Or maybe boys aren't defective girls and the problem is a toxic and abusive school system using this as a way to justify drugging them into compliance.

You're skipping the giant forty billion pound pink elephant in the room: Boys are staggeringly overdiagnosed by a toxic and abusive school system as a way to justify drugging them into compliance. Give kids recess and reasonable expectations for work (and homework) and you'll see diagnosis rates plummet.

"It's an intention disorder, not an attention disorder". People with ADHD struggle with executive function. Their problem isn't that they can't focus, it's that they don't get to pick what they focus on.

>"Buy stock in storage units, where everyone will surely pack their parents china and other shit they collected but no one wants."

^ This

I found out when trying to sell some of my Mom's stuff for her move a few years ago. Absolutely nobody wants or cares about china, crystal, or silver (other than scrap value). Same thing with most antique furniture. It is all almost worthless.

>"Your typical CD is better but still not good enough - under perfect conditions it will outlast you, but the way most people store them you might be really disappointed when you try to read it a decade from now. You're also going to run into the issue that even 20 years from now there may not be a consumer 'CD reader' available."

Maybe? I occasionally read one of my 20 or 30+ year old factory CD's and none of them have ever had any issue. No fancy storage, just in their original cases in a cabinet inside my house (air conditioned/heated). Now, BURNED CD's (CDR) are a different story.... unlike factory ones, those don't seem to be anywhere near as reliable.

If you must have non-factory offline storage that lasts even longer, there is M-Disc, which my full-sized internal burner in my main desktop supports. Although I have never tried it :)

>"I don't have one either. I buy CDs to have physical media, and then transfer it to my computer and then to my phone."

Well, you have a "CD player" on your computer, then, essentially. I do the same thing. I have hundreds of CD's. New ones get ripped in Linux on my 5.25" half-height, internal BlueRay/DVD/CD SATA drive on my main home desktop, encoded/tagged, and then transferred to my digital collection that gets copied to every device I use (laptops, phone, car, work, etc).

I rarely listen to "streaming" services. When I do, it is just to screen new stuff out there. I prefer to own all my stuff on physical media, even though it is used only once and then stored in a cabinet.

Plenty of external USB disc readers/burners available out there, too, since most computers are not large desktops like mine anymore.

>"The design appears safer than simply handing passwords to an AI model, but it does not remove every risk"

Um, it sounds like you would be giving your credentials to "1Password" and THEY CAN apparently decrypt them to inject them. So do you trust "1Password"? I wouldn't.

If you didn't try to steal copper, your brain wouldn't be fried and there'd have been one less power outage.

...You're sitting here comparing an Iroquois village with a larger landmass and a tenth of the population to a country, and then being aghast at the difference in scale. Besides, since when does your igloo need electricity?

Merit should always consider strictly value.

>"Unifi has had several CVSS 10.0 vulnerabilities lately. Quite a lot of those devices are unfortunately still ending up part of botnets. "

All platforms have vulnerabilities, unfortunately. But from what I can tell, all of those are from the inside. Not from the outside. Every one of them is "with access to the network." So these are not things that are going to give outside attackers the direct ability to break into a Unifi controller on the outside of its firewall.

I am glad I finally retired my older Asus router last year, even though it was running a reflash, and installed a Unifi gateway at home. They seem to be very good with updates. I even turned on the Threat Detection and Blocking (Intrusion Prevention). Then also GeoBlocking (yes, I know they can work around that, but why make it easy?) The nice thing is this little box does everything I had before and TONS more, including running cameras, with no cloud-dependencies and no recurring fees.

Alas, my contribution to security will be fairly meaningless when there are countless other non-secured routers out there.

That is not a loan.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I've witnessed exactly this. What's really stupid is you guys think this is just a conservative thing. I've seen this happen in both tech and film (which I don't work in, but I've gotten to know several people who do.) In the film industry, most of that centers around the regulatory regime, a lot of it FilmLA related. What a conservative bunch those filmmakers are, amirite? And that Gavin Newsom warning about this...such a conservative.

One thing you very likely do not realize is how and when economic activity makes geographic shifts. You're living under this strange assumption that California has always been and will always be what it is. Just like Detroit.

I feel like talking to you guys about this subject is like talking to Russians about their special needs military operation. Like them, you only hear what you want to hear. A month ago, I made a post asking them how they're dealing with the fuel rations in Moscow and St Petersburg, they mocked and laughed at me saying there are none. These guys hadn't seen it in their particular neighborhood so they dismissed it as propaganda. Two weeks later, good luck finding any fuel, even in their neighborhoods. Like you, if they don't personally witness it, then it's not happening.

Right now we're very early stage into this. The first thing that needs to happen for a large shift like this infrastructure capex needs to be invested. That's already done. Next is the infrastructure to accommodate it needs to be built. That's what is currently happening.
