“We know your IP address”. No kidding, that’s how IPv4 works, even if the browser wasn’t leaking offering it.

They clearly only read the headline

Bold of you to assume any of this will be encrypted.

Weird. Every time I rent a dumpster, I pay up front. I only owe more if the weight goes above a certain threshold, which it never has.

SMB on MacOS has had performance issues for a long, long time. It doesn’t implement SMB very well, and all the Samba hackery people need to go through to work around it is basically just lived with. rsync is much better because of this.

400kbps would be slow as hell, for all of those use cases. Video would be unusable, but other stuff would still be insanely slow with all the bloat in modern websites and tracking crap in apps.

That article reads like a ChatGPT summary, though I’m not sure if that’s partially due to translation from German or not.

The only Korean-to-American remake I can think of off-hand is Oldboy. The remake was OK but it was a far cry from being even a shadow of the original.

I’m aware. Several issues there.

1. They use / buy lists of people to robo-dial
2. They don’t bother opt-out request handling on those lists reliably
3. The opt-out process is per-campaign, not party-wide, so the process is an endless cycle for all party candidates, and even the same ones running in future elections. Because we have no way to our out at the party level, the data is basically always there.

This is by no means am exhaustive list.

It’s too bad the GPU prices are utter insanity due to the LLM pyramid scheme poaching global RAM. I read an article yesterday that said Apple is likely eating that RAM overhead as a loss to ensure their long term strategy.

While I agree, my point was that encoding needs to be more efficient, both in time, and resource consumption. That isn’t quite there yet, for AV1. It is improving, albeit slowly.

The DNC just gives it to any Dem campaign. RNC is the same. I use SMS Filter+.

I think political calls are basically exempt from it, anyways.

“Prior consent” is basically moot if you ever donate to a y campaign, ever, because you have to provide a real phone number. Or if you sign a petition your party is running, or somehow end up having that party get your number some other legitimate way. They have no way to prove (or you to disprove) your consent.

I just treat them all as spam, and report/block accordingly.

iOS 26 gave people the built-in call screening, which has been amazing for weeding out garbage calls, at least. Text messages are a different evil, but there are apps you can use to trash text messages that contain specific words, etc.

Better hardware encoder support would help, too. It’s insanely inefficient to encode without that dedicated hardware, compared to h264/h265, where dedicated hardware support is there.

I was hoping Apple would add it when they shipped the M4, and now M5, but nope.

So does Claude. Just because the user-facing features forget it, doesn’t mean the company does.

forcing

Yeah, those poor capitalists forced to jack up prices to take advantage of shortages.

This is where he surrenders the US to Russia, right?

I was arguing with the point of “repeatedly” being a determining factor for having to have this device. It’s not reality, once is enough.

They lost their license for 2 years. The equipment was required to get it back.

Nice straw man. Murder != drunk driving.
