Yeah, a cheap smart phone is like £70. That’s pretty cheap to have a GPS tracker and way to contact them wherever they are.
Most of the more worrying aspects can be locked down, but I suspect most parents wouldn’t know how to do that.
It’s not my fault that Buttle’s heart condition didn’t appear on Tuttle’s file!
Not just Americans. First world nations in general. That’s about 20% of the population in there, so the top 5% of US, Europe, Japan, Australia, etc. We’re talking the upper middle class. $100K pre-tax gets you there easily, and thanks to rising prices of housing, I doubt most of them feel very rich at all.
The billionaires are holding big numbers as well, and there’s a few of those dotted around the world, but I’d imagine they’re mostly concentrated in first world countries. If you can live anywhere, why would you live in a craphole?
Course you can. I never even touched the multiplayer.
I attempted to load it back on the PS3, sat in a queue for about ten minutes and gave up. Probably for the best.
It’s just renamed itself.
When we no longer need their oil.
Reckon an Echo Dot would fit in a clay pigeon flinger?
When I had my bathroom done, they put some speakers in the ceiling I could connect to with bluetooth, but in order to activate that I need to use a crappy app to swap them to speaker mode and turn them on.
When I got a new phone, guess which app no longer works on versions of Android that Noah himself didn’t use to track his fucking animals?
Bonus: Every power cut causes it to enter “detuned radio mode”, requiring me to find my old phone, charge it up enough to power on, connect to the speakers and switch them off.
Never buy anything from EISSound.
Really need to get around to figuring out the spec of the speakers so I can replace the controller…
And if anybody is wondering if that exists, it’s called Home Assistant.
That was a Player 2 controller if ever I saw one.
That horrendous AI Muskthing will haunt my dreams…
Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning
Motherfucker trying to raise an army of Gastons over there.
Funny, I don’t remember PC gamers flipping out when they had to make UPlay accounts and Rockstar Social Club accounts to play those games on Steam. Those were single player as well.
Depends which way round you look at the slice.
Well he is a Kennedy.
The only reason they still make normal-people headlines is because one of them made president and then got his brains tipped out into the back of a car.
Without that, they’d undoubtedly just still be lurking richly in the background, pulling the odd string like some sort of underground eldritch abomination.
Yeah, the AI stuff is suffering from this right now.
It has generated the best bullshit it can, and is now unable to differentiate it from the human created content it uses to learn from.
If they did it to the IDF, I doubt many would have an issue with it. Military is always a valid target in war.
If it was done to random civilians, then most would.
It all hinges on just how targeted the attack is, and how much you believe Mossad’s claims that it was all Hezbollah. We’ve seen their claims on bombing Hamas militants, and I doubt everyone in those 8 floor residential buildings were all Hamas members.
It’s not just the batteries, you need a way to blow them up remotely and reliably.
This wasn’t just some wonky batteries shoved into legit devices. This was an entire operation to make fake pagers and walkie talkies. The batteries were probably the only legit things in them.
Fortunately these are simple devices that you can probably replicate the guts of with a few dollars of off the shelf parts. You’re not going to be able to fake an iPhone like this. Cheaper to just drop bombs at that point. And tbh, if it was something expensive like an iPhone, Hezbollah wouldn’t have bought a thousand of them.
Low beams were fine until idiots started putting them four feet above the ground. Now they’re in the eyes of anyone not driving a monster truck.
I’m going to assume that by “some” they really mean “the rich ones where mummy and daddy have provided a massive deposit”
