The thing that's weird about Apple's "Intelligence" features is how dumb they are. I messaged one of my kids yesterday that the pizza I made was ready and that I was out in the backyard with our dogs. Genmoji (or whateve

The original post didn't mention the US. My response didn't say any country was better or worse than any other country, just that China had an imperialist past. The strange whataboutism you're doing and trying to "debate

There has been one US F35 damaged in combat. That's total, across all the areas its been in and all the countries that have deployed them, starting in 2018. They've been up against the best air defense systems in the world in Vene

That is completely immaterial and makes absolutely no sense. An imperial power isn't one because its borders were set in 1776 (which they weren't)? Also.. this little event where they added something like 10% of the current size.

I was responding to the incorrect assertion that China was the least imperialist country on the planet, which is clearly false. Maybe read the entire conversation before jumping in?

Holy non-sequitur batman. Why would Japan mass produce an inferior product when they would easily be able to design and build a far superior one? "Shahed" isn't just another word for drone, it's a specific company's

Winning what? I mean, you said he was "literally winning". What was he winning? Some polls about the DNC primary?

You don't win a race by having a "damn the consequences, full speed ahead" attitude. That's how you lose a race.

Not sure what history books you're reading, but the history of China is one of imperialism. China didn't just form with its current borders. It expanded and contracted and expanded some more for millennia.

So I guess your answer is yes, you would like someone to do this work for you for free, because others have done other work for free. And then once the free work is done, you will happily pay a nominal fee to gain the benefit of all the fre

What, exactly, is the definition of a "security company" in your mind? Threat Intel companies definitely fall under that normally, so I'm curious what you think it is. Also, the idea that this type of thing could just be stoo

Voting for someone and liking someone aren't synonyms. You claimed one thing, now you're saying something else. In 2024, if the Dems just had a normal primary they would have won. But they consistently lied to people about what th

One of the reasons that unions in the US are unpopular because they function as the funding arm of one of the political parties. In some states you have to join these unions to get a job at a state agency or at a government funded school. T

Switches handle data at far faster rate than any hardware can actually inspect it, store it, process it, etc. But yeah, just a rack of "fast switches" is all it takes to route hundreds of petabytes of data each day. You should let

If you just look at the largest 4 of those, you'd have 100Tbps of traffic to monitor, with an average throughput of roughly half of that. That's ~540PB ((50 Tbps / 8 bits) * 86400 seconds/day) of traffic a day with just
