Youre complaining that they attempt to advance technology to acquire marketshare?

Yes, it is a colossal industry wide issue of “needing” a new product in a rapidly decreasing window regardless of the utility of the product.

Ha, that’s the funny part. They could have kept pumping out AM4 and taken market share slowly over time while making normal money, making normal jobs, but noooooo line must go up every quarter. So we instead got new products that are twice as much money (when ddr5 came out) that are less stable and not much better, and then to make line go up more fuck selling to people lets all do AI bullshit instead. And now we are in a world where now there is no current viable product, less jobs, and less money people are willing to spend on things that cost 5X what they should.

Still runs everything well, so why not?

Its wild to me on how little the actual need for ddr5 is in regular memory. As far as generations go I can not think of a lesser uplift. With how poor modern software has become with memory efficiency maybe they just thought you can out ram everything. But the speeds of ddr5 just are not realing needed for users. I have never seen someone bottleneck on ram speed for a very very long time.

Another thing is, let’s not infantilize individuals within these situations. They are not a child. And in essence, age has no meaning here, criminal scum like this will assault anyone who opposes them.

The young woman in the choke hold is in high school and a child.

A Change.org petition demanding the resignation of Quakertown Police Chief Scott McElree, who was captured on video choking a young female student, has exceeded 7,800 signatures as of this writing.

Oh, yeah I got a feeling this is why we don’t see more resistance. Not sure why in light of all that is going on anyone would think a non binding petition ran by a company would be the appropriate response to (in plain view) the head of local law enforcement choking out a child then when the children stop the assault round them all up and disappear them.

Wait, this is even dumber then it looks like. Under this crap unmarried women will be unaffected but the more traditional marriage types will be hooped. So this will remove the “trad” wife votes but not touch the ladies in say the local polycule. Gee I wonder if all the single/divorced women will be more or less likely to vote for the red party?

As someone that has been on my local library board… I got bad news for you on that one. Libraries are culling books like never before, facing licensing issues like never before, and funding issues like never before.

If I can find the lawsuit sure, It was just a footnote in a suit about 5 years ago. Oddly I am having issues finding the coverage on it from before, but I do know that the suit was settled and was to include evidence of hidden backup “maintenance” networks if a smart device was offline/did not report after a set time. I remember it was a big deal at the time as it implied that device makers where building in support for these unlisted hotspots possibly across manufacturers.

There is a current case on the issue in general but not about the back door network tricks, not even sure if the backdoor was ever proven (the case was settled). But I know that these companies think they are entitled to our data and have little trust they would not do some sort of shit like this.

Well in the tv and fridge example they piggy backed on other networks in range using a backdoor. Like cellphones and other devices.

It happens, just wanted to point it out in case people trying it thought it did not actually work

You are missing the .com. part…

I noticed a few days ago when looking into americans leaving loaded firearms in ovens that we are losing archived news. I would find an article or story that is just missing now, all it is is a headline link to no where. And I have seen this trend on all things, we are losing the knowledge and for no other reason then the possibility of an extra dollar at some point. Take this and mix in the overwhelming amount of LLM generated bullshit pretending to be information tailored to peoples perceived interests (if you live in a religious area for example you see more religious bullshit) and we have almost inescapable silos.

I don’t think I need to explain how dangerous this is.

No need for magic, if samsung and sony can do it with tvs and fridges why would Meta (a company built almost entirely on and from user data) not use the same sort of tactics, maybe not the raw data but meta data I am sure.

Ha, look at this dood over here trusting Meta does not get the data on their devices though workarounds.

Wait, when did we all stop doing the alcoholic baby thing?

Many of them outside of the states are correct

But all that money can’t be wrong!

Great news! That is happening, McDonald’s has had a few bad years but takes longer.

I would settle for cheap again. I used to always have a go to wendy’s meal that was a small chilli, 2 spicy chicken snack wraps and a Jr bacon cheese burger with a small drink (you put the chilli in the wraps and burgers). Since it was all off the cheap menu it used to be well under $10, then it was $15, then $17 and the last time I was there it was just over $20, that is just not a thing anyone can look at and think worthwhile.
