All I hear is NFTs

The IMDB scores on his movie projects averaged out are objectively shit… the article was being so kind to him lol

He will sue you!!

Neocities is it’s own vibe all together.

There wasn’t much JS used on Geocities pages typically

That said, Neocities is the shit

If you are really good at what you do you could avoid a lot of the mess by driving a classic. (Scouring junkyards)

The real challenge though isn’t just that the parts will have tariffs; It seems like auto parts in general have taken a massive hit in quality

Tariffs are new.

They will push average prices even higher but the average new car price has been around 40k for a few years now.

It’s crazy to me. I just focus on my personal debts and pay off timelines and ignore my credit score these days.

Banks were willing to give me mortgages a couple of months ago that I in no way could afford based off my score (it’s actually good). None of this is grounded in reality; prior to 2020 those same fucks wouldn’t even pick up the phone for me.

… Try that shit in a small town?

Not the arbitrary made up numbers that some how go down every time I pay off a car loan!!!

I have been on the other side of the equation professionally speaking.

I think we mostly agree.

The auditors were certainly not malicious, they can simply only see what they can observe.

Appealing to authority without explaining the caveats is risky to do and disingenuous to people who need to take security very seriously right now.

A potential vector or matter of concern does not mean there is a compromise. Without evidence of a hack or compromise you just have the idea that something could happen.

The app model in general has meant that we have given up tremendous amounts of privacy and security in general for the sake of connivence.

If I were the developer of this app I would’ve approached things from the inception with the question of “How do I get people to trust me who absolutely should not trust me?”

That said, it is always easier to tear down than it is to build.

If I were an at risk individual I would likely opt to use the app myself assuming I could share general location instead of specific location. In areas like LA there is likely a lot of data flowing in that would not help a malicious actor if the location is not specific.

When you do business with companies in certain industries not only is your software audited but your entire development process, business processes and staff are audited.

It’s not unreasonable to question a closed source application for something like this as one version was audited, but what about the next?

How do we know their dev process hasn’t been compromised? Or the person building app wasn’t compromised? Or that the entire thing was not compromised from the start?

Likewise, an audit without full access to code isn’t useless, but hiding behavior from an audit and for a certain period of time would be straight forward. How do you know there is not a dormant command and control system in the app that will cause it to behave in a malicious manner after a set amount of time or after a specific push notification is received?

I am not saying this is present, just that Audits like this are only able to catch what they can observe and the existence of an audit does not mean to blindly trust something

Having the App be open source would be a big step towards providing the transparency needed to address these concerns users would not have to trust anyone and can confirm the builds on the app stores match what is on their Git.

I am not pointing this out to jump on the “Don’t use this app” bandwagon. I am pointing it out to say that there are reasons to be skeptical of these sorts of things in our current political climate.

Remember Sabu and LulzSec

All a matter of preference.

I would say the most important thing to do is to pick a switch you think would be fun and then just pick the coolest looking keyboard that matches it.

The Keychron keyboards are a great starting point; They are pretty cheap so if you are unsure you won’t be too upset if you want to later try a bigger or smaller layout.

I can’t tell you my favorite layout unfortunately, I like 40%, 60%, full keyboards and even have a Kinesis (It helped me a lot with hand pain when I typed QWERTY. I recommend switching to DVORAK or another layout before spending so much money on a Kinesis these days)

Not sure, but this is an example of an incredibly narrow car that had a pretty reasonable top speed

Some of the claims seem… un reasonable but it would have to be relatively stable to hit highway speeds

In general, with tools these LLMs have the ability to bring the next generation of Alexa / HomePod like devices (though I am not sure Amazon has delivered on that vision yet)

I like the idea of running a Llama based “Assistant” that would not require all my data leaving my house which could also be accomplished with these features.

In my car though… just use my fucking phone and get out of my way

People who don’t understand and read these articles and think Skynet. People who know their buzz words think AGI

Fortune isn’t exactly renowned for its Technology journalism

At least in my state they can only really confirm or deny that you worked for them.

That’s only in an official capacity. People can say whatever they want if it is a backdoor reference.

I would ask what value chromebooks add to education?

We are not teaching kids to do anything with them other than consume Google and Adobe services.

It’s no better than schools were when I was in school where we used windows and mainly learned to consume Microsoft products.

Chromebooks are absolute garbage.

Most computers I have used over the last 15 years will disable USB power if you short out the port (working with electronics you tend to replicate the “sticking scissors into a USB port” with some regularity)

Pencil lead I am sure causes other issues though… it gets red hot and melts eventually

Love my Bolt but I have always found the Ioniq5 to be cool looking. Congratulations!!!

Uncle Tony on you tube likened air travel to jail… and I can’t shake it… I feel like a prisoner everytime I fly and HATE IT
