I'm starting to think we need to make encryption a protected class, so that we can label speaking against it as hate speech. Let's start putting some of these politicians in jail for being stupid.

It can be done, fairphone rather famously did it once. But it is vastly uneconomical, and I doubt anyone is going to start doing it regularly. We really need some kind of regulation demanding firmware support for longer. The EU seems the mo

About 2 months, or 60 days, if we go by the old 90/10 rule. Not sure that rule is even applicable anymore, but I don't have a better heuristic to make guesses by either.

Really? That's weird, I owned a Tesla in Sweden for 2 years and had perhaps 3 ghost break events total. I used autopilot(not fsd) a lot.

Free for individuals, and costs 3 euro per month for companies +0.1 euro per transaction (only for companies) What cards are you taking about that are cheaper than that?

Sounds like pix is very similar to the Swedish swish. Phone numbers are used for identity, payments are instant, businesses often have qr codes with their identity etc.. It's like WhatsApp but with money!

The article says a human SHOULD NOT do those things. Much like a human SHOULD NOT smoke, since it's bad for just about everything, and do it anyways, people will do these 3 things too. But they shouldn't. Arguing that they should

The next spiritual successor should allow us to customise the species, and let us deal with whatever consequences that might bring! Like, you might have a aquatic space-faring species, which requires you to bring lots of water into space. M

Indeed! The law needs to include firmware in some way. I'm not smart enough to come up with how exactly it should be dealt with, but it does need to be dealt with. Currently Qualcomm decides when your phone stops getting updates, prett

White men are not allowed to grow old? How come? Doesn't really seem fair, I'm gonna be a old white man some day, ain't really that much I can do about it...(Well, I suppose sex changes are a thing now, but really?)

I prefer the slim device that keeps track of where I am in the book, has a built in backlight that is easy on the eyes and doesn't disturb my wife when I'm reading in bed until long after she's asleep, and that lets me acquir

Adjust the fines such that X is some acceptably large number. The trickiest part will be figuring out how many dollars per mile driven is an acceptable cost of business.. I'd probably reserve the whole executives to jail thing to cases

I can't help imagining someone trying to debug this rigging their laptop to their bicycle handlebars, connecting to the ride computer and then going for a ride to get live data for the debug session. It would be very hard not to die in
