No, because it will spend most of its time after leaving the store in your home.

Like a record, baby.

Cell service is always turned on on a phone, even with no SIM card and the phone in airplane mode, and for most phones, even when the phone is “off”. They still ping the local towers semi regularly; they just don’t ramp up transmission power ir try to establish a full connection.

Anyone got a list of Bluetooth devices without a cell antenna where the BT MAC is regularly scrambled?

The gamification, closed protocol and grey patterns make sense? It really doesn’t have to be that way.

That said, up to this point, Discord at least appears to have made a good faith attempt at providing a useful service while also making a profit. I suspect we’re about to see the dial crank over into “turn a profit for the next quarterly report” territory.

I suspect that was purely a pressure tactic against the US; the F-35 orders are still being financed and production hasn’t halted.

Which seems crazy to me, because the F-35 design can be fully remotely controlled by the US military, which also collects all telemetry.

I was thinking the same thing; we don’t have an executive, we have a cabinet. Sure, Carney has set up a small group of ministers as a kind of mini executive and himself thinks in executive terms, but even with all that, the Prime Minister can’t act without majority cabinet support.

Other ideas: play Pokemon Go or try geocaching as a hobby. The main thing that gets you over that weirdness barrier is feeling like there’s a reason for you being where you are — like you belong there. The only way to get that is through exposure, but the easiest way to get THAT is to already have a reason to be there.

Geocaching will only work if there’s others doing it in your area, but it will also give you a sense of community and connection, which will help when going other places. Plus, both things are global, so you can take them with you anywhere.

This is a good idea; having a purpose really helps.

You could also try running short distances in running gear. The “uniform” helps as it becomes your mobile safe place, and the effort and endorphins the running generates keep away the feelings of depression.

And because you can’t get as far away from home as you can on a bike, you can easily get back home (and you’re already running).

Maybe 25% of the RISC-V market? Like, they’re now meeting 1/4 of the demand?

Sure… but the metaphor glosses over the fact that they haven’t really told us anything of interest. It SOUNDS good, but there’s no way to tell how significant it actually is.

Fusion breakthroughs have sounded good since the 90s, but we’re still the proverbial 10 years away from anything useful.

All the non-profits I know have a marketing person or department. Some outsource.

Donating to this would be very beneficial for all involved.

How that MIGHT change things?

Just look at every other tech company in the space that’s gone public to see how it WILL change things. It’s not a mystery at this point.

I almost pivoted that way years ago. I even took the company’s mandatory drug test. At the end of the day though, it wasn’t a good match.

But I found that industrial automation companies and the companies that use their systems have their own degrading steps to the hiring process. It just doesn’t tend to involve AI and digital privacy invasion.

“This product tested on free range mice.”

At this point, it seems like we should have super mice that live forever; we seem to have cured all their issues, as well as a bunch they’ve never experienced in nature.

Seems to me like Pirate Television should be really easy these days….

Most Google trackers currently capture the information provided by the website (at a minimum, domain and URL), your IP address and Google account ID if you’re logged in. There’s lots of leeway as to how much additional information the site provides, though.

Believe what you want… if you aren’t bleaching your plastic cutting boards, you’re breeding bacteria. Wood has anti microbial properties that leeps this under control. See the link upstream for one of the best studies on the topic.

I tossed mine and got a new one.

Plastic needs to be bleached for 30 minutes to remove contamination. A dishwasher won’t be enough.

Dishwashers aren’t some magical tool. They just wash so you don’t have to.

Well, that and… I put wood boards through the dishwasher all the time. Not end grain blocks, but regular low profile boards.
