But if China sees chip making as a state asset, I wonder if, knowing this, they may now be able to prevent it.

Hmm

They were exceptionally difficult to find to install the app. That alone will keep them from being successful. Add to that that the app is not particularly impressive… I’m not sure if their chances.

Quexotic ,

Porque no los dos?

Quexotic ,

Biggest difference in my eyes is that with a layoff you at least get to choose who leaves but in this case you only lose the best and most qualified.

Nice work Dell.

Quexotic ,

Touché

Quexotic ,

Because the only one who wins in a war is the military industrial complex, and they have fantastic lobbyists!

Quexotic ,

What I’m saying is even the victors suffer the loss of many deaths thus the only winners are the military industrial complex supplying the arms and becoming enriched. Does that make more sense?

Слава Україні!

Quexotic ,

It makes me sad that they’re having to conscript the youth of Ukraine. What if it was my kid? What if it was me?

I hope they can end this fast!

Quexotic ,

I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you trying to say that it being pro-war is a necessary evil? Are you assuming that the world would be less better off without powerful and breathtakingly enriched entities that thrive on war?

I’m not saying I have all the answers but I don’t think I have to have all the answers to be against war or to be against the military industrial complex. Maybe that’s just me. 😁

Quexotic ,

100% I hate the fact that we’re funneling money I’m anti-war but the alternative is definitely much worse. If we don’t support Ukraine, Russia gains power and a free pass to invade whoever the hell they want. If we don’t support Israel we leave a power vacuum and The power influence of the US gets replaced by either Russia or China. No good options anyehere.

Obviously, supporting Israel is also supporting genocide. It’s a classic catch-22.

I’m so glad I’m not the president! He gets to choose between eating a shit sandwich, and eating shit gumbo.

At least Ukraine has a pretty righteous cause. So there’s that…

Quexotic ,

What an interesting thing to say. Why would you think that I’m not?

Quexotic ,

I found on the internet it helps to be explicit because nuance is difficult for some.

Quexotic ,

You’re right. ITT I complained about lost nuance LOL.

I found this app that helps to mitigate this issue. It disables fingerprint if your phone gets too far away from a Bluetooth wearable or in several other conditions. It’s worth looking into for sure though it is only in preview for now.

I think it’s an excellent choice for anybody that’s got to wearable. You could probably do all this with past or two if you had the free time, which I do not.

Quexotic ,

Yeah. It’s pretty rad. I’ve been playing with it all day.

If I set my watch and airplane mode it also immediately locks the phone, but it also does that when it goes out of range. It looks like the app should work with any Bluetooth device so any wearable should work just fine or even earphones if you really wanted.

Quexotic ,

Neat! I wonder what the learning curve is like on that.

Quexotic ,

The white outfit is nice. I’ve played this game for maybe 80h. It truly was a spiritual journey for me too. It made me cry more than once.

It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Sky: Children of the Light - Players Offering to Take Your Hand (beehaw.org)

In Sky: Children of the Light you can let yourself get taken by the hand, and the other player guides/plays for you and you barely need to do anything anymore. Felt a bit absurd and funny, but interesting nonetheless. Certainly unique. It was also very good to eat some snacks and watch yourself progress while doing so. bee happy...

Quexotic ,

I haven’t played this in a while I think I’ll load it up

Quexotic ,

It’s been 3 hours so I decided to go ahead and look for myself and I’m thinking perhaps they are talking about this: pcmag.com/…/nordvpn-actually-we-do-comply-with-la…

Quexotic OP ,

Thank you ❤️. It’s harder because I thought they were actually becoming more progressive. I just can’t tolerate this kind of intolerance.

Quexotic OP ,

What I don’t understand is how they can get so much so right but so much of it so terribly wrong.

It feels like double think.

Quexotic OP ,

What I’ve observed is that inside the Catholic Church it’s seen as something quite similar to American politics where you have the left and the right and they’re both pushing separate agendas within the organization and it truly is just as political and it truly is just as divided but the problem is what they’re doing here is making a statement that represents the entire organization and that statement is gut-wrenchingly bigoted.

