Don’t bet on it. Nobody wants 2016 part 2. “ahh it’s fine I don’t need to vote for Harris, she’s got this.” Bull fucking shit! Don’t even encourage that line of thought. These assholes will vote for Dump and “hold their nose” while doing it.

This is the perfect approach. He can’t play it without donating to Harris out of his campaign funds. That will actually make him stop.
They’re also adding a lot more incompatible text formatting and shit to keep Android incomplete with their real chat protocol. Gotta keep those teens bullying Android users. Also E2E encryption would be nice, but the EU didn’t force them to do that.
Still great because MMS is garbage and ruins photo and video quality.
If we’re talking about the neural lace from the Culture Sci-Fi series, hell yeah. It’s all nanotech that could be installed and removed in a non-invasive way. You get a lot more control over your body, enhanced cognition, mental backups so you’re really hard to kill permanently, comms, all the knowledge, VR more real than reality, control a robot as an extension of your body, etc.
They were still vulnerable to remote takeover in extreme and unusual situations. I think an EMP like thing would switch them off.
Realistically would I let somebody put something running binaries written in C and ad supported apps in my head? Not happening.
I wish it would’ve stayed anonymous. Then she’d get all paranoid and alternate her friends.
Ok now we know why their alignment team quit.
The fingerprinting I’m talking about gets encoded in the screen recording too. Subtle pixel changes here or there over the entire length of the video. It’ll be lossy when it’s transcoded, but over the whole video it’s there enough times it won’t matter. Even scaling to lower quality won’t fix it and then it’ll also be lower quality.
It’ll be like DRM, there will be people trying to remove it like anything else. They’ll break one thing and another will come along. There would still be a black market, but most people can get an unrestricted copy in exchange for money so there’s one less reason to pirate.
Unless you’re actually pointing a camera at the screen, then OK, you do you.
They could offer a way to download a copy and steganographically tag it to hell with your id so that they know if you distribute it. You can “loan it out” by letting friends stream off your Plex or whatever. If you start selling that streaming service or it shows up in torrents, it has your ID on it.
Boom, you own it forever and you’re incentivized not to over share.
Or you know sell DRM free versions and let people do whatever, but that probably has a snowballs chance in hell.
I got curious. It’s at least partially the government regulation thing. They’ve been working on standards that get inforced soon around data privacy and updates to software. So they can roll their own Chinese version of the software with in-country servers, privacy compliance, surveillance compliance, etc. or pay Baidu/Tencent.

This coincides with Kia/Hyundai announcing the same thing. Either they need Baidu tech to compete with BYD in the Chinese market because it’s just that good or locally desirable. Or the countries regulators require it. Given they all announced this at the auto show at the same time, seems too coordinated for competing car companies.
Wow that’s literally the whole article in the headline.
Exactly. They really sealed the deal when they sent a push message to get people to call Congress and stop the ban. https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/7/24093308/tiktok-congress-ban-push-notification
“TikTok can be used to influence our citizens politically” * TikTok proves it true immediately on a personal level for legislators * “See!”
Couldn’t have found a better way to put gas on that fire. You’re supposed to bribe lobby when they start talking shit.
Exactly BYD is their biggest problem. Also they can’t claim higher build quality so you’d really pay more for just the brand.
“In an October 2023 analysis for Congress, the Defense Department reported it was “likely” that China has considered locating a “military logistics” facility in Equatorial Guinea. Earlier this month, Gen. Michael Langley, the current AFRICOM commander, warned the Senate Armed Services Committee: “China is actively pursuing a naval base on Africa’s Atlantic coast.””
“Equatorial Guinea seems blatant about the fact that they are very much for sale to the highest bidder. They are very happy to be courted by Washington and Beijing because they occupy a strategic spot in the world and sit on a strategic resource and they have the money to allow them an independence that other countries in the region don’t have.”
“bIdEN CoZiEs up tO ThE WoRLds WoRSt DiCtaTor” lol OK. What’s the alternative, let Winnie the Pooh just set up a naval base uncontested? “Liberate” them? That’s in the playbook too, most people don’t enjoy it.
X gon’ give it to ya Fuck waiting for you to get it on your own X gon’ deliver to ya Knock knock, open up the door, it’s real Wit the non-stop, pop pop of stainless steel
Drinking and driving 90MPH.
If you’re an ssshole don’t you come back as an insect or animal? That would mean rich folks would have to do actual good to avoid that. Whatever their policies, after the first few trust fund dung beetles and assorted other multi-lifetime embarrassments, they’d probably snap out of it.
Hey check out the cockroach yacht club guys! Lol, how did that forced birth + soul tracking debt thing work out for you!?
Then like half their debtors would achieve nervana and fuck off to heaven or whatever.
I think the kharma religions, this would take care of itself.
They stole the DNA data of users with recycled passwords. Last I saw this was 14,000 users and I was notified that at least one was transitively related to me. So they didn’t get my DNA, just one or more user’s view of my profile. I got out before a real breach happens and they do privilege escalation or phish an admin or something. Or like OP said go into bankruptcy/acquisition and sell their most valuable asset.
They say that they do, so I’ll be getting a juicy $5 class action check if that was a lie. Most companies that implimented GDPR didn’t do a lot of if eu actually delete
type code. The cost of determining EU citizenship incorrectly is pretty high.
$13B is 7% of Apple’s annual profit in 2022. Not a rounding error. Somebody has to settle for golden yachts instead of platinum next year.
