Well, yes, but that is not exclusive to Pixels, and in fact, most phones (other than the latest iPhones) are more vulnerable. Pixels, especially the latest devices, have the best hardware security features of any Android phone (unfortunately). You’re focused on Pixel, but that’s only because of the recent leaks which specifically focused on Pixel because of their breaching difficulty. Here’s the full matrix from last year (which hasn’t leaked as recently):

GrapheneOS, even now, is not vulnerable for several reasons, most of which tie into the hardware features of the Pixel. There’s a reason Graphene only works on Pixel.

All I’m saying is that it’s entirely misleading to imply that only Pixels are vulnerable. This is not the case, even for iPhones.

I’m also not sure why you seem to be trying to say I disagree on the fact that Google is happy to leave vulnerabilities wide open, when that is exactly what I said in my original comment. Their new release schedule allows them to leave these vulnerabilities open for an even longer time, making Cellebrite’s job easier.

The law enforcement angle is exactly the point, yep.

Yeah, absolutely.

It probably will require her to pay up regarding attorney fees too right? I guess I’m not sure how it works in this case.

I’m glad I won’t ever have to hear about her ever again.

I think it attributes a lot of things like being depressed from poverty and the state of the world to weed. It’s no surprise that depressed individuals use substances to cope, and it’s also strange that they seem to avoid that. I think not putting smoke into your lungs is healthiest of course, but I think they’re making the wrong correlation here.

I notice that it’s mostly blue leaning states rushing to help people not starve. I guess it’s not a surprise, but people in red states are going to be affected by the lack of SNAP the most. I doubt it’ll make them stop voting against their own interests, of course.

Agreed on all points, but especially #1. Fuck Nestle. Every time I buy a new product at the grocery store, I check to make sure they’re not made by Nestle or a subsidiarity of Nestle.

If the house flips, though, then the Epstein investigation along with other things can proceed, and the House can block bills before they go to the senate or president. So while it won’t fix anything outright, it can stop more damage.

Everyone who eats and drinks chemicals will eventually die!

You should always leave your phone at home for that kind of thing. The same goes for protests.

Full footage of the second video in the post, raw footage (not a camera recording of a screen, this one has sound, very intense), crash around 28s: https://files.catbox.moe/vnyrqj.mp4

Crazy video of it here at around 28s, super close and with sound (warning, is very intense): https://files.catbox.moe/vnyrqj.mp4

If you’re talking about AWS, AWS does much more than just cloud storage.

Not OP but I personally use Blu-ray M-DISCs (advertised as having multi-hundred year lifespans, they get data physically etched into them) for cold storage.

I prefer my PC off when I’m not using it, that way it’s encrypted.

The AI we’ve had for over 20 years is not an LLM. LLMs are a different beast. This is why I hate the “AI” generalization. Yes, there are useful AI tools. But that doesn’t mean that LLMs are automatically always useful. And right now, I’m less concerned about the obvious hallucination that LLMs constantly do, and more concerned about the hype cycle that is causing a bubble. This bubble will wipe out savings, retirement, and make people starve. That’s not to mention the people currently, right now, being glazed up by these LLMs and falling to a sort of psychosis.

The execs causing this bubble say a lot of things similar to you (with a lot more insanity, of course). They generalize and lump all of the different, actually very useful tools (such as models used in cancer research) together with LLMs. This is what allows them to equate the very useful, well studied and tested models to LLMs. Basically, because some models and tools have had actual impact, that must mean LLMs are also just as useful, and we should definitely be melting the planet to feed more copyrighted, stolen data into them at any cost.

That usefulness is yet to be proven in any substantial way. Sure, I’ll take that they can be situationally useful for things like making new functions in existing code. They can be moderately useful for helping to get ideas for projects. But they are not useful for finding facts or the truth, and unfortunately, that is what the average person uses it for. They also are no where near able to replace software devs, engineers, accountants, etc, primarily because of how they are built to hallucinate a result that looks statistically correct.

LLMs also will not become AGI, they are not capable of that in any sort of capacity. I know you’re not claiming otherwise, but the execs that say similar things to your last paragraph are claiming that. I want to point out who you’re helping by saying what you’re saying.

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used! I’m gunna use containers even harder!

Absolutely, and I didn’t mean to imply white rice was healthy or anything of the sort, or that you had an extremist take. I just think the lower class in the US has much more to worry about in this regard. You can definitely balance your carb intake, and as long as you’re aware of the amount of carbs you’re consuming and want white rice, I say go for it. You do need carbs to survive, after all, although carbs with fiber are obviously better suited for that.

They’re making their own phone now. It’s not going to die, at least not in that way.
