“OP wants to pay an American middleman to import the Chinese junk for him”
Listen to the episode from last week “why cynicism is bad for you” … you’re on to something with your post here that is covered a lot in the episode.
Do you listen to The Grey Area?
I play a fair amount of games, and picked this one up because of all the hype. I probably played 5-6 hours, but the game just did not grab me. I’ve tried 2-3 times to get into it, but it’s not clicking.
To be fair, won’t this be an issue for all EVs?
Two different things. Money’s usefulness is in its scarcity and authenticity. So, making fake money identifiable by making real money harder to reproduce renders the fake money worthless.
Unfortunately, adding a watermark to a gun doesn’t really stop it from being a gun.

Memory safety for one. C is very memory unsafe and that has been the source of a great, great number of software vulnerabilities over the years. Basically, in many C programs it has been possible to force them to execute arbitrary code, and if a program is running with root privileges, an attacker can gain full control over a system by injecting the right input.
I have very limited knowledge of rust, but from what I remember writing memory unsafe programs is nigh impossible as the code won’t really even compile. Someone else with more knowledge can probably give more detail.
This is dumb because it’s not comparing the 16 Pro model. The 16 is the budget model. The pro model has many of these features like the 120Hz display, but I guess you need to omit things to get people outraged and upvote your silly meme.
Also, who tf even uses USB? I haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer USB data in 8 years. Literally everything is streamed. But, I’m glad you’re excited about your USB speeds.
As for storage size, I’m on the 128GB, but I use half that because again, everything is streamed and in the cloud. Photos automatically get backed up to the cloud and offloaded. I don’t even think about it. But, I’m glad you’re excited about popping and swapping SD cards and manually transferring data to your hard drive. Seems tedious.
This is the issue with Android users for me — you’re all computing like it’s 1998 still. These factors you’re comparing are irrelevant to 99% of phone users.
3.5mm jack? Who uses wired headphones anymore?
Now let’s talk about what the Android can’t do that random iPhone phone can. Does it send messages via satellite? Looks like no. Does it call 911 when you are in a car accident? Nope. Does it have built in generative AI that connects all the context of your calendar, mail, messages, photos, etc to intelligently help you organize your life? Nope.
The iPhone does though. Because Apple knows those features matter more to the lives of their users in 2024.
But, tell me more about your USB port and SD cards. Who is computing in the past again?
I hope more goes towards going after rich tax dodgers. The more you drain from them, the less resources they have to fuck up our government.
Can’t they work it out? I don’t want to use Google hardware and I don’t want to use Google software. One provides one fix the other lacks.
Yeah - I never would buy a German car again in my life. Had a VW Jetta that died at only 130k miles. I’ve watched friends with BMWs get stuck with $4k repair bills with only 40k miles. The only reason they sell these days is because of this perception that they’re “luxurious.”
So as long as everyone is complicit, no one will report
Normally you’d say she was killed by the IDF, or Israel shot and killed an American.
Instead the media makes strong use of passive voice:
Witnesses say Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was fired at by Israel Defense Forces soldiers positioned in a nearby field
I wish it didn’t have to be that way, lol. Can’t we have some quality third party hardware?
Call me crazy, but I don’t think children should own guns.
What happened to his hair?
I see multiple courtroom sketches of him in the article, but the fake one is linked on X
