There is no such thing as a secure computer. You can bury it in cement and drop it in the deepest hole in the ocean. If someone needs access to it bad enough, they will get in.
My SO says the same thing. (He’s an electronics engineer who writes the software buried inside devices.) “For every can there is a can opener.” He also rants about different attacks, the worst one apparently being a “rubber hose attack”. (I think he means people getting tortured to open up whatever it is.)
That is a very dangerous question to be asking of anybody with Asian connections in their family…
I’ve never had Amazon. Never had Apple anything. Never had Disney services of any kind. Dropped Google stuff years ago (though I watch Youtube videos with a bunch of anti-ad stuff my SO set up for me). I do, however, pirate like crazy.
Of course it’s easier for me. I don’t live in North America or Europe. Very easy to avoid this stuff here.
I use in-app purchases almost daily.
I mean about 85% of what I buy is purchased online. Via app(s).
Much of it is, yes, ability to commit the violence. It leads to a feedback effect. Men can commit violence more easily with less harm, so they do. The act of doing it validates it so they do it again. This becomes encoded as "manly’ behaviour in society so now it’s expected. When it’s expected, it leads to more such violent expression and the feedback loop continues.
It’s really eye-opening, incidentally, to live in a country with different markers of masculinity that are culturally enforced. You don’t get a lot of wall punching here, for example. Shouting, sure. But not physical displays. Because physical displays of anger, etc. are frowned upon and get you shunned.
Not on your life! I mean even his wife won’t let him touch her now!
Declare ICE a criminal enterprise and have anybody who is in any way affiliated with ICE (including “Secretary” Noem the puppy-killer) detained for trial upon entering Canada for criminal conspiracy.
More emotional? No. Men and women both are creatures of emotional complexity.
More violent in their emotions? Hell, yes. Men, hands-down.
The PM should just:
Then never do business with the USA ever again; start building up relationships with nations that aren’t filled to the brim with hateful assholes.
Anybody wanting to know just how bad the USA has gotten just needs to look at this: we have to ask. We really have to ask if a meme on a phone got someone banned from the USA.
Literally any other year before 2025 and the answer to that question would be so obviously a “no” in the public eye that you’d be laughed at for even asking it.
Now it’s all too believable.
My dad once picked up a beautiful hitchhiker. In the course of the drive she claimed to be a witch who could turn him into anything she wanted. My father, being very skeptical, asked her to prove it. She whispered some magic words in his ear and, sure enough, he turned into a motel.
Automobile owner’s manuals are written, it seems, by unpaid engineering interns with no experience in writing for human beings.
You know, like how most computer manuals are written.
Definitely a tech type: Arrogant, snide, and dismissive of people whose skill sets don’t match their own.
I would start showing how little you actually know about anything (including your precious tech) but the lesson would be lost. You don’t know enough about even the basics of how we know things, how societies work, and what the relationship is between humans and technologies to follow along.
Buhbye.
And an enormous amount of human fæces as a binder.
He should increase the dose. Maybe mix it with booze. I hear that’s a great way to increase its effect.
He should try being likeable.
“Think” is doing some very heavy lifting in that sentence.
You make it sound like she’s been anywhere near Trump’s dick for the past decade or so.
I use this program called “qBittorrent” to get music. Then when I find stuff I like, I find other means to get money to the makers of it (like merch or the like).
If I could actually put money into Bandcamp I’d go with that one for actually getting money to them, but they don’t accept any currency or payment scheme I can offer.
