Use the client to sync all your files to disk instead of the website.

Well yeah, that is true. Security and convenience are usually at odds… MFA has place, unless you don’t mind some guy from russia access your online bank account ; but I definitely wouldn’t use it on all my accounts.

That’s between platforms though. I like my stuff self-managed. Unless it provenly works with full offline solutions I’ll remain sceptical.

If the passkeys aren’t managed by your devices fully offline then you’re just deeper into being hostage to a corporation.

Soon smartglasses will look like regular glasses though. Miniaturisation isn’t about to stop.

Battlefield does most of this, except medics csn defend themselves because people already rarely play support. As seen by the endless rage and whining, the ad-hoc emergent teamplay doesn’t work as often as it does.

Ehhh I’m not sure how I got skimmed. Better safe than sorry now, a deleted card is pretty foolproof

I can create a virtual card before every trip, use it via my phone and then cancel it after the trip, never worrying if my card got skimmed anywhere for one.

Honey wake up, it’s the weekly miracle battery tech!

That’s only true if you run falcon-sensor in ebpf and not kmod mode.

Somewhat ironically, autopilot for airplanes is more less attitude/speed holding for most history. More modern systems can now autoland or follow a preprogrammed route (the flight plan plugged into the FMS), but even then changes like TCAS advisories are usually left up to the pilots to handle. Autopilots are also expected to give control to the pilots in any kind of unexpected situation.

So in a way tesla’s naming here isn’t so off, it’s just the generic understanding of the term “autopilot” that is off somewhat. That said, their system is also not doing much more than most other level 2 ADAS systems offer.

On the other hand, Elon loves going off about Full Self Driving mode a lot, and that’s absolutely bullshit.

Sure, PFAS were also considered a nonsignificant issue until they weren’t, only it’s too late to unfuck it now. Well, no harm in generating more potential ticking time bombs I guess.

Ah yes, the usual method of waiting until the issue becomes confirmed and also way too severe to fix instead of acting on precaution and harming profits of private companies. What could go wrong?

Going publicly traded fucks every company up with nextquarter-itis.

Currency is a natural evolution of commerce. Direct barter only works if the person selling what you need wants something you have.

Say you want to buy flowers. If the florist wants shoes and you only have bread or hammers to spare, then tough luck.

Any large society cannot function with such a clunky way to exchange goods/services. Currency is merely a proxy that allows both sides to trade their goods using a tool they both value similarly. Hell, some civilisations used giant boulders as currency… it’s hardly a new concept.

Not even that sometimes. I’m told I can do some pretty mean kicks while I sleep.
