While living in Japan, our kid used a cellphone with 3 buttons.

1. Call mom, 2. Call dad. 3. Call Auntie.

These kid's phones were very common, inexpensive and worked great.

The French can be profoundly petty. This smells like an act of personal / political revenge. Klein has a long standing as one of France's best-known scientists and a gifted popularizer of science. If a crime was committed then it is clearly his thesis committee that should be punished.

Shall we now impute dishonor on all those whose past writing cannot pass an AI examination? Do we start with Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, George Gamow, Michio Kaku, ...?

In any case, we need to hurry. You may not care, but there is some jackass in France who is losing sleep.

Put my tax dollars to better use.

In 2025, BYD manufactured 2.2 million battery electric vehicles.

I only need one.

Indeed!

In order to read their tale about surveillance, Politico tells you to "SIGN IN".

They want you to give them your email, employer's name and your job title.

Is this some kind of joke?

Or are these people actually that stupid?

WordPad was good for this on Windows - maybe too good.

AbiWord looked like it might be similar on Linux, but never kept up.

There is a very light weight, free program called "The Guide" which is also good for notes

https://portableapps.com/apps/office/the_guide_portable

https://theguide.sourceforge.net/

It hasn't been updated for about 8 years, but it doesn't require installation and we have found it very useful.

We need to break this pattern of kinetic weapons.

How about some modern, safe bio-weapons.

This is not a retraction. It is just CYA - Cover your Arse Technica.

They need to enumerate the specific details they fudged.

They need to correct any inaccuracies.

Otherwise, there is little reason to trust Arse Technica in the future.
