One is them is angry, the other is furherious
It was exactly the reason I was thinking
What was it, not even two months ago when they said they “listened” to us and that they wouldn’t go forward with Recall? And we all said they would still roll it in later when the dust had settled? Yup, we were right.
That’s extremely uncharacteristic. Are they trying to prepare for an antitrust probe?
They’ll just do it anyway quietly later on
Aaaand… Whatever company hadn’t pulled their assets out of Russia yet are now scrambling to do it.
I must have missed something. Had it ever stopped?
Nah, I’m just a bored guy on the internet
Day 1 after implantation: this is great! I now have photographic memory of everything! Best decision ever.
Day 20: I’ve memorized so much so fast, I’m going to have to go for the next higher up subscription level to unlock more storage.
Day 200: I’m running out of space again. Going for the plus subscription.
Day 600: ran out of storage space again. I can’t afford the next higher subscription. I’m going to have to start deleting unnecessary memories. My brain has lost its natural ability to make and retain memories by itself. I can’t even function on a daily basis without free storage space.
Day 700: I have run out of memories that I’m willing to part away with. I still can’t afford the higher subscription. Luckily there is a cheaper tier. All I have to do is give NeuraLink full access and rights over my memories for marketing and AI training purposes.
Day 900: They have increased the cost of subscription. I can’t afford it. I’m going to lose half of my storage space. I have two days to choose which of my memories to keep. The rest will be no longer accessible to me, but will still be used by Neuralink for their own purposes as they own those memories now.
Day 1200: the chip will no longer be supported next month. I can’t afford the new model. It will be disabled in 30 days.
Day 1235: I have just found this diary. It explains a lot. I only wished it told me what my name is.
I’ve lost count of how many times Microsoft, and many other big tech companies, hindered me from doing something I wanted to do on a device that I own for “security” reasons while it had absolutely nothing to do with security and everything to do with forcing their users to comply with their business model.
DRM chips have nothing to do with device security and everything to do with further controlling what you can and cannot do on your machine and making more money off of you.
You really shouldn’t believe the Corporate bad faith arguments used to justify anti-consumer practices.
So Microsoft wants to force everyone to ditch their perfectly good machines so they can make more money off of selling OEM licenses.
I’m just waiting for Europe to sue their greedy asses for planned obsolescence.
I saw it years before deepfakes were a thing. I wish I had saved the video now. I would have loved to take a more critical look at it.
There was a Trump interview from the 90s where he said that if he ever ran for office he would go Republican because they were stupid, gullible and easily manipulated. Sadly I cannot find that interview anymore.
Between that, his US lap dog Trump looking like he’s going to lose the elections badly, and Ukraine taking control of more Russian territory in a week than they have been able to take from Ukraine in months, Putin is definitely not sleeping well right now.
So… Someone is going to jail for that, right?
Right?
Even if Putin dies and gets replaced by someone who immediately stops the war and brings Russia back into a mindset of international trade and cooperation, Russia’s economy will still be fucked for well over a century by the absolute disaster that is its demographics. They were already experiencing very bad “echoes” in their demographics from a entire generations being destroyed by their meat wave tactics of WW2. Now the problem is even worse.
Putin might have completely ruined Russia for centuries.
One thing that annoys me with RGB lit peripherals is that the “rainbow” default mode is meant to advertise that it is RGB so you know when you buy it you can easily make it the color scheme you want. But too many people leave it on that default mode after they’ve bought it which makes you wonder if they even know they can customize it.
No shit. Now do Amazon, apple, meta, Microsoft, Disney and all the food conglomerates. Then it will have been a good start.
They’re not just “missing” they are dead. They haven’t been just “forced of the boat”, they have been murdered.
