I just upgraded to the 9 and assume it’s scraping every bit of data it can from me. I will do it this weekend.

Sorry, no way I am going back to Samsung. I had the A71 and it was a TERRIBLE smart phone. I switched to the Pixel 6 and it was night and day.

I just need to get off my ass and install Graphene.

And this article is 10 years old. It has gotten so much worse.

Don’t get me wrong. The Iran - Contra affair was a terrible circumvention of U.S. law and North deserved to go to prison and Reagan should have been impeached.

However, this post is a mischaracterization of that event.

This was part of an overall plan to get American hostages released.

That being said, we sold arms to Iran, who was fighting Iraq (a U.S. ally at the time), and one of the intermediaries we used was fucking Israel.

Yup, Israel helped us sell arms to Iran. So Iran can turn around and use them against an ally.

North was then made a fall guy.

I was younger when this happened but I recall, at the time, it was characterized as we just sold them parts for their airplanes and defensive arms.

Man, we just can’t stop fucking our face with our own foot.

Right

Listen, I hate that fucking South African douchebag as much as the next guy, but Space X has fucking dominated the space race. No one even comes close to them.

They turned the industry upside down, and have more launches then the rest of the world combined. In fact it’s not even close.

That you can’t separate the success of Space X from Musk, is a you problem.

Sure it sucks that he benefits from their success, but also, no one believes that Musk has anything to do with their successes either.

The repeated failures of Starship is surprising but if you can’t appreciate what a phenomenal achievement the landing of the super heavy was, then you don’t really understand the industry enough to be commenting on it.

Appreciating Space X accomplishments does not make you an Elon boi.

Half his gig is space and is he supposed to leave Space X out of his articles?

He talked about the Longmarch as well. I guess that makes him a terrible Chinese apologist.

She’s awesome. I love Eric Berger’s contributions too.

Ooh, more baseless claims of China’s technological advancement.

I’ll file this in the bullshit folder with the rest of their bullshit claims.

Google has gotten so fucking dumb. Literally incapable of performing the same function it could 4 months ago.

How the fuck am I supposed to trust Gemini!?

This will NOT keep your jacket from wrinkling in luggage, a drawer, or a shelf.

Maybe if you hang it up after folding. /S

Is this Lindsey Graham, floating an argument to TRUMP, to support Ukraine, or is this Lindsey Graham introducing a narrative pathway for Trump SUPPORTERS to support Ukraine?

FYI, this is a troll.

Thank you!

When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it’s collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

I would be willing to pay an initial setup fee followed by some maintenance fee. I would expect the initial fee to be significant due to a custom setup/requirements. (I am talking just setup, not cost of hardware/ physical installation).

Unique home network with 2 managed switches.

Self hosted security DVR, automated computer backup, photo backup, network drive for document storage and then self hosting a Jellyfin server along with a torrent service.

(I am sweating just thinking about trying to set that up)

Storage will be a RAID setup where I can just upgrade by throwing a new drive into an open slot and replace (as necessary) existing drives by just swapping them out and server automatically handles the data management.

I have a VAGUE idea of what that takes

Maintenance would cover service calls to resolve problems due to security updates/patches, end of life upgrades, normal planned maintenance type of stuff.

User caused issues should be extra :) (i.e. I was just trying to install a Minecraft server)

Couple hundred bucks, at least, for setup. And that seems cheap.

I would pay $10-20 a month for a maintenance fee after an initial setup fee.

I would MUCH rather give my money to an individual sysadmin than a corporate megalith that will use my membership to force an arbitration clause to any future service of theirs I use. Fuck the mouse. Fuck em all. I tried to do it right and that still want enough for them.

I would be happy if I could pay you to just set up and periodically check my setup. I only say that because I would probably want to put together something that cost more than $150. But I am absolutely overwhelmed by what I don’t know. Every tutorial I read gives me more questions than answers.

I just want to self host, share it with a close circle of friends, and keep everyone else’s noses out of my business.

Because they were going to dump it themselves and were trying to lay the groundwork to blame WSB?

They are seriously trying to blame WSB for this?. LMAO, Fuck Spez.

This is a TERRIBLY written article.
