I'd set up a seedbox or a Tor relay on it just out of principle and just keep using your cable.

Nice, an AC comment worth reading for once. This is exactly the right answer. Fucking nail that connection, just keep it using the maximum transfer 24/7, however you do it. If they force you to have their service, then use it... use it hard.

It was always arbitrary to claim they couldn't do a more secure OS without those specific features, since most of their security features do not require the not-that-Pixel-specific features they claimed were necessary. Since their OS is not 100% secure since none are, they were always able to achieve their goal of increasing security without those features.

The US is now carbon negative. It reached a max of 6 billion metric tons of CO2 in the 2000s. In 2025, we are putting out about 5 billion metric tons.

AHahAHAHHAHaHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Thanks for proving you know how nothing works, as if we didn't already know that.

Yes, that is true, but the grandparent perhaps was referring to the fact that the user interface on phones is excruciatingly bad for anything other than entertainment and communication.

Yeah, sure, it only has ten times as many pixels as machines I was doing work on decades ago.

I'd argue for general use (e.g., writing, spreadsheets, light computations), screen size and keyboard will be the primary factors driving productivity.

A larger screen and keyboard can be attached to any non-crippled phone.

A lot of people are doing everything on phones and tablets now. And many of those phones have nearly tablet-sized displays.

These have 16 GB memory and 512 GB storage. That's plenty for a large portion of the market.

While this is accurate, it's not plenty for people who want to run LLMs, 16GB is totally inadequate for that since you have to run your OS and apps in that as well. Apple is advertising this hardware at being great for LLMs, but they don't offer enough memory to where you need hardware that could be that fast at running LLMs if only you had enough RAM to load them.

It amazes me how few people on the right understand what's happening.

Nothing is less surprising than Reich wingers not understanding 1) that they are promoting fascism, i.e. they are fascists or 2) fascism is bad even when it's in America, not only when it's in Italy.

this all comes down to Biden, Garland and the DOJ being cowards

Cowards or complicit.

Democrats talk a good game but then vote for corporate interests and the MIC in almost every case. It's easy to believe that they were unwilling to do anything that would bring real substantive change. Biden is responsible for the student loan crisis since he led the charge to prevent We The People from being able to discharge those debts through bankruptcy like you can gambling debts, then he campaigned on student loan forgiveness and delivered it for a tiny fraction of student loan holders, and went around congress to fund genocide in Gaza but not to forgive student loans.

It's not cowardice. They deliberately chose not to rock the boat that brings them money. They aren't just cowards, they are traitors as surely as Donald Drumpf himself.
