Not great, honestly.

Also never ask it to solve a picture of a crossword.

That’ll literally never happen due to testing and safety requirements.

Fingerprints are fake science and not really admissible in court these days. You actually do share your fingerprint with other humans, at least on the scales we can measure it, and thus it’s unreliable. The only reason it works for phones/etc is that a 1 in 50,000 false positive rate is “good enough”.

Indeed. You’d be shocked the amount of people I’ve spoken with that believe otherwise. They see the positive side of the numbers and don’t think about the long term implications for even a moment it seems.

Wait till you find out the literal billions Georgia (USA) gives away to filmmakers via a tax credit that’s been proven to not be more effective than social programs by a significant margin at generating community wealth…

😴 Sure buddy. Sure. You’re the coolest narcissistic asshole I know.

You’re just a bundle of joy. Bet people like having you around at parties.

Multicast still requires more expensive less widespread bandwidth than sending out analog signals ota & shooting off a few packets of encryption information every now and then. US infrastructure has rapidly improved over the past few years, but we’re still a farcry from anything robust and reliable enough to serve the people benefiting from this type of content.

How I imagine you responding to your singular downvoter:

While I almost completely agree with you, never underestimate the power of using the right tool for the right job. HDMI is actually far more resilient to signal corruption in my experience than display port since it implements TMDS and the cables are more commonly well shielded since they expect them to be used in device dense environments, which isn’t really applicable to anyone familiar with technology (don’t group up your cables next to something with significant RF noise/leaks, duh.) but does matter for the end user use case these see. The fees hdmi charge are a scam though fr and we could ask better from the industry.

Seems fine. They’re providing food, overtime pay, and pto for use at a future date. That’s a better deal than a lot of employees get. Obviously this isn’t how I think we should do work/living, but that’s about as fair of a compromise as you’re going to see in this particular industry at this time unless you’re extremely lucky.

Yeah… That type of brainwashing is so commonplace now though. Just look at how the US is treating striking dock workers, people keep talking about how they make xxx,xxx and not how the ceos make xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx like it’s the workers being greedy… 🥲

“Ah, alas. Another weakening of protections for the individual while strengthening those for the collective and wealthy.”

Bandwidth is cheaper from the tower since the signal is the “same” for each client and it can then be distributed over a wide area. You send the “DRM” (Just a fancy encryption key) over the network since it’s relatively small and likely unique to each device (probably fingerprinting the device ids to the content invisibily in case of piracy).

90% mobile phones my guy.

And a pickup of gains from sending just the delta of changed data for one of their passive update beacons.

A pre-registered checksum will ensure that the downloaded file is what it says it is before running. So yes, it is safe. Unless you’ve found a collision in the checksum algorithm apple is using, although the chances are better that you’ll squeeze water out of dry desert sand.

(Edit: To those thinking they’ll rely on just code signing for this, you’re likely way off base.)

I’m human, and I’m speaking on the issues of self discovery, a progress path we can all share as people learning who they are, so maybe you shouldn’t assume I’m stepping where I have no ground.

As for being told something made me gay, I have been. I’ve been told it was sexual assault (that did not occur) when I was young. I’ve been told it was the media and my friends. I’ve had those experiences, and yes, I know that we’re born that way now but I did not always have the space to make that discovery. I lived a life where I thought there had to be a reason because I thought it was a negative quality in myself. I hated it because I grew up around others who hated it. Insults behind closed doors, threats of violence and hate, and I agree with you that if they believed it was the reason they discovered their identity, they have more to learn. That does not mean they have learned it.
