Okay Canadian assembly techs: you have an opportunity to do something extremely funny

We really need an open source mobile operating system that isn't controlled by tech megacorps.

Android is far too compromised by corporate profit motives.

• it helps network operators identify tether traffic and prevents it from being hidden by the systems VPN.

• it facilitates vendor pre installed adware, bloat ware, and malware that can't be uninstalled

• it facilitates carrier locking to prevent users from switching carriers

Hello fellow criminals, anyone get up to any good crime lately?

They rip them apart and use the non-serialized components as repair parts. If apple didn't try to overcharge for and restrict repair parts this would be less of a thing.

This doesn't do anything, all these aircraft are already in trusts. You can still track them, the N number/ICAO ID is what people are using

In his circles apparently HGH is viewed, erroneously, as a life extension drug. It wouldn't surprise me for an instant if he was mainlining it out of a fear of dying like a common peasant.

If you absolutely have to hand over your phone, turn it off completely, like hold the power button and then tap the off icon. That will dump any keys out of RAM, which is why it always requires the full password to unlock when you turn it back on. Both in terms of how your phone works and the leaks we've seen, the cracking tools the police have are overall significantly less likely to be successful when used on a phone that's been turned off and not unlocked since.

Also, IIRC iphones have a feature where they will dump at least some of the system keys from RAM if you push the lock button five times. I'd still trust fully off more but that's easier to do covertly.

I'm adjacent to the industry. This is dumb but I understand the reasoning. We're getting left behind in the electronics world. Nobody is creating hardware startups because every few months there's a viral blog post with a "hardware is hard" title on HN and none of the VC assholes want to fund anything but web based surveillance capitalism ad tech because it's a surefire way to make money. Even if you do get funded and you're US based you're absolutely doing all your manufacturing in China if you're remotely consumer facing (b2big-b has different rules). That means Chinese companies get all the benefits of all the labor from your highly trained engineers when they get the design files. If you try to build anything at volume in the US you have strikingly few options for boards and parts. Everything is whole number multiples of fucking PCBway and half the time it's lower quality unless you're paying aero-defense prices which is the only business anyone wants.

This...isn't how the current paradigm of ai works at all. We've built glorified auto-complete bots, not something that can make a physical robot behave at a human level. Best case, they build something that can carry on a conversation long enough to excite a tech journalist and aimlessly meander like the Boston dynamic bots but without the pre-programmed tasking (assuming they don't cheat and add canned routines).

So that leaves one option: it's a moonshot project to convince the tech illiterate public to take them and their stock price to the moon long enough for a few people to make an obscene amount of money.

Yeah, a surprising number of people don't want these hyper complex cars with thousands of microchips and millions of lines of code operating them. Give me an electric 2012 Honda fit/Toyota matrix equivalent that just fucking works and costs $20k or less new.
