In other words, the internet-of-things was a really shitty idea.
Weird that now the EU has a pressing need to re-industrialize all of a sudden these stories are popping up. Without much evidence to support them.
Show me the teardown of the hardware, please. Until a story is posted with specifics, this is hearsay.
It's also worth noting that proper sourcing, production standards and chain of custody processes for critical infrastructure are the reason for the oft-ridiculed 50-dollar-screw in the US military.
He's too busy working out how to do more for his real constituency: israel.
my organization rto'd very early on after the pandemic, and promptly lost 40% of their staff who retired. It's an old place, demographically. I can guarantee that everyone forced back in was refusing (and continues to refuse) to buy anything for lunch and brown-bags out of spite, especially given some dummies were stupid enough to claim that as the reason. Lots of eateries continuing to shut down in the area, and you know what? nobody cares. In attempting to "save" something, they've practically guaranteed its demise by pissing off an entire generation.
because the state and fed levels are corrupt as hell. the local level seemed more amenable, although i suspect the nyc mayoral elections will be thoroughly fiddled.
I love a lady who enjoys pulling rank.
The same author did another similar novel called Thin Air, which you might like - it maintains that tech noir theming.
The first season does the detective noir thing pretty well, and doesn't deviate too far from the novel. They tried rolling the second book (Broken Angels) and the third book (Woken Furies) into one season, it didn't work out at all.
Now I want to make an ai slop Altered Carson poster.
There's so many great book series out there. Ian Banks' Culture Series, Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Ruin series, could re-do Altered Carbon properly and base it on the second book more faithfully; which was actually quite interesting. Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space series. Terry Pratchett's last contribution in The Long Earth series. What happened to the supposed adaptation of Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars series? Neal Asher's Polity series. Dan Simmon's Hyperion, anyone? And that's just a small fraction of more modern SciFi.
None of these series really get a look in because we're still busy repeating the same formula ad nauseam until the fan base literally can't take ingesting another two hours of recycled dross.
Let's try something new.
someone tell that to the kripsy gnome, or whatever her name is..and the trump administration..
I do get a bit of ringing in my ear after a while though.
