For 99% of normal people, neither A nor B is something they are capable of. If the success of free alternatives is contingent on this behavior, we might as well throw in the towel now. If the average Discord user read your comment, I think

Yeah, it's not unique to the EU. Suffice to say we also don't put the US above such suspicions either.

Why aren't Shopify and Proton listed above Apple and Microsoft here? https://www.lobbyfacts.eu/ If we're going to assume it's the evil lobbyists controlling the narrative, let's at least do it right.

I actually tend to agree. My struggle is with people that sensationalize the untrustworthiness of AI when it has been plainly apparent since day-zero.

All AI is untrustworthy. Many people have been saying this since the start, and there's not really any evidence that AI will or can attain perfection. Set your expectations accordingly. P.S.: There is no greener pasture. If you've

That's the point, indeed. Your ISP and DNS can technically intercept your traffic, but it's pointless since TLS exists. Similarly, you can Wireshark an iPhone using MDM profiles but Apple doesn't respect your profile in the f

Besides the datacenter stuff, what exactly are people struggling to source these days? The 30/40-series prices should be fairly stable relative to the MSRP these days.

Analogous to the metaphor you just made, the "better solution" is not talking to people. I'm all-for open and secure communication protocols, but the layman isn't going to agree if you cast it as an all-or-nothing mental

Well an MDM profile isn't going to decrypt iCloud data or Apple telemetry. It's basically the same dangerous power your ISP and DNS provider wields, but nobody is about to suggest banning those for user safety too.

I remember Projectpad being really close to what I wanted in this regard: https://github.com/emmanueltouzery/projectpad2/ Shame it appears to be abandoned.

The parent is right, though. Both Google and Apple send encrypted telemetry that you cannot MITM or decrypt a-la HTTPS or TLS. The average iPhone and average Android phone lights up like a Christmas tree in Wireshark - some of it can be r

They really cannot. Both SAM sites and CIWs are built for this job, and drones simply aren't. A drone isn't as fast as a cruise missile or as maneuverable as a jet. Most of them boast a radio signature bigger than an F-35 and stru

That's old hat. A modern strike package uses decoys to overwhelm radar and only needs to deploy a fraction of them as live missiles. The TALD/MALD is a recent example of this, used as a JSOW decoy when attacking high-capability SE

Live works fine through Wine, nowadays. If I'm not mistaken, the Ableton installer works fine too - you just download the Windows copy and it installs it like-native. Very odd stuff, but it works fine from what I remember (I use Bitwig

Generally I'm not one to look down upon location-based startups, but the UAE has funded hundreds of such moonshots. They're an importer-state, which isn't a bad thing in a globalized economy but definitely presents it's

Time will tell. I worked at a startup that bought Apple Silicon build servers day-and-date with announcement (despite our stack not building on ARM). There is certainly a demand for anything with the "made in Cupertino" label.

They definitely underplay it - Meta is big on services, selling people a quest for sideloading or Blu-Ray streaming probably threatens their bottom line. Hard to blame them when the hardware costs the same as a Switch though. At the price A
