I don’t believe they are networked. No article mentions this. I have those in France and see employees “update” the tags with a handheld device, which suggests that there is no network at all. Maybe an underpowered bluetooth or NFC, but definitely not a network.

Nice shitpost bro, that website is hilarious.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 3 days ago:
I think you actually can make a reasonable scientific case for the existence of the supernatural
Can you explain how you would use the scientific method on the supernatural?

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 5 days ago:
He actually believes that ghosts exist while proclaiming to be an atheist who thinks the scientific method is flawed. He’s pretty retarded and we’re pointing it out.

I forgot that part. Bamboula was the equivalent of the n-word in the 80s. Those biscuits were sold in supermarkets, and they made TV ads and other stuff. Fun times…

If it’s not a cooldown period as that other guy said, you may contact the
scammernew owner, he will ask for a billion dollars and it’s up to you whether that domain was important enough. Consider finding a new one right now if you can. - Comment on Human Zoo 5 days ago:

Try to buy it to see who is holding it to scam people.

I hate AI as it is, but those robots can have precision up to a few nanometers, which humans will never be able to do. Those machines are not replacing anything here.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
IMHO you’re right. Most people don’t know that “one arm robot” do exists and can be programmed to do a lot of stuff with great precision (some up to almost a micrometer/nanometer). They already have eyes (precise cameras on the side of the robot) and don’t need legs or torsos because they don’t need to move.

Or one organic dildo trying to fight a mega-dragon-dildo 10 times its size.
- Comment on Mike Hardaker accuses Reddit of holding organic posting ‘hostage’ unless he buys ads, shares email screenshot 1 week ago:
It’s a clone of Digg which was a clone of forums, and it’s full of ads and bots. It’s the trashcan of the internet. I don’t know why people still lurk there.

- Comment on Microsoft claims "2026 is the moment" for AI PCs, but its essay-length beginner explanation only creates more confusion — Is it any wonder adoption is slow? 1 week ago:
Same answer as that other guy. I tried Pop OS for a few months, and while the automatic tiling is tempting, it’s really buggy even with the new version. Linux Mint is the easiest IMHO and looks a bit like Windows 2000. I love it so far.

IRC, that’s all. Pseudonymous forums like 4chan or reddit are not social IMHO.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I won’t comment on that usage of AI because I could complain about it for hours. You’re courageous to learn programming while being surrounded by people who show their great vibe-coded achievements (while not learning anything at all). Don’t give up, it’s very fun even after 20 years of writing any kind of application.
C and Java are a bit difficult as first languages because you have to learn a lot of concepts at the same time. Anyway, if you have any question, don’t hesitate to spam !learn_programming@programming.dev and I’m sure people will be happy to help.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
by excluding the relevant terms
Terms like US, politics, Trump, Clinton, Army, Militia, Vance, Bondi, Kinder eggs, Oklahoma, etc. It seems painful. As I said, tags are a PITA and create spam.
you even like that, because you can’t be bothered with reality
Go back to reddit please.
