It would be just easier, in an event of shutdown, to freeze all the assets of all members of Congress and Senate. You’ll see how fast they’ll reach an agreement when it’s their money on the table and not someone else’s.

so why hibp calls them data breach??? Ultra misleading, almost defamation, everyone including me only reads the headlines

This makes me think: if chia and similar coins simply generated the monopoly money by “finding the right numbers on the right rainbow table” … were they a covert way for some government to have a distributed decryption network? Especially thinking how popular it was in china

HDDs used for chia mining or similar shitcoins have been used for just a full wipe to create the huge rainbow table or whatever the shitcoin needed and then left on idle with very little read activity for years

It’s not the typical “end of life” server HDD with 80k hours of 24/7 full use

It’s exactly how it worked. A company called synthient made a master list with all the leaked emails + all leaked passwords. Then they were hacked and it leaked

The shitcoins were a thing also without ethereum, there was even a shitcoin generator website, pay 0.1 BTC (when it was worth like $100), upload your icon, choose the name, and download the compiled clients for mining that shit

There are a lot of “refurbished” drives from when the Chia bubble popped (a useless shitcoin that wasted HDD space with garbage data as a proof of cryptographic work)

Let’s make a master list of all the emails leaked with their passwords, what could go wrong?

Maybe it changed in the recent years? I remember clearly it was forbidden by FDA for sale without prescription

It already happens with nano-hydroxyapatite pastes. In Europe you find them at the supermarket for 5 euro, in USA you need a prescription and it’s sold for $$$

What? The line goes up? Where I can invest my life savings in the IPO?

Where’s the AI? It seems to be “if it moves, then it’s a target”

I use cachy on my laptop but I wouldn’t call friendly an arch based distro that during setup asks the user “which of those 19 desktop environment do you want? Choose wisely only one”

It doesn’t even have a gui to install new software (at least, I am not an expert, I chose hyprland and it didn’t install that, and when I manually installed KDE Discover and the GNOME software manager, they only show and install flatpak apps - but because I’m not an expert I might have messed something up)

There’s a chance it will happen outside the USA.

Deciding to send to the landfill every PC sold after 2018 is a decision that they saw analyzing only numbers from big American corporations. “Anyway they lease the computers and have a refresh every 3-5 years”

But the rest of the world?

Here in Italy I still see people on Windows 7

When I traveled in southeast Asia I saw people using windows XP

Or Brazil, where the import taxes make a windows 11 compatible PC ultra expensive

Regular people and small businesses , especially outside the USA won’t simply buy a new PC just because Microsoft and Intel needed the line to go up.

afaik the lidar data is crunched locally, then sent to the remote server for easy consumption

when those vacuums are flashed with valetudo, they can still make the map with lidar without internet connection

I bought a drive like that from Amazon Germany for that price, found it using diskprices.com. It was “brand new” and indeed the smart reported 0 hours, but it died within a few hours when I sent a dd wipe operation to stress test it.

Conclusion: it was a scam, the drive was already dead and had thousands of hours of life in a server. They used some low level diag tool to reset the counters and make it look like new instead of having 50k hours of life

Fun fact: they shipped it in a paper mailer, completely inappropriate for an HDD. Probably in this way they can blame Amazon warehouse “it’s them, they packed it like that!” if someone reports is as DOA. If instead it still works after 50k hours of 24/7 abuse and shipping it across Europe in a paper mailer, then it’s indestructible and will outlast the user.

Why this people never get cancer or horrible accidents?

no but i mean that if the user internet is down, the same problems would came out

The fix is investing in redundant internet at house from multiple providers. Satellite+fiber and achieve 99.99999% uptime so the bed won’t Crash and allow you a good night of sleep.

Because it’s unacceptable to send commands directly from the phone to the bed located in the same room, they need to transit between a dozen server farms to gather the delicious telemetry

Also: local=no subscription and that’s so bad
