I mean, illegal online transactions are like the one place where crypto really shines.

Eh, I would support blocks on that. [Porn]

Okay, so lets build all the infrastructure and technology to block porn in the most effective way possible.

And I pinky winky promise to never use that technology to silence my political opponents.

Just think of the children.

And the thing is, there are open source internet browsers that can be written to avoid any browser checks that a law might require.

However, if Google’s browser DRM gets widely implemented, a browser-side content blocker would be effective, because all those open source browsers would be unable to access the wider web.

I think if Big Brother Browser with Google DRM is our future, we’re going to see people using 2 browsers as standard. They’ll have one “corporate” internet browser, for Instagram, Amazon, whatever. And one “free” browser for all the grey area stuff.

Plex shares (I actually use an Emby share) are what streaming should have been after cable.

It’s the perfect service, everything all in one spot for a reasonable fee.

I’d pay up to $100 a month for that legally, but instead the studios want to bleed me dry.

So they get nothing.

Way differently.

Soldered RAM is much much closer to the CPU, and so the time it takes for signals to propagate back and forth is significantly reduced…

You’re getting heavily downvoted by people who obviously don’t understand how RAM works. Or how computers work?

Guys, Apple is shitty, we all know this, but onboard RAM is the least of their anti-consumer practices.

The problem with socketed RAM is the length of the traces going back to the CPU. That 100% reduces performance (and battery life) by a significant amount. Especially when using that socketed RAM as iGPU VRAM.

Dell’s CAMM standard reduces the latency compared to SODIMM, for socketed RAM, but what we really need is for someone like Apple to invest R&D into really tiny RAM sockets that are super close to the CPU, instead of researching ways to lock users out.

Soldiers were sharing nuclear secrets in flash card apps.

Just because someone has a secret clearance, doesn’t mean they’ve ever been told that the entire Internet is siphoning their data in any way possible.

But Google takes their security super seriously, and the only person they’re sharing our data with is the government.

That’s not a good thing, but if you need a chat app that pretty much everyone already has installed, for non-sensitive conversations, you could do much worse than Google Meet.
