And integrated GPU counts, so you could use the integrated one for the host and a discrete card for the guest.

Not my Model M.

Yes, I understand there are orders of magnitude of complexity between the two. And no, it's not remotely feasible, like I said, they wouldn't be any good. If anything, I'm agreeing with you that no system of government, or system of economics for that matter, would make it practical.

It's a parallel. Mao tried to create industry in people's backyards. It took people away from food production, destroyed existing valuable metal products, deforested the areas, and for all that effort, resulted in product with quality so bad it was unusable.

While it would probably also be more like input material production, silicon ingots and wafer slicing and such, I'm sure the quality would equally be shit enough to be unusable. Especially since metalwork tolerances are usually in micrometers at best, but microchips are in the nanometers.

Communist China and Soviet Russia would do it.

They wouldn't be any good, but they'd do it.

They absolutely do fund development like this. But they keep it for themselves until such time that it no longer gives them a competitive edge.

For example, when the US sells tanks or planes to other countries, those export versions have much less fancy equipment on the inside. Or in pure science like cryptography, you can assume that when the NSA publicly approves of an algorithm, they're confident that they can break it if they really need to (either because they inserted a backdoor, have identified a weakness they can exploit, or just have no use for it any more themselves).

I think most people will continue to just use their smartphone and get a Fairphone or something if it matters to them.

Sure. And the number of people who would do it purely because they want to is a tiny fraction of people who do it for pay. To pay those people you need profits, to get profits you need to be special, to be special you can't share your trade secrets.

The distro itself? Idk I usually just write an ansible playbook to get everything to my liking. Run it once on a new install and everything is good.

Yeah. For persistence and cross-device stuff, it makes more sense for it to be stored server-side. Either by the app author, or maybe Google could offer a few kB free for each app, like how Chrome provides a bit of storage for extension settings.

You ever seen a phone at 0%?

They should fix that, because it's certainly degrading the experience on Lemmy. A good number of these replies have the tags longer than their actual content.

None of these answers talk about watching you or your actions, only the device and the network.

Never heard of that one. This one is trustworthy: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Really? I see it used in techie communities pretty often.

I'm pretty sure you can use dots in record data. I know you can use them in zone names.

We're already at that point. Even recipe sites, which I'll give the benefit of assuming aren't already ML-generated, are already so similar, boring, and irrelevant that nobody reads them.

In the past few months, I've also noticed a lot of sites showing up in my Google search results purporting to be relevant or answer my question, but when I actually read them they are also completely useless. For example, I couldn't figure out how to take a friend's Instagram story and reshare it to my own if I wasn't tagged in it. Several pages were titled to look useful, but all of them gave only alternatives.

I hope all your stuff supports Unicode.

Those info sites aren't built from bank records. They're built from public records databases like voters, property, taxes, legal cases, and government actions, including stuff like just showing up to the city council to complain.

You could conceivably open an account in another country where they're very private about banking info, but it wouldn't help your case, and it would probably be a huge hassle for your day to day life.

Surely your firewall has an audit log for denied traffic.

Or, turn off the firewall and run Wireshark while you print something.
