Slow cooker pork curry recipe
This is a wonderful slow cooker meal. It's cooked all-in-one: there's no need to make separate sides afterwards! Definitely worthwhile for when you know you won't have time to cook after work

Pick an awesome gamer name
It can be a challenge to come up with a cool gamer username that isn't already taken. Here is a gaming username generator with awesome names that are just a little bit off the beaten path (but still great!) so they're less likely to already be taken. Don't spend forever thinking up a name - try this generator instead

Wow thx! A very interesting article with some very big ramifications. I am shocked how peer reviewers in the field did not pick up on this before this student's research

The irony of this is mind-boggling. Content creators are having their IP stolen by AI companies, whose IP is, in turn, being stolen by China and cybercriminals

The self-driving feature is NOT self-driving! if you need a human behind the wheel to monitor the car's autopilot, it's safer just to have the human drive. There is literally no advantage to have a self driving car (as far as Tesla's current tech is concerned) since it means the human's attention is likely to wander, putting themselves and everyone else in danger. In fact, I'm wondering if it just makes driving MORE dangerous. I prefer to avoid being near Teslas on the road for exactly this reason.

Completely agree, Reddit is shooting themselves in the foot. If they ban moderators who don't comply, then Reddit will be without moderators for those topics, which is more of a problem for Reddit than for these unpaid moderators.

If it's too hard for them to list the fees then they shouldn't charge them. That's not FCC's problem, that's Comcast's problem. Basically, it should be that if any company can't list the fees, they shouldn't be allowed to charge them. I understand fees may vary by region, but in that case they should be able to do something like: Fee X: $2 - $5, Fee Y: $8 to $15, etc, and they can give a grand total e.g. Total fees = $... to $....
Again, not the consumer's problem nor FCC's problem.

Email providers have a vested interest in trying to develop additional filters for this (a difficult task, I know, esp for personalized AI spam). Any provider who develops a halfway decent filter will have an edge over those who don't. Ppl will gradually move away from those who don't have such a filter

This was a well-researched and informative article. I'd never thought about the difficulties of patching something so remote before!

The article did not really explain how this differs from The Sims. I'm actually serious, I read the article and it literally doesn't explain how they differ.

Montana's bill goes farther than bans in nearly half of the states that target devices on state-issued devices. Instead, Montana's legislation makes it illegal for anyone to download TikTok.
