Identifying yourself for official business on a government site is not the same as providing official ID to a random picture sharing site. Pretty much every service has had a leak which required heaps of people to change their trusted password. How would you fix this when they leaked your full official identity?

People will buy that. People will take on debt to affort it. Because for most people the PC is an appliance they use to watch Facebook and use Office. They don't want to learn anything more than the bare necessities.

Big Tech has decreed you will use AI. Stop resisting and follow your masters wishes.

The calculator app is now a link to Copilot. You can ask it in natural language to multiply 2 by 3 and it will tell you "West Dakota".

If you know the TV series "Billionaires' Bunker", why not take inspiration from that? Rip them off buildinga fake nuclear shelter, create a fake narative and lock them up for good.

You mean distracting the masses from the Epstein files?

I used Claude to code something. The thing is, it happilly creates the code, which looks quite professionally, and is soooo positive about itself. Then you try to run it, which ofcourse doesn't work. Next you feed it the error messages and it very very happilly fixes those bugs, all while being very fond of itself. After a few rounds of that, the code actually runs and does something.

Now I can get that it doesn't work from the first try, ours won't be 100% correct either, but the mistakes it makes tend to be because it mixes information of different versions of libraries.

And why is the damn thing so fond of itself? Everything it does it find "perfect".

The trick is to start an online business using AI and earn enough money to offset the extra hardware cost caused by AI use.

If your accound is permabanned, can you even buy any Reddit Gold?

it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

A few years ago my employer was the victim of randsomware. We're speaking here about a massive network and all sorts of databases and services build on top of those, spanning decades and many different technologies. Basicly several thousand employees and a decade long focus on working digital and automation. Data restoration was not an issue. I haven't heard of anyone losing data.

However, restarting all the services was not as easy. Many of these depended on each other and there were some circular dependencies that have grown organicily over the years. Took about two months to restore core functionality (mostly SAP and email) and many more months to restore all sorts of support services that were required for normal day-to-day work. Two years after the incident the last applications were back online.

but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? Until these display my health, ammo and the direction to my next objective, I'll pass.

Given the national climate, people were not only glad to have a Democrat come to their door,

To be fair, based on who's going door-to-door these days, that isn't that much of an achiement. Still, each time I read one of these victories, it does make me smile.
