Even if they do, don’t be a dumbass and have your phone on you and be completely covered and approach the device via analogue method (e.g. walking, bicycle without a serial, etc).

How do you even treat that? Seems like a pretty permanently damaging toxin?

The cover of that book is something else hahaha

I was going to say, I thought open source 3D Printer designs/kits have been a thing for awhile. My friend just built his own last year using his original 3D printer to help in the process, lol

They’ll do anything but adopt firearm laws that are relevant and sensible.

When you’re a global criminal organization, you ensure immunity by blackmailing and/or extorting every single person in a position of power as much as possible. There’s a reason these monsters have gotten away with it–and continue to get away with it–for so damn long

I disagree. The bottom rung already states they’re no longer making excuses and even questioning it results in you being labeled a traitor. The step above the bottom is also when they stop making excuses, you’re just not outright labeled a traitor.

Edit: phrasing.

Also, I’d argue we’re even already at the bottom rung in many cases. Just look what happened with Mark Kelly reminding the military it is their legal duty to disobey unlawful orders.

Apple TV is the only streaming service consistently putting out good content at the moment. To me, it’s like how HBO used to be.

I wouldn’t be surprised if google/YouTube just bans all VPN IPs. They already make you sign in lately if your IP range has been “shadow banned.”

100% this. The guy was literally a consultant and a developer. It’d just be bad business for him to outright dismiss AI without having actual hands on experience with said product. Clients want that type of experience and knowledge when paying a business to give them advice and develop a product for them.

Turnitin is such garbage. I hated it in grad school in the mid 2010s, I can only imagine how fucking awful it is now.

100%. “Put it… INNNN” always cracks me up

What about it do you not trust, out of curiosity? And how do you ensure OS integrity if not using TPM?

As for the DMV thing: You sweet summer child.

Lol, dude, I’m in my early 40s. Go to the DMV and try bribing a government official and report back. Please. I beg of you.

Um, having direct access to pull my government photo ID is a huge deal. Lots of online services require photo ID or other more in-depth verification to pull loans and stuff. So yes, this new vector IS a serious concern.

And paying someone $50 at any DMV? C’mon, man, that sounds like some unfounded bullshit. Hardly anyone is going to risk a cushy government job with solid benefits and great hours for fucking $50, let alone the potential risk of going to jail.

Yeah, people already browse porn with zero privacy precautions, so linking their fetishes to them would be trivial. The main concern is having yet another privacy vulnerability vector for identity theft.

What is it from? Is Ahsoka the name of the show or the character?

Edit: nvm, it’s a Star Wars show.

More context needed. Sometimes my kids are savages, so yelling does occur on occasion. They’re usually pretty great, though.

Edit: yikes, people took my comment way too seriously. I don’t literally think my kids are savages, jfc. No shit, you shouldn’t yell at your kids. I typically don’t. But, I am not perfect, and neither is literally every single parent. We’re humans and there are days where we have shorter breaking points and our feelings get the best of us, especially when your kids are being super energetic, chaotic, and not listening to anyone. The important thing isn’t NOT yelling 100% of the time, it’s apologizing and explaining what happened to them afterwards when it does get the better of you.

I really tried to enjoy RDR2. It’s got some great qualities, and the acting, writing, and cutscenes are phenomenal. But… The gameplay… I’m all for slowburn walking simulator type games (e.g. I loved Detroit Become Human, among others).

But with RDR2, the world is so massive and yet there was no sense of excitement when finding stuff. You get just about all your upgrades fairly early in the game. There’s no sense of character gameplay progression. And after just a few hours of traveling around, it felt like I quickly had seen all the random event variations on the roads/trails (e.g. stop bandits hijacking a wagon, robberies, etc). I don’t know, it just felt like a hyper realistic GTA5: Western, but without all the plethora of goofy shenanigans that game has.

Tbf, those types of jobs have a higher degree of turnover and thus need slots backfilled more frequently. Trades jobs can be pretty fuckin miserable, especially ones that are incredibly physically demanding as you age.
