PHGamer··on Like the macOS Dock but for macOS System 7
the code could use some whitespce...
PHGamer··on Qualcomm CEO says he’s expecting Apple to use its own modems in iPhones in 2024
yea but apple has also chosen to use lightning with shit xfer speeds just to lock in its customers. m1 might have been nice but not every descision they made was good (look how they nerfed qualcomm iphones back in the day because the intel models couldnt compete with it)
PHGamer··on TSMC ups Arizona investment from $12B to $40B with second semi fab
big investment eh? guess tsmc knows china is going to invade soon.
PHGamer··on DHS announces extension of Real ID full enforcement deadline
i feel like real id is unconstitutional. it shouldn't be required to enter airports or government buildings as a citizen of the united states.
PHGamer··on Spotify CEO renews attack on Apple after Musk's salvo
or apple could just develop an os such that if an app doesnt respect your settings it just flat out doesnt work. this would force facebook to at least make concessions on their app.

There is no reason for walled garden. people can control the system themselves if setup.

PHGamer··on IKEA asks horror game to change so people stop comparing it to IKEA [update]
LOL.

There is nothing special about Ikea furniture. its generic slop made of compressed wood like the stuff you find in office furniture at your local bank.

PHGamer··on 23andYou: DNA Storage Is Growing, and So Is the Need to Protect Your DNA Privacy
doesnt the hospitable take the umbilical cord without your permission? i mean you could get a dna profile from that as well as harvest whatever remaining stem cells exist.
PHGamer··on Don’t Fully Spec Your M2 MacBook Air Out
defintly need the bump in memory. as for disk thats tough because the higher you go the more expensive it is. i think keeping the standard cpu is fine.
PHGamer··on Buy physical copies of any book you plan to read in the future. Do it now
World War 3. EMP. no more downloadable shit (unless you got your stuff in a giant faraday cage)
PHGamer··on Shanghai's 25M people under lockdown indefinitely
china flexing on its own cities it seems. Shame really since covid at this point is contagious but not as deadly as before.
PHGamer··on Shadow credit score could decide whether you get an apartment
and thats the problem. if you watch any of Louis Rossmans videos on NYC real estate he explains the Issue.

Buisness dump invested money into expensive building. If no one rents then it stays vacant. Why vacant, isnt the landlord going to lose money? well yes but if he rents a lower amount then his valuation goes down and he is suddenly upside down on his loan. So he is compelled to not rent versus renting it.

Add to this governments make more tax yearly if its valued hire and now there is no incentive to fix this.

PHGamer··on Anne Frank betrayal book pulled after findings discredited
no. nothing should be ever free from questioning. else things get distorted or exaggerated over time.

It would have been enough imo if the book just had a forward that noted some of it was conjecture based on whatever info they had. No one can truly know as I imagine there was either no documentation or it got destroyed in whatever allied bombing happened.

also blaming white people for shirking responsibility is a bit rich given that term encompasses a lot of nationalities including the British and Americans who fought against the Germans who were the ones doing the geocoding.

PHGamer··on Node-ipc supply chain attack: peacenotwar
specify specific versions in your npm or pip package list lol.
PHGamer··on Intel financialized and lost leadership in semiconductor fabrication (2021)
lol. true but at the same time look at it from americas point of view. aviation is a milatary threat. they need to have an in house team to own that shit. Putin is going to be screwed because he has no aviation industry compared to the EU and US.
PHGamer··on Intel financialized and lost leadership in semiconductor fabrication (2021)
their business laserjets were amazing but they started adding shit to make them crappy like time limited catridges and what not.
PHGamer··on 'We are not part of this': NATO rejects Ukraine no-fly zone
sure it would, it might escalate to the point we could do something about putin and get regime change. right now without more pressure ukraine will just get absorbed but if the russians lose badly people might turn on him.
PHGamer··on Wartime Is a Bad Time to Mess with the Internet
its not like sadaam or afganistan didnt have their issues and still do. ukraine culturally is similar to western sensibilities and they havent done anything like invade another country (unlike sadam who invaded iran).
PHGamer··on Wartime Is a Bad Time to Mess with the Internet
dns needs to be peer to peer like with any important service. its the only way. that being said its not like russia and china don't block domains and redirect traffic already.
PHGamer··on IBM executives called older workers 'dinobabies'
one the one hand. it is age discrimination on the other hand there are winds of change and the truth is unless your hip to the climate you will and probably should be replaced because business is going in a different direction and the customers are different.

How many people had their parents work at a company for along time? that would be bad advice to give to a kid now a days.

If you like things the way they are and believe the new stuff is wrong well thats politics and you better be good at arguing your case. some cases the dinos actually win. i know young people are getting hip to right to repair which was a given back in the day when things were simpler so sometimes old ideas are refreshed. other times like (on prem) kinda died off and cloud is the way most people are going (i remember aruging with a freind in 2011 about using aws and he thought it was the dumbest thing but here were are with most stuff in the cloud now)

PHGamer··on ASML reports fire at its Berlin factory
is this like when refineries say there is a fire but they just want to cut production .
PHGamer··on Poll: Which FAANG is the most likely to decline in the years ahead?
googles only money maker is search and their results suck. i dont care if they are "diversivied" the only product that mattered is search and people are starting to get off it.
PHGamer··on Poll: Which FAANG is the most likely to decline in the years ahead?
that comic is 10 years old? damn im getting old. lol. i remember that one. hilarious then , hilarious now.
PHGamer··on Digital real estate and the digital housing crisis
is that because they can't or are unwilling because of some expensive constraint. the average person can get ahold of a gpu for example if they are willing to pay a premium. I wonder if perhaps SE is stuck a little in the past as japan is with their fax machines. they could have moved to the cloud temporarily but im wondering if their app and scripts are not setup for that.
PHGamer··on YouTube suspended my account for posting DeFi hackathon video
You could always use Odysee or Bitchute .
PHGamer··on Fed to ban policymakers from owning individual stocks
excuse me but what the hell. the federal reserve is not congress they should have no power over this. hell this isnt even the sec.
PHGamer··on Supply Chain Shortages Continue Around the World. Get Used to It
covid is the excuse not the reason. but fun times for those at the top.
PHGamer··on How Discord Stores Billions of Messages (2017)
its just slack for gaming. the ui is ripped off as suck. it is better than ventrilo but its not like they are that much better, just they realized a good concept and took it.
PHGamer··on Apple says it will refuse gov’t demands to expand photo-scanning beyond CSAM
doesnt matter. lets say the government wanted to find a data leak. they could hash the leaked document and falsify it as cp. its dumb. there is no excuse for apple to be hashing and uploading the hashs
PHGamer··on Home Depot is introducing power tools that won’t work if they’re stolen
yea i dont need remote internet connected power tool that needs to call home to work. fuck these guys.
PHGamer··on Carlos Ghosn: How I escaped Japan
honestly i dopnt think ghosn is really the big issue anyways. as stated in the article this is more about renault than ghosn. he was just collateral, probably because he didnt wanna pick sides . probably wouldn't have been arrested if he stepped down but if you ran 2 different companies in 2 different places would you.
