I guess the solution is to… outsource and centralize even more? Like, make everything dependent on an “AI” company?

I have basically mildly positive feelings about Gemini Nano being available in Chrome. I don't use Chrome, but lots of stuff should be done on-device, not off. That's a win.
If "software shouldn't have features i don't like" is the argument you're actually making, that's not really a good argument. Even when the feature is an LLM model.
"Chrome is getting big and bloated and we can do better” is absolutely a good argument you can make.
And then the real kicker: Google pushing the web platform around through dominance is just the real ick here. It's the same sort of thing monopoly power enables. Companies that own verticals in the economy or a product market can dictate rather than negotiate. This is, in general, bad. Google does this, not because the ideas its employees put forward are good, but because they work out to be in Google's interests. And those interests can run counter to the rest of the world.
That's what we have to push back on.

A Secret Service officer has been arrested for allegedly following a woman at a hotel near the Miami airport, and then masturbating outside of her hotel room. 
Per WSVN’s Sheldon Fox, Officer John A. Spillman was found by Miami-Dade deputies masturbating in a hotel hallway. He had allegedly followed a woman and forced her to retreat into her room, fearing for her safety. 
The US Secret Service told WSVN that Spillman had been in the Miami-Dade area "as part of the security scr…

Das Haus, das wir aktuell bewohnen, soll nächstes Jahr abgerissen werden.
Wir ziehen verfrüht aus, weil es uns umzubringen versucht, und wir was hübsches Neues gefunden haben.
Vermieter will nun, dass wir Nachmieter suchen, oder Mietzins bezahlen.
Wollte ein Inserat schalten für Nachmieter, aber meine Frau lehnt das ab.

Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to determine the explicit existence form and structure of finite-order entire solutions in $\mathbb{C}^n$ of the following system of Fermat-type partial differential-difference equations: \[\begin{cases} \left(\frac{\partial f_1\left(z\right)}{\partial z_1}\right)^{n_1} (f_2 \left(z c\right)-f_1(z) )^{m_1}= 1,
\medskip \left(\frac{\partial f_2\left(z\right)}{\partial z_1}\right)^{n_2} (f_1 \left(z c \right)-f_2(z) )^{m_2}= 1, \end{cases}\]
for different choices of the positive integers $n_1$, $n_2$, $m_1$, and $m_2$, where $c=(c_1,c_2,\ldots,c_n)$. We characterize the precise structure of finite-order transcendental entire solutions and extend the results of Xu et al. \cite{XLL1} from the setting of $\mathbb{C}^2$ to the more general space $\mathbb{C}^m$. In addition, several examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and sharpness of the main results.

Without yet applying power, I have a suspect, and a new quest to find a part only exotic in this century. My hypothesis is when the signal clip on the "overdrive" phono socket came free, it could dangle touching a ground. Unreasonable because there shouldn't be any voltage on input wires, but that dangling clip could have touched anywhere, and falling over in the car (with a thump) likely didn't help.
Now, a new quest for a part not costing more than the part itself. I might have one in a crate of audio junk bits...
Oh and I now have 4 extra 3A 30mm should there be need 😊

Opening a CD or DVD box. Sliding it into the player. Pressing play.
That simple ritual reminds us of something we're losing: the feeling of truly owning what we consume. Not renting access, not relying on servers, just you and your collection.

Quebec hydropower is now flowing to New York City—1.25 GW of clean electricity displacing fossil generation.
Meanwhile, Twelve launched America's first commercial e-jet fuel plant, turning CO2 and renewable power into synthetic jet fuel.
And China brought online a massive solar-battery-hydrogen complex to power industry with renewables.
