All jokes aside, IoT devices suck.

Why does a dishwasher need to connect to a remote server to use its full functionality? Why does my coffee maker need me to start it using an app? At that point it isn’t a feature, it’s a dependency that the company behind will eventually shut down one way or another.

Unless you run your mobo with a password (no one really does), the attack vector always exists by disabling secure boot physically; and even the BIOS password could be reset through ways so I don’t really see the point in secure boot.

Please Vance, vouch for Erdogan next time

Never knew the game was ported to Android in the first place.

If Iran had nukes, this problem wouldn’t happen in the first place, because no country would dare instigate a war against a country with nukes. Same reason why Russia dismantled Ukraine of nuclear weapons before going into war with them, and also the same reason why no country dares to touch North Korea.

lightweight models will dominate in the future, datacenter grade heavy LLMs will die off. There’s no real way to profit off of the heavier models even now.

You can ask for a fork in most restaurants anyway

Technically true, you should choose your VPN provider carefully and not opt for the cheapest one right on.

In practice however, it’s safer than whatever surveillance US is trying to implement by forcing down US made routers.

ID verification

April fools

Makes no sense when fanatical exists.

I mean, ring 0 calls cannot be run on wine at all, hypervisor pretty much works with that level of priviledge, but you should be able to run it under another VM.

Host an anonymous scholarship program for 800 million to throw the money away while giving education opportunities to people in poverty, donate 100 mil to open source projects I use. invest 90 mil to have a steady income throughout the rest of my life.

I can live a satisfying life just with 10 mil, and the income generated from investments would be a good safety net, but I’m not really a high end luxury seeker.

The real question is I have a UK originating iPhone that i use just for photographing. I do not live in UK, but the phone is not registered to use gsm in my country since it costs 3 times the price of said iPhone to do so.

If I update, will it show the ID prompt to me? Because I sure as hell do not have UK ID, so the phone will literally become a brick.

I’ve been in a group argument over whether you use a comma in the second last item of a list; as in the one in paranthesis at apples, oranges(,) and pears. The fact is, I didn’t even care which was correct i thought it was the dumbest shit to argue over but it was funny

I fucking hate this man, this may cause chernobyl all over and cause even more irreversible damage to the world. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind if Israel gets wiped off the map at this point; they’ve committed too many inhuman atrocities and they should not get away with it, including their own attacks to Iran’s nuclear site in Natanz. But a nuclear disaster is not a good outcome for anyone in the first place, especially for a neighboring country.

Rhythm Doctor is the baseline I would want from how Early Access is done. Also an amazing game with a simple control scheme

osu! showed me that even putting the same thing over and over to improve yourself could be really addicting.

Chrono Trigger showed me even with hardware limitations you can achieve stunning visuals.

Please do not tell me it’s a reference to an actual crime

I’d love to see COSMIC Files on par with Dolphin, and Dolphin is vastly superior to Windows file explorer in the first place.

Yogurt is also very interesting, as its bacteria originates from ants. Who would think “hmm ants have infested my milk container but hey let me taste what they did to milk anyways”
