My conspiracy theory: those signing keys are very “tasty” maybe Microsoft was aware that some state-sponsored attacker got hold on them and blacklisted for everyone’s safety.

Imagine what would happen if NSA or that other Israeli spy company could sign fake veracrypt or Wireshark binaries

The Windows mobile phones were completely unusable without a stylus. HTC made a third party launcher to alleviate it (maybe only after the launch of the iPhone? I don’t remember), but everything was clearly designed for mouse input

Some touch only dumb phones like the LG Cookie were much better because they put some thought in the UI instead of just putting some lipstick on windows ce

Having experience from a resistive touchscreen smartphone (Sony Ericsson P800), I was exactly like this guy. It wasn’t as bad as pocketpc because at least they put some thought in designing a “touchable” UI and didn’t assume that the user is always using a stylus like on pocketpc, but typing on the keyboard fucking sucked for any word with more than 3 letters.

Then, one day, in an electronics store they had a kiosk with the iPod touch (Apple skipped the iPhone 2g in my country) and I tried it with superiority “let’s see how the typing experience fucking sucks”.

For the first minute I was like a monkey. Unable to type anything. My experience with resistive touchscreens condutioned me to touch the screen with the tip of the nails, so the presses didn’t register.

Then I realized that I could just touch the screen with the finger. My mind was blown. I HAD to buy it, I bought it on the spot, without any research. I even bought a Philips alarm clock with the iPod dock. Spent too much money that day.

And from that day I started to hate Apple with passion. The demo unit had the email client installed so I justified myself “well at least I can read emails on this on WiFi, it’s not only for music and playing the Happy Orange game” but the fucking assholes put that behind a 18 euro DLC. And the assholes even charged for iOS updates! They had the courage to ask me 8 euro to update to iOS 3! The worst part were all the fanboys on the forums defending Apple saying that they were forced by some obscure American law, because being sold a “music listening device” it would have been illegal for them to give free software updates and they HAD to charge the customers. (???)

Xbox gaining high percentage because they sell 100x less units than Sony.

From that famitsu issue:

Hardware Sales (followed by lifetime sales)

Switch 2 – 59,543 (5,011,059)
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 12,141 (1,248,515)
Switch OLED Model – 7,468 (9,526,329)
Switch Lite – 4,807 (6,903,964)
Switch – 4,067 (20,0271,045)
PlayStation 5 Pro – 840 (341,548)
PlayStation 5 – 558 (5,910,474)
Xbox Series X – 525 (325,952)
Xbox Series X Digital Edition – 278 (29,362)
Xbox Series S – 129 (341,622)

So, PS5 digital non pro sold 12k units while the equivalent Xbox digital non pro sold 120 units.

If next month a Japanese retailer does a clearance sale and sells 200 Xboxes the headline isn’t “Xbox got a massive 100% increase in sold units in Japan, while Sony tumbled 2%”

It’s ok because the binance CEO guy purchased a pardon in helping Iran laundering their BTC

It’s tasty

Worry about their seat and not about the war crimes

No bloatware with Chinese manufacturers? Are you dreaming? Oppos, Xiaomi, and all the sub brands of the bbk group (vivo, realme, etc) come with so much bloatware that they are forced to include an aggressive task killer and Memory cleaner to make it work properly

But those flush handles are so pretty…

From the user manual: it is so easy, in case of a fire, just calmly remove all your stuff from the door pocket, then use nails to remove the rubbery mat on the bottom of that, then take out a plastic cover, there’s a cable, pull that cable. So easy and totally intuitive when someone is panicking after an accident! /s

Ps: I wonder what the user manual means with that “if equipped” part. Some models don’t actually have the emergency unlock under the mat?

IMHO if they just give them bibi, then they will reopen it

Pope Francis, after meeting JD Vance, died the day after Easter in 2025.

It would be infinitely funny if someone else, after meeting with JD Vance, would die the day after Easter 2026 too.

Right, I asked the source of those figures (I didn’t give the source in context, it just did a web search) and I got this: https://read.engineerscodex.com/p/diving-into-claude-codes-source-code

I did not fully understand what he meant in the toot so I asked an explanation directly to the source

Surprised it described itself as a war crime and didn’t try to justify that

just the default encoder. I tried it only once and when I saw the FPS I gave up almost immediately

I doubt that it’s doing real time transcoding in av1, probably just sending the file “as-is” to your client device and you’re noticing as modern networks allow real time streaming of files with that size

My server with much newer components does like 5 fps in encoding av1

Alexa, play Despacito

Israel has an exemption, they are allowed to do all the war crimes they want

He actually said that, he said that with his magic tariffs ™ there will be billions available for daycares https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-harris-corporate-taxes-15ba5ecfdf5e907bd9b2c349b07222b8

i realized that the problem with an hosts file is the the system will completely bypass the dns server and directly contact the address. There is the need of something that enforces an IP address blocklist at the router level like opnsense
