    Here's some awful bullshit...

    Police shot Nakala Murry's young son. Now, she could lose custody of her kids.

    WWW.NPR.ORG
    Nakala Murry spoke exclusively to NPR about a petition that references the May 2023 shooting of Aderrien Murry. She said the move "caught her off guard."

     

    Ex-boyfriend shows up one day looking dangerous. Mother tells her eldest to call the police. Police show up before the dude can hurt anyone, proceed to order everyone outside, and then shoots her 11yo son in the chest. Luckily the boy survives a bullet in his lung. She's now suing the city and they've decided she shouldn't have custody of her kids because...reasons? Because the father of one of her kids randomly showed up one day looking to start shit?

     

    As for the cop that shot her kid? No charges and police refuse to release the body cam footage. And people wonder why I've got multiple cameras inside and outside my house.

     

    Her kids get shot by the police when they're in her custody, obviously that means they should be taken away from her for their own safety. 🧠

    A couple of PC parts questions. [edit] Now with setup questions.

    Looks like the Bluetooth problem was that I was using an old USB Bluetooth adapter instead of the mobo Bluetooth--I didn't initially realize it had Bluetooth. Installing the mobo Bluetooth driver did it, I did get some laggy typing initially but I guess the wifi antenna that came with the mobo also works with Bluetooth because putting that on fixed the lag so seems like the lag was just a weak Bluetooth connection.

    I have a question about using my own router with my ISP and I'm not really sure to even start with this one.

    Megabit ethernet ports are just unacceptable, so it's surprising they don't have better equipment available. It's definitely complaint worthy; maybe start a petition in your building.

     

    lol I'm a dummy, I was absolutely convinced the problem was with my ISP's router but it looks like the problem was actually the motherboard on my old computer (mobo was 10 years old) only having megabit. Noticed just now that I was getting my full advertised speed downloading games on Steam over ethernet on the new computer. :lol:

     

    Still not the best router and only WiFi 5, but it moves into good enough territory knowing the ports are actually gigabit.

    Okay finally found a set of instructions that fixed the Xbox app problem. Putting them here for posterity too.

    It seems like an update to the Windows Xbox App or Game Services has broken the app for anyone trying to sign in for the first time. When the Xbox Apps opens it becomes unresponsive, you can't click anything and the only way to close it is via task manager.

    Here's the simple fix:

    1. Open Task Manager and force end the Xbox App
    2. Open Xbox Game Bar (Windows key+ G)
    3. Sign into you're Xbox Account inside of the Xbox Game Bar
    4. Now that you signed in you can once again open the Xbox App and everything should be working. If so, you're all done.

    If you're having issues with Game Services, then follow these steps.

    1. Run Powershell as admin
    2. Copy/Paste this command then press enter to delete Game Services: get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
    3. Then Copy/Pase this command and press enter to reinstall Game Services: start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
    4. If needed repeat the 1st fix.

     

    Now onto fixing the issue with the bluetooth not working until after I've logged in...which I don't think I'm doing until tomorrow at this point.

    Amazon kills “Just Walk Out” shopping tech—it never really worked

    Amazon ends “AI-powered” store checkout, which needed 1,000 video reviewers

    ARSTECHNICA.COM
    "AI" checkout was actually powered by 1,000 human video reviewers in India.

    While the concept was that AI would track which items were purchased , "Walk Out required about 700 human reviews per 1,000 sales".  In essence, purchases were mostly tracked by workers watching you on cameras in India.

     

    It wasn't a mechanical Turk situation, they were using a lot of human training.
