Did you mean this to be a text to your neighbor?

Their hacking teams will still be connected.

That was true a while back, but yes drives have gotten way better.

That’s just failure rate though, not data loss. You need your drives using a sane file system like zfs or using raid 1/10/6 where discs can do error checking as well to prevent silent data loss.

They also need to be powered on. Offline drives will lose data to bit rot over time.

Its something to charge you with when the cops go on a fishing expedition at your house for weed or whatever else.

Its just a punishment law that cops get to use at their discretion totally fairly.

They just need to add a way to mount it to a gun and then its not a dildo, its a gun accessory.

That uses way, way more water and way more time than just cleaning the dishwasher trap occasionally.

Why not

More expensive

This Anker does all of the above. Its switching speed is 10ms, so it fits the UPS niche as well.

Meanwhile, I’ve had nothing but trouble with consumer APC and find Cyberpower’s bullet proof. Had one that went 10yrs before any issues, and a second with 3+ and counting, no problem.

An alternative to both is the burgeoning battery banks for camping/emergency power. Most of these offer UPS quality switching times, so they can act as a UPS when not in use for an emergency. Ecoflow/ anker solix/etc. A big advantage of these is the battery chemistry is very long lived and much better than UPS lead acid. Dont expect a pure sinewave, but you weren’t going to get that from most consumer UPS anyway.

They didnt buy ARM. They tried to, but the buy out failed. Biden’s FTC shut that merger down.

Hopefully in a box.

As a heads up, your readme has “machine” misspelled as “maschine” in two spots:

• On your current maschine

• On another maschine

Looks like thats the german spelling?

Made lots and lots and lots of money selling their stake.

So yes.

You think a nearly trillion dollar public company has an internal division that writes malware against flaws in its own software in order to harvest data from its own apps. It does this to gain just a bit more data about people it already has a lot of data on, because why not purposely leave active zero days in your own software, right?

That is wildly conspiratorial thinking, and honestly plain FUD. It undermines serious, actual privacy issues the company has when you make up wild cabals that are running double secret malware attacks against themselves inside Google.

Anduril is Palmers Luckey “smart” missle/border tower company. Palmers Luckey, the alt right billionaire that sold Oculus to Facebook, whose sister is married to child rapist and former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz. He has deep ties to alt right billionaire Peter theil, the facebook/paypal billionare, that owns the data harvesting/ai company Palentir that Israel uses to target “enemy combatants”.

Theil is an outspoken monarcist who literally believes in an american king and that women should not be allowed to vote. He was the primary donor to Vance senate campaign, and a large reason he was the VP pick.

Yes, deeply fucked.

Agreed. That still doesnt mean google is not doing E2EE for its RCS service.

Im not arguing Google is trustworthy or better than Signal. I’m arguing that E2EE has a specific meaning that most people in this thread do not appear to understand.

So your stance is that Google is applying self designed malware to its own services to violate its own policies to harvest data that could bring intense legal, financial and reputational harm to it as an org it was ever discovered?

Seems far fetched.

You have the key, not the provider. They are explicit about this in the implementation.

They can only read the messages before encryption if they are backdooring all android phones in an act of global sabotage. Pretty high consequences for soke low stakes data.

E2EE means a 3rd party cant extract anything in the messages at all, by definition.

If they are doing the above, it’s not E2EE, and they are liable for massive legal damages.

Thats below market for a 40hr week in San Francisco for a software dev. From levels.fyi, which allows people to confirm their employment anonymously:

The average Software Engineer salary range in San Francisco Bay Area, CA is from $195,000 to $350,000. Last updated: 12/3/2024

Town is wildly overpriced, and hes paying about 1/4th what he should be for 84 hrs/week.
