Maybe its regional. UK here and any time I see a sign saying a card isn’t accepted it’s always AMEX. By far more common in smaller shops where the fees are going to be more significant to them. Big chains don’t care.

A lot of places here refuse AMEX because of their fees. Oh look at all the benefits they provide, like barely being able to spend money anywhere!

Only in the US. EU has teeth and occasionally uses them.

Oh it may well be true, doesn’t mean they will succeed.

Depends on CPU, would love to have access to hardware like this to play with to see what it runs. But I don’t want to buy it without trying it first.

4GB should be plenty for any general computing. I used to run Minecraft servers on under 1GB of system memory for an entire school classroom. It worked pretty well back then too.

If AI is so good they should try asking it that. See where that ends up.

They will just close up shop or lock things down.

Don’t steal their products. Reject them entirely. Invite friends over and cook at home instead.

The average persons data is. I wonder what mine is worth. Surely it just says “yeah they are never going to willingly buy your product, target friends who will apply social pressure instead … Oh, they are just happy sitting there without ordering anything”

They did this before, its just that they are using “AI” now. Probably not an LLM but it would be funny if it is.

I am also interested in knowing, got a tp link 4G router currently and have been wondering about getting a 5G router sometime. UK so doesnt matter if its banned in the US.

I stopped commenting years ago. Old reddit changes stopped me browsing too.

They may as well have said please use a VPN to save us the cost of a stamp next time

Yeah, luxury cars cost more. Don’t get a luxury EV if cost is a concern.

Doesn’t even have to be Chinese tbh. If you are getting a car, going for ICE is a skill issue and you deserve it.

Dacia spring is like £12k new isn’t it? Where are these ICE cars for £4k.

Poor people can’t afford cars in the first place and yet suffer most from all the negative side effects of cars. I see it where I live, the more deprived areas of town have less than 40% of households owning any cars. The rich side of town mostly have multiple and will be driving through the poor areas. Idling in their SUVs in traffic for ages generally. Ruining air quality for the people who live there.

They can burn their wallet if they like, I’ll enjoy cheaper alternatives.

My bike is cheaper than a single monthly car payment and it’s powered by cheesecake.

The internet will become ID verified to protect the kids or terrorism or what ever other reason they feel like. It won’t solve the problems it is claimed to help. But if you have unauthorized opinions against government backed genocides then you are marked as a terrorist.
