Imagine witholding a medicine from a sick person, telling them it’s the world that’s broken. That’s some Mother Teresa level evil.

Sometimes the victims even pay the attackers money upfront and install the wiretap themselves. looking at my IPTV box suspiciously, while the robotic vacuum hums in the background

The best thieves steal from the poor.

Can’t wait for the first pair of twins to sue each other.

I can see the headlines… “Tesla. De-funding the police!”

ride them around for fun

Imagine the horror!

No-one knows chicken like chickens!

Games are easy to start, even with low motivation.

I feel like I spend more time keeping the thing in working order, filling up forms, entering 2fa codes, clicking on verification emails, realizing the driver has updated, so the workflows that has been working before are now broken, but some that were broken are working again… and by that point I don’t even want to play.

Crazy crowdfunding idea - what if we bought the whole thing and individually requested delisting for everyone?

Wasn’t microsoft the only phone manufacturer to ship a standard uefi on their devices? I mean before they eventually scraped what was left off of nokia.

Most low cost phone resellers have no idea what software is even running on their phones. They just compile some samples from the manufacturers SDK, slap their own logo on top and ship it.

I’m positively surprised it’s supposed to come out with android 15. Barely one major version behind.

Asahi linux already ships a VM to run steam on macbooks. And the VM is not even doing the heavy lifting. They do cpu instruction translation on the go, the VM is there just to solve some memory allocation quirks.

Proxmox is based on Debian, but its installer does not offer you as many options as the base Debian installer. People figured out you can just install debian with your prefered settings and then just slap the proxmox packages on top.

Someone already tried.

A television commercial for the loyalty program displayed the commercial’s protagonist flying to school in a McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II vertical take off jet aircraft, valued at $37.4 million at the time, which could be redeemed for 7,000,000 Pepsi Points. The plaintiff, John Leonard, discovered these could be directly purchased from Pepsi at 10¢ per point. Leonard delivered a check for $700,008.50 to PepsiCo, attempting to purchase the jet.

Running the so-called AI workloads on the edge is what we want. Especially if the alternative is to run them on google servers.

There is currently no alternative to android. Every alternative is both less secure and less usable.

like the desktop icons, the minimize button, the ability to adjust fonts, change themes, right click menu icons, systray…

Nomophobia

There is a religious figure in the sacred texts of the AllatRa cult, called Nomo. In this context, nomophopbia would be a good thing. Especially once you find out whom in the real world he’s supposed to represent.

People believed the weirdest things, like walking with a twig would help you find water pipes

Not only they still do, it’s thought in schools and practiced by the water utility professionals in the field.

They’ve charged me a hundred bucks for their expertise, to which I’ve composed an angry email, asking whether the ministry of magic would be willing to cover the damage if we, somehow, despite their findings, manage to find the pipe where it’s not supposed to be, with the front part of the excavator. They advised us to dig carefully, not addressing the magic ritual part at all.
