Doesn’t have to he illegal at all... I refuse to give up having control because of stupid backwards laws.

well yeah, if you pretend the laws don't exist then nothing has to be illegal.

the battle between ad-blockers and ad-blocker-blockers is eternal. adblockers will adapt.

if i block ads, it's only fair that google tries to block my blocking of their ads. calling this "enshittification" is silly, they didn't make their product worse they just are doing a better job of enforcing the rule that's always been there.

"droid" was actually a verizon brand, not motorola or google. any droid-branded phone was a verizon rebranding of a phone that was sold as something else outside the US.

but yeah, android never existed outside of google. Google bought out android before their first public release.

password rotation is generally not considered a "best practice" but not doing something because it's not a best practice is only a good strategy if you're actually going to follow the best practices. password rotation is less effective than a good password manager and long randomly generated passwords that are unique to each site. requiring passwords be rotated can be an impediment to using strong unique passwords, which is why it's not a good practice.

but a freshly rotated "MyNewPassword15" is a million times better than your password being "password", or being the same thing you use on every sketchy website whose database has been breached a dozen times.

it seemed like a really weird decision for OpenAI to have an AI classifier in the first place. their whole business is to generate output that's good enough that it can't be distinguished from what a human might produce, and then they went and made a tool to try and point out where they failed.

nothing about using a USB-C cable inherently means it has to support USB3.

framing it as "limits it to USB 3 Speeds" is misleading. iPhone has only ever supported USB 2, all they're doing here is continuing to not upgrade to USB 3. the meeting where somebody proposed it went like this:

hey, should we put a USB 3 chip in the new iPhone?
nah, let's just keep using the same one as the last generation

yeah, elon's not going to see the negative consequences of this personally, because he'll just use the "ban" button instead of the "block" button.

he offered to buy twitter for a joke, and he actually did buy twitter because a court forced him to. not because this was some grand plan to accomplish anything - he literally spent months in court arguing that he shouldn't have to buy twitter, and he lost. that's the only reason he owns twitter now.
