With how redacted the files have been so far they hardly need releasing. Would be more effective and informational to tell people to close their eyes and imagine what the Epstein files look like.

… Unless someone else at the DOJ feels like botching up some digital redactions again. Would be nice.

Honestly, I think consumers allowing manufacturers to start integrating screens into cars was a mistake.

Knobs and dials are way easier to nevigate blind (whilst focusing on the road like we’re meant to), and none of that stops you plugging in your own third party device for other features, or replacing the headboard yourself.

Giant tablets with complex menus are dangerous to drivers, and only serve to milk the consumer for things they already had access to in their car as standard not 10 years ago.

The NHS is chronically underfunded, because every successive UK government is determined to make the NHS do more with less - and at some point something has to give, which is why service declines every winter despite it being the same story every year, because the money isn’t there to prevent it

Personally I don’t think the feature consolidation was the problem. It IS still nice to have my music library, a camera, and a fairly capable computer all able to fit in my pocket…

The problem is we consolidated around specific device makers, letting them get too big and too comfortable - we’ve gone from being customers to being money chattle.

I’m worried how many people answered the odd numbers for an equation where it is only possible to end up with an even numbered answer.

Valve could’ve legitimately done nothing and still be winning in comparison to the big three, but instead they’ve slowly and steadily been helping the gaming community to give Windows the middle finger by making huge contributions to Linux gaming.

Honestly, its downright shameful how many companies have forgotten that a good way to make money from customers is simply to treat them nicely while they’re buying your goods.

Edit: Changed basically the whole comment, as you’re right. I looked at the Blog, and it does state in his FAQ that he had a backup. Which frankly makes a significant part of the article completely BS - as it makes multiple heavy implications that he didn’t have any backup.

This apparently happened with “no explanation and no recourse,” putting “terabytes of family photos” and their entire message history out of reach, as well as preventing the ability to sync work across devices.

He has copies elsewhere, so why would he be worried about losing access to this data.

Also, the end of the article discusses not storing all your data in one place…

If you store your photos and files in a single place, it’s a good idea to back them up to multiple locations to protect against something going wrong. But with how integrated devices are these days, it’s hard to avoid having all your apps, purchases and media within a single ecosystem. In cases like that, there’s not a lot you can do.

So it wouldn’t be wrong of most people to walk away from this article with the assumption that he didn’t have a proper backup strategy.

Everyone always learns the hard way, just the same as I did - one copy is usually as good as no copies at all.

For data you can’t afford to lose, the 3-2-1 rule is king. Original, cold local, and remote.

All I can do is pray that my current RAM survives long enough for this stupid AI bubble to burst, like with the Crypto-Bro GPUs.

But it is kind of horrifying how easily consumers have been priced out of the RAM market - at least for newer stuff anyways

Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don’t think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.

If one screen or fold point breaks, you’re now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.

Abso-fucking-lutely they should…

I don’t like the idea of a potentially world ending nuclear stand-off, but we’ve learned well enough from these past couple of years that having nukes is the only way to guarantee your country’s sovereignty against other nuclear powers.

LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I’m not surprised that people who don’t know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.

It’s not a necessarily a fault on those people, it’s a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses

Tell you what Nicole is really dedicated to making friends on here. Messaged just about everybody, with multiple accounts even. Definitely nothing suspicious about that /s

The fact that they’re still doing this means people are falling for it, and I feel sorry for those people, cause this scam is clearly designed to prey on those who feel lonely and are too naive to know better

Yeah. Was thinking why is Greenland so high until I remembered Greenland doesn’t even have 100k people in it, so any amount of homicides was gonna drag that number right up

They could’ve just said to withdraw the Navy /s

Honestly do it Russia. Them hitting first would be great precedent to start sinking all the Russian subs lurking around NATO territory

How the fuck do people keep giving him more money??

Most of his ventures are dumpster fires, and SpaceX only runs well because he doesn’t touch it.

It’s such a garbage argument when you can just counter with “okay then, release software which allows the public to run them for themselves”.

There are plenty of famous games, including Minecraft (only the most famous game in history) that manage to do that just fine. Acting like it’s impossible just so that you can force people to buy the next game is bullshit.

It’s a weakness in the sense that there are times this place turns into a straight-up echo chamber…

But when there is actual debate going on, it tends to be a lot more civil than on other sites (most of the time)

If I’m interpreting this right, basically YPG have mutual beef with Turkey, and thought they’d shot down a Turkish drone. Instead they shot down a US drone that had nothing to do with them (?), thus awkward stare memes ensue while Turkey laughs in the background

You make a good point. Even disregarding how well known Itch is, their registrar acted woefully incompetently by not even attempting to contact Itch.io about the takedown request (which is what Brandshield should have done in the first place)