After a certain point regardless of where you stand if an organizations doctrine is in disagreement with your own values You’ve got to just leave and the problem is a lot of the progressives just won’t leave Catholicism.

Hopefully this statement changes that and they see a mass exodus. Pun intended.

Quexotic OP , (edited )

I think we’re really gets me is that they’re trying to play both sides right? They’re willing to have priests bless gay marriages but that’s as far as it’ll go. They stand up for human rights… until it comes to abortion, surrogacy, and bodily autonomy.

They’re just hell-bent on being on the wrong side of history.

Quexotic OP ,

Unfortunately that time has long passed. Have you ever heard of plenary indulgences?

Quexotic OP ,

I suppose eventually their karma will run over their dogma.

Quexotic OP ,

Thank you.

Quexotic ,

Rayman Legends and Borderlands both live rent free in my mind. I don’t know how to feel about it.

Horizon Zero dawn comes in a close 3rd place.

Quexotic ,

Maybe I’m too much of a goof but I haven’t noticed any ads and I haven’t found any way to turn them off either. Is this only in the desktop version or is it also in the mobile version? Normally I just use the mobile version.

Quexotic ,

They probably should be able to. They no doubt got compensated in some way for each game played.

Quexotic ,

I am unreasonably excited for this. Got the free download of control, willing to buy the copy of control 2

Quexotic ,

I was thinking Sony. Played it on PS4. I wonder if it they do it in a similar way.

Quexotic ,

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

I s’pose genocide has an effect on reputation.

Edit: Apologies. I didn’t read it and should not have commented.

The trend starts before the attack on Israel.

Quexotic ,

Yes. People are unable to handle nuance. They clearly don’t see the difference.

Quexotic ,

Fair enough. Apologies. I didn’t read it and should not have commented. I’m just tired.

Both Israel and Hamas are terrorists. Both dedicated to genocide.

Israel just has a higher body count.

Quexotic ,

Yes. They thought they could keep skimming. The problem is that their (and everyones, really) business model is predicated on YOY growth and when it doesn’t happen, they fire people to try and recapture funds.

Quexotic ,

Most likely an app updater written by someone who is too lazy to make their updater hidden.

As others suggested, look in task scheduler, but make sure you run it elevated. Focus on any updater that’s calling an app from a bat file, and move out from there.

Quexotic ,

Honestly it can be really tricky to keep that crap from popping up and if the guy that wrote the install did it all dirty and didn’t hide his windows, calling a boatload of processes, it can be truly difficult for the guy that writes the updater to keep everything hidden.

I’ve been there.

Quexotic ,

Wait for the next update cycle. Lol. I’ve tracked these kinds of things down in the past. It’s tough. Look into procmon and taskmon if it bugs you again, and godspeed my friend.

Quexotic ,

To see what they’re up to.

Quexotic ,

I can’t bring myself to watch that bullshit either.

GPT summary of transcript:

NATO Expansion: Putin criticizes NATO’s eastward expansion, viewing it as a threat to Russia’s security. He emphasizes that Russia did not initiate the conflict in Ukraine but responded to NATO’s actions and the West’s support for what he describes as a coup in Ukraine in 2014.

Conflict in Ukraine: Putin expresses a willingness to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, blaming the West and Ukrainian leadership for the lack of dialogue.

I think they’re saying the CIA does more good than harm and the imprisonment of this particular individual serves the common good.

Thoughts on BOOX Tab Ultra C? (shop.boox.com)

Does anyone here have a BOOX e-paper tablet? I’m a big fan of e-paper devices—I love my Pebble smartwatch, Kindle Paperwhite, and Light Phone II. I’ve been eyeing the Tab Ultra C for quite a while, and I am considering the pros and cons. Mostly, I intend to use it for browsing the web and maybe some light note taking and...

Quexotic ,

I would only get one if it also had a backlit display. Preferably amber

This article has some useful considerations.

Happy shopping.

This looks like an okay analysis.
