Wow, I've never heard about "GIZCHINA". It definitely isn't gizmodo - right? πŸ€” Right!

  • it is a Czech company with entire capital stock consisting of 4USD 😎 (cca 100 CZK)
  • the text is showing hight probability of AI generation. Which adult human being is going to write eg: " In this article, we will discuss the FAA report in detail, including the risks posed by falling satellites, the causes of these risks, and the potential solutions to mitigate them." πŸ€–
  • it does not say anything else than this - much more likely human written thing here - only the original is only 1/3 as long. That is IMO how come the AI Writing is literraly jumping out on you from the article. 😱

This is my least favourite century yet.

There was not a single Intel / X86-64 "unibody" Macbook in the entire history of Apple that didn't have a heat stress issue πŸ˜‚. First unibody was released in 2009, the first w/ "M" chip fixing the problem in 2020 πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

As somebody who did IT support - the last two seem perfectly normal to me:

  • Computer "forgot passwords" - obviosly the man is using different browser than regular and it ain't filling in his passwords. Maybee diferent profile in the same browser? Is he using the same account as usual?

  • Wind blowing away wi-fi. She is likely connected to the internet through a point-2-point wifi connection and there may be a tree or something along the way messing not wifi signal in her house but her connectivity to the outside. I'd refer her to her ISP, just instruct her to formulate the question a bit better.

South Korea or Brazil also doesn't have regular citizens? How about Switzerland? List of 85 countries that had mandatory military services in 2023.

...and just a few hours later: claims of being mistinterpreted (again - Guardian). Poor princeling - never even imagined someone could speak back to him and now has no idea how to act. Maybe shouldn't have left the cave after all πŸ€”

8 billion people and growing.

I don't know about sharing passwords, but I know that if you have an Exchange server on premises (meaning you have mailserver on your own infrastructure maybe somewhere in the building) because you don't want to have your data in the cloud - Outlook for mobile (both iOS and Android versions) has been sending all your data through M$ servers anyway, don't know for how long - quick search returned a 3 year old reference - imo much longer. There are "benefits" that I may be too dumb to understand:

On iOS you can go around and use the default "Mail.app". On Android I haven't found a good app that would work with EWS - I'm using K-9 over IMAP which isn't great.

Hit it.

I am not an expert - just an avid knife freak - but in my experience "Stainless" means "Stain Less" not "Stain Resistent". Eg. s35vn is relatively high quality stainless knife steel - that does not mean it ain't gonna pickup stains - all mine did... I suspect one of the differences between my knifes / Elons Cybertruck vs. your cookware is that your cookware is mirror polished while my knives and the cybertruck are sporting "satin finish" which looks quite esthetically first 5 mnts - but is quite inpractical...

Puppy. Tiny, quick, hard to break, runs on everything.

Fast / Branded fashion - When I was at grammar school there were attempts at bullying kids not wearing branded clothes. Attempts - because those days I was not only year older and head higher than any of my peers but also one pissed off boy scout. They say violence does not solve anything - I say there are exceptions. I don't wear clothes with any form of visible branding or statement. No matter if it is NIKE or similar piece of crap or some brand no one ever heard of. My backpack is the model bundeswehr used to use till the late 80s - re-stitched so many times it is probably a totally unique piece of luggage by now. My jeans are de-branded levis or wornstar bootcuts with reinforced crotch (iron-on patches), my jackets are by Polish company Helicon Tex - they mostly supply to military / police - their models are brand less single color rugged simple and big on pockets. I love Source sandals and linen pants for summer. It should be noted that my occupation does not require me to look respectable - I look like a used fiver - and everybody loves me.

Well If you take in account how hard has "The Chief Xit" tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child πŸ˜‚ . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic πŸ˜‚.

IMO the main difference between left leaning commedy and the right leaning commedy is that the left can make fun of itself.

