Wait…you don’t audit every package and dependency before you compile and install?
That’s crazy risky my man.
Me? I know security and take it seriously, unlike some people here. I’m actually almost done with my audit and should be ready to finally boot Fedora 8 within the next 6-8 months.
I’ll wait for the financial analysts that I both trust, and I know hate Musk, before I have any confidence in answering that question.
But… my best uninformed guess is that it’s less fanboy worship, and more fear that Musk is the only thing propping up the insane stock valuation.
I’m assuming that Musk has a complex web of possibly illegal and highly engineered financial instruments that keep that stock pumping, or at least, not crashing - yet.
Maybe those who voted to approve might be aware, or involved, in that house of cards and believe removing Musk would be akin to blowing on it.
But I’m just pulling all of this out of my ass, so who knows…
It might be as simple as the majority of Tesla shareholders who voted to approve, including the institutional ones, are really just submental morons.
Every LG and Samsung major appliance I’ve had has broken within 5 years.
Refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers.
Prior, I only ever had 80s era American tank energy hogs. Switched back to American brands in the last few years, so too soon to tell if they’ll work out better…
Here’s to hoping.
Oh, and having dealt with LG warranty for both electronics and major appliances, I’ll never buy another LG product that isn’t a monitor.
LG monitors are the only higher end LG product’s I’ve owned that have survived well past the warranty date.
I maintain one baremetal Windows install that gets fairly regular use. It’s on a major OEM business class workstation with a legit Windows 10 pro license.
Recently, I had to wipe and reset and goddamn do they try and trick you into choosing all the worst spyware settings AND even if you successfully duck and weave past them, they’ll just cheat and enable them, or reinstall shit like co-pilot during an update.
They just made me sign into that shitty M365 app to install a legit subscription of Office, and on the next reboot, it converted the local user account into an online user account.
Make no mistake, Recall is going to be enabled by hook, or by crook, for the vast majority of Windows 11 users in due time. No matter how many times they disable it, or opt out.
Fumble what?
It’s a completely regulatory captured industry that makes the majority of its profit from being financially engineered gift card style quasi banking institutions via their milage program agreements.
This is just more cash off the top. Free $$$$.
What are you talking about?
This was definitely NOT a huge component of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It also definitely did NOT play into the Democrat’s delusion that any left leaning voters they lost by shifting to the right would be replaced by the GOP moderates it would attract.
Oh, and Chuck Schummer also NEVER repeatedly made these claims in public, or during media appearances.
So yeah, this is a bold and definitely BRAND NEW strategy.
No way it goes tits up.
Exactly, and I bet you feel fucking stupid as shit now. Don’t you?
Well, I’m not getting left behind this time. No fucking way.
I’m not waiting for the SCOTUS ruling to get in on this action. I’ve already got the ball rolling on all types of fraudulent and criminal financial dealings.
What’s the opposite of a statute of limitations?
I always setup my own new installs offline, with no Internet connected and assumed that the was the workaround this was referring to. Guess that’s my fault for not reading the article. I wasn’t even aware of the fake email bypass.
But my reasons were primarily because I wanted to disable as much telemetry as possible and tweak other settings before putting it on a network.
Energy generation has constraints, whether it’s fuel, processing requirements, or the infrastructure’s generation capacity.
At best, this is proof of concept that will revolutionize the environmental impacts of Big Tech’s new and even more environmentally damaging data centers.
But we’ve seen that dog and pony show countless times whenever the environmental cost of data centers gets too much press.
This is most likely just a cynical PR prop to wave around, as the rest of the AI facilities aren’t run so “greenly”.
Gee. I wonder what the difference could be…
But, don’t fear. As long as the current political trends continue, something tells me America might change its mind again… shortly after the new administration is inaugurated.
The value of the items was either high enough to meet whatever internal threshold they have for opening an investigation or they were already aware of organized tool theft rings in the area.
That, or they were bored and said “Fuck it, let’s do it”.
Zoom in even closer, there’s another related hidden treasure.
There’s just so many Easter eggs in this still frame from one of her interviews.
Amazing.
No kidding. When I read that, my first thought was, “He’s clearly at least above the median intelligence of his fellow Arizona GOP reps, if not in the top 10% of their entire conference”
Anyone who read the article AND has experience with the Arizona GOP, probably thought the same thing.
The Arizona GOP collects some of the dumbest people alive.
Even if you trust that one feature will actually be disabled, that was just one example.
Do you really believe you can disable and remove all of the numerous data collection and spyware components that are baked into all aspects of the OS?
I’m not saying no one should use Windows 11, but they should be honest with themselves about the trade-off they’re accepting.
The major problems isn’t Windows 11 usability, although those issues due exist. UI and workflow issues can typically get addressed, or mitigated, by 3rd party tools.
The real concerns are the exponential increases in spyware, such as the AI recovery tool that records all user interactions, or the native advertising inside of the system itself e.g. Start Menu ads.
If native AI data collection and advertising is baked into all nooks and crannies of the system, the ability of users to mitigate those threats becomes extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible to completely resolve.
Now hear me out, do you think that might have something to do with their market share relative to ALL other cars on the road?
When a KIA gets stolen, the owner will likely get it back, although probably a lot more worse for wear.
Thieves using relay attacks are most likely part of, or connected to, professional auto theft groups e.g. chop shops, overseas car markets, etc.
An appropriate SDR, or a prefab kit you can buy online.
Relay attacks on keyless systems are nothing new, plenty of documentation and articles you can use to read up on the specifics.
No, please don’t expand the horrific practice of labeling of people as terrorists to use as a scarlet letter and help the FBI/DOJ get around those peski civil liberties.
The equitable answer isn’t to expand the War on Terror to include more whites, it’s to end it and repeal the unconstitutional laws that passed to support it.
