because a printer that was $800 in 1995 is now $49

Anecdotally, it has 10x my ability at rapid prototyping.

and it only needed the power supply of Germany to do it.

according to a new report by lawmakers,

So a bunch of failed lawyers.

They are still allowed to call it oat milk they just can’t imply that it is dairy milk in their advertising.

You should see what searching was like on AltaVista. You’d have to scroll past dozens of posts of random numbers and letters to find anything legible. Click through and your computer would emit a cacophony of bell sounds and pour out screens of random nonsense and then freeze permanently. You had to rely on links and web-rings to navigate with any degree of success.

And that in itself was a massive improvement on what was available before.

They’re not NK soldiers.

NK is still at war with the south, they’re not sending any troops there, just inmates of prison camps.

They haven’t been banned yet.

The law doesn’t come into effect until the end of next year after the govt determines how the ban will be enforced.

Australia has over 90% and doesn’t have PR.

NZ does not have PR. It has constituencies like Britain, with multiple members based on a quota.

You talk as if this is some sort of special trick.

You’re able to work around those things precisely because they have been designed to be turned off.

Running a business system with the TPM turned off is madness, whcih will pretty much guarantee a ransomware attack,.

None of the changes including TPM requirements required a new iteration.

This is completely wrong.

The TPM is a hardware feature, so you need to update the whole system. The software patch is too slow to be useful.

The uptake level is expected given falling PC sales and the fact that upgrading is limited.

Olives, canola and soy beans are all the same thing - they are all fruits not seeds.

The 400 if you acidentally stepped on it it’d flip back and bark your shin, you’d fall over and put your foot through it. that’s why there’s so few today.

I don’t think your corn growers would be very happy with that.

Whatever, they’ll still vote Republican.

Hey fuck this shit

Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

This sentence is a mess.

The Nazi part wasn’t formed until the 1920s.

South Africa was run by the British in the early 20th century. The Afrikaners were at this point, completely disenfranchised after the Boer War.

It wasn’t until the 1940s under the National party (yes, there were named after the German National party !). that the Afrikaners and English began to share power.

I’m guessing that, like GDPR in the EU, it will apply to any and all social media website on the internet, but for practical reasons, can’t really be enforced outside of the legislating authorities’ jurisdiction.

The legislation specifically gives the Act extra-territorial powers to enforce the ban against foreign websites.

Reddit is specifically targetted ; it will definitely include Lemmy.

Now, if a parent helps their child do it anyway, the parent and child can’t get in trouble, but the platform can, because platforms cannot knowingly allow children to use the app, even with explicit parental consent and supervisio

Not correct. An inadverdent act is not illegal, but circumventing telecommunication controls is a criminal offence under the Telecommunications Act, with penalties up to 20 years imprisonment.

If you get your YT account banned, and that happens all the time becasue the bots are going nuts, you will lose gmail as well.
