  • Trump reportedly suspends Nvidia H20 export ban plan after $1 million dinner with Jensen Huang

    Jump

  • $1 million-a-head dinner

    I can't even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can't be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

  • A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy

    Jump

  • Probably also a factor is that you would be spinning up a whole production line and automation systems for phones that will only be in production for 12 to 18 months, after which you'd have to adapt or redo everything for the new model.

  • At least Quark had some integrity.

  • That may be but if they would shorten "female soldier", wouldn't they refer to her as "a soldier" and not "a female"?

  • From a Lufthansa mail titled ”you are eligible for an upgrade"

  • Seeing how similar this interface looks in all the examples makes me think this is not something the airlines did come up with themselves, but rather might be a something offered by a third party that they implement in their booking process.

    I.e. not only milking the customer as much as possible by having them bid instead of fixed price upgrades, but maybe even having a third party taking a fee or commission, which will ultimately be passed on to the customer through higher prices.

    This is just speculation though. Does anyone have insight into this?

  • European countries deny claims Trump could cripple air force with F-35 ‘kill switch’

    Jump

  • There are already some: Eurofighter, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale.

    Although I remember a news story from like 7 years ago, where Austrias new Eurofighter jets couldn't fly because they did not receive the GPS license from the US in time... So still dependent on the US, even for "domestic" jets, though that problem could probably be solved

  • Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

    Jump

  • The first 6 years of Firefox were done without telemetry and after it was implemented it was opt-in for a while.

    While I see the use of telemetry for development purposes, I would not call it aridiculous thing to not want

  • Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

    Jump

  • I think this is a reasonable explanation.

    But I also believe a large part of the firefox user base does not want any data about them collected by their browser, no matter if it is for commercial purposes or simply analytics / telemetry. Which is why the original statement "we will never sell any of your data" was just good enough for them, and anything mozilla is now saying is basically not good enough, no matter how much they clarify it to mean "not selling in the colloquial sense"

  • Trump declines to describe Putin as a 'dictator' after calling Zelenskyy one

    Jump

  • Easy, the real Donny wouldn't know what Pierogi are, unless McDonalds has them on their menu now...

    I honestly can't believe we are in a situation where the US conservatives are cozying up to Russia and Nazi Ideology of all things. And they expect help for Ukraine to be nothing more than a business deal type loan with immediate financial return instead of political goodwill from what it sounds like

  • Some Cybertruck Owners Say Their Trucks Are Shedding Body Panels; One Thinks He Knows Why

    Jump

  • The trim piece may not be the only part of the truck that is effectively secured only with adhesive: Tomasko says he believes other components, including the truck's quarter panels, also seem to be held on this way,

    Ah yes, the "stainless steel exo skeleton"... it's just glued on, after all

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

    Jump

  • Oh absolutely. At this point I'm not surprised anymore that they turned to shit, it's more like I think they've hit rock bottom already but they manage to surprise me with new ways to dig their hole even deeper.

  • Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta

    Jump

  • So I thought this is never going to fly under GDPR. Then the article goes on to say:

    Many privacy laws, including the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA, require user consent for tracking. However, because fingerprinting works without explicit storage of user data on a device, companies may argue that existing laws do not apply which creates a legal gray area that benefits advertisers over consumers.

    Oh come on Google, seriously? I remember a time when Google were the good guys, can't believe how they've changed...

  • Really seems like they're missing one...

  • Frankly, I quite enjoyed the war

  • This is a great analogy for anectotal evidence ("I had a great time") vs empirical evidence (millions died, i.e. did not have a great time)

  • I still have mine :) I still use it every few years, though just for moving the pc to a new appartment, it's been forever since I was on a LAN party... Though mine is the basoc model, without the attachments for keaboard and cables

  • I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.

  • Swiss reject plans for bigger motorways and extra rights for landlords

  • When you get to vote for multiple submissions every 2-3 months, turnout tends to be lower. Probably only people who hold a strong opinion about the topics of the current vote will actually vote.

  • Goddammit Texas!

    Jump

  • Yeah that's pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear.

    I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the "old" method with voter registration for anyone who doesn't want a government ID because of "muh freedoms".

    That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn't want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.
