Unfortunately, cutting drugs with things to make them either cheaper or stronger is pretty common most places, in fact it’s basically universal here. Some weed dealers have relatively uncontaminated stock, but most don’t.

And good fucking luck if you buy any kind of pills or anything.

Not proper cooking to a well temp, but you never really know if proper food safety practices were observed or not.

That would mean you need to enforce the law for whoever built the model. If the original creator has 100TB of cheese pizza, then they should be the one who gets arrested.

Otherwise you’re busting random customers at a pizza shop for possession of the meth the cook smoked before his shift.

That’s for 1 year’s tuition. I looked up the average for 4 years plus books, supplies, fees, etc.

Average cost of college is under $150k/person. Warrant Buffet is worth $133,500,000,000 (rounded heavily). Warranty buffet could pay for approximately 890,000 people to go to college.

However given the fact that is most of a million people, and how much of a racket education in the US, I think the actual figure is much higher, because he could do several things to drastically reduce the overhead involved.

It likely isn’t any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.

Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I’d kill for decent hot hatch that wasn’t $40k.

There isn’t much of an alternative. All major manufacturers have been doing this for a while, we are approaching the point where you’ll need to buy and maintain a classic car to avoid this type of data collection. Unfortunately, most people simply do not have the time, money, and expertise to do that. Nor should they have to.

Mazda is just as involved in this bullshit. All car manufacturers are.

Mozilla tried to rate them a few years ago and basically has to give them all the same grade because basically every can manufacturer’s privacy policy is so cartoonishly horrible.

I use a lenovo flip. I love the reversible hinge, but the flip functionality is quite buggy and the build quality is kind of crap.

I’ve been eyeing a framework 13 for years now, but I don’t want to be wasteful by buying a laptop I do not need yet. They look really well supported and easy to work on.

System76 has been a classic for a long time, but I’ve never had the money for one go their units.

Iirc Mozilla tried, but they all were so terrible everybody got an F according to their (IMO pretty fair) standards.

They’re not actually worried about sharing power, they don’t want to be subject to additional federal regulation.

In this case, the issue is business interest in politics, not our weird toxic individualism.

We lowkey need a database of how to airgap cars. Spying hardware started being common long enough ago that people aren’t really going to be able to avoid it when buying used, unless they have the time and money to maintain a classic car.

It isn’t just your driving either. They also very commonly log location and audio inside the car as well.

We were supposed to build one here, but AT&T basically owns our city government lol.

They announced the project wouldn’t be moving forward because they wouldn’t/couldn’t use imminent domain to lay fiber in peoples yards. They’ve used it to build 3 stadiums in the past 20 years, and knock down entire neighborhoods in the process. Literally bulldozed multiple square miles of city.

I fucking hate it here. We gave the stadium owners a bunch of money this week to renovate their stadium for some reason.

You already buy “up to” a certain speed. When the network is congested, you just deal with it.

Trying to make people budget their internet usage is stupid and pointless.

No reason they should exist in any day and age.

Companies do not pay per packet. Paying more for more bandwidth or lower latency kind of makes sense because theoretically they may be prioritizing your traffic when the network is under too much load. But sending 16 petabytes costs exactly the same as 1kb in a month, assuming your connection is fast enough to handle 16 petabytes in a month.

Probably? There’s a decent amount of people on reddit calling for the dissolution and expulsion of Israel. US based companies rarely censor on the whims of the feds.

It is a closes source program owned by an analytics company. I don’t know if there’s a good way to conclusively tell, but why else would they have bought it?

I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I switched to Arch when proton came out, and I haven’t had a system breakage since that wasn’t directly caused by my actions.

Debian upgrades would basically fail to boot about 20% of the time before that.

No, it isn’t universal. Teachers here quit trying basically as soon as smartphones became common.

For me it is equal parts paying attention in class, developing attention spans away from video crack tiktok/shorts/whatever, and generally encouraging them to do other things.

Trying to legislate this is…fucking stupid.

You don’t want your kids to have a smartphone? Fine. Don’t buy one. Kids dont need phones, bur if you’re worried about them being able to contact you, just get a dumbphone on amazon.
