Wasn't twitter/x meant to be that? Pay and verify to enter members club. Didn't quite take off all while destroying goodwill that blue badge used to have.

And ~20 years ago computer riddled with porn malware was kinda normal.

Times change, so does certain expectations.

Why not decouple the special card reader from SD card instead then? I mean it's unsuspecting already, but it probably even less sus since readers are cheap and never a target.

Kinda. Whenever I try to use hide my email on any more of a serious service - it never registers me.

My parents got new telco IPTV boxes and they are excellent. Even voice search in our niche language works flawlessly.

Apple TV I got them few years ago just sits there unused.

I flop between 3.1 and 3.5 when I need it to be flawless. Fast and relatively affordable. Up to 6x cheaper than competitors.

Yes European GDP, especially buying power has been pretty flat over last decades. They simply cannot afford US made products anymore.

My kids dropped my phone in pool plenty of times. Works perfectly.

I never had a need to replace phone battery myself (and I used to work on my laptops decade ago when it made sense).

My guess is that it works so well that actual criminal enterprises and foreign adversaries found it a risk - so they send bots to brigade every comment section.

They can still follow you

Someone please vibe code a site where you pay to leave bad reviews. The more is paid the worse it is.

Imagine what cops do on search engines when solving crimes.

The silly part of this story is people calling that diver a hero.

There were 100 divers involved with total of 10,000 people, 100 agency reps, 900 police officers and 2000 soldiers.

There was no single hero in that story.

Ever wondered why mass media didn't amplify the same news about chatgpt which did exactly the same?

Did we forget how XAI meant to be uncensored model (because censorship is a lie and lying models cannot be good)

They're probably saving a billion USD per year just from the debt restructuring

Cool. Sounds like a wise financial management. Musk's early background is actually in finance.

People call him software and physics but rarely remember he's a finance genius too.

p.s. you probably wanna have a look how indebted legacy auto is compared with Tesla. That's why merger with SpaceXAI makes sense.

Don't buy a subscription baby, get an open weight model and go about your day.

Your complaint is equivalent to Amazon selling hosted postgresql...

Corporations which stole the work from many open source developers

Wasn't that the entire point of open source tho?

For context - macropad is about $5-10 from aliexpress. I got one for my kids in back of car so they can control music and climate.

Yeah that’s nothing compared to token cost. Cheapest iPhone costs like 2x than it.

Wha wha whaat? You'll more likely to see no ports soon than two lol.

I don't remember when I actually plugged my phone for anything other than charging. Must be nearly a decade. And wireless charging is becoming good, albeit not ubiquitous quite yet.

I saw this posted somewhere too, but my first Sonicare lasted 10 years, next one 5 and last one 2 which also mirrors my experience.

My favorite DON'T DO THIS method is plugging European plug in UK socket - using something like scissors in earth to open shutters for neutral/live where EU plug actually fits pretty ok.

The other one is twisting US/JP plug pins so they fit AU/NZ sockets...

Yes! I've been doing this for years!

Figure-8 cable is usually easy to find in some old media player in someone's house.

That said usb-c chargers are quite ubiquitous now that you'll likely to find one anyway.

Also 6ft usb-c cables are very neat. IDK why Apple even ships that 3ft e-waste.

That is insane take. Datacenters are built where it makes most economic sense (aka cheapest aka cleanest power).

If you build where power is expensive - you are burning world even more.

That's ~8 used EV batteries. Each cost less than 10k, maybe 6-8k AUD.

If you know your way around high voltage DC, got a tractor and appropriate emulator - not exactly difficult or super expensive to pull off.

Granted it's pretty uncommon setup as grid batteries themselves are pretty cheap too and used EV battery is simply too large for home user, too much hassle, liability, etc to save like $2-3k.

So we hating exports now? Is this post-globalist forum now?

I work in Salesforce consulting ecosystem, notorious for producing awful code (occasionally passing project until you find someone code for $1 per hour (I kid you not)).

Now within last year it improved to point I can trust it produce decent quality that beats like 95% of human slop.

I took a steam train yesterday. They should be called coal train, because it was beyond disgusting. If you like fresh air - highly recommend to avoid such experience.

The disease is consumerism, not industry. As long as there is demand - there will be supply. AFAIK no people weaned themselves off fossil fuels yet. Even basics haven’t been solved yet in most parts.
