You should see what searching was like on AltaVista. You’d have to scroll past dozens of posts of random numbers and letters to find anything legible. Click through and your computer would emit a cacophony of bell sounds and pour out screens of random nonsense and then freeze permanently. You had to rely on links and web-rings to navigate with any degree of success.

And that in itself was a massive improvement on what was available before.

Joe is short for Java, so a cup of ta ?

…because its the articles which are not gendered, not the nouns.

You talk as if this is some sort of special trick.

You’re able to work around those things precisely because they have been designed to be turned off.

Running a business system with the TPM turned off is madness, whcih will pretty much guarantee a ransomware attack,.

None of the changes including TPM requirements required a new iteration.

This is completely wrong.

The TPM is a hardware feature, so you need to update the whole system. The software patch is too slow to be useful.

The uptake level is expected given falling PC sales and the fact that upgrading is limited.

Australia.

Amaysim, $10 a year.

calls 10c a min. text 5c. 1 GB of internet.

I just have it for calls coming in.

Otherwise you pay $10 a month but you get unlimited calls and text and I think a few GB of internet.

Hey fuck this shit

If you get your YT account banned, and that happens all the time becasue the bots are going nuts, you will lose gmail as well.

Identification would need to be handled by a 3rd party to even remotely work. Then they pass on the “yes they’re over 16” tick to the social media platform, with no actual identity details.

The legislatiion specifically allows SM sites to handle ID.

I don’t see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :

1. Uploading ID to the website.

2. 3D face scanning. This will include continual monitoring so if another person comes into view they will have to face scan in. Remember, its prohibited for chidren to even watch prohibited content with their parents.

The law does not require users to upload government IDs as part of the verification process.

No, it merely requires the sites to provide an alternative, such as face scanning using a mobile phone unlock. Using a computer ? Then you’ll have hand over your ID.

The law also explicitly gives sites the right to onsell private information if its outlined in the terms of agrrement.

Second, You could easily use a fake ID or fake identity to get a cellphone

You don’t actually need any ID in the US to set up a phone account. You could be anyone.

Prepaid phones don’t need an ID.

Well under that logic why bother with any business expenses ?

Why bother with labour laws, or income tax, or work insurance, or workers compo, or environmental laws ?

Because they are all costs on business. And you can bet the foreign manufacturer doesn’t comply with anything like the US regulations.

Look at the any post about Israel or trans.

The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post might get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.

A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, they now get well under 500.

With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.

BTW, almost all the bots on reddit are produced by the moderators of that subreddit.

I’m not sure about the touch displays on cars.

How long does a Chinese tablet last, 10, 12 years ? If you keep it safely stored and don’t drop it.

The things in cars seem to be even cheaper, they only use phone uPs designed to last no more than a few years. And they’re roasted in hot weather, frozen and shaken to bits.

Good luck finding one of them in a few years, assuming they can be taken out at all without ripping up the dash.