Example: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Biden catches Covid and his press secretary claims, that "despite his illness, the president is not slowing down". Colbert finds it believable "because he does not thing it is physically possible to move any slower than Biden already is". Whole theater is laughing.

Imagine a right leaning commedian said that about Trump. He would get shot!

Firefox on Android doesn't support keyboard shortcuts - for the last 12 years. Sooo - let's add the bloody AI, that is going to help

Nobody is saying we’re going to block the Palestinians from traveling anywhere. Only the perpetrators, not the victims.

Well that is pitty, because they've just blocked 2 millions of Palestinians living in Israel proper - Demographics of Israel, wikipedia

Banning someone from your resort island is the same sort of punishment of civilians as killing them?

No, but punishing population for the actions of their government is always bad, always unacceptable, and specially when the country isn't even democratic like Israel never was. For one thing - this ban does not only affect Israelis, but also 2 millions of Palestinians who live in Israel proper. Wikipedia - Demographics of Israel

I meant

Depending how the Maldives is doing this (is it based on Israeli Citizenship or is it based on Israeli Nationality?)

It's in the article - passports!

It doesn't make any difference, since because there really aren't any supporters of Israel in this thread, you will just open on anyone you assume is one with walls and walls of text (with which I mostly agree with you) but on a topic nobody put forward and in this condescending manner that is just meant to offend people. You haven't tried to understand my argument at all, you haven't even read the bloody article, you just want to scream at somebody.

So since you are this terrible at reading - let me put it again just for you and you only, I'll try to be blunt:

The tragedy here is that Israel says in response to the 7/10 that all Gazans are guilty, they all deserve to die. That is not acceptable, that is called collective punishment. And Maledives are justifying Israels approach by doing the same. Now Israel can say:

" Look ! Maledives are also using the same principle of collective punishment / collective responsibility and the World is praising them! "They are all antisemites and they are all using "special meter" on us and different meter on everyone else:". /s

...and what is worst - in this case they have a point! This exactly what we don't need right now. They could have just banned the settlers, or they could have just banned those several settlers Biden has banned and that would be perfectly fine. This is clumsy at best - no - It's just tragically stupid. It's costing us time that Gazans don't have.

I would like to point out that for some time I've felt bad for also wrongly accusing somebody without reading it all ironically also in regard to the Gaza conflict, but you are so much worse than I am.

A wide range of issues: Pretty much everything from refusing to boot again to vertical stripes or other "objects" randomly running over the screen. It should be noted that it depends a lot on how you used your device. If you stay away from gaming / video editing or other sources of "constant load" - you may be fine. What kills the notebook is regular overheating...

Full qwerty keyboard. I know I am a minority. I don't need more screen estate, I need to be able to make notes in my diary whithout looking on the screen and not bumping into things while I am walking. I've tried the Uniherz offers, but the OS and the quality is really sub-par. I've jumped on the Astroslide train, but the manufacturing batches went south over the Covid and I don't blame the Astro guys for not getting my device. Some US company did buy the BlackBerry licence and I was ready to pay any price for their phone - but they failed to manufacture anything. If only you could jailbreak BlackBerry Key 2 - I'd be carrying it proudly around till today. (written on Google Pixel 6 runnning Graphene with a collabsible pocket bluetooth keyboard - so I can type at least while I am not moving - best among terrible options).

A colleague wanted to throw out Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3, 10IGL5 (a tablet pc with IMO cool keyboard that can be disconnected and used over bluetooth, 4 core intel CPU taking like 5W & 8GB of ram). Originally bought for his kid but it is absolutely useless under windows. I've tested it with current Ubuntu with somewhat meh results (BT keyboard won't work, no chance to get the automatic screen rotation going, screwy on screen keyboard) then I have installed Fedora and the thing is absolutely amazing. Everything works out of the box, I haven't done anything "smart" at all and honestly as a XFCE (still deep in x11) user I am amazed how well the Wayland is doing on this. I would dare to say better out of the box experience than Apple - everything is similarly polished but you don't have to register / pay anything. Now my teamleader is taking it to presentations. He connects the display over USB-C adapter to the projector, walks over the room and controls it with the BT keyboard - Mac wielding accounts are starting to cry. As docker/podman is native he continues to spin up the whole app in a container - at which point every technical person in the room needs to know what the f is that thing?! They are no longer being manufactured though, newer version does not have that cool keyboard...

