Best feature windows 3.1 has:

Can't wait till we find out that the arbitration agreement they forced on people was penned up shortly after they discovered the breach.

It's been echod several times in this thread already but:

Wireless and security are oil and water. They do not mix. This goes byond wifi. If your security system has wireless sensors (door, window, motion) - you aren't secure. Please do not buy smart locks.

Wireless cameras are not security - they are a convenience. A convenience for checking on the kids in the back or seeing if that package got delivered.

If it's not wired and powered it is at best a scarecrow and at worse an indicator that you have money and you feel secure.

This may not be a popular response but when did the nazi regime stop? When did China stop with it's cleansing? America and manifest destiny? I could go on... Humanity needs to realize that we are pretty shitty in general and can't be trusted when it comes to hatred, entitlement, and tribalism.

The solution is a neutral third party with sufficient power to stop any country's bullshit through economic and military (actual) peacekeeping... which doesn't exist nor will it ever.

So the short answer is they will stop when the cleansing is complete.

After the deed is done we as 'civilized' nations will lament the tragedy and promise change... until the media cycle washes all those sins down the drain and it will be forgotten until next time.

Most of them have part time jobs by that point... have quit their clubs to make time for cram school, and need to provide choices for not only their followup education but their desired trade. So they're isolated during a time of extreme stress... and are exhausted.

Oh and their population is cratering and the economy is headed for hyperinflation... which means more work for 'less' pay in a country that has people literally die of overwork.

Honestly? It's astounding how much those kids can absorb and keep on going.

Amazon.

Yes but how will it handle rain?

Don't worry though we solved inflation. We just removed it from our calculations. If we don't count it: it's not there!

so they can go fuck themselves.

They didn't need your permission. That's how they keep breaking records for lowest IQ. ;)

JFC Microsoft has no chill. Snip is practically the last thing in windows that works right.

There are a variety of options available with near feature parity. Killing the free version effectively cut out lab users which may as well say: we sure would like people to start training on a new platform. People use what they are comfortable with.... and tend to carry a hatchet for companies that burn them.

This was a short sighted play which ultimately will result in the platform dying slowly as the workforce changes. They cut off new blood: less people will be proficient with their platform and more will be pushing for a switch to the competition. In addition to the loss of the free version they massively ramped prices. They won't last. Right now the companies that are too big to pivot are already starting to weigh the costs of transitioning vs the squeeze. The C-suite are idiots.

A better statement should be: you should remain vigilant and light on attachment to any banner. If an ill wind blows and you don't like it, it's time to move. Control your data- aspire to be a digital nomad.

Firefox isn't without it's own issues, recently. Google used to be viewed as a paragon once, too.

I can't imagine why the windows 11 market share is dropping.

Can't wait until this spurs the security community into doing a deep look at the roms on these cheap Chinese boards. Yeah the malware was caught - but what's more important is the intent. This is a country that is constantly behind breaches and botnets... and here we have these PCs being marketed as router replacents and mini servers. It doesn't take much to figure out that this is free back door territory.

It's simple. They want the free labor provided by the community with the ability to keep all of the profits they can potentially reap from said labor.

For the price you can by a pretty competent n100 based mini PC which beats the hell out of the pi for a lot of tasks. Makers can get a cheaper solution via esp32 or clones... so what real market is there for it?

Pi isn't dead but the IPO would be a hail mary for funding while they figure out how not to go bankrupt.

As a reminder this was the go-to play for Facebook when they were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Default it off until nobody's looking and change it slightly so it was named 'differently' and on it went again.

Hey someone's gotta keep the average IQ of a lawyer bell curve balanced. I'm pretty sure the 5th circuit is the equivalent to "Florida Man" in the legal space.

Chrome is the container housing that website the developer decided to include 15 libraries at 50 meg each because he couldn't be bothered to optimize shit and that's just "standard" now. Oh and tack on the 15 scripts running to mine your data and load unfiltered ads into your userspace.

Get more ram pleb, it's cheap.... has been the excuse for ages. Makes it easy to ignore the problem.

Don't get me wrong- chrome is a pig... but in general it's the dogshit-bad coding and development choices that turn even a small page into a massive footprint.

Go easy on the farmers it's not their fault John Deere has conditioned them to do that.

Oh, I'm fully aware. Tribalism is the lizard brain going deeeep in the paint. The problem is this: peaceful culture doesn't fight back - aggressive culture exploits this: which one thrives? We have systematically bred for and codified our warlike nature. This is the result. Is it fixable? Many have tried. Our history books are littered with both failed attempts and their distorted remains. All I can say for certain is that the way the majority of countries are structured... isn't it. This is fundamentally why achieving a fix is nearly impossible at scale: tribalism. Even if we are wrong it's our wrong and we don't want to lose it. This is rooted in fear of change which from a survival aspect makes sense... but becomes detrimental at scale.

