I have one that crashes and resets itself a lot. My settings are mainly suggestions. It’s like a windows machine in my car and I hate it. Fucking Thinkware trash.

I would love a DIY open source option but I haven’t been able to find cheap available sensors that would survive a hot car.

Then again if the security really is this bad, maybe you could jailbreak and toss your own firmware on existing cameras. Hmmm

I think your missing the point of the neo. Prices are going up everywhere, but Apple has a lock in on the parts used to make that neo from older contracts.

So while everyone is selling shit based on the current landscape, Apple can take an older cell phone chip and ram and make an entire laptop out of it. The pricing pressures are different and they will sell like crazy because the consumer market just wasn’t important anymore…until Apple wanted it.

Love or hate Apple, this is a very good thing for the consumer.

New rule: printer cartridges, ink, paper, drums, or any supply needed to operate the device may not be sold with authentication features. The printer can not know any detail about what’s put into it aside from is or is not present. Done.

In other news, polymarket has a new bet on the ratio that make it back alive.

Sensible decision, since Trump will have managed to kill us off in a few years anyway.

If they can’t do it legally, they will do it illegally. Making it difficult just incentivizes resistance.

Iran has a different war strategy that the US is incredibly unprepared for. They spin up terror cells around the world using the atrocities commuted by their targets to justify their actions to impressionable people. The US keeps fighting this fight by giving them exactly the ammunition they need to keep fighting. Terror cells get fed into the mulcher but keep on coming back and the US pretends that’s a success.

I live in a hopeless country that has no desire to improve anything, just to conquer. Trump burning everything down is probably better for the world since we won’t have the power to abuse them anymore but fuck if he’s not going to kill us all in the process.

Oh no….

Anyway…

A lot of the pieces are already there.

Decentralized, fast, light and performant, encrypted but not anonymous: Yggdrasil Decentralized, slow, obscured identity: I2P Multi-medium bridging: reticulum

For most of us, Yggdrasil solves the problem. Going decentralized takes power away from the techbros that made this shit possible in the first place. You stop using their services they aren’t going to be happy and will resist the regime that cost them money.

For spreading news that powerful people don’t wants spread, I2P. TOR has been compromised for years now. I2P isn’t perfect. It can be taken down from time to time and it’s slow as balls, but it’ll allow reporters to be safer and for any evidence to be distributed so wide they will never contain it all.

Reticulum will help users hop across multiple mediums and at this point could be usable for adapting lora stuff like meshtastic applications into the network too. It’s most useful for jumping across different modes of communication. Yggdrasil is likely going to outperform this but reticulum solves additional problems Yggdrasil itself cannot so they are both valuable.

Whereas the rest of us learned to regulate our emotions during childhood.

You know, a simple ad campaign of some brave victims coming out and saying “I spoke up. I looked at the files. I’m not in the files.” could be incredibly powerful right now.

Wouldn’t even need that at this point. I guarantee Elon has a (likely illegal) copy. Simply apply pressure and wait for him to break.

You know damn well the GOP will weekend-at-Bernie’s this fucker. His followers will pull an Elvis-never-died-on-the-toilet. Evangelicals will say “he’s not dead, he’s sleeping” while trying to disappear him from a cave. He made everything still active in the GOP all about him. When he dies, it dies.

After November.

If he dies before the midterms, this will get so much worse.

Not yet. I need 8 more months out of this fucker.

I just need him to survive to November. Him being alive will drive the blue vote. After that, he can fucking keel over.

That requires voters willing to do that. That is the fault of the voter.

The mission statement is irrelevant when the outcome is the same. Google has data a hostile power wants and gives it to them whenever they want.

Anthropic put clauses in that were legally enforceable by future administrations. OpenAI says “yea we totally trust you bro”

In addition to the bullshit “count the number of bubbles in this bar of soap” tests, the IDs required to vote are not free, making this a form of poll tax, which is illegal in the United States.
