So they've finally found a way to make a wrapper around a blockchain with a database, nice.

If only developers/managers had their own sense of using the proper tools for the job instead of just swallowing everything the Big Tech shoves down their throat...

But when you see those job ads with all these "great new technologies" it's hard not to fall into the trap.

I've used to use an app (there are many) which measures angular velocity using accelerometer and displays RPM (you place the phone on the turntable). I can't see why would anyone need something other than that.

When he says "internet" he actually means "US intranet" right?

Looks like someone important didn't like that Apple placed a blatant backdoor in their CPUs.

In your leadership team's defense, they are all probably on blow.

I've got a newsflash for you... US IS NOT THE WORLD. Stocks (companies) are US based and Bitcoin isn't. So while you are not entirely wrong, you missed the most important difference between stocks and Bitcoin in your comparison.

> An IP or MAC based rule does not prevent a malicious device from exfiltrating data

Care to elaborate?

These ip cameras have 2-3 different backdoors, which are even easy to discover. Probably more not so easy ones. If you have this in your home disable outgoing connections at router level, and you're safe.

New comment by shudza in "Manjaro is a free and open source Linux operating system that emphasizes privacy"

shudza — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 15:18:12 +0000

I had problems with manjaro in regards to package updates and kernel management. As I understood, manjaro uses pacman in a weird way by wrapping it with pamac. Pamac was unable, at least for me, to update/install a single specific package without updating the whole system first. This made daily usage a living hell, because packages that are built from source can make a "htop" installation last 30 mins. On the other hand, yay is by far the best package manager I've ever used.

EDIT: Also, supposedly, Manjaro team has some management issues.

EndeavourOS does the same and is miles better. I switched a while ago, never looked back.

I'm pretty sure they have employees from at least 20 countries. That means any one of those countries could block the deal?

How come the UK is the one that blocks this? Aren't those US based companies?

Is this what it all comes down to? Is human prosperity actually revolving around one thing, and it's ads?

How do you calculate computing capacity? What is the output - AI gibberish? What guarantees that its generated by the official model?

This only works with maths - that is SHA-256 or other hash algorithms in a Proof of Work manner. The only thing that can't be spoofed is maths.
