> Google addressed the incident you're referring to by adding E2E encryption to sensitive inter-DC RPC sessions

And they don't provide the key to law enforcement because ... they care about your privacy. /s

> Lesson to learn: Let's Encrypt does not protect against MitM

But S in https stands for secure, or ? /s

> CIA is not stupid enough to break into a guarded data center in Switzerland

They don't need to break in guarded data centers. See Crypto AG

> or one of the less America friendly EU countries.

Besides Spain, there is no such country in EU. And even Spain might change its mind.

> However, it's not at all the reality of a vast swath of other countries

Citation needed. At least in DE it is also true.

No

Mainframe.

> sideloading means installing outside the official channel

On VMS ? Or plan9 ?

> and it will happen because the Internet makes people think, or realize, too many voters are too dumb to be enfranchised in a rational system

No, the level of corruption is just too high for a functioning democracy.

> That's because corporations are controllable

It is actually a win-win situation. Government controls the corporations and corporations control the government.

I'm still waiting for the Microsoft’s Vacuum cleaner.

citation needed. My DVD/Blu-ray writer does not support M-DISC

> may last up to 1000 years

or may not. Who knows ?

Can it send SMS ?

> legal theft

When a company steals, it is _legal_ theft. The best democracy money can buy.

> Google Messages

has a lot of bugs and the development team doesn't give a shit about them. Having to disable one SIM in a dual SIM setup because Google Messages is not able to underestand basic phone numbers and ads country codes at will, speaks for the quality of Google engineers.

Uber has employees ? I thought they are all contractors. /s

> and EXTREMELY experimental support for running on WINE/Linux.

So it needs Wine.

> AI Can Make You Suck Faster Too

Inflatable dolls with AI ? Or vacuum cleaners ?

Your 10-minute walk is not my 10-minute walk.

> But building one would be very expensive and serve no other purpose than to delight some nerds (which is a fine result but unlikely to be worth the price.)

Better to waste RAM of bilions of people with Electron applications. Which also "serve no other purpose than to delight some nerds".

> 4.5 days for 4000kms. Sad state of European rail.

I think they avoided Germany. /s

You should see Windows 11.

Eating 1 GB of RAM and with 3D acceleration. We live in a sick world.

> it’s a useful honeypot for criminal law enforcement.

Only if they do it 2k times.

After 2k times, they couldn't resist anymore. /s

> so after already ramping up mass surveillance to the level of China

the verb you are looking for is "ramping down". At least China does not control the Internet registry, the majority of CAs and the majority of DNS servers. And let's not forget the main OSs: Windows, iOS, Android, MacOSX and Linux

McCarty, Dulles, the world oldest "democracy".

And it feels good doing it. It is terribly funny to see European countries being so lame.

Hit me again, hit me hard.

> and it's time we take a stand

I'm afraid it is too late.

> How much extra bandwidth does it even take to double the framerate?

For <insert your favourite streaming provider here> ? No extra bandwidth. They just increase the number of predicted frames.

But those are 24 real frames. Not predicted ones like in your favourite Youtube video.
