Cops commit a lot of violent crimes. Factor that in, boot sucker.

You're eager for Google to be replaced by space Nazi internet? I don't think that's an upgrade.

"post-quantum transition"

At this point it's impossible to tell whether I'm done laughing or not.

I'm talking about the original Pis whose USB would crater with any non trivial traffic. Those boards were defective and they should have replaced them. That should have been the end of the raspi when they didn't.

A MiniPC with the specs of the one I bought for $300 is now $600.

This guy must be the rsilvergun AI troll. He has exactly the right unabomber level of connection to reality.

He is the troll. The call is coming from inside his head

Treating you like you're the problem when they have bugs and design flaws is not ok.

I dropped Apple over their handling of the B&W G3 logic board faults. This is the same kind of shit.

My advice is to not be a cuck. The raspi people made it harder for you to tinker with your own hardware and you should not appreciate that any more than in the earliest days when Liz promised us that they were going to release Android for the Pi and then never did. They've been customer-unfriendly from the beginning, when they were selling boards with dumb mistakes that ruined them for many purposes (remember raspi A USB fails? remember the MANY power supply failures?) and then telling us we should suck it up and be happy to have got them at all.

I will gladly admit to having emotions about systemd.

They are based in the fact that it's low quality software, but they are about it being pushed on me from every direction.

In a sane world, a new large project from the creator of pulseaudio would be laughed out of the room immediately, because pulseaudio has always been and remains shit.

The right answer is obvious to anyone who's considered this for even a second. It's got two main parts: End Qualified Immunity, make the standards for becoming a cop much higher, institute a mandatory national database of cops ineligible for rehire due to committing crimes in uniform.

Right now you get out of community college and into a police department. That's laughable. By definition you've got a bunch of young-ass cops who don't know shit about shit running around out there. Then they also by definition aren't held accountable for their actions, which is the MOST important thing in policing. And finally the worst cops can usually get rehired somewhere else so desperate for cops they don't even do background checks. And they're desperate for cops because all the other cops quit already, ever wonder why that might be?

The cops we have now should never be allowed to use Flock. If we had higher standards, and therefore less shit cops, then maybe we could talk about it, but any rational process would still require a warrant for any records request, and that requirement should be on the cops' side. They should not be allowed to request any records from anywhere without one, period.

The first two examples in the video are anime girlfriend and furry.

Google really knows their audience, huh?

I see you failed to read the heading of the linked page.

Tell us more about your illiteracy. Here, try and read this instead if you can.

For the same money I got a AMD Zen3 MiniPC with 8C16T, 32GB RAM, and 1TB nVME. An equivalent machine is about $600 now, whee! It also has dual 2.5GbE and WiFi 6. Same no serious gaming (it has a fairly pathetic number of GPU cores) but it's really quite passable... and no ARM problems. Power consumption is a little higher, but not much, TDP of the processor is only 15W without overclocking.

"with a much more limited use-case than they claimed"

You can't be seriously making that claim, in September 2026. When was the last time you actually tried using these models?

It's arguable that they can't yet, by default, code to the standard or expectation of a highly skilled and capable developer, or do much of anything to the quality of someone at the top of their field.

But they can do 50-80% of it vanilla, and probably hit 95% with the correct instruction/harness in many cases - and they can do it hundreds of times faster than a person could.

I'm curious which use case you think they're limited in.
