Maybe EVs and solar panels weren’t such a bad idea after all.

I’ve clicked off the article now but most was due to Samsung Electronics headquarters moving from New Jersey to Texas and then some in India.

This was supposed to be satire but I just saw 10 days ago they laid off or notified intended dismissal of 1,000 people.

Yay for capitalism!

If history has taught us anything, Samsung will soon cut 5,000 jobs as part of “essential restructuring”.

I completely understand your point here, I just worry that we are the same point in history where people just hadn’t connected the dots yet.

There is a genocide going on in Gaza, there is ethnic cleaning going on in the USA and the NHS has handed off (to at least some small degree) who gets what medical treatment and when to AI.

Plalantir is involved in all of this and we may find out how much in the years and decades to come.

The comparison is undercooked, but it may just need some more time and a few more leaks…. Oh look Peter Thiel just said the Pope is “working for the Chinese communists”

But they have:

• enabled ICE to hunt, deport, torture and kill protestors and asylum seekers in the US

• provided the targeting data for Israel in the Gaza genocide.

• described those supportive of the NHS as suffering form Stockholm Syndrome

• finally Thiel himself is a well known white supremacist who is anti-women anti-LGBT, and a doomsday prepper who appears to want to actively bring down society and test his own preparedness.

Well, good! But the Telegraph reporting is so right biased here it’s surreal to read.

Scheduling operating theatres needs Actual Intelligence, which is significantly cheaper than Artificial Intelligence, and doesn’t expose the entire UKs medical history to the modern equivalent of a 1940 Auschwitz medical research group.

Oh yeah - I think we switched from a very similar one which was biodegradable, i thought the whole “earth rated “ fooled me into thinking these were too! I think the old ones were called something like “beco”

These are the ones we are using ATM: https://amzn.to/3Qul0BK

Sorry it’s an Amazon link, I’m trying not to use them, so I tend to get them when doing a dog treats order, or from a local pet shop.

Good quality lavender scented biodegradable dog poo bags, they are about 3p per bag when buying ~6 months worth, but you can buy nappy bags for about 0.3p per bag. That extra 2.7p per poo is well worth it. 2 poos a day is about £10 per year to not risk getting poo on your hands, having lavender scented pockets, and less plastic usage.

Ah yes America, the embodiment of “if he jumped off a cliff would you do it as well?” Followed by “Hold my Bud Light”

This will lead to, sexual blackmail of children, suicide and financial fraud.

You should thank the UK for sacrificing so many of its citizens to show the world what peak government stupidity looks like. We thought the point was made with Brexit, but the UK says “hold my beer” one more time.

Well it kinda is the point, people will either use VPNs or go to riskier sources. I found a new site with loads of porn and all you have to do is install their browser plug-in, and video player!

Someone has been reading 1984… I’m not disagreeing with you, just saying ‘hi fellow doom reader’.

I’ve stopped watching YouTube shorts because of this, and the removal of the downvote count makes it harder to tell.

This may be the difference here, I have never broken a phone, my iPhone 6 became my dads and is still going, and my current phone is the iPX I bought over 8 years ago.

You probably need to take better care of your stuff. 😀

Where are you getting an iPhone for less than $160 that still gets security updates??

I can replace my iPX for about $200 for a refurbished one, but not get an 11 which will only have 9 more months of updates. I can probably get a used 11 with an already trashed (<70%) battery for $160.

You just reminded me I still have an inspection camera which can only work with software that requires Windows XP, last time I used it I had to run it on a virtual machine on my laptop, it’s been a few years, I probably don’t have the VM anymore. The camera works perfectly, I wish I’d paid the extra for the one with its own screen.

I’m going to respectfully disagree; had the phone kept shutting down you would have gone to Apple or a 3rd party repairer and got a new battery for 30-80£€$.

By masking the real issue and just giving you a poor experience, you wonder if it was always like that, or if there is something wrong at all, maybe you compare it with a snappy new phone and decide to upgrade for 1000£€$

Not come across that one, maybe it didn’t affect iOS 16, so us iPhone X users are safe?

It is funny that all the responses so far have been about phones.
