The nine-person jury found that Musk waited too long to file his lawsuit and missed the deadline for the statute of limitations.
Why did there even need to be a trial? Couldn’t the statue of limitations have been applied before it got that far?
When I was in the market for one a few years ago, an internal drive and a USB enclosure was a safer bet for making backups than a USB drive. It’s usually not too hard to find out the recommended drives for the backup software.
If the US had a federally controlled payment processor they’d just end up with Republicans trying to limit what it could be used for. No porn, no abortions, etc.
You left out one important piece of the Timeless Child plotline: Time Lords were supposed to have a limited number of regenerations, and the writers kept having to find excuses for the Doctor to go past the limit, but the Timeless Child plotline made it so the Time Lords have the limit because they got the regeneration ability from the Doctor, while the Doctor has the ability naturally and has no limit on regenerations. Makes it much easier to keep changing actors, which was probably the point of the whole thing.
For those who really like the idea of blocking the sites on that list, the linked github repo also has it formatted for pihole and the like.
No, it’s still on them.
The voters who initially challenged Louisiana’s map asked the justices last week to speed up the usual 32-day period between when a ruling is announced and when the Supreme Court clerk formally passes the decision down to a lower court. They wrote that “time is … of the essence” with this year’s elections approaching quickly, and said the issue needs to be returned to the district court so it can “oversee an orderly process” to fix Louisiana’s maps.
On Monday, the high court granted that request, writing that the court’s typical 32-day wait period is “subject to adjustment” by the justices.
The court broke with the normal timeline to let Louisiana hurry up and do its thing. When, again, December was too close to the election to do anything about Texas’s unconstitutional map.
Blender harvesting data to train gen AI would blow up in their faces so badly Anthropic would have had to donate a lot of money to make it worthwhile. And have you looked at the list of Development Fund members? Meta, Google and Adobe are already on there. I’m not sure that taking money from one more company that would be interested in that data really tips the scales.
From Blender’s post:
After an in-depth discussion with the team and several community contributors, we have decided to receive the funds as a singular donation instead of a Development Fund membership, similar to how other open source organizations have handled such contributions. Anthropic has been informed and supports this decision.
To use your metaphor, it sounds like they took the money as one-time gift instead of ongoing rent payments.
As far as generative AI:
Most importantly, we need to urgently tackle the topic and clearly define how Blender is positioned in regards to generative AI technologies when it comes to the product, software development, documentation, and other activities. Discussions will happen in the public blender.org channels, based on drafts by the Blender team.
Blender is a tool for artists and creators, it’s made by humans for humans. No generative AI functionality is currently available or planned to be integrated in Blender.
And with Artist Profile Protection (currently in beta), artists now have greater control over what appears on their profile, which helps to ensure the music you see is coming from them.
From the Artist Profile Protection link:
Music has been landing on the wrong artist pages across streaming services, and the rise of easy-to-produce AI tracks has made the problem worse. That’s not the experience we want artists to have on Spotify, and that’s why we’ve made protecting artist identity a top priority for 2026. Today, we’re announcing a first-of-its-kind solution to a problem that’s affected streaming for years.
How the hell is that something that is only in beta in 2026 and not a standard feature? It’s currently optional, but they better automatically opt in verified “No AI” artists if the label is going to be worth anything. There should not be AI-generated songs from randos getting attached to a “No AI” artist.
Google’s bound to do more layoffs, and any employee backlash to anything is mostly going to help management make up the list.
There’s a whole lot of Canada south of the tundra. We don’t need to make the north “useful” at the expense of the rest of the country.
Russia is banned because of its invasion of Ukraine. Not banning Israel for similar actions is political.
Obviously Israel talked him into the war and told him to deny it.
This is especially handy on immutable Linux distros like Bazzite in cases where your provider’s client is only officially available as a .deb or .rpm and you don’t want to get in to layering.
“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” said Trump, who is strongly opposed to the idea of Iran charging ships a toll to pass through the strait.
“I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas,” he said.
Pretty sure what Trump is opposed to is him not getting a cut of the toll.
The Daily Show did a segment on him a couple months ago.
If anything it should be a joint venture between Iran and Oman, the country on the other side of the strait that’s mostly getting ignored in all this.
Israel: We’re not included in the ceasefire
Iran: You sure about that?
And yet somehow the part where there are active MLB players who share names with Cold Play’s lead singer and Carlos Santana is not wrong.
The people who use “plummet” to describe a 1% drop.
