But Code is Law! It’s decentralized and trustless, I’m really disappointed with the victims for going to big government, with cryptocurrency there’s no need for government, lawyers, or banks. The blockchain clearly already decided that the ETH belongs to the two brothers.
Now my friends know I bought an Alienware device. I’m never going to live this down.
I know you’re being flippant, but it’s worth noting that there is a considerable difference between a company getting hacked like this and an app with unfettered access to the cluster to sensors that we’ve got in our pockets.
Perhaps “state managed” would be a better descriptor for Chinese private companies, since some now have personnel belonging to the CCP serving in management or board positions.
Isn’t every Chinese company partly state-owned?
Looks like it worked a treat. Do WeChat next!
A better battery would be nice.
There is no reason for CBDC to use blockchain.

Thank you for this piece of information. Nostr is not for me.
The way I see it, that number is a baseline figure for what their services would be offered for in exchange. If someone came up to me and said “here, I’ll give you $53 and in exchange you’ll let me surveil you for a year” I’d say no, but maybe someone else would’ve said yes. Then, as an experiment, maybe we can let the market take it from there, now that there’s a price and some form of discovery mechanism.
I read somewhere that they’d make it opt-out, but I can’t find that setting anywhere.
Get some people to write really passionately about moving off of it, apparently.
Probably because “installing unsigned code from an unknown source” is a mouthful. Installing implicitly means “from within the walled garden” on these devices.
I don’t use public bidets, but the one I have at home I would say is critical to my quality of life.
The piracy bugbear has been raised as the reason why corporations aren’t selling enough since mp3 was invented back in the day. It isn’t always the case. OnlyFans is pirated but the piracy doesn’t affect their bottom line enough to drive them out of business. If you think about it, lots of pornography on the internet is free, and they’re still okay. It’s a much more nuanced discussion than “piracy is stealing” than the corporations want you to think it is.
Edit: if I had to guess, the niche they serve or the value they add on top of “just porn” is something their customers are willing to pay for.
If doesn’t kill you, it would make you very, very sick.
I’ll get my friend to buy it from me for millions, then he can give the money back to me and when it sells again, we can split the profit. It’s win-win!
Understandable but this is not a fuse in common usage of the word, which is used to break a circuit to protect against over-current. Rather it’s an part that changes state irreversibly (much like a fuse would) when something happens. There is no implication that it would cut off the power to the CPU in this sense.
I’m nearly there, except I can’t get away from Google Maps. There’s not really any alternative here that provides public transport information.
