Better than a “John” of a… uhm… particular trade.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Meh, I’m honestly surprised this is just now happening. “Never trust work-supplied devices for anything personal or unprofessional” seems a pretty basic rule.


There’s a parts list on the YT description.


Watch Apple TV’s new show Plur1bus for an idea along those lines.


Do the Borg actually shit, tho? I’m only a casual Trekkie, but I don’t recall them addressing that issue…
(And just to be clear - yes, I know what MP line you’re referencing.)


She IS every drone’s horniness.


It’s also one that’s only going to have 30 made, according to the article. Most of those are likely to only wind up sitting in billionaires’ garages for bragging rights. People do stupid shit for the chance to brag about it, and this company is talking advantage of that to gain in multiple ways: financial, reputation, experience, etc.


You’re assuming humans will be in control. We already have self-driving cars that are working well enough to expand into several additional markets, so surely combining that with vehicles that can get people where they want to be significantly faster can’t be all that far behind.


That’s only if the cheaper prices are legitimately possible while still bringing in a profit that’s worth mentioning. It’s well known that the Chinese government subsidizes a LOT of their companies, presumably hoping to put the established order out of business.


Should be, but there’s always some Tim the Toolman type out there demanding “MOAR POWER!”


Well, it’s certainly an interesting method of self-promotion to those that bother caring enough to read that part. If it is a malware host, then those reading that far are also probably more conscious of the possibility of it being such so I’m not sure how effective it’d actually be.
Of course you being the one pointing it out could be considered sus…
🤪
Good luck getting @dinafor2 to understand that.


I agree this article is more marketing fluff with few details, but the application is obviously meant for more short-range work. Think running containers from the shipping ports or railways to warehouse distribution centers. This obviously doesn’t cover long-haul, but supporting short-haul will eventually build much of the necessary infrastructure required to support long-haul as well.
Doesn’t the tortoise always win that one, too?


There have been Doom ports on Android forever, that’s not even trying. (Running it well is likely another matter entirely, however.)


Yeah, but once you’ve gone there you can never go back…


Obligatory “that’s what she said!”
