  I’m 40 years old from Eastern Europe. My parent’s generation grew up with pollution, no infrastructure, food rationing and very limited access to pretty much everything. They saw everything improve slowly as they got older and the lucky ones were able to retire fairly comfortably. I think my generation hit to sweet spot. We grew up without all the capitalist bullshit and don’t focus on mindless consumption that much but we got access to all of it when we started working so we were able to enjoy the nice things. Hopefully we will retire and die before everything turns to shit. The next generation is fucked.

  What will tracking MACs give them? They will now that such and such MAC address connected to such and such WiFi router. What will they do with it? What is the risk here?

  • Not all internet traffic is chats

  • If they have backdoor access to chats it doesn’t matter if you use their WiFi or not.

  I think this is mostly for non-EU tourists. You don’t pay for roaming in EU anymore so you don’t really need WiFi when traveling.

  EU is a union (it’s right in the name). It’s as strong or as weak as all of it’s members are combined. The people running it are selected by and follow orders of those members. Yes, some of the countries in EU are reasonable but EU as a whole is weak and/or naive.

  Couple more studies like this and you will be able to substitute all LLMs with generic “I would love to help you but my answer might be harmful so I will not tell you how to X. Would you like to ask me about something else?”

  There is a polish movie called “Debt”. It’s about a guy who unknowingly does some business with a gangster and ends up owning him some money. Throughout the movie he gives the gangster more and more money but the fictional debt only keeps growing.

  This is exactly what happened here. EU folded on the trade deal so now US wants more. It was clear to anyone with a little bit of sense that agreeing to 15% tariffs will not stabilize the situation. EU is run by idiots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Angry Man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  In Polish “alien” doesn’t have a plural. It’s just “obcy” for both alien and aliens. The movie was simply “Obcy 2”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their mansion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that if you only own one property it would make sense to pay the tax on gains at the end of the fiscal year. If you sell $3.5m house and same year buy a smaller $2m house you only pay 20% of the $1.5m you actually gained. It’s idiotic that simply moving somewhere can cost you 20% of your house value, even if you moved to house of equal value and haven’t made any money… If you own more then one property you pay 20% of the sale profit like now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some AI use is clearly worth the costs (like helping with scientific research or accessibility), some clearly isn’t (like generating spam), and much falls in a gray area where reasonable people can disagree. So do I think it’s ethical to use me? In many cases, yes - but I understand why thoughtful people might conclude otherwise, and I don’t think they’re wrong to avoid AI if they’ve weighed the considerations and found the costs too high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wi-Fi 8 won't be faster, but will be better - more details emerge just hours after Wi-Fi 7 protocols are officially ratified⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Speed is not the only variable here, stability is too, and over the years, if anything, WiFi has become more unstable if anything, going from „I get internet outside my house” to „don’t lean too much towards the wall in my bed, otherwise the 0,50 Mbit is gonna become even less”.

  Really? My phone easily connects to my WiFi everyone in my apartment, from couple floors below it and through the ceiling. I have the router in a wall box. For me with WiFi 6 it just got faster, I didn’t notice any stability issues.

  This sounds like bullshit.

  An uncertified device can no longer be legally marketed or used

  Ok, but I’m not marketing my LineageOS phone and I don’t believe Samsung can be responsible for me using it. It sounds like phones with custom ROM will simply lose CE certification (unless the custom ROM is itself certified). Samsung obtains the CE certification and sells certified phone. Making them responsible for anything that happens after that (besides regular updates) is something completely different than what this article talks about. It would basically mean that Samsung has to make sure that their devices cannot be hacked/rooted but ensuring security of hardware and software is something completely different covered by different laws. Even the RAD website clearly says this:

  “In 2021, the Commission decided to pause the initiative following the announcement of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), due to potential overlaps. In 2023, it was agreed that cybersecurity requirements would transfer from the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) to the CRA.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  INAL but I think this could be considered destroying money. Destroying money is illegal in US so if someone would decide that dyed bills are unfit for circulation it would be a crime. I don’t think there are clear laws saying that bills with dye on them are “unfit for circulation” but it sure could be argued that bills attracting attention of police are, in fact, unfit for normal use.

  I actually think this is the only way forward past phones. All the AI assistant tools, voice controlled speakers, foldable devices don’t really change how we use 99% of the software. VR/AR, when (if?) finally done right will change that.
