Seize who's assets exactly? The second you draw a line and say anyone on the other side has fewer rights than you, you're falling right in line with those same right-wing policies.
There is no way to define a law against "right-wingers" that doesn't infringe on basic rights like freedom of opinion and freedom from discrimination. You can't punish people for being part of a group. You need to point to something specific that each individual has done that is illegal before prosecuting. Anything less and society will break down into fascism.
It's not "proper gaming" unless your 1000W water cooled gaming rig is heating up your entire room to 100°, just to show you the latest in ray traced puddles /s
You can still install whatever OS you want on it, unlike a PS5. It would be nice if you could get into desktop mode without signing in once, but that's not the end of the world. You need a Steam account to even buy it in the first place, and they're not tracking you nearly as much as say Microsoft.
I've never heard of someone being arrested for breaching ToS though. They could be sued for breach of contract, but that's it. So far the only thing I could think of is if the bots were illegally acquired by hacking devices or something. There's nothing illegal about paying for a server and having it download free Spotify streams.
Exactly, I don't think there was anything illegal here. At best it's breach of contract with Spotify or whoever, and they could get sued. MAYBE there's some interpretation of fraud that could apply? But it's not like he sold anything and misrepresented it.
I've seen Luke talk about it a little, and at least during the clips I watched, Github wasn't mentioned. If he specifically says somewhere he's only looking for open source coding projects, then sure, that's a little unreasonable.
More generally though, there are plenty of hobbies you can talk to an employer about that could show "passion" without being programming. Personally I enjoy working on my own car, and I've talked about that before as a side project in interviews.
If your hobbies require any skill at all, and aren't just "turn your brain off and watch YouTube", it will help you in just about any job. And from what I've heard from LTT, they're not really any different.
I have not once said anything about programming in this discussion. The side project could be knitting for all I care. I specifically said it's not important if the side projects are directly related to your job.
I'm not sure I would call Bose snake oil, but the audiophile space certainly is full of it. On the one hand, you've got overpriced equipment that's not very good value but works, and on the other you've got literal scams like gold plated fiber optics and "audiophile-grade" network switches that are literally incapable of changing the quality of your audio because the signals are digital and have error correction, so it will either work or it won't. Placebo effect + choice-supportive bias are enough to get these things positive reviews though.
I haven't had it randomly disconnect, but I certainly have had my headphones randomly connect to my phone in the middle of a video call on my laptop. The crappy multi-device support for Bluetooth is the bane of my existence.
It's not a joke. UWB adoption could easily stay ahead of Bluetooth 6 adoption. There's nothing requiring phone manufacturers to always update to the latest Bluetooth, just like there's still not very many 5G mmWave phones available.
It could go either way. Bluetooth 6 might be more familiar for manufacturers to implement, but if the hardware is different to support the accuracy, who knows?
They don't have to be connected to see your device. Just like how Find My Device works by searching for the Bluetooth signal. You'd need to have Bluetooth completely off, so no smart watches or headphones for you in the grocery store I guess.
I don't see the problem... having side projects will improve your chances at MANY jobs, and even applying for university if they're related to your field. Even if you have no time at all, if you're genuinely passionate about technology, I'd expect you to at least have aspirational goals for things on the side. A side project does not have to be finished or maintained to show "passion".
The entertainment company doesn't want to hire boring 9-5 drones just in it for the paycheck. Big surprise.
They're allowed to be selective.
It doesn't need security updates if it doesn't connect to the Internet*, and most of these things really shouldn't need to anyway.
I just recently returned some smart outlets that would only work with my local Home Assistant if my Internet was up, because it all went through some cloud server. Now I'm using a combination of Zigbee and Z-Wave devices, which all connect to a local hub I have on battery backup. Now everything keeps working even if my power and Internet go out.
*Caveat: Wireless protocols could need updating too, but at least nobody's going to recruit my Zigbee devices into a botnet. Worst case my neighbor figures out how to turn my lights on and off.
The laundry machine in my rental still has the buzzer, but I usually just set a timer on my phone or watch anyway. This thing will probably last another 20 years, and my landlord certainly won't replace it until it breaks.
