  • Oh my poor friend. None of what you said was witty. You previously said “hourly” and have now linked an article that says I was wrong when I said a singular attack in 10 months there were in fact 2, count em 2, whole rocket attacks (though one was not by Hamas). Mea culpa! I will point out that your very own linked article literally says “The volley of about 20 rockets caused no casualties”. Imagine that?! There are not hourly rocket attacks and zero Israeli civilians have been harmed since October. I don’t know what sort of hardware is required for wits but I can assure you you are lacking in it and perhaps have horse blinder hardware installed that you are not aware of. You have proven quite well that you are neither an expert nor well educated apparently.

    Deep breath. It does seem we are arguing points and that we in fact agree the whole situation is terrible. It is just upsetting when you make up things about Palestinians harming Israeli civilians when that is not true. It is only Palestinian civilians in the line of fire and it is heartbreaking.






  • I work in healthcare IT. EHR clients and other necessary software that hold PHI (protected/private health information) run only on Windows. Recall seems to require a PC with a discrete 40 TOPs NPU so none of the current workstations. There is an opt-out already so I’m sure, though not positive, it can be turned off with a group policy.

    I, optimistically, think this is a moot point for businesses. The goal is to get consumer data to sell not lose business purchases.

    Cynically, I think it will be forced on consumers with, eventually, no option to turn it off.



  • I feel like the headline and all these comments have WAAAAAYYYYY too much faith in the technical savvy and/or privacy concerns of the average pc user. They are not committing suicide. They know that a very small minority will be upset by recall and AI but the vast majority don’t know enough to care and definitely won’t take the time to learn about why they should care.




  • What streaming device is $20? Amazon firestick is close to that but still more and has all the ads and tracking we’re complaining about. Chromecast, a used crappy version, is $50+ after taxes it looks like, then Roku seems to be even more. I mean I get it and we all want to stop ads. I personally have pihole and just blocked the Samsung telemetry stuff but not everyone is that savvy. That’s the point of the first comment of this chain. Most people just want a simple single device to watch what they want without all the ads and tracking. All these companies suck, let’s unite over that!
