Yeah, delivery is cheap because the drivers are treated like shit: https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/trending-china/article/3274864/desperate-china-courier-begs-guard-mercy-knees-after-toppling-fence-sparking-protest

Kind of like how BYD cars are cheap because they’re built with slave labor.

Don’t get me wrong, the US has similar problems. But there’s more to the story than just cheap eggs.

When you’ve got bad shit in your blood, the most effective remedy is to just remove some blood and let the body make some new, clean blood.

And then soon after CPS will be called and they’ll take away the kid and I don’t even want to think about where they’ll send them.

Well yeah it’s never really been about what they say it is

Yeah probably.

It’s only difficult because you’re making it difficult. There is a balance between security and convenience, and you choose where you want to land on that spectrum. If that means Google products are useful to you, then just use them.

Good luck getting any of them to actually crawl it though. Most models are trained on datasets like reddit comments, not by crawling sites like search indexers.

I’ll be putting a bunch of these in my wallpaper folder.

And that’s why net neutrality is important!

OEM license keys have been stored in the BIOS for several versions now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Locked_Pre-installation

For 99% of drivers, the on-disc ones are enough to get up and running, and as long as you have an Internet connection you can download any that aren’t on-disc. The remaining 1% can be obtained directly from the OEM. Modem Windows is very good about this.

The turmoil is manufactured. Nobody actually gives a shit except Fox News being livid about companies having the woke, and people who regurgitate it.

That’s one factor, yes. Both is better.

You can just reinstall base Windows at that time, either plain or your OEM version if they provide it. There’s not much use in preserving the current image.

The article also says he gave multiple stories.

As long as you’re on board with systemic racism, sure. DEI programs were created to address historic discrimination against minorities.

The OS isn’t really the deciding factor here.

No, a dd image is just a raw stream of bits. It doesn’t care about filesystems, neither inside nor outside the file.

Manipulative algorithms, yes.

it was possible to print quality microscope lenses using a photopolymerizing clear resin on a Mars 3 Pro printer. In developing the specifications for their lenses, they followed those of the Edmund Optics 12.7 mm diameter plano-convex lens, which has a focal length of 35 mm

I didn’t open the paper to read more, but that’s the important bit if you’re curious like me.
