I don't know the protocol but old phone headsets had a 2.5 or 3.5mm jack with an extra ring that got you play/pause/hook/next/last.

Hypothetically that could have been implemented. I had a collection of Alexas that got binned as soon as they got caught spying for police so I never got that far. ESP32 is better for nerds anyway.

One thing Australia does right is a statute naming removal of features as a violation of contract requiring full refunds in these circumstances.

"Those of us who worry about our safety are less concerned."

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"

It's hard to believe that a Jordanian teenager learned the PeopleSoft vendor integration API well enough to exploit it.

Probably somebody whose dayjob is related.

Maybe he was just Vibesploiting, but it seems less likely.

What would you replace it with? It's not really useful for much else.

Driving around on the back roads to avoid the fires it was handy to have AM to find out which roads were closed. Once you get into the back country there's not much else besides AM.

Lots of areas without cell coverage or Starlink coverage, I just have to go a mile down the road to lose the last bar on the phone and there's trees that will block Starlink.

When I was young, it was Herbert W. Armstrong. He did have an interesting take. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Having recently taken a trip on a major highway through the mountains and trying to stream, cell service is too spotty to depend on. Getting on to a minor highway is even worse, hours of only AM reception.

12PM is fucking noon is when the fucking sun is at its highest position in the sky.

It has been like this for at least a millennia. DST is bullshit.

Live with nature and quit fucking denying it like a conservative.

The problem is other rights, some of which are as important as free speech or more important. Freedom of Association, the classic is the cupcake forum censoring anything off topic, especially political speech.
Some would argue that censoring spam is bad due to free speech, once again, fuck your free speech as I don't want to associate with spammers.
Security of body, should we put up with speech preaching violence?

That's one part of the equation! Satellite bus cost is another part of the 'magnitudes of order' reduction equation. Where I work right now is addressing that.

Stupid and malicious are different.

The offered narrative is "let us build the data center AI control grid now because it's only temporary until we can move it to space".

You and I both know that's not thermodynamically possible with known science.

So do the people saying it.

We have a real problem with Positive Projection where we are decent folks so we project that on people who are not. That is an error even though most people are decent folks. The parasites are not.

I only recent learned that Hanlon's Razor comes from a humor book about Murphy's Law from the early 80's. It's not some ancient axiom of wisdom - it is used by the Cluster B disordered to mask their nefarious deeds.

If you talk about this with most people these days you'll get the Positive Projection script executed like an autorun.

Everybody should turn off autorun whenever possible. Major risk.

> Gardasil

It's sold as an "HPV vaccine" but it only targets about 4% of HPV viruses, specifically the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer in women in their 40's. It's described in the Merck literature.

Not even the HPV most likely to cause throat cancer in men (usually acquired from lady parts).

If cancer treatment advances at the current rate (AI discovery docs estimate 9 years for the supermajority) it's possible that the Gardasil fatalities will have killed more teens than prevented deaths of women.

It's like a Drake Equation for cancer - the coefficients will determine the narrative either positive or negative. This is where free choice is ethically mandated.

Unfortunately there is considerable religious fervor about such things so very few people wants to scientifically discuss nuances.

Say more; be specific.

What is missing or broken?

Why isn't EU sponsoring specific features and fixes it needs?

Or assign some of their own developers to submit pull requests.

Or hire *some Europeans* who are unemployed because their war is killing industry.

Let's hear from their project manager instead of faceless wankers and the people responsible for sales.
