Well the real irony is that iPhones have implementations of MTE, and now Google Pixel does not. Walled garden or not, iPhone is the winner here at the moment.

I think it's the company's job to put the tools in place for parents to turn on and configure. In the same way you use a hammer to hit the nail to hang the painting, you need the tools in place for parental controls.

But it's also up to the parents to actually USE these tools. If the parents don't turn them on, then the parents are at fault. And if there were gaps in these controls that Meta was aware of, then Meta was at fault.

Though the problem here is that Meta probably knew what they were doing, and they were likely doing so because they profited from it. Meta requires continued engagement to make money from ad revenue, and you do that by addicting the people using it. It's always about the money.

I bought a Switch 2 and used it to play Donkey Kong and Mario Kart. They were fun, but now there's no more games for it really.

There's no new Switch 2 games even lined up right now as far as anyone's concerned. And they decided it's better to remake Star Fox again rather than make a new one, it felt like a big middle finger.

At this point in time, with how expensive the Ayn Thor has gotten and the downgrade from UFS 4.0 to 3.1 (WITH a simultaneous price increase), that console is dead to me personally, unless prices return to normal (which won't happen).

However, the future of portable gaming is absolutely in ARM based consoles. Given that the upcoming Steam Frame will come with ARM to x86 translation (FEX), I think that Valve is also aware of this, and that the Steam Frame is the tip of the iceberg and will act as a sort of testing ground for ARM.

I'm hoping that Valve creates a variant of the Steam Deck that runs on an ARM-based chip, in addition to a true Steam Deck successor console running on a normal AMD processor and GPU. I think that Android also adds unnecessary overhead when gaming (latency and CPU cycles), and SteamOS is a great answer to that problem.

While I think Ayn is currently out of reach price wise, more competitors will begin to pop up making similar things (e.g. Retroid Pocket Flip 2).

Disgusting. This is my representative, I unfortunately voted him in.

Our president is a pedophile and we still get the "for the children" bullshit. How about making a law requiring tracking the data on the Epstein class phones instead?

I sent a letter to him, hopefully enough people do.

I never trusted ProtonMail. Right when you sign up, you're constantly bombarded with advertisements to upgrade to pro. They're plastered everywhere with obnoxious banners.

I get that they're a business and they need money to operate, but the ads are so obnoxiously "in your face" that in my mind their priority isn't your privacy, it's your money.

Tutamail is the better service.

I think you mean, X should be nationalized like our social security numbers have been. It's only fair, the piece of shit who runs it is the only reason that even happened, why not keep things fair?

I bought a lifetime subscription years ago, and even if the payment method got decrypted, it's well expired. Not to mention I haven't had a Plex server running for ages.

MediaTek or Qualcomm chips will be used probably, but to order cutting edge chips they'd need to order pretty high volumes to keep prices down, so the chip they order will probably be older. Though the Pixel 5 was one of my favorite phones, so if they can keep that level of speed on Android 16 then I'm all for it.

Part of what pisses me off is that Tesla doesn't use LiDAR, it uses cameras. So in sub optional conditions, like the ones where it kills people, LiDAR would resolve those outlier cases.

But he'll never do that because he likes how his own farts smell.

You are exactly correct

That's hilarious though ngl

But this man never needs to worry about anything anymore. I'd probably "work every day" knowing that I have the pleasure of stopping whenever I want, and having everything you could ever want right at your fingertips at any given moment.
