Hi, @Lowes - Just bought the microwave below. Can't get response from Toshiba about clock display. Disappointing that you sell products manufacturers don't support.
Hi, @ToshibaUSA - I would appreciate a response before I go out and buy an electric clock so I can see the time in my kitchen since the microwave won't show it.

Hi, @ToshibaUSA. Just bought microwave ML-EM32PA(SS). Clock display shuts off after 2 mins. I read manual to turn off Eco Mode. Doesn't work. Annoying. I want time displaying always.

I have been saying for YEARS that Google is highly unethical. I stopped using any of their sites about a decade ago. And if you email me from your gmail account, it doesn't reach me. I set up a block on my @EarthLink account.

Google’s defence against musicians’ lawsuit is doubly sickening.
First, they say the musicians have no evidence Google trained on their videos. But that is because Google refuses to reveal its training data! (Sir Demis blocked me for asking what they train on.)
Second, they say YouTube’s Ts & Cs give them the right to train on people’s videos anyway. But it is career suicide for a musician not to use YouTube. This is a huge abuse of Google’s market power.
Google is trying to punish musicians for its own lack of transparency, and arguing that it has rights no musician intended to give it.

Hi, @ToshibaUSA - how do I keep the clock displaying? It keeps turning off after 2 mins. Nothing in owner manual to solve this.

Back to my #devedit. MS is around 314k right now. I'm reviewing every aspect and deciding if any of it can be cut or reduced. Tough job. #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity

Same goes for authors, photographers, filmmakers, etc.

Suno - a company that trained on "essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open Internet", and argues it does not need to pay to do so - is now valued at $5.4 billion.
They will pay for GPUs, and for engineers, but not, apparently, for the music they use - other people's music - without which their models would not work.
I know lots of musicians who will be upset. I am with them.

It's autumn heading into winter in the southern hemisphere. How about a couple of cozy romances?

Very sad. We authors struggle. Self-publishing was supposed to open things up for us. It did to a point. But all the while, we were just generating fodder for the AI beast (and a Russian pirate site).

🚨 THIS IS THE ENTIRE AI INDUSTRY'S NIGHTMARE IN ONE QUOTE.
An author suing OpenAI says AI companies didn't just buy books.
They allegedly downloaded them from pirate sites.
Then, according to his claim, stripped away copyright pages and ISBN information before feeding the material into AI models.
