The obvious answer is to simply disconnect regions that impose internet-breaking restrictions. If a region believes the rest of the world is responsible for parenting their dumb children, and in particular they're willing to sue when someone else fails to live down to the standards they think their little sheltered idiots need to engage the world and that they're too incompetent to provision themselves, then merely politely tell them their entire region is insufficiently sophisticated to interact and pull their plug.

We really need a FOSS maintained "Gilead regions" IP block list, v4 and v6, for independent operators and national ISPs and DNS providers engaged to banlist those regions from interacting with the an internet that doesn't work for them. They have every right to decide for themselves, but not for anyone else.

I would love a pair of athletic sunglasses with a good action camera ability to add to my bike rides. If they do it right, they could put GoPro out of business.

I don't give a shit about the game play/AR aspects. Just let me see through, maybe with some heads-up Strava or RideWithGPS navigation. That's all I need.

FreeBSD powers my personal infrastructure and has for decades. It is easy to use, not bloated (too badly, though you now have to take steps to keep that damn Wayland out of a server, WTF, but you can with /etc/make.conf). Having eventually made the shift to Poudriere, the package and code management is very good. Fixes for maintained packages are an overnight thing, but some of the major upstream dependencies have the same level of responsiveness as in Linux - better than any commercial software, but not as good as pure FreeBSD.

Moving from SVN to git kinda sucked, but now it works well enough and gets the job done and keeps the Linux heads happy.

The US has access to a lot of lithium. That's never been the problem. The issue is that the US has virtually zero lithium refining capacity. China has lots.

Marketing wonks promising features that cannot be delivered. Apple really has become IBM.

The ride's been over for at least the past decade. Tim Cook was never Steve Jobs and the iPhone was really never all it could be.

If you get to the boot loop, you can reset the device according to its factory reset instructions. Not a great solution, but it isn't bricked. get th

If you don't the bootloop, you can fix it with a Connect/Sync cycle on your watch.

Bricked, by definition, means unfixable, as in "turn it into a brick". This, while not great, isn't bricked.

Er no.

Companies only want minimum competence to do the job and that's exactly what they get typically or sadly, worse because they assumed boot camp is enough to gain competence. Source: I worked in IT for 40 years, much of that in a management capacity. I saw way too many incompetent H1-B workers who went to boot camp, far more than among the group of university trained US programmers. It's the reason we fired entire Indian based contractor companies.

In almost all the states in the US, there is at will employment. That is, a company can fire you for whatever reason.

So, you can think you're justified in catfishing your company all you want.

They'll still fire your ass and you'll have nothing to say about it.

Apple AI hasn't even shipped yet. What a bunch of suckers and losers buying this crap.

whut?

Time out, it kinda got ahead of us, everyone needs a break. Just unplug the whole internet and let NIST catch up. It's not safe to be connected without a current CVE database.

Nah. It probably found instances of modern women talking about how their abortion allowed them to secure wealth and a nice career for themselves, and then correlated that with ancient practices of sacrificing children before demon-gods for wealth, power, and a good harvest, and then generated the image.

I wonder if the most influential data sources can be extracted from the system. I'll have to ask later.
Anyway, I recall that research has shown that if you limit AI to giving answers that only confirm with a particular worldview, the quality and accuracy of results goes down dramatically.
