Try being in one of the many countries where whatsapp is the only path to get service from companies (banks, utilities, etc).

Even better, try living a modern life as a tourist abroad without a phone number. You can’t get transportation, even public (and there is no physical payment option), you can’t order delivery, you can’t pay with credit cards online because you need to auth with sms. Everything requires an account and everything requires sms.

It’s not just about privacy of your personal texts. People are putting entire societies in the hands of tech/telecom and demanding we identify through unsecure methods. Having a smartphone with a phone number and whatever is the main local app is now mandatory. Single point of failure everywhere.

Fireship maybe? It is not that complicated, they just make a good cheap AI and big tech is panicking because they can only make good expensive AI

I took it as “don’t pretend we don’t have censorship too”

Fala umas opcoes boas ai, nao fabricadas na china, de:

• extensao eletrica
• adaptador de tomada
• tv que da pra fazer reparo
• celular com bateria removivel
• air frier
• lampadas
• arvore de natal (Pensando nas coisas que comprei nos ultimos tempos)

Sim, tem bens duraveis de marcas boas, mas 90% das coisas hoje em dia sao consumiveis. A maioria das coisas tem peças de plastico que quebram e voce fica na mao, ou eletronicos que nao se acha mais depois de 2 anos, ou feito de um jeito que é impossivel abrir sem danificar mais.

Quando possivel eu compro coisas de qualidade mais alta, mas é mais pelo desempenho que uma expectativa de durabilidade.

Isso ai é mimimi americano.

Nao é boicotando os chineses que a situação de trabalho vai melhorar.

Como outros apontaram, varias empresas de primeiro mundo fazem a mesma coisa (ou compram dos chineses que fazem coisa errada e revendem).

O que me preocupa mesmo é a falta de opcoes de qualidade para certas coisas. Produtos duráveis, com baterias substituíveis, peças novas, etc.

No mercado atual, entre comprar algo chines barato e ruim ou algo americano caro e ruim, nao faz sentido nao comprar o chines

You said some control works well, so it might not be your case, but i will leave the info here for others too.

Make sure your display is set to low latency like a “game mode”, otherwise you get massive input lag

Backblaze reports are cool

Microsoft having IE/Edge as the default browser has already cost them in the past. I don’t think Apple faced anything with Safari.

The problem today with chrome is how prevalent it is and how that influences the main product of the internet (advertising), which happens to be Google’s mais product too. Apple can at least make the argument that they make their money with the hardware, not the browser.

Either way, I think all OS should at least give you a list of browsers on first use to choose from.

Btd6 is the most well maintained td game out there, super competitive, and you pay like 1 dollar once and can have literally everything unlocked. You only pay for cheats to use in single player. It is one the best monetization I have seen in a game.

But you do you, I guess

Only think I know is that fragment size can’t be too small, maybe you can argue that a nail is untested and thus can make micro fragments? Curious to know why this wouldn’t be allowed

Edit: looks like there is a general ban on “unnecessary suffering or superfluous wounds”, so if the nails are strong enough to injure but not kill, they are prohibited.

Access to my main email account (outlook) is currently blocked because someone decided to try a password from some earlier leak and locked it. It can only be unlocked with SMS MFA, which I can’t use because I’m travelling abroad. There is no other way to do it. The other option they give you a form that only works if you don’t have MFA set up (it says so on the faq). I even asked someone to fill the form from my home computer so the location data matches earlier accesses, but didn’t work. You also can’t contact support without logging in. If I had lost/changed that phone number for any reason, I would lose access forever. Luckily I will be back home soon.

stop sharing your library with strangers and kick your brother’s ass when he gets you banned

when you play a game that multiple people have, you can choose which copy is being used. The owner of that copy and the one playing get banned

elon musk was asked to point a legal rep and show up to answer questions about spreading fake news and promoting criminal activity. He denied point out the rep or participating in the investigation at all. There is some backlash as the judge gave the final warning on twitter since there was no legal rep, which would be a first.

so in a possible hostage situation as far as IDF claims (the hijacking), you bomb the bad guy with hostages? got it

tldw: this is not a law or even a draft, it is a suggestion to lawmakwrs to start discussing the subject. the wording on it will not be carried over if it passes.

you don’t see the ad and think “wow, that athlete is holding this one brand of cheese, I’m gonna buy it”

you mentally associate those two, and when you go to the supermarket, you see the brand and buy it out of instinct, since that brand gives you a good feeling subconsciously.

or if you ask yourself “I never bought parmesam cheese before, which brand is good? oh I’ve seen this one before, it must be good”

I’m not finding it now but there are some shorts where the guy gives a tong to teenagers and they don’t double clack.

also no double press on a drill.

this generation is lost man
