- Comment on China bans its biggest tech companies from acquiring Nvidia chips, says report — Beijing claims its homegrown AI processors now match H20 and RTX Pro 6000D 17 hours ago:
It is ~14% of NASDAQ s weight. 9%of S&P500 #1 on each.
It is responsible for ~40% of the growth in value in NASDAQ IN the past couple years.
That’s a hard fall if it does.

Much better example.
There’s just so many corps that are somehow still around that keep profiting from genocide.

- Comment on I hacked Microsoft Edge to make my ideal Chromium web browser 1 week ago:
Some say brave, but all that crypto crap and a few scandals has me saying no.
Vivaldi, which started by the original Opera Deva after the browser was bought by a Chinese corp is pretty OK. Lots of the google stuff removed. Very customizable. Still works with ublock.
Other than that, on android there’s chromite - no google blobs. Chromium on Linux - but it still has the google blobs.
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
Google is making users/consumers not want to use/consume google things by making those things more difficult, more invasive, less user friendly to use/consume.
That’s it. That’s all.
If I just want to watch a clip that I could before but now I have to sign in because it thinks I’m a not, NO
If it wants me to watch ads for things I’ll never buy and actually forces me to, NO.
If it kills the front ends I prefer to use, or kills the ability to watch via proxy, for my privacy and/or security. NO.
If it feeds me Nazi shit without clicking a single link on a new install on a new browser with no profile on a new IP, fucking NO.
- Comment on EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine 1 week ago:
10% of gross revenue would be better.
Profits can always be turned to “losses” with clever accounting and shell corps (see Hollywood accounting)
And net values can always be offset by deductions and other costs.
You can’t fuck with gross.

- Comment on Judge spares Google from Chrome or Android breakup, orders data sharing with rivals and end to exclusive agreements 2 weeks ago:
Pay no attention to the fabulous new watches and luxury car the judge starts to drive.
A case that affects a broad range of people, such as this one, out be given sentencing by a broad range of people.
Nor a single judge who likely has no technical knowledge or experience that would allow him the wisdom to know what the fuck he is doing and what the (non) consequence of his ruling mean.

- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 2 weeks ago:
Sign up for 10 different free accounts of Proton Drive? It has 5gb free cloud storage.
Though I always prefer the simple physical backup to SD card and backup to PC.
I also have a simple sshd server and use sftp when I’m feeling frisky.
Sending from any device to any device using KDE connect is good too.
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 3 weeks ago:
Another reason why it worka in place of the word death in that phrase.
My only real experience with symbian was waaaaay back when I did tech support for l Sony Ericsson, and while I was more into modding the phones (remember those days?) and playing worms on a 1.5" screen on the walkman line of phones, I did have the p900 and the p1i.
And let me tell you, OS aside, the P1i was indestructible.
One exceptionally intoxicated weekend, the gf and I got into a bit of a tiff.
She grabbed the phone and threw it out the door or the apartment, onto that polished rock type floor.
It impacted as one would expect.
Shattered into a hundred pieces.
But… The screen was the old capacitive touch type, so it was a layer of plastic with a layer of plastic with a layer of plastic with ultra thin wires with a layer of plastic with a layer of glass with a layer of plastic with a layer of metal backing, and the rest of the internals were modular with push in/flip down cable clips that easily separated. The entire body was plastic.
I laughed.
(I’d taken it apart before because mods)
I picked up the parts, put them together as I walked out and turned it back on.
Anyway, symbian.
Oh, the memories.

- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 3 weeks ago:
Closing the side loading option is a path to antitrust suits, a slap in the face to privacy, a kick in the teeth to independent devs and personal use.
There is zero reason for this other than wanting full control of how I use my own phone and how much money/data google can squeeze out of everyone.
I did not purchase a phone to have it later be functionally broken as features it had have been stripped in the name of ‘security’.
A warning message is all that is needed. The current toggle is enough.
We are not toddlers.
There are not possibly enough cases that it warrants such a restrictive policy aside from the stated reasons above.
Give me liberty or give me symbian.
How’s that?

This has completely changed everything I ever held dear and holy.

To find out it was neither Hartman’s character nor his voice is … everything was a lie.
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 5 weeks ago:
So, an atomic powered RAID array with SMART corruption correcting code attribute in a timed replacement sequence of a series of single platter, low RPM, drives?
But apparently, using a simple archival quality DVD+R or Blu-ray.
Apparently verbatim gold archive DVD+r has been rated for between 32 and 127 years with a minimum 18.
Some Blu-ray from a few corps is rated at 50 years.
Under ideal conditions.
However, I’ll stick to my crystal skulls and their magic alien data storage.

So, with the mass deportations which have, according to the quota of 3000 per day, removed ~200,000 - 300,000 people, wages should be skyrocketing and the unemployment rate should be near zero.
Phew.

Immigrants, of course!
