My country does not have a 1st amendment, but ok? My country does not have free speech. It has some of the most stringent copy right laws in the world. It also has defamation laws that have been used to suppress truthful reports. Police are

Well no, judges do not have common sense. They are either extremely obtuse or corrupt. Worst case, they will make up their mind early on and refuse to budge. Sometimes they are too old to even comprehend the technology. Judges are always on

It's called being an amateur radio or ham radio operator. "Oops, sent a funky signal with the wrong configuration, let's try again." Or "I messed up the modulation so the message is illegible." Or "I just

What are you smoking? The parent comment has nothing to do with anything you just spouted. It's about random transmissions being labeled as "encrypted" when that is not the intention. Encryption is not limited to the more mod

Yep. Password managers are quickly becoming a required utility for modern services. And oh how painful it would be to lose that . I memorize maybe 10~20 passwords. And I sometimes mix them up in my head as I type them too. It's why

I've always waited at least two weeks to a month before installing any windows update. I've had two laptops bricked by faulty windows 10 updates in the past. I've gone through the whole gauntlet of people trying to gaslight m

Only if you care about power consumption. 3070 is I think 220~250 watts, while the 4060 sits at 160~200 watts.

That's fair. I did completely omit the R&D costs. I did some basic research again (last comment was on the toilet) and everything I am finding says that Apple's Iphone margins are sitting at around 40%. Either way, I can'

This was literally a discussion about the firmware of a router. How is it not relevant? This person has not updated their router's firmware in over 3 years. The viral traffic needs to get to the router in the first place. I assume tha

"sansai" or 山菜 just means mountain vegetables. It is just a catchall term for any edible plant found in the wilderness.

Well, for starters here is an article about malware specifically targeting ASUS routers. https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research/22/c/cyclops-blink... Hopefully that clears up the first question of &qu

Except that there is a mountain of evidence that shows none of Apple's parts are nearly as expensive as the retail price. If I remember correctly, the Iphone 13 Pro costed an estimated $570 USD build, with a retail sale cost of $1,099

I am really just waiting on their Framework16 laptops. The ability to replace the onboard thermal system alone is enough for me to abandon other options. And a shipping option to Japan. But there appear to be multiple re-shipping services

I know people of my generation that went to pachinko parlors at a very young age. They do not officially have a minimum age requirement. It's just that the generation has moved onto gacha games with systems that are even worse. They te

Pachinko parlors and gacha games. The are all fundamentally designed around the same psychological hooks.

Casinos are technically illegal. So instead we have pachinko parlors. They do not have age restrictions. We also have gacha games which heavily push gambling and incentivise the spending of money for png images.

What? ICE cars are noisy if you design them to be noisy. I remember Toyota's first or second hybrid car was almost completely silent. It caused other problems, primarily the issue that they could sneak up on unaware pedestrians like my

I would personally prefer a complete blanket ban on gambling and psuedo gambling online. My country (Japan) likely has one of the highest rates of child gambling addiction in a developed nation. The number of times I heard "I spent all

Where did I say it doesn't exist? As for the second Fukushima. Look at France. They are IMO one of the best examples of well regulated and managed nuclear power. You will find mentions of maintenance recently, but this I because COVID

Both Chernobyl and Fukushima were caused by human idiocy. There are still a few reactors of the same design as Chernobyl, generating power today. These reactors have not exploded. Simply because they follow strict procedure. Fukushima was

Lmao no. Fukushima No1 was a carbon copy of a US nuclear power plant that was intended to withstand earthquakes... And tornadoes . Tsunamis were not factored into the design. TEPCO wanted to minimize cost. So instead of redesigning the re

And it was a result of corporate cost cutting and greed. The CEOs also walked away without criminal charges. You should also look up Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant. It was closer to the epicenter than Fukushima No1, and was hit with a larger

My "posts"? As in two? I only started getting a proper income recently. How exactly was I supposed to pay when my YT Premium used to be 5% of my income? I already pay for Spotify and Amazon Prime. I literally don't have more

by Prickle 3y ago
To my understanding, the money primarily goes to large creators first. So the smaller creators get a smaller contribution out of my YT Premium. So, if I really do want to support the creator, other external systems are better.

I believe they have changed the price 3 times in my country. It likely depends on the currency.

by Prickle 3y ago
Even if I paid for YT premium, the money wouldn't go to the YT creator people I support. It's really that simple. I can no longer trust PayPal, and Patreon doesn't accept my local credit card so that goes down the drain too.

I assume you mean "Can I run a virtual machine of an android device?" The answer is yes. Since forever ago. You can find an official guide here: https://source.android.com/docs/setup/create/avd

We need a source for that "75% would choose this immediately". Our group, sure! Our generation, and people in our shoes, and with our level of knowledge about LLMs. But maybe not others. tl;dr Not yet Consider three things: 1. Wh

Thankyou for the recommendation! I'll go about scheduling that.
