…why? What’s the point?

Open it up and desolder the networking chip. It’s the only way to be sure. Hope you’ve got a heat gun!

Laws without enforcement are just suggestions.

That’s just how electronics recycling is, though. The amount of labor it would take to save all those SMT and BGA components is ridiculous and, honestly, is a pretty specialized skill even if it is easy to learn. The logistics of scale really makes it unreasonable, especially when simpler components can be had for literal pennies. There’s a point where the material cost of the copper is worth more than the labor it takes to do anything else with the board, and it happens a lot sooner than you think.

Having, had, what’s the difference?

People shock me every day. On one hand, it’s impressive that they have the skills or knowhow to be in the positions they are… and then you find out they believe the Earth is flat or they can’t spell or understand grammar to save their lives. It’s truly baffling at times.

I use Facebook (I know) daily and I go out of my way to hide and/or report every ad I see. The vast majority are displayed alongside Reels (which is its own problem) but a few are just… regular reels, masquerading as ads. It’s incredibly frustrating. I don’t expect anything to be done, similar to my reporting hate speech against gay and trans folks.

You’ve never been in a precarious financial situation in the states, then.

Almost like questioning an AI is free while a therapist costs a LOT of money.

I don’t know anyone that isn’t using Indeed or LinkedIn these days.

Get a VPN.

I mean, it is too late. Canceled my sub, won’t be coming back.

Because too many people in too many industries that would be negatively affected have too much money.

im curious what having it open sourced will benefit

MS won’t have to pay their own people to work on it anymore.

If it flies it spies.

Well, to be fair, my old Series 4 was a refurb, so the waterproofing likely wasn’t factory fresh.

I had the Series 4 awhile back, and it died after a very shallow dip in the water. Took the opportunity to upgrade to the Ultra 1, and I see absolutely no reason to upgrade past it. It isn’t fundamentally different than… well, the other Apple Watches, beyond having a button you can’t set to do anything particularly useful and having an ever so slightly larger screen (which is the main reason I got it).

They do this in the French course. Half the time it still can’t understand what I’m saying. Maybe that’s on me, but still. C’est la vie.

Tell that to Facebook. Shit, I’ll talk about something with my wife and see ads about it ten minutes later. Been happening for years.

I’m glad I did so just before Trump got elected again. I’m also glad I got a GPU when I did, despite the ridiculous cost.
