Because otherwise the superpowers have zero incentive to participate at all.

Mozilla had the same problem with h.264 until Cisco allowed them to use openh264 and ate any associated licensing costs. Just from a cursory glance, HEVC licensing seems much more of a clusterfuck.

It’ll work without a valid provider or without a SIM at all. As long as it has battery and can pick up any network’s signal.

Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish.

The key difference is its sorted by an algorithm designed to increase your engagement and view duration. And quite often the easiest way to do that is by generating negative emotional responses, etc

It doesn’t even involve drug smuggling. Like organized crime in the US, they’ve branched out into racketeering and extortion in otherwise legitimate industries. Tortillerias are also major targets of extortion rackets now in Mexico.

You could schedule it with cron. You usually don’t need to update the lists very often though, and you don’t want to either as you’re just wasting the bandwidth of the hosts of the lists, who aren’t making any money off hosting them.

I think it was something to do with the Fi-specific syncing of messages to the web version.

And yet Google still hasn’t rolled out RCS for Google Voice, and last I checked there was an issue with it and Google Fi as well. (It works but it precludes some advertised feature of Fi or something.)

I don’t even care if it’s opt-in. I don’t want dormant malware on my PC either.

To be clear. I actually like Windows 11. I don’t care about the general telemetry, though I disabled the typing data crap. Most of the things in the last few months about ads in Windows, about blocking apps, etc have been overblown and aren’t actually big problems in isolation. Even this is a little overblown right now as it requires an NPU which the vast majority of systems don’t have. But, this is just so tone-deaf and an obviously terrible idea that it needs to be put down hard.

I mean, technically Windows Hello also includes signing in with a PIN or passkey. It doesn’t require biometrics, although it does support them.

IIRC these organoids also die after somewhere around 100 days of hypoxia, because they have yet to be able to construct a proper circulatory system for them.

They had integrated the L2 on-die before that already with the Pentium Pro on Socket 8. IIRC the problem was the yields were exceptionally low on those Pentium Pros and it was specifically the cache failing. So every chip that had bad cache they had to discard or bin it as a lower spec part. The slot and SECC form factor allowed them to use separate silicon on a larger node by having the cache still be on-package (the SECC board) instead of on-die.

“… I got better.”

Add glue to your silly strings to weave them into delicious silly rope.

They are lowering the specs for this one version that’s only available to license to Enterprise users because it’s meant for Enterprise level IoT use cases, not as a typical desktop.

If they do it and picket any such shipments I’m expecting a brutal reprisal from the police. That said I applaud those pushing for it.

I mean yes, but that happens to be from 2007.

Plastic shelters and hygiene kits are well and good but how about food and potable water?
