I agree, if your company pay you that sort of money and rake in huge profits I suggest you get down the job centre and find something that pays better.

what a stupid attitude. you've obviously never had to struggle in your life, too bad, because it might have made you a more compassionate person.

Don't make assumtptions about what I have and have not done.

I have lived on the streets, I have been homeless, I have worked cleaning factory floors to get me through education, I have lost my home due to being layed off a few years ago and struggled to do crap paid jobs till I found a better paid rather than keeling over and living on benefits.

I won't go into the rest of the crap I have been through in my near 37 years of life, so once again take it back.

First of all, this is not a personal conversation between me and you and there is nothing to "take back". I think your attitude sucks, and I didnt' direct my comments at you personally, just your attitude. And don't pm me anymore, please.

Not everyone is like you, public welfare/assistance IS needed for certain individuals, it would be nice to believe everyone can just suck it up and get "a job" but this is not possible for society (although it should be encouraged of course.)

So you still have to deal with those individuals who make 2 bucks an hour and tips and can't get a better job, by helping them out and tipping them. And you even should try to help those who cannot be employed period. This requires social welfare programs you rail against, or people giving out of the goodness of their hearts (fat chance of that)

Not to hijack this thread with this, but I'm not saying the programs we have now are perfect. They certainly need to be overhauled, but not completely removed (like the US wants to do) However, that is a discussion for a different thread.

Pubs/Bars: Never and don't see why I should

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
