Surely someone with that kind of money and need would start with a $5 wrench attack. You can buy a lot of persuasion for $20m.

An aspiring property developer I see.

Unless antimatter is also antigravity and the two cancel each other out, making it look normal to us.

Well we're already in the hole for 3.75 billion in tax breaks just to sweeten the deal...

All mine to is turn lights on and off.. very occasionally they might be used to find a phone, or set a reminder, but I wouldn't miss it if that went.

I wondered if I was unusual in not using the voice features much, but according to this thread it seems I'm not.

Maybe raw battery cost has reduced but installed storage is 30% more expensive than it was a couple of years ago, and it was too expensive then..

I'm definitely feeling the need for some Drinks Company(tm) products.

That's my problem too.. it promises so much, but massively undedelivers, and just ends up being a heavy weight strapped to my face when I could get a better experience by just looking at a monitor... better games too.

Manufacturers (especially Meta) are trying to sell it as if it's Ready Player 1 level immersion, and it's just not, and never can be.

It's a timing vulnerability, based on how long it takes the GPU to render the page , I think, although it's also browser specific.

But seems low risk.. at a minimum of 30 minutes to grab a username, you'd have to be sat on the same page for a while and not notice your fans ramping up..

Also, passwords seems a stretch. No (sane) site displays passwords.

That is of course the danger.. as it is it's pretty benign, allowing more people to consume podcasts in their own language. But the terms need to be clear.

But they definitely got all the cheaters :p

Waiting for the ability to target mobile in c# and for embedding to work.. should see that in the next year I think with the renewed focus on it.. we don't use many unity features but those two are kinda showstoppers right now.

"Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”

Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.

“But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut."

Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down.

“So in order to obviate this problem,” he continued, “and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances."

The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.”

Pretty on brand for her to lie. She's a member of the National Conservatives.. NatC for short. I'm sure they knew what they were doing when they picked that name.

Clearly not that alone, no. She's being obtuse.. A woman from Afghanistan however may well legitimately want to get out of that country & I think we should be receptive to that.

There are things called strict liability offences, for which intent is not required to prove guilt.

Possession of CSAM is one of those, although I'm not sure about the US (most other countries it is).

Probably difficult to find any that aren't on fire already..

2019???!

I've seen the standard of driving. I really don't want anyone less qualified than a pilot over my head. Learning to fly is expensive and likely to remain so.

I'm in the UK and have it but literally none of my contacts use it except the local dog daycare that use it to send pictures. So according to stats I 'use' it but not really

Facebook messenger is fairly big (almost everyone is on it mainly because they all have Facebook accounts) and I know a lot on Signal (they all moved from Telegram because Russia, which I thought was an overreaction but no choice but to follow).
