Mmmm I agree in principal, but you need to keep in mind that the ones who elected her into office are also fascists, or at least fascism supporters. They don’t care that she’s a fascist. But they claim to care about actions like the ones that took place there.
The only way she’s losing support from her constituents is for the non-fascist things she does.
Let’s say notifications are like walkie-talkies. You push a button, it sends an alert or your voice to the paired device. Neither one is storing the information, they are just relaying to each other. Now, in this case the government has issued a court order stating that a third party be given a walkie-talkie with the ability to understand the information transmitted by the first. There is still no storage being done, but a second party now receives all the information being broadcast.
It’s not about not having the information. You don’t actually need to store it anywhere to facilitate communication, at least beyond it being in memory which most would agree doesn’t constitute storage in this situation.
Now, could that third party store the information? Absolutely.
You’re claiming it granted them a right they already had, and were already exercising? I don’t think that’s how that works.
Depends on the site being used. Google? Most likely. But I’ve used dozens of others without any issues.
Capture and relay have nothing to do with storage. You can absolutely add storage, but it is in no way a necessary step.
My friend, did you read what the article you linked says? That isn’t storing the data, that’s capturing the data and relaying it, as directed by court order.
You assume there is no other use for the VPN? And honestly, you can get a free trial of a VPN if you want to, to handle this, it doesn’t need a yearly re-up or anything, just when your card expires.
Ever heard of tenths? 22.1C isn’t noticeably different than 22.2C. And yet both are 72F.
Step 1: Understand all forms of DRM
Step 2: Deep dive on the game at a technical level
Step 3: Make a decision
Some people can’t even manage step 3 effectively, and you expect them to follow through with steps 1 and 2?
Not to mention “Dad can I have [game] I really really want it, it looks so fun and it’s all I want for my birthday” “Sorry Billy, but that game is anti consumer and locked into an always online DRM system, and I’m just not willing to support that.”
Like, c’mon. That’s just not how the world works, and we’ve known that for decades. That’s why consumer protection agencies exist.
GB? Amateur.
I’m too young to die.
Yup, ≠ is right “under” =. As is ≈.
The deaf who refuse implants tend towards the “there’s nothing wrong with me why are you trying to fix me” mentality, not the “I don’t want to hear because it looks weird.”
And adoption of eyeglasses is likely higher than most other peripherals. Not to mention, putting in contacts is a chore and requires a little planning, while putting on glasses can be done in seconds in virtually any situation.
Yes, you will get people who refuse to adopt VR/AR. We still have people in the world who refuse to adopt electricity, but if you had asked people 30 years ago if they would carrot a phone around in their pocket you’d have been laughed out of the room… yet here we are.
VR in its current form, I agree, has only one real use.
But when improved upon and made smaller, I could easily see it being used to watch TV or similar. I’ve done that on a few flights and it was decent.
Not to mention, VR is a necessary step to get to AR, and AR has many more applications. Screens with anything anywhere, for one. Imagine a computer with one monitor, but numerous virtual monitors. Or a TV on your ceiling.
It’s iterative. Gaming just happens to be the current driver.
Speaking explicitly of text, they can likely be compressed to an insane degree instead of purged, if someone wanted to. For comparison, the entirety of Wikipedia (text only) is ~22GB.
This isn’t aimed to stop everyone from using it, but to lower the number. There is no claim that warning labels have halted all sales of cigarettes, just that a correlation between the labels and fewer cigarettes exists. There may even be evidence that backs up causation, but I’m not familiar with the topic so can’t speak to it.
Yeah… I’m betting Google voice is nearing its end of life. All the robocall legislation is making other voip services kill off their sms equivalents, I just cant see Google voice being the one service that manages to pull through.
Especially considering it’s a Google service of more than a decade, it’s long past due to be taken out back and shot.
One of the supporting arguments is literally that it was effective against cigarettes…
If they stopped on their own accord, why would they start again because a new law was passed which didn’t restrict them any more than they were previously?
