I almost got burned by this, bought some highly rated Bluetooth speakers as gifts, thanks to the extended holiday return window I was able to return them. The scam I seem to have gotten caught by is the seller initially delivers a great product, then once they have enough 5 star reviews they swap it for an inferior product not matching any of the listed specs.

Its probably more iops effecting performance than transfer speed, imagine going from a 4 lane highway to a 2 lane, of course reality is a bit more nuanced.

Nand should have better latency and write duration

Don't worry your kidneys are where you left them!

Interesting to think about... I wonder if there would be a snowball effect of O2 loss with losing vegetation on land and in sea, having an effect as temperatures rise.

Tiny changes could be relevant, especially over time, no?

Correct, it behaves very stupidly when it fails, it's like the outputs from the network are directly controlling certain characteristics, things like the tires turning back and forth in place, over and over, like it is stuck in the process of trying to make a decision.

I have an X and a 3, this is exactly how the car behaves when it has missed a turn because of a mismatch of map/vision data.

Because a computer was driving.

>Gaming won't lose anything by slowing down its graphics cycles.

It will miss that next generation of would be pc gamers. If the new gen is priced out, then consoles become more attractive, which means less games are made for PC, which then creates a chicken/egg problem.

I wonder if humanity's cognitive levels have been affected? [1]

That is true and on that point, Windows didn't have an integrated firewall until the XP Service Pack 2 release.

Ever since UAC was introduced Windows has been pretty secure. Having provided IT support for over a decade, I went from seeing viruses/worms infect fresh install Windows machines a few minutes after they were connected to the internet, without any user input at all, just a connection to the internet was enough (I'm talking around the XP/2000 days).

Now 99% of infections are from users being tricked and downloading and installing the malware themselves. The biggest help with that has been uBlock origin. The next biggest risk I have encountered is phishing emails and that is 90% user education, filters can only do so much.

I imagine in a Mad Max future older tech will be more valuable because there will be no need to jailbreak them to get them to function.

That makes sense. 'De-risk the purchase luxury computer' is such a strange phrase. Maybe it should be de-risk the purchase of a specialty computer? Hell an IBM PC could be considered a luxury computer compared to off brand IBM compatibles.

>When Apple was a niche PC maker, it needed the web as a way to help potential customers de-risk the purchase of luxury computers.

What does this statement even mean?

The longer it remains the less 'superficial' it becomes.

Not to mention some of the saved URLs may include sensitive information in the URL query string, including things like email address, physical address, etc...

There are multiple data points that can be used and/or correlated to determine location, including IP address, if permissions are enabled, nearby Bluetooth devices, nearby WiFi MAC addresses, connected cell tower, and of course GPS. Also they don't even need to be installed on the journalist's device, but their child/spouse/coworker/close friends would also do.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it as long as they do business in the US then they are accountable to US laws/regulations.

I think these Bitcoin exchanges need to be regulated the same way banks are, or we are going to see a repeat of the early days of banking where banks would disappear overnight along with people's life savings.

All the money in the world can't buy talent. If the talented people don't want to work for or with you, then you end up just burning through cash while the untalented/less talented deliver a subpar product.

I was considering purchasing a Lighting if even as just a battery for my home, it was a really great value compared to buying a powerwall, plus you get a pickup truck!

Just don't use line breaks.

If FSD had been described as "a long-term, aspirational goal" I never would have purchased it, and I think many others would feel the same way.

My OG 2018 Model 3 and my 2022 X both have coat hangers and I use them daily, so my dress shirt doesn't get wrinkled by my seatbelt.

>Twitter subsequently reversed the decision, saying that it had updated its hacked-materials policy and would not retroactively apply it to the New York Post.

Well, it should go without saying but their architecture cannot be trusted at this point.

I don't even use 2fa for Twitter, I can't even login normally.

Can anyone else not login to Twitter?
