I don’t think businesses are going to be getting any CPU’s to make new PC’s during this shortage either. The average budget laptop cost has skyrocketed.

CPU upgrades? What CPU’s? Are the CPU’s in the Microcenter with us, Microsoft? Can you show us on the shelf where the mystical CPU’s are?

Is the shortage a mirage? Our imagination?

America hasn’t won a war (or conflict even) since WW2.

He’s a man shaped entity with the brain of a dementia riddled geriatric because that’s exactly what he is. That man has so many health conditions the only reason he’s not dead is they’re fighting over who gets to kill him.

1. This means they had to verify my teenager is a kid. I don’t want it collecting information on my child.
2. This means that they also have verified I’m the parent or legal guardian of said child meaning whether I use Instagram or not they are collecting information on me, and I don’t want that either.
3. The algorithm for Instagram is a major direct contributor to suicidal ideation and this does nothing to fix that.

No thank you. Burn it with fire.

So, whether they store the information or not, the information may not be encrypted while being processed (lots of IoT tech doesn’t encrypt data streams, and some of them don’t even have a firewall between them and the internet).

There’s no good reason for them to need Internet access to sweep or mop your house.

You mean Xitter doesn’t hand over data without a warrant when it can harm their products?

Or just ignorant.

Not exactly. Princeton NJ and the surrounding areas are quite wealthy. The wealthy/elites have decided they don’t want their places polluted or to subsidize the costs of these data centers. It certainly wasn’t Newark and Camden that fought and won this.

They may have done, but if you’re referring to the kidnapped woman who’s footage was pulled from the backend after they said she didn’t have a subscription, she had a Google Nest Camera.

I wouldn’t doubt that Amazon does this too but Google is just as bad if not worse.

I think this may depend on the instance you’re on. The “trans” spam bot hit up my sister’s account but she’s on fedia/mbin. I haven’t noticed the other abuses per se to be like. Rampant or anything.

But I also don’t check DM’s.

You’re right. But that can only last so long.

Didn’t Ford’s CEO just say they wanted highschool graduates who could do math to be automotive techs making $120K a year?

Plumbers already make ridiculous amounts of money because there aren’t enough of them.

The median age in my field 5-10 years ago was 55 years old and we aren’t getting an influx of new A&P licensed techs still. The main way the Aviation industry gets it’s techs these days is the military and that’s not even a sure fire way.

Like. CEO’s doing trades when? Because he’s clearly mistaken if he thinks that it’s not going to be CEO’s and upper management people who get their jobs replaced by AI.

They keep trying to replace engineers, software devs and so on with AI at all the tech companies and then having to back out of that decision to keep things running.

You don’t own a shovel? If you have hands, you can make a shovel. We will need the shovels for the mass grave after the elite are all gone. You know, so we don’t allow the spread of diseases from necrotizing flesh.

That’s not what you said. You said they never receive updates.

We lived with that because of the technology of the time and cost. An e-ink display of the equivalent size of a TV is gonna be expensive as fuck. And not do better than it’s traditional tv counterpart at video output for viewing. The other person mentioned monitors and those make sense because you’re generally using them for computer stuff which isn’t traditionally movies, television, or games. And if all you want to do is scroll the web and use it for spreadsheets, you’re fine there.

But gamers aren’t going to buy an e-ink display for gaming. And generally people who want to watch TV and movies won’t either.

I’d watch a movie on my phone before I tried it on e-ink.

My TV isn’t going to update because it’s been lobotomized.

It’s funny that you think smart TVs don’t receive updates. It’s got a wifi chip for a reason.

I doubt this. I use an e-ink android tablet as an e-reader. I like that it’s easy on the eyes. For using it to scroll Lemmy or even a web page, it’s fine. But the refresh rate (even on the best settings) makes watching a video or gif on it painful.

I don’t think anyone really wants an e-ink TV unless they want something that’s a hybrid. The things you’d use a tv for are just not e-ink things.

They also seem to have replaced their PR team with AI, given all the stuff he probably should have been coached not to say in this interview.

You’re asking them to put their livelihood on the line for your privacy. They’re gonna choose the thing that pays their bills every time.