For the afflicted? No.

For us as a species? No.

For capitalism? God yes.

Thin people consume the least. Once we stop growing we stop needing new clothes. Obesity changes this. Clothes wear out faster, you need new sizes. Obesity leads to depressive states where people buy more to feel better. Speaking of more: eat more! Have some sweets to feel better!

Be bold. Be beautiful. Be you (for us!)

Clothing stores and food chains done with you? Guess you are broken now...

Welcome to the medical system you will now need to rely on to function and stay alive! Till death do we part.

Obesity is an epidemic and it's too profitable to actually do anything about. They don't care about you, your feelings, or your health. You are literally livestock to these corporations that you think are caudling you and your way of life. This is a wake up call.

Obesity is difficult to conquer. It requires change and persistence. It requires support. Not everyone can achieve a 'healthy ideal' but everyone can do better.

Step one... create consent deepfake....

I don't like that I thought it... But It pains me to say it will be used as a defense at some point.

Our condolences to his family.

I don't disagree with that. If someone wants in they're coming in. 100% agreed. The trick is making your self less of an easy target and cutting down on easy ins.

My statement was pretty generic as there is a lot of nuance to locks and security. My concern lies mostly with the fact that you rarely have a suitable blending of the two technologies. Either a lock company buying a kit or an electronics company buying bulk locks. Or a company that does neither and is looking for another thing to peddle on Amazon.

Some of these locks have very poorly positioned relays. You can unlock them with a magnet. Others can be actuated using a simple emf generator. Ones with passcodes can be read with consumer grade ir sensors or determined by wear and fingerprints.

Reducing attack vectors is always preferred. But it is absolutely up to the end user where their balance between convenience and security lies.

A good deadbolt and key while average is still superior as it is only 3ish attack vectors: pick or impression, destruction of door/lock, and the trusty rock:

Most doors have poorly placed windows with standard glass in or next to them.

There's a bubble.

ISPs won't do shit that would affect their bottom line. If they play ball with this it's a slippery slope to mass cullings of their subscriber base.

It turns out that "we want to charge you more for eating at a normal time" was a poor choice for the fast food restaurant. Who knew?

I consider this campaign fundamentally different than his first.

First and foremost - he is a grifter and conman at the end of a con with enemies on all sides. This is a desperate man. If elected his goal is to first wipe his slate clean via a pardon - and then will be to retain power thereafter.

To achieve these goals he will do anything. What makes this terrifying is he genuinely believes himself to be the smartest person in the room. He is a shortsighted idiot that is playing chess with blinders on while the rest of the world is playing 4d chess.

Other nations fears of another term with that man are not unfounded.

Nah it'd be cheaper to commission the artist for a dozen or so pictures for 45 bucks:

First you need to blow some ungodly amount of money on breaking the time/space barrier.... Then travel back to the 1920s and find a starving artist. Then pitch him 45 bucks for some art. Easy! 45 bucks to them is like 800 of our today dollars.

Sarcasm aside- it seems people really are disconnected on how much a commission or art costs. Sure you can buy prints reasonably priced but any commission that isn't a speedy doodle is going to clock in a helluva lot higher.

Lithium ion is pure shit in extreme temps... and of course an added load of ordinance and armor... this thing will have less reliability and range than a kids power wheels.

The guy is between families because he's constantly traveling between them.

A fun bonus would be if his sticker was mobile and he moved it family to family depending on where he was that day.

All kidding aside:

Kudos if he's making that work and not being a terrible father. That looks exhausting.

Fuck these companies. They all need to rot.

No, see- they already know that the votes to convict were miscounted. They are currently on a crusade to overthrow it 😅

The majority of the southern states identity (not that part) has long since been reduced to a caricature of itself.

All being a southerner requires now is access to your divine guide: whatever the most recent pop country album is. It's just advertisement set to country tunes.

If anything I'd say the least free group in America is your typical 'country boy.'

... and costs 1.2 million to manufacture. Built with moon rocks and distilled human souls.

Mostly because it's simply not that easy. Devs go where support is at and follow market share (2000s era Mac gamer memes.)

If you look at the Linux community as a whole it's a wasteland of competing parties and standards. So it's not developing for linux it's developing for distros^hardware.

Windows is shit and it's pretty well known that it's getting worse... but it's still the standard and unfortunately until Linux starts unifying and becoming more stable for developers it's unlikely to become more compelling for the broader market to switch to.

TLDR; every time a new conflict breaks out hop in that thread and say "give peace a chance" and see how well that gets received.
