The Ayatollah was Iran’s Chief Islamic Judge. The US also gives judges at the highest levels lifetime appointments. This is basic stuff . How ignorant are you to not know any of this?
Plus I noticed you completely sidestepped the issue of Israel’s genocide, even though they’re the country that pulled us into this mess of a war.
Your comment would be more convincing if you laid out the complex idea you’re alluding to, instead of saying that a simple example is all people need.
As far as I can tell, thought scientists stay losing, because pretending your thoughts comprise a form of science that ends in a measurable result is sophistry.
Iran is the lesser evil in this war. They’re a democratic society that refuses to engage in genocide. By comparison the US is a democracy currently aiding Israel in genocide.
Phone as payment is the real hurdle.
A Steam Deck could be used to call and text. It’s all the digital ID encroachment that’s keeping people from ditching mainstream operating systems.
It means Iran is winning by controlling the Straight of Hormuz.
It means things will continue to get worse until the United States and Iran come to an agreement.
The Iranians have said the war will end on their terms. So far they’ve been right, as the US refuses to accept their terms and they continue to control the Straight.
Every time they make a change, users shift/leave. I now use Chrome instead of the app. Once they block it on chrome to force people back to their enshittified app, then I just won’t use it anymore.
We’re waiting for clothes patents on robots to expire just like 3d printing patents expired. Only then will we see a boom.
Glad to hear that one day DHS might be sued for keeping all this data on critics of ICE, which you and I are not. 😉
I hadn’t heard of their company culture until recently, but as long as they’re being reviewed positively, then they’re not going to lose customers. I don’t personally own one of their printers, nor do I plan to, but online reviews are what moves units.
Their first pivot was trying to get their investors to buy them a chip manufacturing plant. That failed spectacularly. Now they want to sell phones? Just the market testing should kill that.
Clearly investors for tech startups are all illiterate and love burning money, but this AI craze is worse than crypto. At least that was open and blatant fraud with high returns. This is just burning money until the economy keels over.
After they sell them, they can bet against their own product, double dipping on their failing portfolios.
Zuckerberg seems to be on a losing streak: from the Metaverse tanking, to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses being used to spy on people (and train Ai), and this lawsuit on copyright infringement. When was the last time any of his companies had a win? Every time they seem to steal defeat from any sort of victory.
They actually want to avoid the liability of storing someone’s id.
The government wants to make these things illegal, but they also want to track every person on the internet through their government ID, so they create the problem (age restriction and id checks) because they have the planned solution: digital id for every computer!
Do you have your computer license? Do you? You think the internet is a psy-op and Big Brother’s watching you? Just wait until a government admin message pops up on your screen because you visited the wrong website.
You’re getting fined for spreading misinformation or receiving a letter for libel due to some offhand tweet about some famous person. Don’t worry about receiving a notice in the mail, if you have a printer they’ll make it print your ticket for you immediately.
We should let them fail and be happy that home lab users will be getting a massive discount.
Also, crypto will be back as those people use similar resources. So crypto will be cheaper to mine. Hard to say if that will make it worth more or less. Crypto’s its own ponzi scheme waiting to collapse.
You’re telling me I get to experience the joy of this headline more than once?
They mean the website operators.
Nope, he had a guy for that. Plus he could get someone to find him a woman like Stormy Daniels.
All they had to do was improve their facial recognition to scan all photos. Scammers would use fake photos and put their real photo (ai edited slightly) as the their last photo. This allowed them to get verified, but still scam. They don’t need more biometrics. Other apps are doing fine without your iris scans.
Either skip upgrading, buy used, wait for prices to drop, or start saving.
I have a used machine, until I can afford to get something new. Maybe in a little while I’ll get a framework. (I think that if the 16” gets a pro model I’d definitely get one.)
His is why digital ID is bad.
