The issue isn’t the Labour Party it’s the entire country. Brexit has been a disaster, energy costs are through the roof, housing is becoming more costly, and there’s been no real economic growth in a decade.

But no one wants suffer the temporary pain to make the reforms needed to change it. They just want to grumble and say the current leader isn’t any good before moving onto the next one, rather than admitting they might need to actually accept some change in the country.

It’s a bizarre take.

It’s not functionally useless, it supports a mouse, keyboard, printer or even an iPhone (non pro) perfectly fine at full speed. It also probably has enough speed for the average cheap terrible quality USB drive that the buyer of a $600 PC might have.

This is a Silicon Valley tech geek take not a real world one.

Tiny airport, on island with tiny population, thats not a major tourist destination, thats subject to competing territorial claims, that had a major war fought over it in living memory, has extra security requirements and a poor terminal...

I'm flabbergasted, this is absolutely shocking and outrageous!!!

I would much rather see the penguins in the maldives!!!

This. They make excellent access points and their lite beam/air fibre products are great.

But UniFi has serious limitations when it comes to anything beyond the basics. An off the self Asus all in one home router actually has more features and capabilities.

Ryanair doesn’t have sneaky feees. It’s entirely possible to book a flight with them for the price advertised and first quoted when you search. They do prompt you to pay for heaps of extras but there are none that are unavoidable.

The real offenders are ticketing companies that charge mandatory service fees or convenience fees without providing a way to purchase the item at the advertised cost.

Denmarks largest export is Ozempic. Ignoring IP rules will hurt EU producers too.

How do you plan to ignore IP to hurt American tech companies. I guess if you allow piracy of all of netflixs content that would work (but same thing would hurt spotify).

Most tech companies are not protected by IP but by network effects and vendor lock in. It would be far simpler to simply implement a minimum tax on revenue or advertising spend in country to extract value.

Good to see that Trump will be providing subsidies on goods imported from Australia to balance out the -107% trade relationship they have with them.

Oh wait its a 10% tariff on Australia too. Better make a new version of this chart with a -117% benefit to the US then...

actually buy on merit and cost.

While remembering that when you wanted to use what you purchased to defend your ally in Ukraine your supplier prohibited you. Lets see how much merit there is in any US purchase with that in the background...

Going to deter war in Asia by simply telling China, go for it, take Taiwan and the whole 9 dash line?

That’s not deterring war, it’s appeasement. Ask the great European powers (and eventually the US) how that worked against Hitler…

You can easily just add a case with magnets in it. Even iPhone 16 Pro cases often embed magnets in them to compliment the built in ones.

I'm guessing you might miss the cool animations but for charging and mounting it will work the same.

There's absolutely no reason for them to introduce a new mechanical camera system. They previously marketed their cropping of the center 12MP of their 48MP sensor as 2x optical zoom. They will use the same method here.

100% this. Yes, Hector went nuclear, but he begged Linus to step in and provide leadership (either merge or reject) and instead Linus ignored the whole technical issue with regards to rust being totally blocked.

Even now with Hector out of the picture, there’s still no suitable path forward for rust in Linux. No wonder why people are giving up (exactly what the blockers want).

Well, if anyone broke the law or harmed him he needs to go to law enforcement or the FBI

I think it's naive to suggest this would achieve anything when the platform is anonymous and he was based outside the US.

Outside of that, just get used to be thrown abuse of all kinds.

This is far easier to say than to do. Particularly when you have a public profile as part of your work.

If you get tagged by a group like that the more you talk about them the more you give them ammo.

Agreed but that still doesn't make it easy to ignore.

M2 upbringing was like 10 hours onstream, M3/M4 would not take any longer.

You have NFI what you're talking about. There were major architectural changes in M series chips between Avalanche/Blizzard (M2) and Everest/Sawtooth (M3).

I don't doubt him about the stalking problem (by online trolls, not necessarily IRL). He was a prominent voice in the trans supporter community and was regularly attacked by Kiwifarms.

Do we expect the social media ban implementation to be any different to the 18+ restriction on pornography? Personally I doubt it. Real enforcement will come from parents and schools now having authority to stop kids instead of currently being told “but all the other kids have it”.

There does seem to be an opportunity for a big tech companies like Apple and Google to introduce an over 18 verification that’s built into the browser but remains fully anonymous after initial verification.

Most over 18 verification schemes have faltered at the point where adults are asked to verify their identity to view among other things porn. If it was cryptographically proven anonymous there’d be much less resistance.
