It will take decades if not centuries to get back to the amount of goodwill and trust the US had across the globe before this fascist felon took office… and we didn’t even have that much to begin with. He doesn’t believe in America First, he’s only goal is pushing us toward America Alone.
Swap is a thing. It’ll kinda suck, but not as much as it would have pre-nvme. Except that now there’s an nvme shortage… and an SSD shortage.
Ugh, I guess I’ll just put Windows 2000/ME on there to complete the retro look.
Seven Months. These men are likely dead, lost, abused, whatever. Who knows how many hundreds followed. This administration plays fast and loose and by the time anyone cares to keep them in check its way too little and too late.
This is my theory. The kind of stuff I buy there is all electronics manufactured in china/Asia anyway. I could buy it direct or from ali express, but Amazon shipping is hella cheap and fast and they actually do returns quickly and correctly.
TBF, US tech enabled US surveillance as well.
Always have been… but Google is just as bad, so installing Chrome isn’t going to help you there. Honestly, even FF or anything else on Windows wont even get you out of that fate. They’ve proven they take screen shots, likely log keypresses, etc.
This isn’t new or even newsworthy anymore. Being okay with these sorts of things is like, literally part of EULA’s and such for decades. And people willingly give up privacy in trade for whatever service or product they’re choosing.
As much as I would personally hate that, it honestly wouldn’t be a bad choice for my aging parents and my IT load when I visit them.
Linux is likely in their future, but thin clients for them would greatly reduce and centralize their compute considering what they actually need.
Honestly, No. I don’t want my phone making decisions for me or my kids. If its site by site, they can just go somewhere else.
As a parent, I’m far more worried about shitty social media algorithms that push narratives and online bullying and misinformation than I am about nudity. People have bodies, sex happens, it’s normal, whatever. I’d rather my kid learned about all that instead of being sheltered away from it until they turned 18.
If anything, normalizing nudity and acceptance of different body types is probably a good thing for kids to learn, especially females where a constant narrative of “skinny, pretty, perfect” is being shoved on them and shaming them for not being a super model is considered the status quo.
Let me make that decision as a parent, don’t try to protect my kids for me.
What troops are left are battle hardened, at least.
Personally, I never really counted the RP2350 as a successor. It’s a different animal completely. A 2040 successor would be something like 4x cortex-m0’s or a faster clock with more ram or whatever, the 2350 has completed different capabilities and components and can live along side the 2040.
I feel like the preferred one is the 2040 simply because it’s cheaper, and capable enough for the vast majority of use cases at this point.
Edit: yes I know RPI called their board using the 2350 the pico 2, but the 2040 chip itself is used in more places than just the pico and not every one used the 2350 as a v2.
To be fair, that perfectly describes the US as well.
This is where requirements as part of the data center zoning and purchase agreements comes in.
Pod racing?
Damn, we’re so great we can’t even use our own water!
I want to follow this, and I sorta do… but ADHD makes the P,A and other A basically the same category. And the R is just “stuff I put down to look at but haven’t yet”.
A few years ago I got a spam call from my own number. Who would fall for that?!
I run it in a container on Kubernetes. Definitely recommend.
Not sure if they still do, but PC Manufacturers used to get kick backs from every vendor they added shovelware for. For example, E-Machines was famous for it… AOL, Adobe, Office, shareware “pay to unlock” versions of games, Norton, etc. everyone sent checks to Dell, HP, Compaq, etc, just to peddle their wares for them.
