Yep, especially because chip manufacturing has such a massive barrier to enter.

Old device? Ooh, that’s suspicious.

And as we all know, they’re going to say that not using a Genuine™ Android® Operating System is extremely suspicious.

Don’t overthink the metaphor. These things are fragile and fall apart. The “door with a lock” is the “guarantee” (wink wink) that the operating system won’t let programs see memory they shouldn’t be allowed to. Putting your valuables in a safe instead of sitting in the floor would be encrypting the passwords in memory in the metaphor.

Also, cyber security and physical security are very different. With cyber security you need to understand that there are orders of magnitude more people looking for simple problems. Like a criminal checking every door in the world automatically, just looking for ones that are unlocked. Someone not being a “target for master criminals” isn’t really applicable for this. Besides, that’s a critique of what level of security an individual should have, but pointing out the flaw in Edge is a critique of something that claims to be secure that isn’t.

This is sort of like saying “I leave my valuables in plain sight by my door because it has a lock on it and door locks are trustworthy.” I’m not super into cyber security and stuff but it seems like one of the most common problems is programs managing to get access to memory they shouldn’t have access to. It seems to happen all the time! Just like many locks for you door are trash.

For what it’s worth, when I read the OP my brain went to the Berlin wall, not the iron curtain. They said “iron wall,” not “Berlin wall” or “iron curtain” so I think there will be a mix of folks interpreting it each way.

As trash as LinkedIn is, I’ve gotten three of my last four jobs through there and a ton of leads and offers. Yeah, I really couldn’t imagine getting banned. That freaks me out.

I couldn’t imagine putting significant volunteer work into something that is not at least licensed under Apache, or more ideally at least LGPL.

My interpretation of the image is, “we consume x per year, we estimate there is 328x in the Appalachian area.”

I think there’s a place for that, but it really shouldn’t be your only one.

The Scottish thing is a scam because they aren’t even legally allowed to sell souvenir plots of land. Like obviously nobody in their right mind thinks it makes you a Lord or Lady, but they don’t even sell you the land!!!

Depends on what they’re selling. If it’s not a necessity and more of a luxury then people will buy a lot less when prices rise a lot. They’re losing it because people are buying less of their products, not because the company is paying the tariff.

I’m posting this from the men’s bathroom.

If you want to create a safe space for men, nothing is stopping you. Be the change you want to see instead of complaining about women doing it. How do you think they got it? They made it and fought for it.

No cheeses for us meeces :(

I actually love octopods. Somehow sounds the least weird of them all.

Flipendo!

I once heard someone describe legacy systems as systems without test coverage. I think it’s not the best description, but it’s certainly an interesting perspective.

It’s part of why it bothers me when folks say they use LLMs to make unit tests. If anything, you should be writing tests by hands to get a solid specification then let the AI make the code. Of course this is a false dichotomy, but I’m just saying if you have to choose between those two options in some weird hypothetical bizarro world.

Seeing you reply made me click the link, where is my beloved! At least the new owners want to keep it Zombo.

Misread the headline as removing instead of adding. Was very confused.
