16 is definitely extreme, but having gone to war with YouTube’s junk to small kids and finding out there’s no preventing them falling down some junk rabbit hole, I’m pretty cool with it up to about 12.

Good to know. Thanks.

Judging from their guide there is a bunch of criteria, many which I don’t meet, so I guess I will be seeding freeleeches for a while.

Okay I will start like that. I read the FAQ and it looks like I won’t qualify as an uploader as I’m just short of the upload speeds they need and won’t likely be able to upload many things a month.

Side question, are you constantly managing your ratio or do you think that if I run all my sonarr stuff through the the private tracker and just leave stuff to seed indefinitely that I will be okay?

Now do Trump

This is a new frontier my friend, you have to carve your own path!

Yeah the obvious counter to this is AI job applicants who can play the numbers game, say what the hiring AI wants to hear and get hired enough times and long enough to grab some pay checks. This is already happening. Get the bot swarm ready.

That’s a brutal thing to be tagged with these days.

Microsoft doesn’t expect growth in their OS offerings. These days all their focus is on AI and cloud.

Not if I have anything to say about it. I’m putting a cap at $59.99 for must have AAA titles with tons of replay value. I will wait until they meet me there. Most games don’t meet that standard for me, so most I will be waiting much longer.

A thing of beauty, that one!

Well that sucks.

This is 2 week deadline #4 or #5 for Russia to end the war now? I’m losing track.

Yes that’s true.

And how did the bank decide I was privileged? I don’t keep much money in the account, I’ve overdrawn it many times, I have no record of employment in the US for decades.

Yeah I’ve been watching. They don’t have many out there yet and they are sort of still in beta. I hope they perfect them and massively scale them.

Well okay you’re not wrong, there is always some sucker out there.

I left the USA 25 years ago and still keep a bank account at my parents’ address. Not yet debanked.

Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity… So it’s like a disenbodied fingerprint.

I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That’s a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.
