I'm pretty sure some English speakers say "electric shower"; IIRC, I encountered it in UK English a year or two ago.

I assumed Linux. But Linux is what I use, and even if you could find a Linux tablet with stylus support, it's such a small niche that I'd expect the Linux distros wouldn't reliably keep the drivers around from one version to the next. Not something to use for work.

I believe the White House switchboard is 202-456-1414.
But I learned that from Doonesbury, which this guy probably doesn't read.

Mine was some giant ape movie, shown on local TV. It was heavily marketed for weeks beforehand, including giving out free red-and-blue paper glasses at gas stations and such. On the day, it turned out the 3D was so bad it gave you less of a headache to just take the glasses off.

I don't want one because I've known people whose pipes froze when their smart thermostat stopped working in the middle of winter. Apparently the Silicon Valley people who make them think of a thermostat as a comfort device; they don't understand that, in most places, heat is a survival necessity.

Yeah, but those things aren't generative AI; they can be done with basic machine learning. No need to boil the oceans for that.

About 5-7 years ago, I heard about this company. They were using machine learning (not generative AI) to optimize the reactor. I wouldn't be surprised if they're still doing that, but calling it AI to sound better to investors.
