You're missing the point entirely. The problem isn't that ads can be disabled. The problem is that a paid operating system ships with ads in the first place. Full stop. There's no universe where that's acceptable product

The trick is the same: use a popular linux distribution and don't fight the kinks. The people who had no issues with Pulseaudio; used a mainstream distribution. Those distributions did the heavy lifting of making sure stuff fit togethe

You think? It took us nearly a decade and a half to unfuck the pulseaudio situation and finally arrive at a simple solution (pipewire). SystemD has a lot more people refining it down but a clean (under the hood) implementation probably won&

Unfortunately the parent commenter is completely right. The attestation portion of those systems is happening on locked down devices, and if you gain ownership of the devices they no longer attest themselves. This is the curse of the duopol

It's ironic, because I was using image generation a while back when it was introduced and got frustrated with moderation. On almost every scene generated I was met with a huge number of "Content Moderated" outputs (sufficed

where did you get that number? parts and labour is $15,000 to $22,000 from all sources I can find. Heres one: https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/tesla-battery-replace...

It was recently in the media that old Tesla’s are now worthless once the batteries are dead and that this is happening now. Heres one such source but theres hundreds if you care to look: https://min.news/en/auto/2a

“I’ll sell my car before it becomes an issue” - common statement I’ve heard. It needs to be fixed, because aside from someone being left with the economic bag of disposing of the vehicle, it is actually an environmental issue to build these

Sort of. It’s not a secret that Ukraine is vital for the ground defence of Russia, but the Ukrainian people are pro-EU, and not from propaganda. You might well remember that their government was essentially a puppet for Russia until they we

You’d be proving me wrong with this fact if the data showed that they’re moving more units because of this marketing. As it stands the Nissan Leaf is an outlier only in Norway, where it was practically a free car due to subsidies, otherwise

To be honest with you, the free market does work when incentives are aligned. If you get maximum profit from the maximum social good, people will do that (or find a way to cheat); but as it stands, theres money to be made in not doing thi

The real scandal isn’t just battery degradation… it’s that manufacturers have zero incentive to solve it. Your car becoming worthless after a decade suits them down to the ground. Battery swapping changes the game entirely. Imagine a nation

before anyone jumps on the pedantry bandwagon, its worth noting that even though open war hasn’t been called: the attacks on infrastructure especially cyber warfare is extremely active and, crucially, direct. It is totally fair to say that

Your entire argument rests on conflating "trust" with "blind dependency on a third party subject to legal compulsion". > Okay, then take sharing your PINs with your spouse. Sharing with your spouse is consensual, temp

You've listed five scenarios where local recovery would help and concluded that cloud escrow is therefore necessary. The thing is every single one of those scenarios is solved by a local backup of your recovery key, not by uploading it

Your credit card analogy is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, but it's carrying the wrong cargo. Sending your kid to the shops with your card is temporary delegation , not permanent key escrow to a third party you don't contro

The defenders of Microsoft are right? How? There is no point locking your laptop with a passphrase if that passphrase is thrown around. Sure, maybe some thief can't get access, but they probably can if they can convince Microsoft t

I’ll note that looking at the screen deadens the alarm. I’ve had it a couple of times where I’ve looked at the alarm on my nightstand, the alarm quietens down to nearly nothing and I fall back to sleep. My partner missed a flight due to t

Absolutely not. ME was unstable but had charm, it deserved a lot of the dislike because NT was just so good ... and they really should not have removed Real-Mode; that would have been the reason to use ME over NT2000... Vista though? If yo

I'm discussing wealth distribution, not defending genocide. If you can't tell the difference, that's your problem.
