lol Microslop gonna Microslop

And yet, the marketing for these systems keeps getting more and more hyped.

I’m not sure it will, because Asahi isn’t selling anything, and hardware that Apple EOLs is hardware that Apple doesn’t care as much about

For even more fun, look into the FAA’s “regulation” of Boeing, which was effectively “do you super duper pinky promise that you followed the rules?”

Seriously, the verification was done by Boeing and then reported back to the FAA

Wow how about no? What the actual fuck?

I think he’s a tool, but credit where it’s due: it’s great that he’s supporting the movement, and he does have a huge following.

Be more specific.

In response to the quote you cited:

What if the orange regime decides to go balls to the wall on Greenland? What’s the play? Roll over and acquiesce? Ask them to stop, while they categorically ignore the requests, and likely clown on the relative powerlessness of the EU military apparatus?

Seriously, if any senior officer in the EU can’t see that for the clear and present danger that it is, they should be fired. Of course it’s a dangerous situation. But decades of letting EU defense atrophy is how they got here, and hard choices are now becoming necessary. Better to start the process and endure the pain now, than to be forced into even worse compromises due to imminent or active military action.

AI enables them to automate the generation of shitty code for broken systems even more efficiently

I feel like publishing it like this effectively neuters the security aspect…?

God this timeline is so fucking dumb

Considering they are talking about making a replacement service, probably just GitHub/codeberg/etc and collab edit docs and discussions at the start, and then eat your own dogfood.

The law isn’t going to be enforced in CA either

As always with any secure system: the weakest link tends to be the meatbags.

Hot fuzz is a fantastic movie lol

Lol yep, newfies are borderline unparseable sometimes. The character Hitch from Shoresy will give you a relatively mild taste of the accent, and sometimes it sounds like he’s speaking gibberish.

It Can’t Happen Here

It can; it is; we have been watching the progression for decades; the vast majority of people didn’t notice because of how slow and creeping and careful it was for most of the preceding several decades.

technical reason

Technical != financial

Yeah, but at the same time, it has WAY better performance than traditional SODIMMs. The primary technical reason laptops had RAM soldered for so long was because the transfer speed became problematic with that physical format under DDR5. LPCAMM2 removes that bandwidth constraint, and maintains user serviceability.
