I guess “death panels” are fine if they are machines?

I thought they already gutted much of AOSP. Like removing the dialer or contacts and stuff.

Sounds like a philosophical question.

I would say simply to avoid buying phones from ad-companies, but more generally… if you buy hardware from vendors that respect ownership (i.e. that have user-unlockable bootloaders) then you don’t really have to worry about this kind of thing, as even if the company turns evil later, you can probably flash the phone with a 3rd party rom.

I don’t know if this is what you mean, but I find that “Westworld” hits a lot harder post-ChatGPT.

I remember it taking a lot more suspension of disbelief on release, but now much of it falls into the realm of plausible.

Maybe not the “computable consciousness”, but the glitchy hand-wavy “we don’t know how it works either” aspect… at the time it seemed like a mcguffin cop-out, and now that’s like all the new business models.

Layman: “Does it have five gees or four like my old one?”

I seem to recall owning a microsoft tablet that could not have secure boot disabled. Why do you suppose it would be hard when (much like phones) there are already products (like chromebooks) that have done this?

So… microsoft has positioned itself between common users and Linux… and as an authority of sorts.

Is that suse-on-a-phone just a tease, or something awesome I have yet to discover?

I wonder why people downvote this… some kind of brand loyalty/emnity, or buyer’s remorse?

Imagine being on a dev team with a doomsday clock.

The boob that launched a thousand forum threads.

I hope it’s not “worse than useless” (which would mean “misleading”), as my goal was simply to find more identifiers for discussion or research beyond those provided: norway, thorium, 1959…

According to GPT-4.1:

In 1959, Norway achieved a notable milestone by starting up its first nuclear reactor, the JEEP I (Joint Establishment Experimental Pile), located at Kjeller. This reactor was primarily used for research purposes, including early experiments with alternative nuclear fuels such as thorium. While JEEP I itself was not a thorium reactor per se, it laid the groundwork for subsequent Norwegian research into thorium as a nuclear fuel. This early phase demonstrated Norway’s scientific interest in thorium, leveraging its domestic thorium resources and contributing to later thorium reactor experiments.
