Echo Dot

Does the US really make their own routers pretty much all electronics come from the China.

I suspect what’s going to happen is that the components will come from China and then some white label manufacturer will just put them together in the US, therefore they were “made” in the US so are okay. But it’ll be literally the same chips and circuit board and firmware as before.

It’s not humans that are the problem, it’s specific individuals that are the problem. Basically it’s like 12 people.

I really want to see how it handles non-human characters. The fact that we didn’t see any makes me think that it doesn’t do well.

Airports are required by law to screen their passengers.

Yeah with things like metal detectors. There’s no law requiring a bunch of ineffective humans.

I heard Obama flew one of the planes.

It’s revival is an nⁿ problem

Do they even vaccinate against polio anymore I’m pretty sure I’ve never had a polio vaccine and I am pretty sure it’s extinct isn’t it?

Online banking does this all of the time. It’s surprising how little you can actually do on their app, virtually every common banking task requires you to call them.

I had to call them to set up an automatic payment on my credit card from my savings account. Because I couldn’t work out how to do it on the app. I confirmed with the support agent that you can’t do it on the app.

For me the solution is simply to just not own a printer. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to print something in the last year. Anyway that’s what parents are for, their house is where you store things you only occasionally want.

The US military has long been obsessed with World War II era tactics. Which essentially amounts to “We’ve got more troops than you, and we’ve given them bigger guns”.

But this strategy hasn’t been relevant since the end of the Cold War. Why would I care how many soldiers you have stationed at an important facility when I can just blow said important facility up with my big bomb? Their presence is irrelevant. Now that drone combat is so prevalent the number of troops you have is even less relevant.

Iran has essentially managed to defeat the United States without any of their troops moving beyond their border.

Honestly it would be interesting just to see what he thinks constitutes good tactics. I’m guessing he would just attempt a running charge, as unsuttle and highly unlikely to succeed, does seem to be his modus operandi.

Or they could just leave the area. That would also work.

No one thinks this is fair. Little old grannys don’t side load apps, so they don’t need protection.

Never seen it and I’ve worked in banking which I would have thought it would be most prevalent. Seen lots of traditional scams, but never stuff that involves side loading apps. I think the attack surface is just not big enough to make it worthwhile.

The world was really low death back then.

I don’t understand this attitude that people seem to have which is that climate change will just be this thing that we ignore and will bring about new opportunities. Man it’s going to kill us all. No one’s gonna be opening new shipping lanes because all of the cities you would previously have exported to will now be underwater.

I thought they did have internal door handles but they’re hidden away. The problem is often they’re difficult to get to even when the car is completely intact.

That’s just nonsense justification they came up with after the fact. Ferraris have door handles, so clearly they’re not much of an issue.

Anyway the car isn’t going to exceed 80 miles an hour anyways so aerodynamics barely comes into it.

Let’s face face it. The most likely apocalypse is an economic crash brought on by the kind of crop of idiots. Not sure how a car is going to help with that.
