  Weren’t there 1000 FBI agents working on those files? Shouldn’t at least one of them know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There exist some horror stories about the code but I have no idea how to find them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is written as if a taskbar were a complex piece of software.

  Google for stories about how it is configured or built. The old taskbar was endlessly complex.

  Have you thought about restarting it here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Of course there is.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reverse it:

  What limits their migration further north in western Eurasia?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe's Ariane 6 rocket puts EU navigation satellites in orbit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Now how many satellites have been launched to track Russian troops in Ukraine? That should be the biggest gap to fill should the US abandon Ukraine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I could literally live on plain potatoes for the rest of my life and I’d be fine with it.

  You wouldn’t and life would be short. There are not all nutritions in potatoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As the wealth divide continues to grow, the richest will continue to care less and less about the rest of us.

  Of all the things to pick from socialism, expecting the rich to care should be the last one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the feedback. I think there are no other options.

  1. The US want to remain the hegemon but China will take the technological lead and thus the military lead soon. Some say already 2027. The US more or less openly plan a naval blockade. But how can they maintain it if they have to ship everything half way accross the world? So they have to beat China.

  2. Also because of the shipping distance, China will always have more conventional weapons. The only remaining advantage is nuclear. Even robots seem to be taken over by China.

  3. What else can be so abhorent that we need to push the surveillance infrastructure that hard? Freedom is the selling point of the West. Why should countries choose the West over China if we have the same restrictions? We would lose in the long run, unless we use the restrictions to beat China.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The war with China is coming and both the US and the UK want to minimize the impact of protests. It will be inevitably nuclear because China cannot be beaten conventionally. So people will feel a bit compelled to protest which could put to test the usual means of population control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about surveillance. The nudity is a made-up reason.

  That being said, my very important stuff is backed up to more than one cloud provider, just in case.

  The way things develop, you can’t be sure that you are not banned on all accounts at the same time for political reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Denmark takes a Viking swing at VPN-enabled piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

  Why do all bad internet initiatives come out of Denmark?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It will trickle down any second now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask for several thousand dollars and go to a third world country where people only earn hundreds per year. Turn those thousands into millions. Easy.

  Most Westerners can play Musk’s game in a third world country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US demands access to tourists' social media histories⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some comment mentioned that this is for visa free visits whereas visa visits already had that requirement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US demands access to tourists' social media histories⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought that had been required before. What changed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waiting for Capitalism to collapse, so we can get this over with so we can reverse climate change and have nice memes, technology and the good end⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should Capitalism collapse? The rich already own almost everything. Some will go broke but the system can continue forever. If nature collapses and food becomes scarce, it will just become more expensive.

  I am no expert. What wears the drive down? Depending on the workloads the drives could be ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should exist a single-word marker on questions signifying that the person asking the question doesn't know the answer.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Once you leave school it will be the default and doesn’t need a marker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Think about all the HDDs that they will sell for cheap in 5 years.

  Third option is that somewhere on the way, people elect different politicians.

  You are on to something. But call it entropy, not chance.

  This has the potential to escalate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The downside is not having enough supply right now, but once the logistics and tech is in place, even non-AI people will benefit.

  Have you forgotten that they agreed to reduce production to stabilize prices? Capacity is not the real bottleneck.
