So what I’m gathering here is that you do indeed have vampires inside

Little of this, little of that

the first thing I’d do would be login (cause it’s necessary), enable adb, disconnect the internet, block firmware updates, and restrict dns then reconnect to the internet.

You have to realize maybe a small handful of people that own these devices will do any of that. They’ll just plug in and go. Sure they may know how to side load, but they aren’t taking any other preventative measures as you suggest, nor do they have the know-how to do so.

I’d imagine Amazon initiated these via firmware updates that just about anyone would blindly install. The updates probably included scripts to uninstall any “unauthorized” APKs, disable developer options, restore factory system settings, lock the user profile from modifying the system, etc.

He’s drinking half and half

I’d love to see humanity collectively rise up and tell the wealthy and powerful where to stick it, but it’s important to remember that some small group of dickheads have been vying for control and domination of everyone else at some point for pretty much the entire existence of humanity. This is merely just the next iteration of that.

But it’d be fucking rad if we could finally break that cycle.

A couple tabs of acid and you can do whatever you want

That’s from The Truman Show, yeah?

It really does just look like heat dissipation from rooftop heat exchangers, not gasses out of an exhaust. I’m sure that building uses (and wastes) an ungodly amount of power, but I’d imagine it’s grid-tied, and therefore any noxious gases are being generated elsewhere (with the exception of on-site backup generators).

I’m all for telling AI to fuck off, but let’s at least have the facts straight.

Yeah, but the sad part is is that way too many people will blindly follow suit

Fuck that, they’ll have to kill me before I leave my home.

BROJOB

Usually I see them go out due to brief power flashes and none of them have even a CMOS battery -esque setup where it can simply retain the time during a power interruption, which is likely a result of your point.

It’s ok, i see at least one hardhat

Archive.is usually works for me

I’d certainly hope so, but the idiots that I have the unfortunate necessity of dealing with are way too dense to make that connection.

VIDEO calls

One of the bigger reasons I don’t want an iPhone. I’d much rather talk than text as it usually is quicker, but I hate video calls.

Cept for that mall ninja junk, that stuff’s just silly.

Unfortunately, showing a brick to a fascist’s face will likely just reinforce their bullshit. Still effective though.

Genuine question, where else can you find a slew of car repair videos?

Those $10 slots can get ya
