”

Yes, but this is agreed in advance, not “I am late, let me call”

From the cannon…

The relative costs of computers, consoles and games themselves is significantly lower today than in the eighties.

I think 20% is too generous.

I had never been in court, but would assume that when you are called to appear into court, you are not given zoom link just in case. Right?

True

And I personally agree with that with one caveat not to be a president, but to be electable. While he was popular on the left, I think he would not pull independence/centrist and would lose election.

Sure, but nothing compares with WW2 and many wars triggered by the Cold War.

It is not all that bad. Wealth creation needs peace, rule of law and happy to spend consumers. I would be more afraid some ideological guy leading country towards what his ideology says it must be.
