- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 3 days ago:
Apple should have to address this but backups are ALWAYS the solution.
If he only saved on his hard drive and lost access we’d say it.
If he only saved on an external drive and lost access we’d say it.
If he only saved on a thumb drive and lost access we’d say it.
But for some reason he only saved on Apple’s servers and all of a sudden we aren’t supposed to say it?
No. Always make backups of important data. Always.
Hopefully Apple gives him access back but let this be another reminder to everyone to never allow for one point of failure for your irreplacable data even if it’s a big corporation.

- Comment on If Jesus was around in today's world 4 days ago:
This is ableist prejudice.
Most disabled people would gladly give up their painful, crippling, or life-threatening illness in exchange for whatever pitiful allowance the government gives them to scrape by on.

So did I. The people at the top will not get fucked. They’ll steal everything they can. Everyone else will get fucked.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 2 weeks ago:
It will burst but they won’t get fucked. They’ll either get bailed out or reorganize their debt into another corporation and ride off with all the riches.
- Comment on Porsche Cars in Russia Shut Down After Satellite System Failure 2 weeks ago:
Remember when they started this with games? It would phone home every time you started it up and make sure your license was valid.
And then companies stopped supporting the game or went out of business. And all of a sudden no one could play those games anymore.
Now they’re doing it with cars. How long until that expensive car you bought is no longer supported and you have to upgrade to the new model?

- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 4 weeks ago:
No this one makes sense though. AI is great at being critically misinformed and making terrible decisions. Of all the things they claim AI can do, I think this one is the closest.

The very least that Trump and his cultists should teach us is that what is normal and accepted right now can change VERY quickly when a fascist takes over.
Being trans, abortions, same sex marriage, immigrants, anti-regime memes.
It’s bad enough having them check your phones at the border crossing. How about your own computer ratting you out?

you took the time to create a whole post about this and answer every other stranger’s comment.

- Comment on How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device 1 month ago:
That’s my problem with it. I don’t want to support Google, so I avoid their OS. However the alternative requires that I support them and buy their phone.
I’m looking forward to seeing which other manufacturer they’re aiming for.
