The US was never a trusted partner, Europeans just didn’t have a choice. No one company was able to spend the amount of money required to compete with American technology, so nobody did. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower, the “friendship

This is completely normal in Germany, try and make an app that is too good at IPTV and you get a visit from the police.

I mean even putting the politics aside, you do kind of ask for this to happen when you start putting actual pressure on real people. Someone was eventually going to do something about this. Pretty authoritarian but it's not like this j

My cat yawns after watching me yawn, I assumed this was a universal thing.

The US government made them tie their hands behind their back a few years ago, NHTSA tried to shut down the company so they rebranded their then Comma 2 as a dashcam that might be able to drive your car.

Hybrids are barely mainstream and are growing faster than EVs, Toyota doesn't have anything to worry about for a long time.

These guys are massive scammers, I worked with them over multiple projects and the only thing I remember is by the end of each one, everyone was memeing on them for how poorly made everything they did was.

Their stock price is currently suffering because of how poorly iPhones are doing in places with real competition (i.e. China), the iPhone 16 when put side by side with Chinese phones just makes the iPhone look like a cheap knock-off. Even 9

I know Apple wants to differentiate ProMotion as a Pro feature, but even non-tech people I know are wondering why Android phones run smoother than iPhones. Stuff that would be completely unheard of purely because of how noticeable 60hz vs 1

Russia is basically calling the West's bluff that they won't use nukes to enforce their ideology and Russia won. Everyone wants to talk big until it comes time to actually enforce words.

The tone is perfect here, you don’t have to play nice with people who are not nice to you. You only get the benefit of professionalism if you act like one.

NATO doesn’t have to rethink anything, NATO is an extension of EUCOM for all intents and purposes. That’s why the title of Supreme Allied Commander Europe goes to the same guy that runs EUCOM.

Yeah we only have support to deal with bugs within AWS's platform itself, and 99% of the time we need to escalate it with our rep anyways.

They lost too many key contracts after the breach, and they never bothered to fix their reputation.

Most companies are way too incompetent to even know how to secure their own data because it is just too expensive to actually hire someone that knows what they're doing - so most of the "cybersecurity" industry is just grifte

Apple is pretty much the only company that cares about this it seems, I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between 4K HDR content available on iTunes/TV+ vs Blu Ray. If you subscribe to Paramount+ in the TV app, you get t

I didn't say Messenger wasn't successful. I said that Meta rewrote Messenger twice and did not meet their internal goals both times. Even today you can see Messenger completely break down if you have to sync for more than ~30 seco

Of course it's not a "react problem". It's a skill issue created by the reality that React is incredibly difficult to scale in large projects. If Meta cannot even handle React, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Given I was able to see the errors directly in the js console, yes. You used to be able to break everyone's state by putting an emoji in a URL.

Watching Meta rewrite Messenger twice without success was enough for me to never touch React for any large project, especially after that botched e2ee chat rollout.

Germans can only blame themselves for kicking the can down the road for 13 years. They were naive with Russia for energy, they were naive with the U.S. for security, and they were naive with China for its economic growth.

Which is exactly how it’s supposed to work in the first place, individual states are really the only entities that even have the power to enforce any sort of regulation here anyways. Telecom was always handled by states, the feds only stepp

Firearms need to be practical and reliable first (you only expect to use them in a worst case scenario), the technology required to make a coilgun lethal is neither practical nor reliable, and its more complex to operate and maintain. It’s
