More likely they'll collect from phone manufacturers the IMEI of all devices which are updated, and then send police in to confiscate any device which is powered up and connects to a mobile network when not updated.
Oohhh there’s one more C vulnerability. Oh my gosh, what ever will I do? Should I buy a new smart toaster? I’m not sure. I just really don’t know what to do right now.
It’s called pay attention and f*king upgrade your packages.
I don't understand the behaviour behind "the language I'm using is better than X because it has option M and N"
I was there not so long ago when Java was supposed to replace everything, and then C# came, and then Go but my pay was still handled by COBOL that was also supposed to be better.
Both look extremely cool to me but Elon's behaviour is the only reason I'll never buy a tesla. Even though the cybertruck looks awesome but it's impossible for me to be seen in this. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd used a cybertruck in a BTTF remake
I haven't seen any other executive do a Nazi salute and some people won't buy a car based on the country of origin so I don't see why I can't dislike a brand because of its leader behaviour.
I don't know what the others think so I can't judge on that, but I can judge based of what Elon says and does.
And aside, Elon's been lying for years about everything and promising stuff Tesla can't deliver.
IMHO, there's a strong parallel between the Elisabeth Holmes/Theranos situation and Elon/Tesla.
Micro-services with docker running out of a kubernetes compliant blockchain with somewhere some "AI" added in the mix. I guess this news is more for PR than anything else because I don't see how the replacement of 69% of copper wire is meaningful in any way. What copper wires? Where? Is it because you removed landlines and replaced with voip?
I don't know what's my personal impact but since I discovered Finamp, I've been listening to my personal collection for a few months now and open spotify once a month instead of daily usage.
But I won't cut it because it's a family plan.
I also guess I'm getting older because I find music less interesting and less in phase with my taste and the Spotify algorithm is either bad in finding new stuff I like or always pushing the same 20 songs that I've listened too much.
I think overall there's been a huge amount of regression in discovery for music but also like... most other things. Recommendation algorithms tend to show you more of what you already like, which makes it incredibly hard to discover new things you might also like. Also creates a huge popularity bias where what's popular gets more popular and what isn't doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell.
One of the lost joys of the past is reading a print magazine that has no idea who you are and discovering articles not written for your demographic, but that regardless expose you to new perspectives and ideas, maybe you find a new hobby or band or whatever, and enrich your life forever. That stuff just isn't happening anymore.

yeah, it’s terrible. just plain none of the streaming services algorithms are any good, at all. apple has been the best i’ve found, but it’s still not very good.
the best methods by far are what i imagine theyve always been:
- talk to music nerds at your local record store if you have one. record stores are coming back in a big way in most mid-sized plus cities. if you’re too shy to talk to the people, most will have a wall with employee recommendations. but keep in mind, just talk to them, they like talking about music the way we like talking about computers. if you’re lucky they’ll sound to you the same way we sound when we talk to normies about tech, like gobblygook. hang in there.
- people. talk to other people. big bonus multiplier if they’re actually music wonks.
- college radio stations. they still have actual djs who play the music they actually like.
- go to concerts at your local venue. obviously, not cover bands lol.
- look up indie labels (i don’t mean indie music genre, i mean non-corporate) and watch their web pages for new releases. (a lot of them don’t have much of a social media presence so watch their web pages for their releases) non-corporate labels are the only ones putting out anything good at the moment.
I miss grooveshark. Exposed me to an absolute ton of new music, and still has what I feel was the best mobile UX. The "play now, play next, play later" buttons were genius
On which criteria? Since Margaret Thatcher said she wanted her money back, and even more since Brexit, UK is geographically in Europe, just like Switzerland or Ukraine, but definitely hasn't the "European Mindset", UK is its own thing as they've always wanted to be.
If you look at my list you see it includes both EU and non-Eu countries. IMO the non-EU country's mindset is more like that of its nearest neighbours who are in the EU. Ireland is far more like the UK than it is like any of the EU countries mentioned.
I would be interested to hear a definition of that "mindset" that includes all EU countries that excludes the UK, Norway. Switzerland, Iceland etc.
That site is AI slop with a bunch of questionable nonsense. For example, they suggest that Devin, Cognition's product, shut down. I'm not even sure where they got that information.
