- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 1 week ago:
There are absolutely laptops with fingerprint sensors.
I’d say the main reason it’s more common in phones than computers is because of the different markets. Phones are mostly consumer purchases, the business market is smaller and the software is more locked down so you can rely on a software disable better sufficing for those cases. Laptops are increasingly dominated by business use cases. Businesses have IT groups that care about security who would prefer models without biometrics.
Secondarily, you login to your phone a lot more often than laptops so the convenience factor is less impactful for laptops. So people don’t consider the fingerprint sensor a mandatory requirement as much as with phones.

No.
The page you link has the foundation’s leadership structure. He’s a cochair on the board with 8 total people. The board is a degree removed from day to day operations of the foundation. He’d have to convince the board to then convince the executives.
That transaction would then show up in their financial statements, which are audited and publicly posted on that website. Meaning using the foundation’s money for something like a private jet would become public knowledge within a couple years and would do irreparable harm to the foundation’s reputation.

- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 2 months ago:
And by most estimates it has more active users than ever.
It’s no longer “hip” but being hip and being popular are opposing goals.

For the overlap of “circles” and “things that overlap” I would have gone with the Olympic rings rather than eclipses.

That might be the most obscure stereotype I’ve ever encountered.

You don’t get the visceral experience of snapping the phone in half that way.
- Comment on ‘FBI pwned me’: Lockbit cybercrime gang faces global takedown with indictments and arrests — 200 crypto wallets frozen, 11000 domains seized, 14000 rouge accounts closed 2 months ago:
Article says “cryptocurrency accounts” not wallets which makes more sense

- Comment on On social media we have these huge conversations where nobody involved has any actual experience. They're just repeating what other people said. Isn't that literally insane? 2 months ago:
The ability to learn from other people without needing the same first hand experience is a hallmark of intelligence. It’s one of the things about our species that allowed us to develop past just being yet another animal in the wild. Education is largely based on that principle; your history teacher didn’t experience the horrors of trench warfare firsthand.
So I wouldn’t call social media insanity so much as potentially addictive, which can cause you to overindulge in those behaviours. Admittedly addiction can feel like insanity when you’re in the throes of it.

Probably a pinprick on your finger like in a diabetes test
- Comment on What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance? 2 months ago:
Supposedly it comes from apples being an abundant source of food/water during periods when teachers weren’t paid in money. Also it can be made into alcohol easily. Potatoes were also popular for the same reasons but that didn’t stick as well.
So modern equivalent is probably chocolates with booze in them.

Important bit missing. Summary and headline had me imagining something much more dystopia.
- Comment on What is easiest solution to automatically resolve missing mounts due to e.g. a power outage? 2 months ago:

Node packaging is fucked. Node packaging remains fucked. And we have fucked it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the makers of all unmaintainable spaghetti? What was webscale and most utilitarian of all that the computers have yet executed has ground to a halt under our keyboards: who will wipe this blood off us?
