And for a free trial, no less! If this isn't laughed out of the courtroom and dismissed with prejudice, we're all screwed.

I'm at a loss

There are services that'll sell you a brand-new modded oled switch for less than £500. It's not exactly rare, any switch can be modded and a modchip is better than the OG joycon exploit since modchips are untethered.

But... that is a dongle? He also mentions them in the video.

Regardless, the idea that re-soldering a new usb header on your devices is somehow better/easier than just using a dongle like that is kind of absurd. Still a fun proof of concept, though.

Email templates are ubiquitous and can easily insert names and any other variable.

I thought the real reason was that RCS was finally kicking off, but Google wasn't exposing an RCS api to normal apps. Signal never said that was the reason, but it was the only thing that made sense at the time.

Failure, public humiliation, and lots of Twitter and YouTube.

Grep is as high power as vim and emacs??? In what universe?

No. They aren't!

Wow! I adopted an adult cat and she stayed in hiding for two or three weeks. Now she can't get enough of us, but she'll teleport behind furniture at the first sign of a guest coming over.

No, but he went with a thousand other shipping company CEOs and only him and the UPS guy came out with money.

And thousands of those are unique visitors!

Fake. Squidward is eating a Krabby Patty.

Zoning to prohibit people from living on 99% of the land so that the population is dense enough to fully benefit from public transit? Lots of states don't even have a true city at all. Should those be zoned as national parks?

Edit: I think I missed the point. You're talking about just city zoning. Still, not a magical fix and would likely require moving lots of people and demolishing/building buildings and infrastructure. However, it's more realistic than zoming everyone out of the midwest.

I like Feeder as a free Android option

I agree, 401ks are stupid and were invented as more of a tax loophole for the wealthy than as an every-man's retirement fund. But they're cheaper for business so that's what we're stuck with.

That's not what I was talking about at all, though. I was just pointing out that if you have enough money to save for retirement, there are ways to relatively easily invest and grow your money while still mitigating risk and staying mostly hands-off.

Fun fact about pensions. At their height, only about 45% of private-sector workers actually had a pension. Having one was undoubtedly better, on average, than having a 401k today. But they weren't the utopian retirement solution that we (including myself) like to pretend they were. A majority of the population didn't benefit from them at all, and the less-fortunate were essentially in the same or worse spot as they're in today.

There are targeted retirement funds that target a retirement year and slowly transition from stocks into bonds/less risky positions as that date approaches. Those are generally a better idea for retirement savings than broader market funds for the reason you described.

And it's not like retirement immediately liquidates your 401k. There's just some minimum that you need to take out per year which isn't very high. Roth IRA's don't have a minimum distrust requirement until after the death of the owner.

But... it's cybersecurity. What is a "brief visual and non-intrusive room inspection" even looking for? Anonymous masks? Green terminals with scrolling text? People shouting "enhance" and/or "I'm in"?

Thing is, it already was ubiquitous before the AI "boom". That's why everything got an AI label added so quickly, because everything was already using machine learning! LLMs are new, but they're just one form of AI and tbh they don't do 90% of the stuff they're marketed as and most things would be better off without them.

I had that happen once too, but they unblocked me after I opened a ticket and I haven't had a problem since. That was maybe 5+ years ago.
