That’s always worth considering. A phone app doesn’t take a big operating budget to launch and maintain. Especially for state-actors.

That’s easy. It’s more dull here, and there’s less lock-in.
No, really. Social media without the dopamine-pump-style algorithm behind it is far less stimulating. Meanwhile, the Federation model itself allows us to abandon nodes that are co-opted by bad actors. So there’s always somewhere else to go with all your favorite stuff when things go sour.
The best take on Black Flag I ever read was something like: “It’s a great game, except for all the Assassin’s Creed parts.”
Whoa, you are not kidding. The toilet is powered (not so unusual for bidet toilets), but it looks like there’s no mechanical override. Just a ‘remote’ control panel with a flush button (among many other features). That I’m sure is hygienic.
The video is about how to bluetooth pair the remote to the toilet. There are so many points of possible failure here, I can’t even.
If only there was a better way…
I was gonna say. With a crater that large, we all lose.
“AI e-girl” you say? I know a contractor that might have what you’re looking for.
Yup. They’re called “Whole Paycheck” for a reason.
This moment calls for more beans.
I know everyone points out the problems with Nest, Ring, and various talking/listening/spying agents. For me, one of the worst offenders was a garage door motor that came with WiFi capability. Damn thing has the ability to just open up a door on my house on command. There’s no way am I putting that online.
Workers risk a few things, depending on the job:
These have a lot of dimension to them, including how one quantifies what “pay” actually is/for, what legal restrictions there are around taking the job (e.g. non-compete, non-arbitration), work/life balance, and so on.
Risk comes into play where the employee takes a bet that the job won’t destroy their health, work only as much as is absolutely necessary, and have taken a position at the optimal balance of responsibility, personal growth, retirement prospects, and income. It’s a risk since there are substantial barriers to changing to a new job, so you can wind up “stuck” in a bad position, but can’t know until after you start.
Combining “company quarterly review” with “dental cleaning”, while time efficient, is a kind of sensory combo that’s right up there with “nuts and gum”. Sounds great until you think it through a bit.
Edit: I’ve actually done the latter by accident. 1/10 - “I don’t know what I expected.”
This is what I keep telling the Mrs.
What’s crazy is that not only is that the same species as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, but practically the entire plant in that photo is edible.
Computer Scientists: Physics is just the application of discrete state machines.
Okay, but do I really need to draw this many circles to prove what value Pi has? Also, it’s all in Greek.
What we want: OS updates that make the system more performant, more accessible, easier to use, smarter at using battery power, and more secure.
Apple: Let’s make everything an unreadable mess and tax the GPU to shit just for fucking UI elements, because we’re out of ideas.

I’m going to say that every layoff has a cover story. The goal, reduce the workforce make/save money, is really the only justification needed. Everything else is PR, and an attempt to stay out of legal hot water.
