Or USA, apparently

On the contrary, we should keep using clearnet to keep it easy for newcomers.

Authoritarian countries like the US can just fuck off and the rest of us will be fine. I’ve been doing clearnet piracy with no VPN for over 2 decades now.

Also apparently the phone doesn’t radiate you while in your pocket, only on the can.

There’s dozens of sources, I linked the first one. The things they mention actually happened and have been corroborated by other sources.

She basically always agrees with Putin’s propaganda. Either she’s an asset or a useful idiot.

Used Teslas cost chump change in my country, especially older Model S which is the more luxurious model. Morally, I could justify buying a used one. I still hate the things though. And while I don’t care too much about my image, a nazi sympathiser is not something I want to look like.

I’m considering a Jaguar I-Pace or MB EQC instead. But if I can get a REALLY good deal on a used Tesla, I might consider pulling the trigger just because 2 euros per liter of diesel makes me spend twice what my payment on the Tesla would be and I could charge it at home.

Though I do love my current torsen-based Quattro so I’d ideally want an AWD car meaning the ones that fit the bill are about as much as the I-Pace. Which begs the question of which one is actually nicer to drive. Guess I’ll have to test drive them both.

Gabbard is a pro-Kremlin conspiracy nutter

It was a personal device apparently.

No backdoors here!

But the windows are all wide open and on the ground floor.

I do wonder if Vance would stop the Iran war if Trump died.

He holds some pretty nasty views, but I don’t think he’s anywhere near as insane as Trump. There was an interview during Trump #1 where he actually disagreed with quite a bit of Trump’s shit IIRC.

That doesn’t mean that I think he’d be a good president or that he’s a good human being. Just that he might be quite different than Trump. Probably continue or accelerate the ICE bullshit, but maybe stop the stupid ass war in Iran?

Are they hurting? They still made a massive amount of profit, it’s just that their lead is shrinking. They’re still the biggest EV manufacturer by far, though Geely could catch up in a few years.

It’s not just cars. Electric cars became somewhat widespread before electric scooters. Those are awesome for getting around town quickly and are only feasible because of how cheap batteries have gotten. Cars could hide the battery cost easier than scooters, which you expect to be cheap.

And of course other forms of electric mobility too.

The only one of those that is locked behind a specific Windows edition is Credential Guard, which only works on Enterprise and Education because it has to do with auth tokens of the domain, not local windows login AFAIK

The rest are locked behind hardware features like TPM and UEFI settings like secure boot.

I hate Microslop as much as the next person, but they do actually try to push their security features on everyone because of the reputation they’ve had as the most insecure OS.

You CAN self-host a search engine, look up searxng.

Yes it’s a metasearch engine, but so is Kagi for the most part, their own indexes don’t cover everything.

To be fair, a coal rolling Duramax is pretty expensive to feed.

Your linked AI slop post has a LOT of assumptions and it’s kinda expensive. If the total system capex is 50k for 1 kW load, it’ll be 500 million for a modern 10MW data center. Then covering the deficit off employee BEVs for peanuts a kWh: That assumes you have enough employees for that and that they’re willing to wear their batteries for this.

But yes, the whole ethanol requirement is stupid for a country that has its own oil anyway

Pretty much. It’s not for everyone. I don’t have a watch myself anyway, but I use the speaker option on my phone sometimes… But only at home when I want my hands free but don’t have headphones on when I get a call. I hate everyone who does this in public.

With the Apple Watch, there’s a fairly loud speaker and fairly decent mic, you can pretty much talk with the thing on your hand. No idea if this can do the same though.

Smart watches often have mics because they can be used to take calls without having your phone on you (still has to be near you unless it’s a cellular smartwatch), or to use the assistants or whatever.

The PineTime (Pro) is the one place where this shouldn’t worry you because whatever software you’re running on it was installed by you so you’ve hopefully vetted it for security.

I bet your phone also has a mic.

Okay, yikes. I didn’t think it could be THAT bad, but I guess Oracle never fails to surprise.
