Ballpark numbers (guesstimated by ChatGPT). In the 50s (after the ww2 explosion of the US industrial capacity) you came home after an 8 hour shift in a fridge making factory and had an income that could easily keep up 3 kids (including education), 2 cars, 1 stay at home wife and a house (like in The Simpsons). Since then the work productivity has risen 600% - 700%, yet the average income has risen less than 150% and the median icome less than 80%.

South Korea or Brazil also doesn't have regular citizens? How about Switzerland? List of 85 countries that had mandatory military services in 2023.

As somebody who did IT support - the last two seem perfectly normal to me:

  • Computer "forgot passwords" - obviosly the man is using different browser than regular and it ain't filling in his passwords. Maybee diferent profile in the same browser? Is he using the same account as usual?

  • Wind blowing away wi-fi. She is likely connected to the internet through a point-2-point wifi connection and there may be a tree or something along the way messing not wifi signal in her house but her connectivity to the outside. I'd refer her to her ISP, just instruct her to formulate the question a bit better.

...and just a few hours later: claims of being mistinterpreted (again - Guardian). Poor princeling - never even imagined someone could speak back to him and now has no idea how to act. Maybe shouldn't have left the cave after all 🤔

I don't know about sharing passwords, but I know that if you have an Exchange server on premises (meaning you have mailserver on your own infrastructure maybe somewhere in the building) because you don't want to have your data in the cloud - Outlook for mobile (both iOS and Android versions) has been sending all your data through M$ servers anyway, don't know for how long - quick search returned a 3 year old reference - imo much longer. There are "benefits" that I may be too dumb to understand:

On iOS you can go around and use the default "Mail.app". On Android I haven't found a good app that would work with EWS - I'm using K-9 over IMAP which isn't great.

I don't believe these 3000 individuals faithfully represent the 5+ milion Muslims who live in Germany nor the almost 2 bilion Muslims in the world.

What I do belive they represent is violent religious extremism. And that is not limited to Muslims. You got Buddhists shooting people in Myanmar, Jews shooting people in the west bank, Hindu stoning people in India and even 1st world American Christians shooting on plant parenthood clinics...

We should be vigillant whenever a religions doctrine gets into conflict with what we understand are basic human rights. I am not confident we are. I am not comparing PIS to idk Hamas - but how many women have died in Poland due to their anti-abortion laws and how is that acceptable?

PSA: please remember that when Google is talking about security - they mean financial security of their stockholders.

Wow, I've never heard about "GIZCHINA". It definitely isn't gizmodo - right? 🤔 Right!

  • it is a Czech company with entire capital stock consisting of 4USD 😎 (cca 100 CZK)
  • the text is showing hight probability of AI generation. Which adult human being is going to write eg: " In this article, we will discuss the FAA report in detail, including the risks posed by falling satellites, the causes of these risks, and the potential solutions to mitigate them." 🤖
  • it does not say anything else than this - much more likely human written thing here - only the original is only 1/3 as long. That is IMO how come the AI Writing is literraly jumping out on you from the article. 😱

This is my least favourite century yet.

There was not a single Intel / X86-64 "unibody" Macbook in the entire history of Apple that didn't have a heat stress issue 😂. First unibody was released in 2009, the first w/ "M" chip fixing the problem in 2020 🤦‍♂️

For me the only reason to drive manual was becase automats used to be less effective. With current generation, the computer with its 12 gears is much more ecological then my macho hand lovingly stroking my cars stick can ever be..
