Carniverous? All living giant tortoise species are herbivores.

Now who’s stupid.

I have a paid Proton account and yet I still pay for AirVPN for years because of 1) how good their service is for torrenting 2) how cheap it is at black friday every year.

People used to not use VPNs too - until they realized how useful they can be by spread in pop culture and increasing tech awareness of the general public.

If commercial VPNs are banned the tech savvy will move onto a replacement immediately, and the knowledge will slowly expand through social circles and social media until it has similar penetration in society.

A VPN ban would be both harmful (to business and consumers short term) and pointless.

Or… They ban VPNs and overnight the VPN providers start offering cheap VPS services that can run a self-managed VPN over them, or proxies, or tor exit nodes, or Wireguard/Tailscale exit nodes, or… <The list goes on indefinitely and will be added to as needed by users>.

You can’t ban people running private servers and routing encrypted data through them unless you want to shut down 90% of the internet.

Billionaire… For now.

If Nvidia tanks he’ll be a measly hunded-millionaire.

P.s. large margin of error I have not deeply analysed Jensen Wang’s stock holdings for a shitpost.

Its corner-cutting to save assembly costs. Plastic tabs take sub-seconds to whack into place vs screws which take 20+ seconds each.

Theyre saving ~$100 on your car assembly process and the end result is you have a vastly more annoying car to work on and repair for its entire lifetime. Its beyond annoying.

Next step: you must have a camera enabed to use YouTube so we can directly monitor your facial expressions with AI✨ and save you precious rating time to recommend you better videos!

But really so we can ensure you’re watching the ads.

I wanna say you’re wrong, because AI is absolutely not an essential service - like say a water or power company failing would be (or arguably banks). But knowing how deeply the AI tech bros have sucked up to and supported Trump I have to sigh and agree with you that they will probably be rescued from their own stupidity by the taxpayer.

Reading your post I’m reminded of the Shwerer Gustav which were the biggest canons ever made, shot a 7 tonne 3.6m projectile and obliterated basically any target of the time… Objectively impressive.

However… the Germans only built 2 of them and it took so long that the battle they were explicitly designed for was well over by the time they were completed, only 1 was ever fired and wasn’t really needed for that battle either, they cost $7m Reichsmarks each (~$62 mil USD in 2025), 1400+ tonnes of steel, required a crew of 2,750 and two flak battalions for protection (~2000 additional men). Not so great when you read the fine-print.

And your mild comment is a magnet for downvotes… Which is really highlighting your point.

Headline clearly leads “Auto industry warned” implying this is an industrial issue specific to them. And it is. This is not misleading.

The issue is that they are offshoring the lead recycling to very poor nations that have no environmental protection laws. Why? Cos cheaper.

Same issue with almost every industrial problem - the dangers are off-shored. Out of sight, out of mind. The US auto industry was warned about this exact prpblem and pleaded with to set up monitoring and a clean battery sourcing program - and of course they did nothing, because the only way corporations listen is with law and effective enforcement of those laws.

That’s akin to getting a driver’s license to prove you can drive - but not sitting behind the wheel a single time, and paying someone else to do your test.

No skills learned, nothing gained beyond a piece of paper.

Students might think they’re being slick by pushing all the work to AI during their degree, but their new boss in the real world will quickly recognize that they do not have the skills they should have according to their certification and say bye-bye during their probation period.

Yeah great idea genius - except that creating deepfake nudes isn’t a crime in and of itself currently - only online public publication makes it a crime, which Nudify isn’t doing - so funding the police and prosecutors more would do jack shit.

I remember in the late 80s and early 90s multiple kids were killed in the US over their shoes. Usually by people they knew.

When the designer luxury worship culture gets so bad that kids are killing each other over attaining it… something major has to change.

Solution is to raise minimum wage, increase social support, and raise the poorest up out of poverty. These killings are incredibly rare in the rest of the developed world.

But thanks mostly to conservatives we know that this hasn’t happened in the US, and kids who live in borderline poverty are still killing people for their designer sneakers. The only thing that’s changed in 30 years is the brands.

WinDirStat imo is a better alternative - same functionality, much older and open source.

Wiztree borrows a lot from WinDirStat’s interface.

Figuring out which local restaurant does and doesn’t currently deliver (which would change on a daily basis) was one of the main problems.

Your local food delivery places make changes to if they do delivery or not on a day to day basis? Do you live in a warzone? This is nonsense.

Also I don’t want to call or talk to people, so every restaurant would need it’s own system to take online orders. Doesn’t seem realistic.

TFW too scared to dial 9-11 because would have to speak to someone. dies

‘Big brain’ indeed.

Layers of the onion, cheif. Every layer helps.

Carry no phone to places you don’t want to be identified: problem 1 solved.
Put a pebble in your shoe to modify gait: problem 2 solved.
What are they voice printing, your whispers? Your shouts in a crowd? Your silence? Good luck. Problem 3 solved.

However, this mask is designed to defeat AI facial recognition at mass scale. Not to make you anonymous at all times eg protests and whatnot.

Feels ironic upvoting this meme on social media

Damn, here I am thinking he looked fit as hell in Mr. & Mrs. Smith just last year, actually had to do a double-take on Wikipedia when I saw his age. Good show BTW.
