You never really know what to expect. I've heard Russia uses Cellebrite devices at borders, which means cloud-storing an image of your entire device for foreign intelligence agencies to carve up later is possible.

Doubtful, yet they'd probably rebuild your vacuum if you brought it to them. There are a glut of hyper-specialized businesses around here. Russians run all of the appliance repair shops. Israelis ran all cell phone repair places until

Hyperbolic much? I don't care much for law enforcement or any product of Israel but I'm not inclined to humor misrepresentation of them either. > the company’s generative AI capabilities can summarize chat threads “to help prio

It never ceases to amuse me that our entire economy is manipulated according to economic theory, the Department of Justice's playbook is deferential to race theory, for the last decade we've been teaching kids about sexuality thro

Liberals have no actual logic, only persuasive rhetoric. They get away with it by euphemistically shaping a homophonic-oppositional language we conflate with our own. Ban the logits corresponding to their predictable ad hominems and you get

Maybe buying up all the water rights so nobody can use it to cool their own server farm is the literal moat that would serve them best.

It goes to a login page but I was curious enough to pry. ISBN 087584863X or 9780875848631, "Information Rules" by Carl Shapiro. Available on the prominent alternative procurement network.

Huh. I witnessed this the other day when one of two mice got caught in the assembly of my garage door, running along the top of it. The first saw the other fall behind and went back frantically trying to free him but it didn't work out

> One also has to ask if it's productive to cut these cables when 1) it disrupts nothing on a grand scale, and 2) if it were to disrupt anything it also means they cannot perform other attacks. Part of a balanced DoS. The article is

Propaganda. Trolling. Telling people the standard for tipping is 20%. Lying with conviction.

It won't matter if people are too unintelligent to understand it. The message has effectively been lost for a few hundred years. The Simpsons movie demonstrated it best-- Grandpa has a heart attack or something at church, Marge asks &q

They didn't say in what way the kid's handwriting is trash, but I've noticed that westerners who have spent time writing kanji end up with handwriting that looks like it was done by a machine. Probably the same concept at pla

It's not the same. Instruction manuals were unambiguous. (SimLife's was really fun from what I remember.) You got one and it said everything it needed to. D&D (and many other TTRPGs) have become too Judaic for my liking. You c

You sell 3x as many books that way. I bought two of the Fate books (first the "toolkit" book, then the "core system" book) not fully understanding the differences.

They don't want features added to it, they want to see new revolutionary products similar to it. I remember the magic of early Google, delivering products and features that actually solved problems. Gmail offered 1GB storage while Yaho

Eight years isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things. The stereotypical band-of-brothers stuff only sets in when your clique has been enlisted long enough to see combat, lose people, and retire into civilian life together. Trauma bond

There is camaraderie to it; the sense that you're all facing the same struggle together. Nobody is manipulating others by inventing strawman problems to solve because the work is real enough and you all get punished together when it is

Looks more like Medieval Times to me. WWE is just a bunch of performative groping. Even Cirque du Soleil carries more risk of death. The corpse removal process is seamless enough that the show continues.

The funny thing these days is that all porn is tailored to appear as far from "tame" as imaginable. The average PornHub user's history will be full of weird incest shit at the very least, not because of any specific interest

You make some good points. Not convinced LLMs should be mandatory reporters. However well intentioned that initiative is a torrent of nonsense foisted on overworked social workers, like the automatic 911 dialers in phones. > Someone talk

A younger me was not so bright. At the time I needed the few extra bucks and retirement seemed a lifetime away; I had all the time in the world to make up for it. Years later I got a mortgage and learned what compound interest is. I'd

You're sort of right but for the wrong reasons. Early withdrawal penalty is not the only problem. People only need to crack open the piggy bank when shit hits the fan. During those times (layoffs, etc.), the value of what's in the
