It is indeed a great documentary. Ironically, McNamara happily agreed to be interviewed for it. I haven’t seen it in over 20 years, but I just remembered being absolutely repulsed at how completely unfeeling the dude was about everything.
What about it do you not trust, out of curiosity? And how do you ensure OS integrity if not using TPM?
I don’t think greed is the only answer. There is a legitimate demand for food, and pests are constantly adapting to various pesticides. I think the answer is greed and some other nuance.
McNamara was truly one of the most cold-blooded sociopaths in US history.
As for the DMV thing: You sweet summer child.
Lol, dude, I’m in my early 40s. Go to the DMV and try bribing a government official and report back. Please. I beg of you.
Um, having direct access to pull my government photo ID is a huge deal. Lots of online services require photo ID or other more in-depth verification to pull loans and stuff. So yes, this new vector IS a serious concern.
And paying someone $50 at any DMV? C’mon, man, that sounds like some unfounded bullshit. Hardly anyone is going to risk a cushy government job with solid benefits and great hours for fucking $50, let alone the potential risk of going to jail.
Yeah, people already browse porn with zero privacy precautions, so linking their fetishes to them would be trivial. The main concern is having yet another privacy vulnerability vector for identity theft.
And I would wager those items they’ve eaten the cost on, is what they’re seeking compensation on.
Stardew Valley is already on iOS and Android. But yeah, I do think there are a lot of modern indie games with simpler graphics that would be completely fine. Hell, they just ported Dredge to Android (not sure if they did on iOS or not and too lazy to Google).
Oh for sure, but I don’t think phones that have Snapdragon 865 or higher/equivalent aren’t exactly the norm for older phones people just have lying around in a drawer. Regardless, ARM support for SteamOS is great news, IMO. Really opens up a lot of possibilities for stronger phones.
I have doubts that it would work well on the majority of older phones. I would think that the lack of a sizable memory pool would really be a hindrance to performance, let alone performing well for games. Hell, even on the Steam Deck, I have had to use Cryo tools to increase the page file to expand available memory in a couple of games to avoid crashing problems.
As for retro gaming, there are countless emulators already available on Android that work quite well. I can even play PS2 games on my phone surprisingly well.
Er… Boomers would’ve been the kids being spied on in the 1960s…
I don’t think I could trip on a Sunday before a Monday workday. I need a solid 24h afterwards to fully reset. Been a few years, though. Probably about time to find some psychedelics and go on a journey…
Wording it that way does really put it in perspective. Absolutely insane estimates for what they “need” to continue operating for the next ~4 years.
I see this gimmick lasting a whole month or two before it massively backfires. Either through massive compute costs or from fucked up user creations causing a disastrous PR incident.
What is it from? Is Ahsoka the name of the show or the character?
Edit: nvm, it’s a Star Wars show.
There are none. Right wing propaganda media made the baseless claims that the No Kings protests were antifa riots.
Jfc, he spent $20 million of taxpayer dollars to defend himself in court? Why the fuck do politicians get to use public funds to legally defend themselves?
Oh 100%, completely agree with you there.
100%. “Put it… INNNN” always cracks me up
