Ha. Ha. Ha.

EverWind Fuels will build and own the facility, while Anthropic will lease the first phase for a term of at least 20 years.

Anthropic won’t be here in 20 years.

I knew this would happen. Some people will celebrate this. Bad bad news…

Yes. No discussion about it. I don’t live in Canada anymore, but public pools here have never let you bring anything like that with you — like cameras or phones.

I would suggest that all the pools agree on this or they’ll end up putting a “speedo” rule in place to prevent people from sneaking in recording devices.

Cool. But, which repair centre has the contract for bricked phones. In Europe only one place has the vendor key thing if you fuck up while flashing the device, they won’t let users or other repair places have it so I assume it works the same in the US.

If I needed a new phone, I might get one of these. Repairable phones are cool.

Spoke too soon. Two spam calls this morning.

I’m very pleased and have been waiting years for this. The way I understand it is that they’re making marketing calls explicitly opt-in, and easy to opt-out of. The non-stop calls from marketing agents stopped on July 27 for me.

There was also another change about hidden numbers that happened not too long ago which reduced the number of calls by one or two per day.

There is a list of numbers depending on your region that were registered marketing numbers. I had a filter for those, but I don’t think I’ll need it anymore. Any number starting with 0162, 0163, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 0948 or 0949 was spam so it was easy to filter.

The punishment will be interesting to see. There are plenty of ways to report spam. Back in 2007 they said the French would never stop smoking in public places, and they did and a few people got fined for testing what would happen. Same thing will happen with this.

Edit: it is $87,000 per call. Damn.
