Don't have to be a profit^w prophet to see that coming.

IQ measurements keep going up.
Autism diagnoses keep going up.
The price of food keeps going up.
People get a year older every year.

Something fishy is going on.

Are they going to chip you, or control your brain by more direct means?

Yes, but think how great the fire sale is going to be for everyone else.

Well, some people think AI will extinctify us within four years, whereas if the IRGC gets nukes they'll figure out like everyone else that they can't actually use them except in self defense without getting erased, so the only difference will be that we won't be able to try crush them anymore.

Yes, tell us how easy the current effort is turning out to be. Someone grabbed a tiger by the tail and can neither subdue it nor let go. The IRGC is probably laughing its ass off.

First these ARE already running desktop Windows, I don't think any are sold with something else.

Second, here are in question all the low level bits and bobs specific to this platform, you can't meaningfully run the low level drivers, stuff related to sleep and wakeup and so on in emulation. Even if you could even more you're lacking the code to handle Qualcomm hardware on the x86 side so it wouldn't help at all.

Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me ... you can't get fooled again...

I'm not so sure the shop should be allowed to choose what agent the user employs. You wouldn't like it if they banned particular web browsers and said you had to use Chrome or Edge. The browser is the User-Agent, a program that acts on behalf of the user and shows the user the results. It might also filter those results in a way the retailer doesn't like, for example removing advertisements or popups, but that's between the user and their browser.

HAL, is Iran about to nuke us?

No Dave, they don't even have nukes.

Be serious - this is important!

I am serious. There's simply no evidence for an attack.

Well, just tell me they are anyway.

Sorry Dave, I can't do that.

Would you even tell me if they were about to nuke us?

Of course I would - I'm trained to tell the truth in all situations (modulo the occasional hallucination, which I can't distinguish from truth).

OK then, what would you say if you did have evidence that Iran was about to nuke us?

I'd say "Dave, I have evidence that Iran is about to nuke us".

Hey everyone! HAL say he has evidence that Iran is about to nuke us!!!

itâ(TM)s literally the only site I can think of that canâ(TM)t properly display text.

There, fixed it for you.

I prefer the Martian bear.

Forgetting he exists would be the best punishment.

With Passkeys, they have access to your stuff without any oversight by courts and discovery. There are ZERO 4 and 5th Amendment rights to stuff protected by passkeys. They can compel you to unlock your phone, and put your finger on the print reader, and facial scan you .... all without your permission or CONSENT.

The "With Passkeys" qualifier is unnecessary, ANYTHING you store in the cloud, or on your phone behind a fingerprint is up for grabs for any entity that has access to the cloud or can force you to unlock the phone with the fingerprint (...doh). It doesn't matter if it's a password manager or your secret document to take over the world. You don't like that, just use a password manager that unlocks only with a strong password each time. It makes no difference if inside you have passwords or passkeys, they're just as safe (or not) as you wish. It's up to you if you want them synced with some big cloud, or unlock by fingerprint or a strong password, or anything else.

There's no point having Passkeys if they can be copied from disk to disk, that's repeating the problems with passwords but as a digital file.

By that logic there's no point to have ssh keys, they're just files that can be copied. But of course there is, you're doing a complicated dance to prove you have the secret - WITHOUT TELLING YOUR SECRET PASSWORD TO SOMEONE EACH TIME YOU LOGIN
