Lol, nah, just point out how crazy it lines up with the election that gave us trump to begin with.

Gen 7 came out November 2016.
It seems you were absolutely correct in this case, too. I have to admit my mistaken assumption. Good intuition on your part.
In that case, does it do anything neat under a UV flashlight if you happen to have one?
This is harmful radioactive jewelry rather than weird and neat rocks. People can and should do what they want, but it’s absolutely insane and ironic that you can buy radioactive wear-on-your-body jewelry that’s sold as good for you rather than a disclaimer that you literally should not wear it, because it’s actually poison.
But I mean, if you want to wear literal poison, I raise my glass of bleach to you.
They gotta be messing with us, a quick search says it’s some sort of “5G/EMF protection” thing. That’s the most ironic scam I’ve ever seen. Protect yourself from harmless non ionizing radiation by wearing harmful ionizing radiation. Thorium is weak, but damn that’s funny.
If the inertia didn’t physically damage more than half of those drives, I would be surprised. I don’t think redundancy is a factor in this scenario. This has 3 likely outcomea. Restore from local backup in a different rack, restore from cloud/offsite backup, or the whole company needs to update their resumes.
You’re right, I do have a very pessimistic outlook on this subject. I personally see this as an emerging battle of sorts between the technology sector of the West and China, but it may not be that dire. There may still be hope for cooperation and positive competition.
You’re also right about there being a large software development component that would be made less likely by a shaky future. Though I think that could be overcome by force and focus, and I have to admit, that is something I respect about the Chinese tech sector.
I am also pretty amazed in general with the progress that’s been made on these chips in such a short time, props to them for that.
Huawei does indeed have a good track record and history regarding IP, but I would say there is a cultural expectation of cooperation with IP holders, and if that cooperation is perceived to be lacking then the IP rights are disregarded. The balance of power is not the same as it is with American/European countries. Which is what I mean when I say they will pick up the licensing rights on the cheap, or they will give a middle finger.
The western world is not exactly cooperating with Huawei(for better or worse), and it’s likely that they may “return fire” if given sufficient motivation.
Bold of you to assume that a Chinese company will care about licenses and patents. When they want to employ this Huawei will either purchase said license on the cheap or they will put up a giant middle finger and disrupt the market and patent holders.
I’ll piggyback on this one. I’m personally more partial to Lenovo if money and lead time isn’t an issue, but Dell Latitude is the budget business brand. On site repair support is roughly the same, they contract 3rd parties in whatever area you are in to do onsite repair.
I can reliably get Latitude 5500 series laptops with i5, 16gb, 256gb, and fingerprint reader for less than $1000 shipped, and that includes a 5 year on-site accidental included warranty with keep your drive. You drove over your laptop? Ok, here’s a loaner, let me try to pull the storage, and try not to do it again.
They didn’t sacrifice King, the CIA murdered him.
If you’re American, your credit score affects a whole lot more than your creditworthiness. A bad, or even not as good score can affect your chances at getting a job, getting a place to live, and more commonly, how much you pay for car insurance.
We give a lot of shit to China over their social credit score, but we’ve had ours for years, we just pretend it’s only for creditworthiness. When your job does pre employment checks, they can also do a credit check. Many apartment complexes do the same. Hell, even utility companies can check your credit and decide you are a risk and ratchet up your deposit.
It’s not a guarantee that anyone does this, but it is a possibility. Be on your best behavior, citizen, the credit bureaus are watching.
While it’s not the point 23andMe wants to make here, it is an absolutely horrible idea to allow a company to access, catalog and sell your DNA information. Shame they didn’t touch on that point.
I’m of the same opinion as you, though I hesitate to outright call it an echo chamber. Or at the very least, I doubt that’s their intention, even if it is the result.
I’m honestly rather surprised we haven’t seen more ideological pacts or groupings start to appear. Akin to having a group of folks that think similar enough that they choose to federate with each other rather than the fediverse as a whole. We have the “fedi pact”, which is generally more of a “fuck Facebook and it’s history of destruction and control” sentiment rather than ideological, but that’s the only clear organization that I have seen so far.
I would say it’s probably the philosophy of the fediverse that limits them. There is a spectrum of opinions on every subject, including strong opinions and dangerous ones, sometimes both at the same time.
Having a safe space requires either control or exclusivity in my opinion. The fediverse affords you little control of instances outside your own besides outright defederation and banning of external users. Though arguably that lack of external control is one of the benefits of the fediverse as well. However, if their goal is a safe place for those they feel are disenfranchised and marginalized, they might be right that this isn’t the tool for the job. Though, adopting a different platform or strategy might limit their reach. I think that is their dilemma.
Aside from beehaw… The lack of a central control structure within the fediverse is fascinating to me. It’s reminiscent of the old internet, where everything was ran as its own little web island, and yet it has many of the benefits of the mainstream “mass market” internet of today. Over time, it will be an interesting experiment to study and be a part of.
Someone once showed me sl. Bless them.
Kroger does actually have gas stations in some of their areas. But you’re right, this is a grocery store self checkout machine.
