knowing the small number of companies that have access to the computer power to actually do a training with that data

Not every company will be training a model as big as the big names, but combined that’s a hell of a lot.

Does it matter what the purpose was? It was still causing them issues hosting their site.

Should, not must. Like the highway code should rules and must rules.

I just use nextdns to be honest because I’m lazy.

It’s 2025 and you’ve got an android, why on earth aren’t you using a Dns that does as blocking?

America seems to be a bit crazy.

Pretty sure 0%-10% is standard in the UK. Though a lot of those cheeky service charges are around 12.5

Na, Instagram and YouTube have short form videos now.

You missed the “and” in the comment you were replying to. They can do fsd or they could do cheap. Not both. Though, to be honest I doubt they can do either.

Why would you use Google photos as your gallery if you’re not using the backup feature? It’s like the only reason to use it over a different gallery.

As others have pointed out, 40 year tech still beat current tech.

Ent and lower decks often get skipped, everything else occasionally.

Prodigy, never. That theme is up there with Voy and DS9.

You’re going to fall foul of anti money laundering checks very hard and fast. There’s no way you’d be able to buy property, let alone in a month.

Hey, Prodigy is great. Of course they tried to cancel it.

You Europeans are something else, man.

Lol because we expect companies to pay people properly rather than expecting customers to top it up.

Tipping is immoral as it allows companies to underpay. Tipping is anti free market as companies should be competing for staff through their remuneration packages.

The thing I’ve never understood about tipping culture in general and especially the American culture around it is why some low paid staff get it and some don’t.

Why do you tip your food delivery driver and not the guy delivering your Amazon package?

Why do you tip your wait staff, but not your supermarket checkout assistant?

It’s double what’s standard to tip for good service.

Tipping is just another way for the corporations to reduce the overhead by having the customer pay the wages of the employee directly, reducing both the budget for salaries and also the reducing ancillary expenses like unemployment insurance and employer wage withholding, occupational privilege tax, etc.

It also makes these jobs falsely competitive against other “unskilled” jobs where tipping isn’t the norm.

I thought yanks were all for the free market, tipping is the oppositeness to this as it negates the free market whereby companies complete with wages and benefits for staff.

So, you’re supporting the unfair system.

Only because you live in a country where they don’t pay people properly.

You yanks are crazy with your attitude to pay.
