  • BT 6.1 introduced Randomized RPA (Resolvable Private Address) which should help with some of the security issues. That said I wouldn’t expect to see headphones implementing 6.1 for quite some time. It just came out in May.

  • I’m up 192% for the year, so I’ll take the tiny dick jokes. Admittedly the signal to noise ratio is pretty awful, but the assets themselves can be smart investments.

  • Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion

    Jump

  • The CEO also said in an interview that he would use Chrome to mine endless amounts of user data. As the dead internet becomes a problem, he wants to use Chrome itself to detect when it’s being used by a human and scrape all the data they produce. I instantly uninstalled the Perplexity app after seeing that.

    Sorry I can’t find the link.

  • The other option is to boycott everything — bring the entire economy to a halt. Don’t show up to work, don’t shop, block the highways, stop paying taxes, etc. I guarantee the entire situation would be fixed in under a week.

    Of course, this requires critical mass. And everyone is so conditioned to get to work on time and not endanger their next paycheck, that it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Things will have to get worse before they get better.

  • What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

  • I made pancakes once. I didn’t know the difference between baking powder and baking soda. It tasted like chewing aluminum foil or licking a 9v battery.

    I’m generally not allowed in the kitchen.

  • I give myself an allowance, just like when I was a kid. Whatever I spend it on is guilt free.

  • Unix and lawnmowers are nothing new or exotic either. I’m not stupid for not knowing how to repair a lawnmower, and I wouldn’t presume you’re stupid just because I can run circles around you at the command line.

    I would, however, question your intelligence if you lack the ability to perceive the reasons behind different people knowing different things. It’s not that complicated.

  • It’s happened directly on Google before. Advertisers aren’t vetted except in specific industries. It could happen on any site, trusted or not.

  • I was even okay with images. It’s when the images started moving, making it difficult and distracting to read text that I realized if they are willing to sacrifice the core purpose of the page for ads, it’s only going to get worse.

    Remember the target that would move back and forth really quickly to try to get you to click it?

  • I know surgeons who can’t start a zoom call. Being uneducated in a particular area is not stupidity. If you avoid dating someone over their lack of adtech knowledge, I would assume they are the one that dodged a bullet.

  • What kind of climate do you prefer?

  • Sustainable and survivable.

  • Investors bought 27% of US homes in Q1, as traditional buyers struggle to afford

  • Thanks, but my financial advisor helps me pull all kinds of tricks. I am definitely not the smart one.

  • I mean, we can dream. Or leave. I’m working on the latter.

  • Another solution I’ve seen is large penalties for every week the house is unoccupied. They will lower the price to get someone in there quickly.

    I don’t know how I feel about barring corporate ownership. Obviously there’s a problem that needs to be solved, but not all businesses with homes are landlords driving up prices. Case in point: I created an LLC and used that to purchase my one and only home. I occupy the home and pay rent to the LLC which then pays the mortgage. I felt this was necessary because I don’t have health insurance, and if anything happens to me I don’t want to have any assets worth coming after by debt collectors.

    But fuck landlords.

  • Does anyone truly think times are better now than 30 years ago? (US)

  • Half the technology only prevents death, but doesn’t necessarily give you quality of life, so they can keep it. It’s the pharmaceutical advancements that have had the biggest QoL impact on me, and thankfully generics have been reasonably affordable.

  • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

  • Is it a level playing field? In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US. Then add in government subsidies, lower worker pay, reduced R&D costs because they pilfered the engineering from a US company, and you end up with a very lopsided market.

    To be clear, I am in no way defending the US auto industry. They have little customer loyalty for a reason – low quality, overpriced, subscription dependent vehicles with terrible warranties, expensive service requirements, and invasive telemetry. They need more competition to force them to make more consumer-friendly decisions, but China is hardly a fair competitor.

  • Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷‍♂️
