It's common wisdom that the data gathered through user tracking is valuable, but I'm not convinced it's true. Most of the numbers compare prices from the same ad network, for example they compare what you get for tracked Facebook ads vs untracked Facebook ads. But Facebook has an incentive to push tracking because that's how they differentiate themselves from other ad networks, so it makes sense they would underpay for untracked ads. The reason I believe that is because there's a massive market that is now killing online news sites and is actively moving away from tracking ads: video. There's no ethical reason to do so, Youtube is owned by Google so users are getting tracked anyway, the only reason vloggers are moving to sponsorships instead of Google ads is because it makes more money.

Guess how charge speed is increased? By putting more batteries in a car so they can be charged in parallel.

But the best chance of changing copyright is to enforce it mercilessly so the megacorps will lobby to get it changed. The only thing worse than draconic IP laws are draconic IP laws that are selectively enforced only on the poor.

Hardware generators that measure physical processes like electronic noise can't prove their randomness wasn't somehow predetermined or tampered with.

I never understood paranoid people like that. So you don't trust the RNG in your CPU but you trust that the rest of the CPU isn't compromised? If Intel/AMD are putting backdoors in their chips it's game over, no amount of quantum wizardry is going to save you.

I'm still disappointed that inflatable space tech got forgotten, it had a lot of potential.

Just make sure to crash in an area with good reception!

I have said it before, but basically the worry is that there are bad actors sitting on Win10 0days waiting for EOL.

Facebook is a major ISP in Africa, in many regions they are the only provider.

It would make much more sense to take out the magnets from the old drive and put it into a new one than to shred them just to recycle the dust into new magnets.

I had the same Win7 install running all the way back from 2009 (Win7 had a feature for easy migration to new machines without having to reinstall). During that time, I never had any issue with malware. A month after support was dropped, my machine got infected by a pretty nasty one. I restored from a cold backup, but after a couple months it happened again. At that point, I realized that there were probably a bunch of jokers sitting on 0days waiting for the support to drop. I'm pretty sure they are doing the same thing right now with Win10.

I actually like the idea of Rust, I always thought that we really need a modern low level C replacement, something like what Ada tried to be just not shit and based on RAII principles, and Rust is pretty much that. But it has no place in the kernel. The problem is that even though Rust was made by Mozilla, it feels more like a Google product, it's a programming language that is in perpetual beta. I remember the outcry when Python 3 broke backwards compatibility, and how it took 15 years to get everybody to migrate, even though it was managed very well from Python's part. When Perl 6 broke compatibility, they had to admit defeat and fork a new language because people refused to migrate. Yet the same people who were constantly bitching about it are now embracing Rust, a language that breaks backwards compatibility every other year. I understand that sometimes you need change otherwise you will end up with the unholy mess that is C++, but there has to be middle ground. Rust shouldn't be let near the kernel until it becomes a stable language.

Even if there were ways to self host, I don't want to spend what little time I have on Earth troubleshooting a lightswitch. Home automation will never save as much time as you will spend maintaining it.

They got him before he

It would be pretentious to name it after his kid.

I built a house out of thin plywood. It burned down. So I built a second one. It got blown away by a hurricane. Then I built a third one. It burned down, got blow away by a hurricane then it was eaten by termites.
