I fundamentally take issue with the idea that I need to be saved from my phone.
The primary reasons I use my phone are for communication and taking pictures. Well it was terrible at both of those things.

The big problem with the humane pin was that it was trying to do processing on the teeny tiny device and that used all it’s battery up in 15 mins generated 300 MW of heat.
Why not just use the phone in your pocket that’s actually designed for this kind of data processing?
Were the workers in the drone factory combatants, because by your definition technically they were.
The problem with the Doomsday clock idea is it’s very unspecific. The closer to midnight the closer we are to the end of the world but what does that mean? Who decides if we are 30 seconds or 35 seconds before midnight, what’s one second worth of Doom represent? For that matter what does 1 second after midnight look like (as far from Doom as possible), What’s that is that, a utopia, and how is that different to 3:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.
Yeah, there was a BBC documentary with him in it, and they actually demonstrate this. Various scammers are arrested and even sentenced, and then for some totally innocent reason a mistrial gets called, and it all has to go to trial again, and surprise surprise in the intervening time the police have managed to lose all of the evidence.
The only good thing about that whole case was that when they were arrested the scammers faces were broadcast all over national television in both India and the UK. Not that been shown in the UK will do everything, but I’m sure they don’t have a great time in India because the locals hate them. Oh and also when the police are showing off their scammers, for some reason they make them hold hands with the police. It’s really funny how unhappy they look about it.
If I traveled 100 years into the future I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still using USB-C. A different version of USBC but it’ll still be the same cable, the only reason they would upgrade to another cable is if they decided for some reason that it needed to be able to carry enough current to vaporize you.
Your comprehension of this technology is so limited that you actually think that’s how it works.
The letter simply indicates that the physical wiring in the cable is different to a previous iteration of the USB standard. There isn’t a great deal of reason that they would change that now it has a pretty good potential for energy transfer and high data transfer speeds. In 15 years they might be looking at changing it but not any time soon.
Usb and B came out at the same time in the '90s for god’s sake.
They already are illegal. The problem is the police are corrupt and they’re bought off, and the central government doesn’t really care that much, so they don’t do anything about it.
If you actually report these people sometimes they do get arrested, it just depends on who the chief of police in that area is. There’s a reason they’re all in the same part of India and it’s because the police in that area have been bought off.
Well fortunately we have you. Who contribute a great deal I’m sure
Yeah I used to be guilty of this. Although in slight defense of myself I never used to use random sites like that I always used to pull everything from Google CDN since I can’t see that changing hands.
They may very well shut it down without warning, but they’re probably not going to sell it to anyone.
Pretty well paid then
It never leads anywhere though. North Korea has always been fobbed off with decades-old technology,it’s not like they will know.
So everyone continues to ignore them because they continue not to be a threat. It’s not in Russia’s interest to give them anything really advanced, assuming they have anything left to give them. The best thing Russia could give them would be infrastructure engineers but they’re probably not interested in their own populace enough to consider that a worthy exchange.
Pretty asymmetric that isn’t it. On one side you have a nation that is rapidly running out of, well basically everything, and on the other side you’ve got an alliance of nation states which contain among many other things the largest most powerful military on the planet.
Finally the nation that is running out of resources is now getting military support from quite possibly the worst place they could get it from.
It’s going to be one of those ridiculous situations that only happens in Civilization, where you’re bombing cavemen with nukes because your adversary has failed to advance through the tech tree fast enough.
I will never understand why the American military think it’s a good idea to send them tanks that are so complicated. Especially when they’re going up against cold war era relics.
The best tactic Ukraine could have at this point would just be to encourage the North Koreans to defect. Can’t imagine it’ll be particularly difficult, “hey switch sides and we won’t kill you, and here’s a free house with electricity, water and indoor plumbing”.
It would be like trying to convince people to leave the 15th century.
I’m sure that will be really helpful, I bet they’re really well trained and have lots of modern equipment that isn’t just painted wood.
I can’t tell if you’re a stooge or if you really think that. I hope you are stooge, because otherwise that’s a really stupid position you’ve decided to take and you clearly don’t actually understand the issue.
Obvious troll is obvious. Grow up
Military experts say Ukraine’s ability to use Western-supplied weapons in Russia is aiding its fightback.
Wow, thank God for that expert analysis.
But there’s an important difference here. Sometimes you want the IP address to look like it’s coming from a different location because of region locking. Eg Netflix.
Other times you want the origin IP hiding along the data stream to stop snoopers. eg the government.
So changing your IP from the perspective of the receiver isn’t much use if you’re trying to hide from the government. People who are not very tech savvy may not necessarily realize this important distinction until it’s too late. So it’s best to explain the difference.
