You don’t get the most valuable company by selling a SSD. So, yeah a new Mac of course.

Opens chrome on a 8GB Mac. Sees lifespan of SSD being reduced by 50%. After 2-3 years of heavy usage SSD starts to get errors. Apple solution: buy a new one. No wonder they are 2nd/3rd wealthiest company on the planet.

Well I will sound like an old bore but throughout the nearly 20 years Firefox is out I never looked at anything else. Seen the rise and fall of Internet Explorer seeing the rise and fall of chrome.

Even Firefox in its dreadfully slow era (2010-2016) it did not made me change. And let me be clear Firefox is far from perfect. But for my use cases (privacy and security balance over certain conveniences) I would not change for any commercially backed Browser.

Moral of the story. It’s better to donate to Mozilla and enjoy the freedom of your browser than giving yourself in on the erratic behavior of the big tech companies.

Freedom of expression in a country that is called democratic people’s republic of Korea… Yepp they are trolling for sure.

You gotta be a special kind of sad to DDoS archive.org…

Soon the pirates will be dominating the digital sea again.

The fact that a single company is higher valued than the entire car market should ring all alarm bells. Because afaik is Mercedes already ahead of Tesla in regarding (autonomous) self driving. But don’t quote me on it.

Poetic justice, taste of your own medicine

Waiting for tsla stock to go up now…

He doesn’t care about Taiwan as being part of China. He cares about those lovely tech companies with TMSC as the crown jewel. China wants to be the new world order and need chips to get that done. Taiwan being reunited with the mainland is only to fuel the nationalists to beg Xi to do it.

We have to start understanding that Russia and Iran backed by China are fighting a war against the west. We got to understand that all what is happening now is not a coincidence. China has been step by step showing its colors. This could be the 21st century version of the axis in the 1940s and ppl need to wake up because what might be now far from my bed show, could change over the next few years.

Not great, but at least it gives my gf more room to be on time when we need to go somewhere.

War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength.

Russian government doctrine 101.

For sure. It’s basically a NAS software appliance. You just need to bring your own x86 hardware. Truenas core was good, but they will stop actively developing soon in favor for scale.

I have it running both hardware (backup) as well as virtualized (with a special sas/sata card as PCI pass thru). Works like a charm.

Not to mention the sheer amount of security vulnerabilities they constantly have in their products. I never recommend QNAP for that reason. Out of the box solutions I only recommend Synology. Selfbuild route is uraid and my personal fav. Truenas scale.

Doesn’t matter if it is false flag is not. The narrative will always be to blame Ukraine. This is really to feed the local population for either buy-in for more mobilization (rumors of spring/summer offensive).

He won’t say, oopsie my 350k FSB apparatus screwed up. That will be done in the background with some mysterious window diving.

So in essence:

• US warns Russia for planned terror attack in Moscow

• Russian government and Putin specific either ignore it for the reason the west is fooling them because would fit narrative for the war in Ukraine. Or

• Russian government is just incompetent to do anything with that information. Or they know and deliberately don’t do anything with it to link it to Ukraine (even though the perpetrators are IS). Since this was also done in 1999 to blame the Chechnyans, it would fit the profile.

Either way it will be Soviet style lying. The incompetence will be wiped under the rug. The deliberate holding back information and not adequate precautions will not be easily to be proven, yet it creates the narrative for the mobilisation. Fear is Russia’s weapon of mass destruction, the lies are the instruments to fire those weapons.

“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.”

Meanwhile the population will be starving again in the annual food shortage.

I think lack of sleep could be at play here too 😴

All because the tough diaper leader is afraid to massively conscript in the largest cities. That is why the vast majority of recruits, that have not been convicts, are from poor and ethnic minority regions.

Kind of same behaviour as some other Übermenschen from about 85+ years ago…

Edit: better link and context.
