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

here’s a joint venture idea to Trump: your goal is to fuck off as much as you can with your buddy Israel, and Iran do the toll collecting. Iran get benefits from tolls, and you get benefits by stabilising gas prices over 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.

Sounds really unrealistic. Thousands of dollars is really cheap when it comes to storing 10 pb of data, i mean fucking hell at that price point dude would profit way more by being a cloud storage provider.

Seven. A.M. Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not, I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30…

Manufacturers have a certain amount of chips they can manufacture, let’s say they can manufacture 10 million chips per year. Normally they adjust for demand, like manufacture 7 million chips for consumers and 3 million for enterprise customers. Company A contacts them and says “We need 6 million chips for this year, here’s the money”, But the factories still can manufacture only 10 million chips in total, so they adjust their factories to manufacture more enterprise focused chips, decreasing the amount of chips manufactured used by consumers.

I’m pretty sure they have federation disabled entirely.

Upvoted because disagree on various parts. JB’s singing was super meh especially for its time. Taylor Swift is a good artist but hoards too much money by herself, BTS makes really catchy songs but K-Pop idol culture itself is super toxic and its top earners do not take a stand against all the fan harassment, company abuse and insane working conditions that new talents face every day.

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.

April fools

Makes no sense when fanatical exists.

ah yes, the good ol’ april fools

Have you tried sleeping in somewhere else, like a couch in a different room? It could the the bed/pillow itself that makes it really hard to sleep. External sounds could also disturb your sleep too, maybe try some earplugs before sleeping? My sleep schedule got fucked around the times a construction started near where i live and i couldnt sleep properly until I started using earplugs, though other comments suggest an possible ear infection, so I’d highly suggest you to consult a doctor before doing so

In an hypothesis where your neighbor could cause shake your walls by leaning side to side, the apartment itself would be way too weak and it wouldn’t pass any building inspection before being sold in the first place.

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.
