@PawelK @mangeurdenuage The best plugin for disabling a camera is adding a physical kill switch. In my former laptops I removed the web cam and speakers.

The Discord issue was even after not allowing it permission. I listen to music in the background and it would cause my audio to malfunction. These were both using a different web browser. Yeah discord is trash and I recommended the University replace it with something more appropriate.

Getting yelled at for suggesting encryption was really frustrating and then I got to meet feds. Dealing with Feds is better than a University.

@PawelK @ThatCrazyDude @0 @sevvie If retaking means cleansing with radiation. They really deserve something for their games between the US and China. I wonder if irradiating equipment would allow for a real competition between the US and China.

It seems that TSMC went too far. The US, China and Germany are supposed to get manufacturing capabilities soon. For older sizes it's still feasible that manufacturing could be done all across Europe. There's really not a reason to trust another country with this.

@ThatCrazyDude @PawelK @0 @sevvie Shenzhen is another likely source for some. Shanghai doesn't seem to have the same manufacturing as Shenzhen but I would happily go to either. Those are essentially the money making areas so they get more freedom. I've heard that it's actually rather nice from people who won't go to the Mainland.

@PawelK @ThatCrazyDude @0 @sevvie With the ESP and Other wireless boards there is a trap inside that requires a little more than simple code dumps. It ends up being multiple IP and even hardware patents.

In dealing with multiple examples I found the solution is already available in the form of an SDR and FPGA.

I probably gave an awful explanation but legal consequences are essentially going to result from any real attempts. They are only open when it suits their best interests.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage I never got to chat with John but Sicko was friendly and interesting. Really cool stuff he posted.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage I saw this around 2019 or 2020 and brought it up somewhere but nothing happened other than mockery. The iphones were the bad about analyzing what was said. Talk about Adidas once and Opa it's time for all the striped apparel we needed.

The ads were on an Xbox One using a different network. Yes this is why the FBI thought the Pinephone was cool but not as effective as a drawer with special properties.

This is called a bug when it's really a feature that has a lot of financial incentive to not truly fix. It being an Apple product just makes it hilarious.

@PawelK @mangeurdenuage Regarding the video, I had that issue with Discord that I had to use it in University.

@PawelK @sickcodes I missed the joke for an embarrassingly long time.

@trinsec It depends on how severe it is. Modafinil has an odd effect that allegedly makes sleep more efficient but I'm not sure that it's completely true. A stimulant like amphetamine is outclassed except for Traumatic Brain Injuries. Amphetamine is linked to better outcomes for Traumatic Brain Injuries which is incredible if it can be used.

Sleep still mocks humanity. Partial sleep would barely be good enough for the brain. The muscles and body would suffer. So it's going to be an unfathomable amount of drugs for mediocre performance or just sleeping.

Not sleeping for over 2 days is highly questionable. At 24 hours there's an excessive amount of dopamine released that has been researched for depression treatment. This is essentially all that can be gained. The physical fatigue becomes apparent rather quickly, caloric intake is absurd and hypertrophy is going to be difficult.

@lupyuen I do believe Loongsoon is part of China 2025. They should be able to do better than VIA did when they made notebooks for students.

I do have a critique of China's approach and it is almost entirely down to the instruction sets used. Without a proper standard, they are going to have many problems getting software working properly.

There really should be a cure for sleep.

I'm watching LA vs Austin and the properties of water are the best part. Soccer in the US, water is cool.

@mike805 @lmrocha @freemo Dying in one's youth to a machine that can peacefully agree to stop using their favorites in exchange for not stopping what caused them to be used. They essentially agreed to have another war but a humane war. Those were the terms for fighting in the future.

Perhaps they could have done something better.

@lmrocha @mike805 @freemo This isn't a perfect world. The fear goes away when there is no action. Everyone is different.

From Duck and Cover to now, there hasn't been a time where all children could feel safe. I remember the Anthrax, SARS and a forgotten scare The West Nile Virus. I was poking the dead birds with a stick as it occurred to me that with all of them around and some dying where I could see. Oh yeah it's here and I might die but that's not going to be caused by poking a fully dead bird with a stick.

I believe that the bird was a Robin. It was a beautiful bird with magnificent wings. I put the stick down, washed my hands and went with my friends to play football. After 9/11 and the Anthrax letters, it seems that everyone had adjusted. There were a few bomb threats at the school and evacuations.

Children are incredibly capable of adapting to many environments where adults might not make it. I only included the Robin because I could appreciate the beauty of the bird. We avoided the dead birds when we were playing football. That's the world we lived in and the news did what it always does. A child won't be kept down by fear. Abuse of various kinds will but only so much. They aren't unaffected but they will be okay. They might not react to graphic images because those are just dreams. They might die a painful death in their dreams and wake up alive.

The last one leads to some confusing times. It might require a shower and a moment to get fully back into reality. They will learn to not be afraid but it could take time. School shootings are not what they are sensationalized to be. There can be worse things and those will never leave the mind. It would be nice for kids to be safe but political parties still exist and accusations go ignored.

@freemo @lmrocha @mike805 People of different colors can hold this power and that is what truly has made many laws pass. The laws that take away freedoms are almost exclusively targeting undesirables and the poor. When one can live behind a gate with private security goons, they make these laws.

The 80s and 90s were the rise of the disco drug but not in the salt form. People with certain skin tones might have been more likely to use this drug. As with armored vehicles that hold currency, the currency generated by this trade has to be protected too.

Racism, hate and fear were the basis of these laws and it's not difficult to see that while they were allegedly to protect these people, arrests tell a better story. This is the equivalent of The White Man's Burden. A life sentence for possession and slavery were the respective solutions by those in power. Every new administration washes their hands while the people they rule don't need to be brainwashed. A nation divided by parties and full of hate doesn't need the CIA to change them. They will do horrible things.

Children see adults as models. How can we be so surprised when they follow our footsteps? Government needs to control us more as we are incapable of doing so ourselves? No, we need to change as a society to address our problems and much of that would need to begin with our own shortcomings.

@lmrocha @mike805 @freemo There were fully automatic weapons a century ago. The Thomson SMG and the first version of the BAR were in existence. The latter wasn't used in the first World War due to fears of it falling into German hands.

There were international conventions that came together to make rules about how people can be killed and how war can be waged. Apparently anything other than a full metal jacket bullet was outlawed. So there's something odd about this. Countries agreed to not use certain rounds but not killing people was out of the question.

Numerous governments from around the world signed an agreement that made using prohibited ammunition a crime but killing another human being was morally right with a full metal jacket round.

We have defeated Small Pox, Polio and Syphilis among other diseases. There is so much good that is done but people don't seek these positive things out as the morbid fascination with death and destruction generates more money and furthers political goals.

@thor I'm sure there's a hidden message in the film from that.

I finally got a new skateboard and put it all together. Like despite the rough patch in my life I feel happy.
