AtmaJnana , 2 months ago to Technology in Best printer 2024: a humorous critique of the Google search engine, LLMs and printer enshittification

From the title and picture, I thought this was some weird diss on the depicted Brother laser printer and stopped by to defend it. Fortunately it is, instead, tauting the superiority of Brother laser printers.

I own the depicted printer, or one very close to it, and it is a workhorse. Brother laser printers are the way.

Not a federal ID, but a federal standard for State IDs.
And not "only", but SocSec card is one of the several forms of ID you could use. Not required and not enough by itself.

Between this Anthem, Target, and OPM, it seems likely that most Americans have their SSN out there for criminals to buy.

AtmaJnana , 3 months ago to Technology in United States v. Apple is pure nerd rage

NAL, but it would likely be enough for a felony obstruction of justice charge. Add to that, depending on specifics of Apple's legal response (and whether they throw the employee under the bus,) a CPAA charge for exceeding authorized access in a computer system.

Commiting felonies to antagonize a DOJ lawyer personally would be a whole different level of stupid.

AtmaJnana , 3 months ago to Technology in US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones

I once got an Apple Watch as a bonus at work. Had to sell it to a buddy because I couldn't use it without an iPhone. So dumb.

AtmaJnana , 3 months ago to Privacy in EU moving towards total monetary surveillance and banning all anonymous payments

The same Europe that is home to Orban and Vucic and Erdogan? Yeah, good thing you never elect right-wing ideologues with a penchant for authoritarianism.

I have Nitter Redirect installed, but Nitter stopped working. So it just blackholes all X links. Some day I'll add them to my pihole, I guess.
