That's exactly what this is.

Give me a viable other option, please! Biden is soggy, cold oatmeal from 4 days ago that's probably still fine. Trump is medical waste mixed with gasoline and uranium powder.

This is exactly why the "defund the police" movement is so popular.

Traffic cops do not need to be armed.

Right?!

The solution to this problem isn't just "within your reach" IT'S IN YOUR FUCKING HAND!!!!

I don't understand the bow tie thing, that just seems petty. Why would they fire them?

This kind of "single device that replaced an entire backpack of stuff" is why there are no computers in the Dune universe.

They would make the plots too easy to resolve.

AOL was fined some small amount for this exact thing.

I wish the left had 1% of the power the Christian right weirdos think we do.

Which is exactly why I dislike the fact that nvme happened.

The world had finally standardized on one physical size of hard drive, 2.5 inch sata. You could tell your technophobic aunt to just go buy one of these and it'll work.

Why doesn't more stuff have molle built in?

Isn't the concept of kernel live-patching just "wait until the kernel's not using that module, and slip in anupdatesd version"

I know this isn't the point, but I thought ammo was much cheaper than that.

That makes perfect sense. That's not even really a secret. Did you actually think they'd lend someone hundreds of thousands of dollars, and not background check them?

That's what you get when your key space is too small for the problem you're trying to solve.

I remember a Defcon talk I saw on YouTube where the guy said "remember everything is either broken or using default credentials"

I read an article once where the Google committee thing actually drove a graphic designer into a mental breakdown.

Supposedly they spent 4 hours arguing between a three and a four pixel line of blue, in the google logo redesign.

Can we agree religious zealotry isn't helping?

I'll give apple this one thing.

They are really, really good at backup.

I recently had to wipe my dad's iPhone, I manually backed up his pictures just to make absolutely certain they were all saved but everything else I didn't even bother.

I logged him back into his apple account and everything immediately started downloading again.

With Google, you'll get your text messages. Your contacts, your pictures, your videos. Maybe your YouTube history and subscriptions but any random app probably uses Google backup services but it might not.

For a sense of scale the entire Atari 2600 Library could fit on a floppy multiple times over.

The increasing spread of cheap good technology isn't really about the new hotness coming out it's about last decade stuff finally becoming affordable.

With Time Warner you don't even have to do that you can just call up and ask, they'll probably give you the discount. They absolutely do not care.

Aurora store is basically anonymous access to the official Google Play store.

You can download any app because unlike the Google Play store Aurora doesn't send your phones hardware ID, so if for example your phone is rooted you can get the Disney Plus app anyway.

Fdroid is an alternate app store. They have different things than the Google Play store. They respect your privacy and will let you download any app that is ever been uploaded to them, Even old versions of an app.

The one issue I have with graphene is the incredibly broken backup, but they know that and are working on replacing it.

Other than that, rock solid.

Here's an extremely depressing answer. The mentality is broken

Don't give DeSatan any ideas.

Amazon makes something like 80% of their profit off of Amazon web services. They have no reason to give the tiniest crap about any physical product they will ever sell ever again.

A technical question regarding federation:

Why not leave it up to the individual users to federate with an instance or not?

So everything is accessible from everywhere else, but little subgroups form over time. When trolls find a space, those groups can block them out.

The family computer had a 40 gig hard drive until about 2008.

There is also that thing I've recently been hearing about where Republicans in various states are just refusing to do their jobs at all.

Completely paralyzing government.

You shouldn't be able to do that.

I can't stand dock shenanigans, I just froze it to never hide except with full screen video.

Yeah, I reflexively double quote every path. It's still stupid though.

This is great and all, but yeah. This is "yay, the world is very slightly less crappy."

My dad got tired of struggling so he just told me the future proof a build.

He said "Max out everything" So I did.

128gb ddr4 ram, ryzen 5600 4.6ghz 12 core hyperthreaded CPU, nvidia 2080. (He wouldn't let me get the 40x card)
