It is to a search engine what a search engine is to physical libraries.

There's all the ML features that have that Android and windows are still catching up to. Let me know when I can search for that paper document I took a photo of by ctrl+f for a string I remember in it.

So it has access to your mail? That's spooky

Those still throttle after a soft cap.

Like the Ukraine battle maps that get posted to Discord?

We're living in age where military base layouts are leaked by fitness trackers. Top secret battle maps leak onto Discord video game channels. Not even as an act of spying, just by accident or carelessness. I just cannot accept that any truly massive secrets could be kept sealed for long. It's the same reason the Area 51 conspiracies are bunk.

Do you have any evidence to back up these outlandish claims?

Taking on debt you don't need is a fundamental failure of personal responsibility

This is disgusting and should be illegal. There's no morally sound justification for this.

Do we have any evidence of that occurring practice? I've heard the theory but never seen the proof

You've had 10 devices develop bloated batteries?

There has to be an environmental factor. Note 7 devices failed less consistently than that and they were eradicated from the market.

Not end it? That is pretty obvious.

You're incorrect, you appear to be replying to the wrong user. Nothing in your link is relevant to what I've said.

Existing media paradigms will not be around for very long, for better or worse. Intellectual property exists because high quality film, music, books, and more, require labor and resources to produce. Within a few years quality media of any type will be so plentiful and abundant it be as cheap as dirt.

No one today hires elite guards to protect a 50kg bag of salt... but at one time we did.

Rogan is literally the largest podcast on the Spotify. It's the definition of mainstream.

flangola7 — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 15:37:12 +0000

Why would a password manager need $1B?

Cloud password manager functionality can be accomplished in 6U of server space. Vault files are measured in kilobytes or megabytes, millions of customers could be handled by a single SSD RAID and a fast Xeon. Infrastructure and software to make it secure, reliable, and user friendly, add expense but not 9 digits of it.

You need to re-read my previous comment. It doesn't appear that you processed and internalized it at all.
