whataboutism

this is a post about tp-link.

considering tp-links response to firmware updates on supported hardware was “get fucked”, my only response to them is

Do no evil

a fool and his money will soon be parted.

you know where innovation comes from?

independent research.

you know what the oligopolies hate?

independent research.

pick one. you can’t have it both ways.

So the ICC won’t let me be

Or let me be me, so let me see

They tried to shut me down on MSNBC

But it feels so empty without me

the Nazis could never take power, it just won’t happen again.

most things will, I doubt this will though.

it’s surprising that most countries didn’t see this as a national security threat to begin with, but here we are.

I think before the end of the current trump administration we’ll see a ban on using Linux within the US out of spite.

them not realizing or caring that 90% of the internet runs on *nixos derived software will only make things more chaotic.

if it wasn’t maliciously designed it’s absurdly negligent. both of which are reason enough to not use AI at all.

wouldn’t it make more sense to streamline the existing processes first before creating a traffic jam of “potential” cures? where at least the models could be trained on existing cutting edge medical research instead of flying blind and developing novel treatments and cures.

the more I think about it the more is seems plausible that the actions AI implementation takes is malicious negligence. incompetence derived from a malicious intent to do harm on someone or something.

is this the disruption AI execs were talking about?

bullshit. you’re talking about two different technologies.

the PC didn’t promise to cure cancer. it promised to help you run your business more efficiently.

my favorite game growing up was, “Italian plumbers take too many mushrooms and go on a rampage through the kingdom to save the princess from the evil turtle”

although a close second was, “I am trapped in a dark maze with drugs and now there are ghosts chasing me?!?”

AI has been mainstream for what, 4 years now?

if AI had such powerful results for developing novel solutions to problems such as medicine or material science, why have we not seen major improvements in those sectors?

the way AI is spoken about is that it’s “world impacting” and “sector disrupting”. the only disruption and impacts I’m seeing are in human rights violations, price gouging, privacy negation, and corruption.

if these are the results after only 4 years, I can only logically assume it will only get worse with more time and support.

I feel bad for whoever buys that house. the market price should be negatively impacted by all this.

not just, but I’m sure his neighbors are pissed as well for tanking their property values as well.

*could

won’t

yeah, it’s not a problem because you can fix it.

it’s a skill issue.

their background is fucking horrible.

all that’s going to do is give them an excuse to block IPs outside the US by the block.

keep an eye on the FCC and any legislation they take against HAM or SDR. without that it would be difficult to have any comms outside the US.

if you can’t be alone with your own thoughts you need therapy. not an insult. if you can’t stand what kind of person you are to the point that your thoughts are toxic, talk to someone. seriously.

I take showers that are predominantly 95-100% hot water.

I have very oily skin and the hot water actually clears my pores and I have less breakouts this way.

so yeah…people do take showers where steam comes off. in fact, in the winter even after I dry off, my body steam will rise from my skin for a solid 5 minutes afterwards.

the real problem here is people taking their phones in the shower with them. gross. the thing covered in fecal matter, and all sorts of other germs/microbes? and then you let other people touch it? I bet your phone is likely dirtier than your toilet seat or your outdoor shoes, and you take it in the shower with you, to what, “shower” with it??

put it down. leave it on do not disturb. and enjoy a shower disconnected from the world.