Please read the article.

And yet your post implied some sort of equivalency.

Equivalency - I have to confess English isn't my first language and I am not sure I understand what you mean specifically/ in what context. Would you please care to explain?

As for the blanket ban - while it wasn't my comment, I don't find it unreasonable - how would you describe a rule advertised as punishing extremist Zionism that also punishes both post Zionists and anti Zionists all the same?

Thank you for this. I've been testing the Nine app for a week now and I am sold πŸ‘ Some users do complain that the app "isn't as good as it used to be" - but luckily for me I don't know - and it's the best one I've seen anyway.

I would argue that anyone capable of dispassionately studying this subject can equally easily find that Elon Musk is not a reliable source of information (I'd dare say a liar) , eg:

  • the famous solar city presentation where Musk showcased several houses with solar tiles. The houses were a tv set for Desperate Hosewives, and tiles he was showing off simply didn't exist. That can't imagine a scenario where this could be an honest mistake.
  • the funding secured tweet from 2018 where he claimed he had enough money to take Tesla private at 420 USD / share. He got sued therefore we know he didn't - even remotly.

I don't know whether Elon is a genius or not - but when somebody, who is proven to be somewhat creative with the truth, also claims that he is a genius - specially in the "I know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive" manner - I don't think it is unreasonable to have doubts.

bt keyboards can be absolutelly critical for some users with disabilities. most of the developing world can't afford to own several devices like a computer and a phone.

Would you please share with us where is Israel providing building materials and money to Gaza?

You haven't read the article. It says Israeli passport holders.

It's understandable that people hate him but spreading lies is where I draw the line.

That is exactly the point - I don't think one can use terms like "majority" and "assume" to justify collective punishment, because that is exactly what the Israelis are doing right now.(But I am obviously wrong )

IMO the equivalency is in how you've chosen those individuals that don't deserve to live / that are no longer allowed to enter...

I expected to get downvoted, I got downvoted, I am not angry. Reverse psychology? Manipulate? Are you 100% sure you are not talking about yourself?

Well If you take in account how hard has "The Chief Xit" tried to destroy Twitter and piss off anyone using it, this is actually unexpectadly good result! More Powah to the Man Child πŸ˜‚ . Also - there is no longer the $1 payment for account creation - I guess bot traffic is better than no traffic πŸ˜‚.

There were economic sanctions, there was a huge wave of divestment, but all that was pointed at the institutions of the state - not at its citizens ( like this unfortunate decision of Maledives).

Edit: how much sense would it make blocking black citizens of SA from visiting your country -simply because they live under apartheid?

Thank you! I don't think I've been this proud for getting down voted lately. And I don't blame you - I hope your motivation is same as mine - to end the tragedy that is currently happening in Gaza ASAP. IMO - You just aren't terribly adult about it, but I trust that you will get there <3

This is ubelievably dumb. Israel is not even a democracy. Yes, they may have some democratic laws, but they are also 70+ years under the state of emergency. There isn't free press. Israelis are getting locked up for protesting for peace, for refusing to fight in a apartheid war, even for liking facebook comments supporting Palestine. Aplying collective punishment / collective responsibility under such circumstances (as generally under any circumstances) not only doesn't support the plight of palestinian refugees, it goes against it!

I understand their (Maledives) motivation, but this is not the way. You can't punish all Palestinians for the crimes of the few, nor can you punish all Israelies for the crimes of the many.

Go ahead and downvote me.
