I didn’t want to type out paragraphs worth talking to a brick wall.

It’s not the internet job to safeguard your kids. That’s the bottom line. All of this regulation and moderation is just stepping stones further to a controlled and moderated internet. Y’all just want to slowly add more and more limitations and training wheels to life and you’re giving up our own freedoms and rights to do it.

Tell me, who decides where the line is drown between allowable and not allowed? How are millions of hours of content supposed to be moderated by decency police to make that decision? How well do you think something automated can be that would do it?

The fine isn’t the point. Yeah, ten million is nothing to a large company. But what it really does is create censorship “for the children”.

By your logic, just blame the parents. They have the ultimate responsibility.

Right. And how are you supposed to train an algorithm to filter out any stupid thing a kid might try that’s dangerous? The possibilities are endless. Maybe the parents shouldn’t let their 13 year olds have unrestricted phones and access to tik tok.

I can’t hold them responsible for every dumb thing kids spread and try doing on their platform. You can’t expect everything to get regulated and removed in an instant. Watch your damned kids and don’t let them have tik tok to begin with. Then accept that a person dying isn’t always someone else’s fault. Your kid dying because he seen a thing on the internet to take a bunch of benadryl, then goes and steals your benadryl and overdoses on it, isn’t the internets fault.

I hate tik tok, but this is so dumb. Right down to the bullshit of requiring an office in Venezuela in a mere 8 days. Like 8 days is a realistic amount of time to set up and run an office in a foreign country.

Kids have been doing idiotic shit to themselves since the dawn of time. Tik tok or youtube didn’t cause this. Even back in the days before internet existed there was a “challenge” in my grade school where you touched your toes twenty times real fast and than had the big guy in class squeeze you in a bear hug from behind to make you pass out. Pretty sure that on killed some kids too.

A caveat. In your scenario, there is apparently only one widget maker in each country and they have a monopoly?

If widgets could be made in the US for $7 and sustainably priced at $9 to be a viable business, then they wouldn’t be selling them for $16.99, because ten other US businesses would start up selling widgets for less.

Tariffs don’t work for everything, but how many jobs in the US are in making something? What would you have of them? Because in the US you need like $25 an hour to make a living and we have health and safety implementations and labor laws. China pays their employees $2 an hour. They can undercut anything we could make in the US.

Thanks. Just picked it up on f-droid. Last update was 14 months ago, so I guess it’s been balanced to perfection.

Guess my eyes are gray, then.

That’s my eye color description. Like a gray-blue.

Reminds me of that firefighter named Les Mcburney.

Yeah. I have t mobile, so the xperia 1 V, and the newly released but not officially sold in the US xperia 1 VI would work, but rare phones tend to lack support, amd I can’t bring myself to shell out $1400 for a phone like that.

I wish I could still get a higher end phone with an SD card slot. I’m holding onto my s20 ultra (I like the pen) until I’m forced out for security update reasons.

To go further, all those 3v button batteries are essentially the same. You can buy any one of similar thickness to replace one like that, that you will have to re-solder in place. It’s definitely a 20mm across one, so the first numbers will be 20. For thickness I’m guessing by the looks of it, it’s either 3.5mm thick or 4.0mm thick, so last two numbers will be 35 or 40. So you want either a 2035 or a 2040 as a replacement.

They’re all 3v. The only difference in button style batteries thickness is how much capacity they hold. If it physically fits in a device and you can create the connection for the top and bottom, it will work. I’ve used a little piece of metal or wire to bridge a gap to make a thinner battery replace what was supposed to be a thicker one if I didn’t have the right size on hand. Just means it will die a bit sooner.

A lot of people are familiar with it and…um…hackers like it being in use?

I think you mean heinz 57 the steak sauce…

The black e ink version is 300ppi. The color ones are 150ppi, so half.

It’s not too uncommon for PC equipment. Back when Newegg was a good company, before they were bought out over a decade ago, there would be quite a few items on there that were like this.

Hey now. That all depends on how popular Steam Deck handhelds keep getting and if future versions of windows keep getting worse and more ad intrusive like windows 11 has done. Gaming on Linux has gotten much easier and at some point the chunk of people on Linux will be high enough (it’s gone from 1.6% in 2019 to 4% now) that devs will decide its worth it to make Linux compatible games. I have a desktop at home that still works as a pretty good gaming rig at home, but win 11 isn’t supported by my processor. Once win 10 stops getting support it will be running Linux only. A lot of preventing a full switch over now is the anti cheat software some major studios use on their online games that won’t run on Linux.

/useless rant.

I guess I’m missing who owns/developed Cuda, then. Like, why does Nvidia think they can disallow anyone else from using Cuda if Cuda was made and broadly used as the API before Nvidia.

So nvidia designed something and they don’t want other companies to use it?
