Saruman definitely seems like the kind to use AI.

A device with no moving parts, only 5 years of expected life?!
I understand if you say that high-performance users will want a newer system after 5 years, but I'd be very surprised if this 64GB RAM machine doesn't suffice for 98% of people, including those who want to play then-common games at default settings
Good to have some concrete figures nonetheless of course, it's always useful as a starting point
Apple only promises to support devices for 5 years.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772
They do sometimes end up supporting devices for longer than this, but you can't rely on it.
It was only a matter of time!

Do people really believe that knowledge from more than 30 months ago has no value? Even the people doing keyword searches on resumes are smarter than that.
Grok, what was Stack Exchange?

$5 million is pocket change.
No, it's Pocket change. Which could be better spent on the CEO's salary!

I'm not convinced.
The GDPR can absolutely be applied to foreign companies https://gdpr.eu/companies-outside-of-europe/ but even if it couldn't, Facebook is an Irish company specifically so they can avoid American taxes. I do not think the EU will have any problem with jurisdiction.
Your own link says that the GDPR applies when companies "offer goods or services" to people in the EU. That's why a lot of websites block the EU.

> We realize this may come as a shock and disappointment to our contributors but we simply do not have the expertise or resources within the organization to continue to maintain this project.
Resources ... Okay. What truly comes as a shock is the fact that Microsoft says they don't have expertise to continue this project. I mean, who is building Windows then? It's the same building blocks, no?!

I'm pretty sure what they think is "we can loudly complain EU over-regulation is stifling innovation and try and get the public on-board by showing them everything they're missing".
They don't want to be sued in the EU for releasing a model. One way to do that is by not releasing it in Europe.
It's the same reason a lot of websites block the EU rather than risk being sued under the GDPR.
