Everything will be more expensive, if it uses a modern CPU. Phones, tablets, computers of any type from any company (both Intel and AMD are fabbing consumer CPUs on TSMC, as is Apple and Qualcomm), TVs, set top boxes, everything.

Right now TSMC is basically the only fab anything consumer-facing is made on, which is not a great thing in general, but vice president trump just decided that anything electronic needs a hefty price hike.

No choice except the obvious: Pass the cost of the Tax into the customer because there’s no way they’re going to spend billions to stand up a US fab plant anytime soon.

TSMC is standing up fabs in the US, mostly because we're bribing them to do so.

The problem is that it takes literal years to build high tech manufacturing and isn't something you can yank out of your ass to satisfy some idiot politician.

I hate to be that guy, but if you're doing NFC payments, your card issuer is tracking you, AND selling your data. And of course, the merchant you're using is almost certainly tracking you and profiling you for more ads, too.

There's no way to do any sort of electronics payment with 'nobody' tracking you.

I trust Apple to be slightly less shitty than anyone else in the payment industry, but if you don't want to be tracked its' either cash, or you become one of those Monero dudes.

Hell, I'd help pay for the boat if he'd just fuck off to go spend the rest of his life floating around the ocean.

It's not just that: for a long time you didn't sign so much as 'make your mark'. Of course, this was because so many people were completely fucking illiterate.

Being totally fucking illiterate and uneducated is the goal of the Republicans at this point, so I mean, it still tracks, just... more broadly.

Very very little. It's a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

My personal instance doesn't cache images since I'm the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don't have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.

Huh.

Usually when I run into that I just bounce the Portainer container and it sorts shit out.

Maybe that's actually causing the tokens to rotate/expire and thus doing the same shit?

Taking a 10% haircutcut?

They must really really want that shit dumped the fuck off their books.

Goatse was always for amateurs.

Tubgirl was the go-to whenever I was sufficiently annoyed.

Android Police; they were never going to do anything to flout a law.

Police that follow the law to the letter? Well that's unexpected.

(Yes, I know they're not actually police, and whatever, but it amused me.)

You can also just drop the youtube channel link (ex. https://www.youtube.com/@LinusTechTips ) as well into most readers and it'll sort it out for you, so you don't even have to go digging.

And if you don't want to deal with those breaking (becaue google is actively shooting them in the face) they DO provide RSS feeds for your creators.

Just add the channel url to your feed reader (ex. https://www.youtube.com/@LinusTechTips )and forget the youtube webui exists.

And frankly, even if he's not a facist himself, the CEO saying something that fucking stupid makes me think that you shouldn't trust him to run the slurpee machine at a 7-11, let alone something sensitive like your email.

It's raid rebuild times.

The bigger the drive, the longer the time.

The longer the time, the more likely the rebuild will fail.

That said, modern raid is much more robust against this kind of fault, but still: if you have one parity drive, one dead drive, and a raid rebuild, if you lose another drive you're fucked.

Huh. I've been part of a couple dozen ones and I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of dollars. I THINK the biggest settlement was $22 or $23 or something like that.

Nice to know that, in theory at least, you could recover what was wrongfully taken from you.

Gonna disagree here.

Humans have always had "social media", but it's not been directed by a cadre of oligarchs until recently.

I mean shit, humans have been sitting around the campfire telling stories to each other going all the fucking way back to forever. Sure, a campfire story isn't a tweet, but for our monkey brains it's essentially the same thing: how we interact with our social groups and learn what's going on around us.

The problem is that the campfire stories couldn't be manipulated into making your cavemen neighbors hate the other half, because half of them were totally pro rabbit fur while you're pro squirrel fur.

You absolutely can do that and worse now, so while we've always had social media, we just simply never had anyone with enough control to make an entire society eat each other because of it's influence.

Has there ever been a class action settlement that actually made all the people who were harmed whole?

Because somehow I doubt it.

I'm sure it'll be free from Epic Games in like 4 or 5 years like every other game I've been playing recently, so meh.

Bleed them impatient whales, I guess?

It's the only way they're going to figure out what he had for breakfast, so what else are they supposed to do?
