Honestly, Apple was for years very anti-repair.
So the manuals are nice but that doesn’t absolve them for the decades of products designed to be hard to repair on purpose.
I won’t go full Rossmann but seriously Appol very bad when it comes to repairability and reliability. But they can release a few manuals and they are absolved for their bullshit?
It’s a start but Apple still makes purposefully hard to repair products.
It could loopback to you…
Honestly, don’t give them ideas…
If a business quite literally controls a country we are fucked.
I stopped using Signal when they dropped SMS support.
It’s a great project but with very bad leadership and strategy.
They definitely had the best shot to secure communications and wasted it.
The problem was solved by Nvidia, then AMD made it cheap and accessible and not requiring a dedicated hardware module.
For years and years Nvidia increased artificially by up to 150 euros many Gsync screens and for no legitimate reason. Initially there was NO compatibility with free sync at all.
Nvidia wasn’t kindly solving a gamers problem at least to after the first year of release of that tech. They were forcibly selling expensive hardware modules nobody needed or wanted. And long after freesync showed you could do it just as well without this expensive requirements.
This hardware module they insisted on selling wasn’t solving a technical problem but a money one.
I don’t even think anyone was ever able to differentiate between the different qualities of “sync techs”.
Also if you put “sensitive” information in your history by mistake you can use “history -d <line#>” to remove it.
Unfortunately I had to use this command too many times.
Trump chooses a topic, lies constantly about it and let people get tired fact checking. Would crowd size be on the news without Trump activating that subject?
I thought it was pretty clear China is an ally of Putin…
Didn’t Russia and China do a military exercise together very recently? Chineses bombers were photographed with a Russian jet escort. And it was pretty clear Russia and China wanted to be seen together.
They do deliver embargoed parts to Russia as you said and are training with Russia and not NATO countries.
China is an ally of Russia…

But discrediting someone’s opinion by just posting this meme is NOT toxic ?
So it’s toxic to assume someone might be a Russian bot but it is not toxic to disregard the opinion of everybody that said that ? You know there are bots online. Maybe not much here but there was definitely many on Reddit. So bots are real but someone that points out a bot must be wrong.
This is weird.
So yeah, it appears we shouldn’t trust what Putin says publicly.
Obviously, he could say he prefers Biden and then pull every trolling ressources available to make Trump wins.
This statement from Putin doesn’t have any value whatsoever.
He would say openly the opposite it would still be extremely unreliable information.
So basically:
Russian bots do exist but they are “not that bad”. Also if someone from Russia they are not necessarily a bot because they have a different opinion…
That’s all fine to have that position but who are you to tell other people if they encountered a bot or a real human being ?
Do you have any idea how prevalent Russian bots are ? What are their latest strategy?
I cannot answer these questions and you shouldn’t either.
The people you are bashing for pointing at “Russian bots” could be completely right. Their perception of internet is not the same as yours.
If anything it’s good that people are suspicious of any Russian information on the internet. It’s much better in my opinion than your alternative which seems to be built on contempt for people falling for bots and a very prominent ego yourself for thinking nobody ever got you.
There would be no reason to adhere to complicated EU rules everywhere else globally.
But there are a ton of websites that do adhere to complicated GDPR rules even though they serve 99.99% US based clients.
I think this has nothing to do with EU and it’s just some far fetched bullshit excuse from Microsoft.
Do not forget that accessing stuff on Google can probably get you to prison.
When you see something illegal on Google that should have never been published publicly you need to immediately avert your eyes and plug your ears. 🙉
Don’t be the next Aaron Swartz…
I care, what do you think I could do ?
Israël is backed up by the most powerful country in the world both politically and militarily.
Many people do care, it’s just not something they can fix.
We can donate to lessen the suffering but at the end of the day, one dude in the Whitehouse could probably get a cease fire in minutes if they really wanted to.
Seriously, some people are that good that you know they could do almost anything very well in a matter of days.
So why not ? I always have a lot of respect for someone that is willing to drastically change their lives in order to improve.
There were a lot of people making the case that anybody who can open your computer because they have your password (abusive partners included) could then have a lot of access to your activity.
Isn’t this true for any process with elevated privileges on your computer?
The valorant anticheat could just as well get all your data without you ever knowing it.
At the very least it’s better to have that feature in a secure setup rather than the Microsoft approach where it seems like an afterthought at best.
You know I’d rather people be on Linux where you can check what is going on rather than blindly trusting Microsoft (or Apple) that they only do what they tell me they do on my system.
I’m just saying that it’s not good to immediately assume what Apple will do will be as bad as Microsoft. They could take a bad idea and make it a slightly less bad idea.
Also security and privacy has very little value for the average consumer so it’s naive to think the feature won’t be used and useful to many people.
Most people give willingly their data to social networks so these kind of feature and their effect on privacy seems a bit pointless to me. If you don’t like that kind of feature maybe a closed sourced system is not for you after all.
It’s like people are worried about leaking data on what they do on their Windows computer all the while they already sent a ton of telemetry to Microsoft for years. Nvidia will happily scan all the apps you start for troubleshooting purposes.
Every little bit helps but I really think using windows and asking for your privacy to be respected is strange.
Windows 11 was already a privacy nightmare before this feature was tested.
I disagree, I think Apple will do this feature with privacy/security in mind which Microsoft didn’t do.
I absolutely don’t like Apple but I think it’s undeniable that they try to keep their OS secure. It’s still a golden prison but at least it takes privacy fairly seriously.
Microsoft didn’t seem to think about the challenges of that feature and it looks like a draft from an intern after a 1 hour meeting.
Obviously, something that scan a user screen has some implications that are hard to miss.
So yeah it’s easy to point at people and say they are fanboys. But in this case the fanboys would be probably right in the sense that Apple already did better than Microsoft when it comes to privacy.
At the end of the day both are businesses that you shouldn’t trust with your data but I would trust a lot more Apple than Microsoft for doing this right.
It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it’s not really a secret.
Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that’s also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me…
I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.
Isn’t your password manager tied to an ecosystem with Bitwarden ?
I’m surprised people trust third parties to hold their passwords.
Wasn’t there multiple password managers that got powned over the years ?
If you can sync Passwords you are also more exposed than some unhandy secure local password storage.
