When you put out photos of yourself on the internet you should expect anyone to find them and do whatever they want to them. If you aren't expecting that, then you aren't educated enough on how internet works and that's what we should be working on. Social media is really bad for privacy and many people are not aware of it.

Now if someone took a picture of you and then edited it without your consent, that is a different action and it's a lot more serious offense.

Either way, deepfakes are just an evolution of something that already existed before and isn't going away anytime soon.

5th one just flushed the toilet

Unfortunately, as much as I like and use firefox on both pc and mobile, chrome and chromium based browsers dominate the market. It doesn't help that they come pre-installed in both cases.

What about the back of your tv? Or friend's PC? Or library computer? Or phone charger? Or... Any other Universal device using the Universal Serial Bus...

You may learn YOUR devices, but you may also have to interact with other devices at times and USB didn't make it easy in the past.

Now, type C is a thing and it helps with plugging it in right the first time, but that one has the HUGE issue with allowing any protocol since USB 1.0 and everyrhing else is optional. So even though you can plug a type C monitor into a type C microphone, nothing will happen, so it's not stupid proof anymore.

Not talking about my ports. Also ports can be installed the wrong way by the manufacturer. I had a pc case that the front usb ports upside down. But again, usb ports can be installed vertically, in which case it won't matter if you know which is up or down your usb plug, because now it's left or right

That may help in the case of a properly installed usb port, but what if the port is upside down? Or what if it's a vertical port? Is upside left or right?

What about DLCs? And micro-transactions? And lack of optimisations? Base games these days are more like beta versions of what used to be provided in the past... It kinda feels like shrinkflation, price is the same but you get a lot less, both in quality and quantity.

At first yeah, it would be fairly insignificant, but if you ever stood close to these things you know how huge they are... It's not easy to move them around and I don't think we've found much use for the materials they are made of to recycle them. Also we are supposed to reduce these mountains of waste not use them as a justification to waste even more.

But regardless, I am sure one people will realise how much we already fucked the climate as more and more extreme weather events pop around, we'll see more focus on renewables or at least carbon neutral sources. I think the most appealing source atm is nuclear which, although not renewable, it has a fairly small CO2 footprint, tiny size, huge and stable output and there are even reactors that can "burn" their waste to further increase their efficiency.

I wish it was 600 when it came out. In Europe it was 900€ and still is in many places, although it can be found around 800€.

As for features around the same price, for example Samsung s24 offers 7 years of software support compared to 4 at most I guess from Sony and 1 generation newer snapdragon.

But the s24 has several drawbacks for me: shitty bloated software likely with e-fuse blown if u try to root it, larger screen (6.2"), crappy underscreen fingerprint sensor(I love side-mounted capacitive), no jack, no sd.

I guess I will be stuck with the s10e for little while longer.

Kinda pricey when you look at what competition offers in that same range

Windmills are a whole lot better than burning coal, but aren't perfect. Recyling the blades after their 20 year lifespan is a nightmare.
