We’ve drastically simplified and made tech accessible to everyone with a smartphone, you no longer need computer skills to get on the internet to shop or participate in social activities. Kids use apps’ platforms for the things we had to build and host ourselves 20y ago.

It pioneered DDoS attacks so, uh, yeah

90s script kiddie here - a bunch of the shit you can do as a minor with low/no consequences becomes SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS as an adult with assets. It’s just not worth the risk to keep dicking around with things that might land you in prison or cost you everything you have.

I mean, global warming us slowly into extinction is a pretty AI way to go about it

Just wait for someone to exploit it, that’s pretty common with mediatek SoCs

Excellent, the battery life on my 9 pro is starting to suffer and this will drive the prices on used 11s and 12s down to impulse buy at 3am levels.

Linux live USB, plug the drive into a sacrificial hub that can eat a bus kill if needed

If: you’re a starred contact and call twice within 10 minutes and I happen to have the phone at hand and I’m pretty sure you have something important to say I’ll probably pick it up.

That happens about once or twice a year. We invented voicemail so we can speak when it works well for both parties.

Here’s an even easier hack than all of that :effort:

Just hold the power button down for about 10 seconds, ez-pz

Gimp 4.0 is on schedule for a 2040 release at this point

I routinely do 1-4TB images of SSDs before making major changes to the disk. Run fstrim on all partitions and pipe dd output through zstd before writing to disk and they shrink to actually used size or a bit smaller. Largest ever backup was probably ~20T cloned from one array to another over 40/56GbE, the deltas after that were tiny by comparison.

If you’re using an Intel chip look into GVT-g and consider running Arch from a VM, that’ll be the closest thing to native.

The unfortunate thing about running an Arch container from a Debian host is that you’re relying on an older kernel and an older systemd host side and I’ve found that often causes compatibility problems inside the Arch container. If you are very, very lucky Arch will just work inside the container, but IME that’s fairly rare as systemd often has breaking changes over several releases (and Arch tends to be at least several releases ahead of Debian.)

Well duh. We haven’t even solved living on the ISS for more than a year at a time yet.

I like the Scandinavian system of fines for breaking the law. They’re scaled based on your annual income so a speeding ticket isn’t just a fee for the wealthy.
