The pricing is preposterous…no option to forego the windows license, and only a 12th gen i7 and 16gb ram for $1400…on plastic with a shitty keyboard and no IO? Why not just buy a macbook air at that point and jail break it?

Lenovo is absolutely stomping Dell right.

Trappist…the Belgian Beer System?

(Dude, get up, we’re building a spaceship right now.)

Ah yes, she has been wanting to control guns all the way back to the bans in California specifically targeted at the Black Panthers and the black community.

We’re one step closer to clean burning anti-matter bombs like from DaVinci Code

The man to whom unauthorized sudo attempts are reported.

Spoke to some EU lawyers recently at a policy meetup and this is pretty consistent with their prevailing sensibilities: target and dilute power that is being held over consumers.

TWO punch man!

Time for congress to take up this critical issue…oh wait…

Their brains are in a little fluid filled crash couch so they can slam the face knife repeatedly while their brain just gently jiggles around.

Whoops, my breath smelling like onions today…

Shit like this is why people will leave reddit and never come back.

And people’s age and background has so weirdly much to do with how they internalize nuclear safety risk. My best german friend is very opposed to fossil fuels and believes in much stronger renewable focus, but is absolutely opposed to nuclear and basically laughs about how stupid he thinks that risk is. It’s wild.

Especially when you realize how little impact Chernobyl and Fukushima really had. Even including those two accidents, coal plants have emitted vastly more radioisotopes (which occur naturally at low levels in coal, but since we burn such vast quantities of coal…) and vastly more carcinogens.

They are using the government to enforce an exclusivity agreement that is explicitly restricting the market.

It’s an unpopular opinion, but crippling platforms due to CSAM is a lot more harmful than what would happen if we did not have such draconian laws around it. Do people think there would be some dramatic explosion of CSAM? I don’t buy that for a second and the act of producing such material has always and will always be illegal, so like everything else, it seems ridiculous to prosecute the particular crime of posession.

Seize all funds received for distributing it, throw anyone involved in producing it in prison and throw away the key, and stop holding threat of social death over anybody’s head if some idiots throw a bunch of digital gunk at them.

Aside from the word “started” both are obviously true. We certainly did not start the war in Ukraine, but we are for sure using it to fight a proxy war.

It is fascinating that Zelenskyy has become the sole major voice of Ukraine to the west. Clearly Ukrainians hate Russians and many will die fighting to avoid the kind of oppression and genocide that would happen if Russia took control, but the idea that there is zero dissent and nobody just wants to surrender to stop the casualties does not pass the sniff test. Feels very political like the propaganda wars of the first and second world wars.

LDS is just wild and they are growing so fast.

Just think about those industrial meat band saws…they’re optimized for zipping through flesh and bone. Your finger will be gone in an instant.

Vegas at the Venetian…right next to a charming little infosec conference

New Zealand?
