If I had a car that had suddenly stopped working due to a careless update, I’d want it to be bricked so I could make the manufacturer pay for a different fucking car.

He’s deploying the military against his own people for protesting his crimes against humanity…

Yes, but also make it clear why you are leaving. And as dirty as it feels, don’t tell them their actions are irredeemable and they’ve lost you for life.

If you tell them you’ll never come back no matter what, then they no longer have to care about your opinion. You’re essentially telling them that they should start catering more-heavily to the fascists now that the only potential customers don’t mind them bending the knee.

States and cities try to criminalize recording police all the time.

The city I work in installed Flock cameras. City Council was clear they were only to be used to flag license plates for active felony warrants, silver alerts, and Amber alerts.

In less than 48 hours they were using them to give out tickets and track people who had turned in Open Records requests regarding the police department.

We won’t save your private information. But the third party services - some of which are owned by the same parent company as us - absolutely will.

But they don’t have the fucking power. They’re letting Trump do whatever he wants, and eroding their own authority in the process.

That’s what I was referring to by hacking stuff together to work.

Customers shouldn’t have to do that.

They even admitted they could’ve interdicted the boat, but chose to kill them instead.

It was 100% absolutely, unquestionably a war crime.

And even if Trump is immune, the rest of those involved are NOT. Some of them are lawyering up, because war crimes can carry a death penalty.

I wonder if it has something to do with how they count users with ad blockers.

And, increasingly, there’s no such thing as offline.

The more impressive thing is that they managed to get the Nvidia upgrade to be backwards compatible with existing Framework 16 models.

That’s the push I need to really, truly believe they’re committed to the goal of upgradablity. Too many “modular” products have come out where the “upgraded” modules were only available if you bought the newest version of the base product.

In the next year or so, I’ll probably be buying a new laptop, and this has convinced me that Framework is probably the way to go.

Apple has EU problems. Google got legally fucked in the US with the Epic lawsuit.

Didn’t they just lose a major lawsuit over their treatment of sideloaded apps and stores?

That’s the point. Musk wants control over the entire internet.

If all the other internet infrastructure was abandoned, he would be the most powerful person in history. Want to regulate him afterwards? He could just shut down the internet in your region until you accept his terms.

Well, at least they don’t already have an issue with organized pedophile rings operating within their state, right?

It’s not like they’re dunking the electronics in the water. They just need to filter it enough it doesn’t clog up the system and run it in a closed loop.

If I can have a closed loop with a reservoir for my home PC, motherfucking Amazon can build a water storage tank for their cooling.

Land is also relatively cheap.

Because the port and the associated internal hardware would take up a huge amount of space.

It’s not much space to a smartphone, but to a device the size of a watch, the USB-C port would end up being the largest internal component.

Wireless charging is the answer for most watches, though it means cases can’t be all metal and glass.

It’s not about porn games. It’s about allowing third-party private interests to engage in censorship.

If Valve were to ban porn games from being sold on Steam because they find them distasteful, I wouldn’t have a problem with this. But it wasn’t Valve’s decision. It was the payment processors who did it on behalf of interests that are apparently allowed to determine what is permissible on other people’s platforms.

That’s not okay.
