It came. It’s been there for months already. This won’t lead to some final epic showdown for democracy. Democracy lost the battle this time.
This fascism won’t be voted away and the millions of assholes it emboldened now know how to do it again and face no consequences.
If this is fixable it’ll take decades to fix.
I’m sure there’s no Texan IT guys not checking the servers because they’re unpaid during the shutdown
Microsoft really shit the bed with Windows Phone.
The UI was great, it ran great on budget hardware and the high end Lumia lineup had some banger features, crazy Nokia cameras etc.
I had 2 of them and I really believed the OS would become a viable choice along with Android and iOS…and then Microsoft proceeded to do absolutely nothing with it for years. No incentives to build apps, no tools to port over existing versions for devs, never got an Instagram app, no push for desktop mode or a decent file system or compatibility with regular desktop apps via a translation layer for x64 (how apple launched M1), nothing.
They put no effort and just let it die. Such a shame.
Those are the “invincible” ones the person above me has in their mind.
This new missile is a cruise missile indeed, which can be intercepted with most anti aircraft solutions
Modern nuclear weapons carry multiple warheads per missile launched, each individually controlled. You can strike a dozen different cities in one launch.
They have 3 phases: Launch, coast, re-entry. You can intercept them successfully in the first two.
Once the warheads have been jettisoned from the missile it’s really hard to get them in the re-entry phase, they’re really small and come in at Mach 10 and there’s dozens of them.
The US has a system that can supposedly intercept a few but it’s not gonna be nearly enough to make any meaningful difference.
The only way to “win” a nuclear war is to first know exactly where absolutely every single one of your enemy’s nukes are and then striking all of the launch sites first without your massive preparation to do so being detected.
I’d put some batteries in the vest pockets and say By the power vested in me I now pronounce you son and daughter. You may not kiss anyone until you’re 18
You could cover your bunker with with bunker busters. If they’re so tough they can go through the bunker then they can stop themselves
So my Age of Empires build strategy was historically accurate
I showed this to my gf and said “hah look baby, IP on the bus”
She said “ew, that’s disgusting why would you do that?”
You can avoid Google pretty successfully. There are de-googled android or Linux phones out there (or Apple), other search engines, browsers that aren’t chrome based like Firefox, a million LLM companies to choose from, service providers depending on the area etc. and you can avoid most of the ads and trackers with a couple of browser extensions.
The one you basically can’t avoid no matter what you do is Amazon because basically everything runs on AWS.
Amazon’s cloud infrastructure is often overlooked but it’s responsible for handling most of the traffic on the internet that’s not from China and even there they have subsidiaries that conform with regulations.
After the first time I drove 3.5 hours to a dark sky spot for astrophotography (late at night with no civilization nearby to avoid light pollution) with no SD card I bought a 32gb card, wrapped it up with tape and have it in my wallet at all times.
Thankfully that was a 3 night camp out so I drove to the nearest town and saved the other two nights hahah
Well that protester looks like he’s casting fireball that poor ice agent had to respond lol
Lol this channel is about to take a turn
And unlike its predecessors, the battery gets punctured at the point of structural failure and combusts
Still waiting to see the inevitable hack of a communications constellation (starlink and the likes) resulting in worldwide outages and / or a worldwide firework show.
Open windows and shrink your boot partition by whatever you want Linux to take. Leave the space unallocated and delete any secondary partitions you may have already created in the first failed installation.
Then, start the Linux installation again and see if that works.
If you have a second drive that’s a much better choice because windows will regularly fuck up the Linux part of the bootloader and good luck fixing it.
Go log into windows, backup the second drive files somewhere else and format it, then install Linux there.
I just hop into my uefi menu on boot and select the windows disk to load whenever required instead of a dual boot bootloader because I know windows will not damage it
And there you have it. Welcome to actual 1940 Germany. Literally any dickwad will now be allowed to hunt “undesirables” for money, for sport.
