- Comment on MIT Students Stole $25 Million In Seconds By Exploiting ETH Blockchain Bug, DOJ Says 1 day ago:
This is a prime example of why the “code is law” selling point for smart contracts is a disaster waiting to happen. Proponents claim you won’t need lawyers, arbitrators, courts, etc, but in reality you’ll need all those and on top of that programmers to write and verify smart contracts.
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 5 days ago:
If the vehicles are so low quality and dangerous, then it wouldn’t be the job of tariffs but of bans, since there are minimum safety standards that still apply.
- Comment on Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs 5 days ago:
BYD doesn’t sell their cars abroad for $10-$15k.
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 6 days ago:
Meanwhile the US doesn’t subsidize (or even bail out) its too-big-to-fail auto companies, right? If you consider affordable products a deliberate economic attack, what do you call the extreme price gouging that the American auto companies are carrying out?
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 6 days ago:
If these Chinese vehicles suck so much, why are US car companies so afraid of them?
- Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas 1 week ago:
It made sense to me when I could take advantage of a tax credit for EVs in 2017. Now that car companies/dealerships simply jack up prices to eat that discount, it doesn’t make sense even in that case.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 1 week ago:
From the article:
All that would be left behind was a tiny red dot where the dart entered the body, undetectable to those who didn’t know to look for it.
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 1 week ago:
Yeah, the post is about a new RISC-V laptop and someone came in with "butwhatabout china!!’

- Comment on Bean jean 1 week ago:
“Monster” seems a little hyperbolic, no?
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 1 week ago:
Meanwhile the US has successfully made people forget about the revelations that Edward Snowden made.
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 1 week ago:
Intel Management Engine. Do you have an example of Chinese tech spying on consumers for the Chinese government?
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 1 week ago:
I wonder if it’s possible to get a post about technology coming out of China without a “hurr durr they r spy!!1” comment. I don’t see the same every time there’s an article on a new Intel processor, for example.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 2 weeks ago:
Apps are designed to be easy to use. If this device works as advertised (and that’s a huge if), then it wouldn’t offer much in the way of convenience anyway. From what I’ve been reading, it doesn’t work well at all.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 2 weeks ago:
It certainly looks sleek. Too bad that’s all it has in its favor.
- Comment on Comedy has peaked ladies and gentlemen 2 weeks ago:
Took me a bit to figure out what BI BLE is. I initially thought it had to do with bisexuality.
- Comment on Rabbit R1 AI box revealed to just be an Android app 2 weeks ago:
The AI boom in a nutshell. Repackaged software and content with a shiny AI coat of paint. Even the AI itself is often just repackaged chatgpt.
- Comment on It's called "social jet lag". Yes I know about sleep hygiene. 2 weeks ago:
This tracks with my experience when I decide to take a long vacation where I don’t do anything. I naturally stay up later and later until it loops around.
- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 2 weeks ago:
Success or failure depends on the goal. Perhaps outside observers can see something as a failure or success, but that doesn’t matter since you set the goals. As for which Lemmy community to post this to, I dunno.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 2 weeks ago:
Billionaires might as well be considered foreign agents. They’re parasites who are doing a lot more damage to the country than any actual foreign agent has ever managed.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 3 weeks ago:
You mean like how rideshare apps told their users to vote in specific ways on specific ballot proposals? No talk about banning those apps.
- Comment on Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal? 3 weeks ago:
I thought there was a site that let at most x number of people play games where x is the number of physical copies the site creator had on hand for that game. The industry doesn’t like this either, but the industry can go fuck itself. They’ve already practically taken away the public domain by making the period for copyright expiration too damn long.
- Comment on It's time to let go 3 weeks ago:
That half a lemon doesn’t survive for more than a couple days before I just eat it straight up (if I don’t have anything else to use it for).
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 3 weeks ago:
It’s about privacy in the same way “protect the children” bills are about protecting the children.
Narrator: it’s not.
- Comment on US government reportedly ponders crimping China's use of RISC-V 3 weeks ago:
What’s wrong, America, can’t take the competition?
- Comment on Always CYA 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 3 weeks ago:
Being the guy who signed the bill that threatens the existence of a platform that is super popular with young people whose vote he desperately needs during an election year. Masterful gambit, sir!
- Comment on Windows 10 will start pushing users to use Microsoft accounts. How to turn it off. 4 weeks ago:
It’s been mentioned multiple times already, but yeah, with each new action microsoft takes, it pushes me toward linux. I’m not currently on linux because I’m lazy, but my next build will be linux since I’ll need to install an OS anyway then.
- Comment on YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream 4 weeks ago:
It took me a long time to cancel but I finally did because I’d been skipping for every month over the course of maybe two years. I had found out that the classic plan doesn’t even have an advantage anymore, so there was no point in me maintaining that.
- Comment on Americans Sleeping Less, More Stressed 4 weeks ago:
This is something that working from home helped me out with a lot. More time sleeping instead of commuting. Even during lockdown times, the adequate amount of sleep I was getting kept me in higher spirits.
