@AmpBenzScientist the choice is really just between what physical connector you want. v5 are pretty much all the same its just do you want usb a, c, thunderbolt or nfc

@AmpBenzScientist Depends what algo you want to use and what key size... any v5 is your best bet though.

I am watching the new #Disney movie The little mermaid. I am really enjoying how they used factually accurate (And in some cases not very well known) sea creatures. They also put a lot of attention into making their movements more or less accurate as well.

I was particularly excited to see the feather stars.

That said they arent region appropriate, I dont think I recall ever seeing a feather star in the Caribbean. I can let it slide :)

#Ox64 BL808 UART Controller has Leaky Reads and Writes ... But there's a simple fix!

@AmpBenzScientist Yeah, I also remembered the fake moon. That level of modification would cause problems if you try to take a picture to proof something in legal related events.

For casual use, I'd say it's fine to use the default camera app. But taking picture of a bird or something I want no additional processing, hopefully the pro settings will disable the post-processing.

@AmpBenzScientist

Well, if it's a trend, you can't really resist it.

Somehow those manufacturers thought their customers would be happy with the new AI things. Samsung's S24 series is a bit retreat on hardware, but a lot of new things happened on software, but not necessary.

For people I know, most of them are not happy with the s24 series. For example the camera. S23Utlra has an optical 10x zoom lens, but on S24Ultra it changed to 5x zoom, and now you're relying on AI post-processing to get hopefully the same result from optical 10x lens. But if I had 10x zoom lens in the first place, why do I have to fake my picture? (Yeah, I think AI post-processing produces a fake photo.)

When they bundled features together, you have to give up a set of features to avoid one thing.

@AmpBenzScientist

linux will be managed for you, it will be nixos but with all the bells and whistles.

Thanks, samsung.

I literally don't need any of those AI nonsense on my s23+. And my next upgrade will be s23ultra.

And a fun fact: those AI features are free from google, but since China baned google, the AI features are handled by local companies. You need to pay another monthly subscription to use those built-in AI features which should be free outside China.

I mean Jan 6th was bigger. But the difference is Jan 6th was something a bunch of radical people did, watergate is something a president directly did that was illegal.

@AmpBenzScientist

I mean, he may have done some good things, I agree.. but umm... watergate :)

I wonder if a 50BMG SBR exists... I kinda want one just for the absurdity of it.

For what its worth before seeing this post I beleive the typical narrative of Nixon being the bad guy who started the war on drugs too.

What got me was when i was reading this i went "wait a second, they made it sound like he made heroin illegal, coulda swore it was already illegal"... I looked it up and sure enough it was made illegal 44 years earlier.

So then, beleiving my original assumptions must be true I went "Well surely he at least made it more illegal".. so i looked up his exactly policy and read it and read his quotes. To my shock he actually passed laws that specifically reduced criminality, making pocession a misdemeanor for all drugs which used to be a felony.

After that I went and researched the quote and found it to be utterly fake. and well... we arrived at my post :)

> The outcomes I was referring to relate to those delivered by decades of the “war on drugs.” In particular, the narco traffickers and the induced migration of those fleeing the resulting violence not to mention the focus on enforcement and incarceration rather than treatment and prevention.

The war on drugs certainly started with Nixon **indirectly** with the formation of the DEA. Nixon wanted less criminality, but actual enforcement. He thought drug abuse was a true ill to society as far as I could tell, so he did want to eliminate it, but he didnt want everyone to just wind up in jail. He largely wanted to target,it seems, the dealers and producers and leave the users out of it as far as severe punishments go. This was absolutely an improvement from the felony charges people used to get.

The problem is the DEA took on a life of its own, after Nixon it grew, became more pervasive, and the penalties started to increase again.

So one can argue that Nixon started a chain of events that ultimately led to the drug war and its abuse on the people. But when Nixon started it it wasnt like that, and as I said it actually was a lessening of charges.
