There’s still valid concern about this being a foot in the door tactic. Once an OS complies with this request what will the next one be? Why should this even be allowed?

Either way though, the reddit citation is a bit unnerving.

Ironically, my first instinct to opening that page and seeing it’s unusual layout and density on mobile was to switch to the reader view. Immediately getting hit with the cyphertext output. Cool, I guess.

And what do you think that polling rate was to fill up a 512 GB SD card? It’s all speculation but this isn’t a super collider, we shouldn’t need sub second polling of a vehicle that can only move 5.6 km/h.

“Please help us, we overcomplicated billing and don’t want to explain it to anyone”

Honestly surprised nobody has tried to sell some bolt on diffusing/screen mask for this reason

The problem here being these payment processors are global and none of this is illegal in the jurisdictions affected. This regional blocking, while nice, shouldn’t even need to be a “solution” to this. It’s a sledgehammer “solution” to something that was never enough of an issue for actual legislation.

Well, to be fair the 10 series was actually an impressive improvement to what was available. Since then I switched to AMD for better SW support. I know since then the improvements have dwindled.

Those have all been replaced with em dashes (—)

Why? They are just bringing to light the tools already being used by corps behind closed doors.

Edit: Seems the author wants to paint a different picture. Either extreme CYA or you were correct.

Nah man, waterfall technique applies to everything.

I could never write essays by hand. Too often I would write out a paragraph just to read it, break it up, and subsequently rewrite both parts.

I’ll keep saying it, this is called a Word Processor. They were cool when they were simple microcontrollers and LCD displays, not so much now.
