Who you gonna call?
Kinda looks like antifreeze?
Why do Xenomorphs drool so much?
It will introduce NFT functionality? WTF does that even mean??
All I know is that seeing the images of the good old Winamp I remember makes my heart hurt. I just want that back. Why havenāt any other media players managed to catch up to what Winamp was 10 years ago?
Iāve been living like a caveman for the last month with a metered internet connection, so Iāve basically been listening to NPR on a real radio and the soundtracks for Divinity Original Sin 2 and Baldurās Gate 3, because those are what I have on my computer. Iāve been using VLC. Itās not a great replacement for Winamp, but itās ok. Yesterday I tried ReSonic, which has an overly cumbersome UI and is still working on implementing playlists. Playlists! Come on!
Honestly, Iād be fine with VLC if it would just remember the two darned folders that I load every time I open the player, and also had a āstop after currentā button. But thatās too much to ask for, I guess. Winamp, in addition to whooping the llamaās ass, apparently still has me whooped.
That theyāre late to the party. Itās all about AI this season, darling.
Exactly a decade ago, Amazon revealed a program that aimed to revolutionize shopping and shipping. Drones launched from a central hub would waft through the skies delivering just about everything anyone could need. They would be fast, innovative, ubiquitous ā all the Amazon hallmarks.
ā¦
Dominique Lord and Leah Silverman live in College Stationās drone zone. They are Amazon fans and place regular orders for ground delivery. Drones are another matter, even if the service is free for Amazon Prime members. While itās cool to have stuff literally land on your driveway, at least the first few times, there are many hurdles to getting stuff this way.
Only one item can be delivered at a time. It canāt weigh over five pounds. It canāt be too big. It canāt be something breakable, since the drone drops it from 12 feet. The drones canāt fly when it is too hot or too windy or too rainy.
You need to be home to put out the landing target and to make sure that a porch pirate doesnāt make off with your item or that it doesnāt roll into the street (which happened once to Mr. Lord and Ms. Silverman). But your car canāt be in the driveway. Letting the drone land in the backyard would avoid some of these problems, but not if there are trees.
Amazon has also warned customers that drone delivery is unavailable during periods of high demand for drone delivery.
What about the family pet exploring the landing target?
Iām sure AI will handle that just fine!
Just the brain?
