Nothing of materialistic value.

iirc, Termux on the Google Play store has been softly deprecated for a while.

Sweet! Been pondering on repurposing my Thinkpad 13 chromebook.

I think this would only cement those whom can't break out of their own confirmation bias as they spiral into a self-fulfilling prophecy. I remember Jordan Peterson once saying: "A good man is not a harmless man but a man who is dangerous and has it under control."

I would frown to see "out of control" though.

Yes, it's true. I think Google rebranded it as part of Google Workspace. I received their email detailing their policy change back in Dec 2020; been an extremely frugal user of it back when it was simply called Google Apps Engine for basic domain email hosting.

Is this any different conceptually as being "pwned" and put on the Wall of Sheep at Defcon?

In a semi-related topic, I remember when the FCC blocked deployment of Lightsquared because of GPS interference back around 2012.

Yes, and he often includes many historical information to put things into greater context.

TSMC made the long term investments in R&D and expertise and are reaping it's rewards.

Just like the short scene spoken by the Bene Gesserit in the 2021 film:

B.G: "..our plans are measured in centuries; we have other prospects if he fails his promise." .. "On Arrakis we have done all we can for you. The path has been laid, let's hope he doesn't squander it."

> It’s like being a landlord whom passive income guarantees him and his family a good life with no work when people working their arses off to be able to pay the rent.

Not necessarily. The state still takes a percentage eg: property tax, maintenance, utilities, safety certifications, etc.

> NYC is one prominent example that uses ranked choice.

Only implemented recently iirc.

Sure, let's just bombard every household with testing kits like we did with mail-in ballots.

My dumb answer: the universe is an expanding balloon being inflated by The Big Bang. If you were a standing on one point on the surface of the balloon, objects relative to your observable distance would be moving away from you. This observation can be measured by a phenomenon known as the redshift.

I'm lost from here..

Maybe it's just another psyop. Funny that The Intercept_ ran a similar story [1] a few months back somewhat corroborating what PV reported on.

Can you imagine if PoW cryptocurrencies hadn't of existed, that the climate change narrative would have been adapted to apply as "the world really needs to ban triple-A gaming" instead?

This story reminds me of an urban legend that the Sony Playstation 2 consoles almost hit a snag on an export ban because of "potential military applications". Different era, different context I suppose.

Took me a while to wrap my head around the `baseball card analogy` but I've come to the conclusion that if they can be used to perceptively represent NFT's then pragmatically, the `serial number of the card` (or the object's metadata) is what you own as recorded on the blockchain and not the object itself.

Oh him. Thanks.

What or who is `RMS`? My first assumption is "risk management standard".

Which can be a separate technical support nightmare in of itself. My elderly folks may not be as flexible on the reasoning and troubleshooting aspect of it than I would be and convincing them to be more progressive in their approach often leads to more "lost in translation" moments as their user experiences are significantly different than my own.

They've always been shady. Remember when they were among the first to experiment with crypto mining while you browsed their site?

Chia iirc, closely related to Filecoin.

I remember stories of how Chia was somehow attributed to why HDD prices skyrocketed or something.

A similarly related topic would be log4j debacle and the lack of common awareness of it's features before being used as a vector for exploitation.

"..from centralized exchanges" should be appended to "..they get to buy more for cheap."

That's not a bad idea. Thanks!

People should also be aware that certain devices will have specific features disabled when flashing to a custom ROM like LineageOS; vendor binary blobs on the OEM side and LineageOS' policy on reverse engineering them.

I do use Linux. Even so, if you were required to install (or compile) a package that is a dependency on something you don't explicitly use but do for others, where do you draw the line on their acceptable tradeoffs?

I think it would be funny for those HODLing their mined BTC but not those whom are HODLing their bought BTC. :)

> “Norton should be DETECTING and killing off crypto mining hijacking, not installing their own,” reads a Dec. 28 thread on Norton’s forum titled “Absolutely furious.”

That is fucking infuriating. Imagine if the "my body, my choice" redirected to a "my computer, my choice" idea.

You may be confusing the bitcoin network conditions with price action.

iirc, there were some mainstream and social media stories of the recent "events" concerning the country of Kazakhstan regarding banning of bitcoin mining and the political unrest (and or violence that ensued). The blip you experienced may have been a direct result from this.

Probably referring to bridges (eg: irc <-> matrix, telegram <-> matrix, etc)..
