In the Netherlands we used to have this, but the rules changed: unsolicited commercial calls are completely prohibited (so you don’t need to register and the registry has been shut down since 2021)

No that’s only for when poor people do it

Same, I loved building my own PC but I also have a Mac mini because Macs just ✨fucking work✨ always

This but non-sarcastically. I have a Mac mini and I don’t think I’ve ever touched the power button (except after plugging in of course, but then you’re already fiddling)

That cilinder Mac Pro was a fever dream but I still love the design

This was exactly the problem in my last environment. I was the second dev and two more were onboarded after me, but everyone had issues replicating the original dev’s local environment in order to deploy.

First thing I did was set up a basic gitops pipeline. Worked like a charm.

brother I don’t think you read the post at all

This really should be the unofficial name of places like lemmy and reddit

You’re either 11 years old, trolling or highly regarded (or all of the above)

Honestly, I think it’s more that people take this info from movies and just run with it than malicious (Russian) misinformation bots (although they don’t mind giving this an extra push I imagine).

There’s a lot of people who seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to this “that’s a war crime!!1!”, but it really is not. Incendiary weapons (like thermite, white phosphorus and napalm) are not illegal to use against legitimate military targets, including enemy combatants. It’s only a war crime when it’s used indiscriminately against civilians or in civilian areas.

Lot of misinformation out there on this it seems.

This doesn’t mean anything. It’s an LLM and it will only give you a valid sounding answer regardless of the truth. “Yes” sounds valid and is probably the one with the most occurrences in the training data.

Stop posting shit like this.

That’s not true. Apple does not have a master key for iPhones. IIRC the FBI wanted Apple to help by providing custom firmware that allowed them to do unlimited attempts on the passcode.

Don’t write code, why do you need a computer to do your math? Just do it on paper ffs.

“Oh sorry we thought is was called the Geneva Checklist”

15 engineers for managing infrastructure?? Are they setting up servers by hand?

I want some of whatever you’re on

I’ve been fairly polite in this thread but I’m tempted to call you stupid. I won’t

That’s a lot of words to just call someone stupid and try to get away with it

The question regarding Bluetooth and plants is the giveaway this is an r/conspiracy-level post, and that you have no idea what you’re talking about lmao.

Did I get it wrong?

Oh boy, yes. This network tracks items specifically built on this protocol. It has nothing to do with “tracking your MAC address”. That’s already done whenever you walk into a train station and goes over WiFi. Which you can disable.

MAC addresses are not unique. If you know the seed for it’s random generation you might be able to track it across WiFi networks that you own, but you’ll already know where the user is since you own the fucking network. This is not a worldwide tracking network that can follow your every move.

If that’s what you’re worried about, I suggest ditching your phone completely. Because the “worldwide tracking network” that already works is called the cellular network, no need to build another one.

Yeah this guy has issues
