Had a kill command actually been sent, or does the device just not work without a remote server talking to it every so often?

Because the second one is probably worse from a “what if this company goes bust” standpoint.

Banned from Reddit for taking the piss out of the far right.

Deleted from ml for taking the piss out of the far left.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Been doing that for years. Unless you think everyone got magically more fascist out of nothing.

Practically inventing loot boxes.

Killing ownership of videogames.

The usual.

To quote a recent post “we taught computers to talk like middle managers and assumed that meant computers were sentient, rather than assuming that middle managers aren’t”

Wait, I had three vaccines for breakfast? Should I be worried?

That’s four goddamn numbers in a row!

Looking at the specs of it, it’ll likely be around PS5 level of performance for PS5 Pro pricing.

I just don’t want some company having a picture of me in my dressing gown getting ready for a big wank.

But in other news, VPNs are now really popular for some reason.

What version of Firefox does it install? I tried Ubuntu, but the Snaps are having real trouble with my N150 CPU in the mini PC I bought. Cannot do hardware video decoding at all, despite the CPU being more than capable of it.

Huawei: Fuck everything, we’re doing five folds.

But the fossil fuel billionaires are bribing them now. What’s the point of creating solar and wind billionaires in ten years time? Who knows who will be in power and collecting their bribes then.
