It’s not like Australia doesn’t have its own problems with cost of living, being essentially still a colony of the US Empire, etc. It’s a global empire that has global effects, and just moving doesn’t solve anything.

Nah, it’s mostly because gamers Nexus reviewed an LG monitor, which also had that shit (monitors were traditionally ‘dumb’ before this), so he decided to do a broader investigation.

Don’t worry, they all do it. You basically have to buy a dumb display if you want privacy.

If you can detect and identify the other devices on the LAN, you know exactly which other smart devices the customer has, and at scale that’s very valuable market research. They could probably even start sending ads to customers for an LG replacement if a device drops off the network.

They’re still killing people daily in Gaza, and displacing people in the west bank, despite a nominal ceasefire.

That means he’ll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?

Blatter doesn’t run FIFA any more. And was fine with Russia and Qatar having the world cup, so I’m guessing the principles arrived when he retired.

I mean, the thing is that a donation to philanthropy is tax deductible, so even if you control the charity 100%, it counts. Instead of paying taxes, you’re just paying yourself. And once it’s in that charity, you can use that money for any charitable cause, even if that cause benefits the non-charitable side of your portfolio. This means that you can

• pay for your own PR
• use the charity money to buy a bunch of medicine to eradicate some disease, while you have investments in the pharma company that will provide said medicine
• donate to academia to steer research goals and then become a early investor in any spinoff companies that result from that
• donate to a charity run by a politician/other rich person to curry favour

It’s not a coincidence he’s become richer despite ‘donating his wealth’.

Just shows that the idea that Bill Gates was one of the good ones was just PR. There are no good billionaires.

For this specific device you want to be able to hook it up to a TV, and unfortunately TVs tend to come with HDMI, not the superior displayport.

Manpower is a bigger issue for Ukraine compared to Russia. Ukraine is at least not doing human wave tactics and doing more to keep their guys alive, but Russia can last longer in that aspect as well.

I do agree that Putin can’t stop the war for anything less than complete victory, otherwise people will start asking questions about why this was necessary as you said.

Yeah, they are still able to trade with China (which happens to make everything anyway), and as opposed to most countries, Russia can still draw on a lot of the remaining Soviet infrastructure that was specifically built because Russia needed to be self sufficient during the cold war.

As long as Putin can manage to remain in power Russia can keep this war going.

He left rockstar after red dead redemption II, partly because he was tired of dealing with those execs.

Some people are still used to 100% windows at work and take that home, I guess.

You have to keep in mind that ever since Elon took over Twitter, nobody’s left that actually understands how it works, so whenever they implement a change they do it in the most hamfisted way possible, usually in the presentation layer.

Disabling translation was just the easiest way to do this, as banning Israeli accounts for their actual hate speech was going to get the ADL on Elons ass.

No, those aren’t a thing where I live thankfully, although that would probably cause me to switch petrol stations if they started doing this (or finally buy an electric car so I can have the ads on a giant screen while I’m driving /s).

At least it’s static. They could’ve done a constant animation for maximal annoyance while you’re trying to focus on cutting onions.

Yeah, I haven’t either. I don’t even know how I installed it (package manager or raw). Will need to look into that.

That’s how I read it first time, I don’t see how it’s misleading. I think everyone knows that Windows isn’t ready for the desktop.

Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.
