The Pistons are screwed. You want to know why?

The officials in the Lakers-Timberwolves series called it close. There were a lot of cheapy foul calls for both sides. In the Pistons-Pacers series, the officials let them play physical defense and called obvious fouls.

What does this mean?

Well, the Pistons will be used to the physical play and try to muscle up the Lakers on defense. The Lakers aren't physical...they're pansies. I'm willing to bet the house that the officiating in the Finals will be called closely, giving the Lakers an advantage. So, when Karl "WWF" Malone starts flopping around, Derek Fisher flies 5 rows deep in the stands because he got breathed on, or Kobe Bryant takes 5 steps off the dribble, look to see if the Pistons get any of those calls.

I hope to God the Pistons win, I'm so sick of the Lakers and their stupid little side-stories (Malone & Payton, Kobe's trial, etc.). But, the NBA has gone the way of the WWF. You think the Pistons of 1989 could get away with the "Jordan Rules" in 2004? Hell no. And that's exactly how the Pistons could win this series..."The Kobe Rules".

Im going to have to say the Lakers are screwed.

Lakers powerhouse comes from Shaq and Bryant. What happens when Shaq goes up against two magnificant defensive players in Ben wallace and Rasheed Wallace? Also what happens when Kobe finds himself trying to control the hottest player in basketball in Rick Hamilton> the fact is Payton and Malone are getting older and arent capable of producing 30 point games as frequent anymore.

The pistons are red-hot off theie series with Indiana and have the advantage in my mind.

lakers go owned lastnight.

damn, and to think. if they didnt win game 2, the pistons could be going for the kill on sunday.

and the critics were saying the pistons would get swept by the lakers. HA.

the pistons totally couldve won that game, they were just too confident going into OT, but it doesnt matter, theyve obviously learned their lesson. Theyve beat the lakers by 12 and 20, whereas the lakers only squeezed out a win in OT... heres a basic inequality i came up with that might help those slow on the uptake to figure out whos gonna win the 2004 championship:

Pistons > Lakers

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
