What's getting yanked is that older phones won't connect to Android Auto enabled vehicles if the phone is running Android Nougat. It must be Running Android Oreo or later.
For those not remembering, Nougat was released in 2016 and went out of support in 2019. By the most recent metric (Dec. 2022) about 4% of all Android devices currently run Nougat. So this will affect all fifteen of the people still running this OS.
Most devices that were originally sold with Nougat have an upgrade path to Oreo. The bigger problem is folks who purchased devices with Marshmallow (orig. 2015) or Lollipop (orig. 2014) who stopped receiving upgrades past Nougat. These are the devices that will most likely be impacted by this change.
Personally, I like to keep my devices for at least five years, so them deprecating 2016 and earlier is okay with me.
I wish there was like a way to just have a 1-to-1 voice conversation with someone on my phone and it be universally supported across all phones.
I'm not sure if you've picked up on the pattern, but it won't end well for anyone either way. People are getting poorer and less secure just plain matter of fact. Retirement age is coming later and later. Healthcare becoming less and less accessible. Late life benefits are at the whim of a bunch of geriatrics in DC who persistently vote to reduce, delay, or completely remove things previous generations enjoyed.
The outcome isn't changing no matter the path anyone of us takes. So you may as well keep kids out of that inevitably.
This ends when we kill these f–kers
And yeah, just for anyone wondering. This is a violation of 18 USC § 875(d). Literally saying that about judges carrying out their duties is an actual violation of Federal law punishable by about a year in prison for first offense. Not to mention that it can be construed as obstruction of justice (if you live within the State), which carries it's own penalties.
That’s what the AI wants you to think!
Yeap, that's all it is plus the PCB and accessories. Looking at it, looks like a 74HC00 - quad NAND gates, 74HC14 - Schmitt trigger inverters, 74HC74 - A dual D flip-flop, and a 74HC153 - dual 4 input mux.
The clock isn't even a 555, just an RC circuit passed through the Schmitt trigger and the provided hardware XOR is where our NANDs come in.
It's a neat little project but I think good CPU lessons need to have a MAR/MDR/CIR and show the fetch, decode, and execute cycle. Because a lot of modern concepts derive from asking the question of "how do I optimize that?"
IDK about Doom but someone is likely already working on a VLC port for it.
Tennessee State General Assembly: I saw a Democrat with a Biden T-shirt set fire to a trash can! It’s totally justified to disqualify Biden!
My State will sadly pull some stupid stunt like this for sure. I get your sentiment but for a lot of us red States our government will absolutely trip over themselves to demonstrate their “hold my beer” skills.
That’s not to say Trump shouldn’t be disqualified, but boy oh boy is it opening a box that looks like no one should open it. I really hope SCOTUS comes back and says something like “it went through three different courts and because of THAT reason we’re up holding it.” Just simply saying “well States should decide” will pretty much mean I’ll never get to vote.
TLDR; Person who created Godwin's law:
Israel's government needs roughly 500mg of chill.
Trump complains about being disqualified.
Also Trump:
I appreciate your commitment to this meme. I don't exactly agree with you, but hilarious nonetheless.
Our system has underpinning it unalienable rights that are enshrined in our Constitution that no law approved by the majority are allowed to remove (Article VI, Section 2 US Constitution). And all States are bound to uphold this aspect of the Constitution in the due course of the Law (14th amendment, Section 1).
So there can be things that the majority support but can never be enforced because the Constitution overrides that as a right granted to all people and is irrevocable in nature without obtaining the bar set forth in amending the US Constitution. That's why fundamental rights are incredibly important, because there does exist times when the majority subjugates some minority and that goes contrary to pretty much the charter of the United States.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
(US Declaration of Independence)
In this they are indicating that by the nature of existence (and in this case they indicate that is endowed to them via a Creator) that there exists things that no Government, no entity, not anything can remove from the people and then give three examples of those things. The second part indicates that it is the charter of Government to secure those rights, to fight things that may seek out to remove them from the people. And that the power that Government gets to do that thing is derived from the people. Because remember, up to this point (minus the French Revolution), Governments had power because "God" said so. In this case, a person has power not because of "God" but because of people. This is a big difference in how Governments get ran now. The one in charge is held to account not by "God" but by the people.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
(US Declaration of Independence)
And this is one of those things that's really shows how well the people who wrote these documents understood mankind. Basically this statement is saying "people don't just overthrow their governments on a whim". But deeper it is saying, people are such that they adjust to suffering and being denied basic human rights because they are comfortable with the suffering they receive. And while this is a good point to overthrow the government, it's also an important highlight that any government wishing to endure, enshrine rights that preempt that suffering.
And there's so much more the people who created this nation had to say about all of this, but it boils down to, there has to be some line in the sand that no matter if 100% of the people support it, we just cannot cross it without a monumental effort to do so. That sometimes, the majority is very wrong and they need something to stop them and have them seriously think about the consequences of what they are asking.
People who say this kind of nonsense about "the majority support them" are the same folks who have zero clues about civics and the nation that they live in.
One. Texas cannot secede from the United States legally. This means that there is only one method for Texas to secede and that is to murder everyone in Washington DC. That's it.
So knowing this, the United States in the event that Texas had thought it seceded from the United States would in turn end the lives of a whole lot of folks who supported this notion of secession. Of course there would be resistance to this whole dying idea from a lot of Texans and that would lead to a lot of US military also dying, not nearly anywhere near the amount of Texans dying, but a non-zero number none-the-less.
That's what a seceding Texas and the United States would have in store for itself. A lot of dead people. And that's the full extent of a Texas leaving the United States would look like. Dead people. Not riches, not freedom, not utopia, just dead people and lots of them. Because there's not a legal manner by which Texas can leave.
Two. So let's say Texas somehow finds out how to leave the United States. They have a pretty strong economy, but running yourself as a wholly independent nation is vastly different than running a State and right out the gate, there's a massive level of doubt that the Texas Legislature could pull off such a feat.
Additionally, the thing that triggered the first civil war would come back. The whole United States telling every nation on the planet Earth that they were not allowed to treat the Confederacy as an independent nation. It's really hard to conduct international trade of any sorts if zero people on the planet accept your currency. Now the TNM think they'll be able to score bilateral deals on their oil products. No one will trade with them at market rates, right out the gate that's the first thing the US will tell everyone. Texas in order to sell would need to sell to nations that weren't friendly to the US and those nations themselves would only do so at greatly reduced market rates. Nowhere near any kind of money for them to be a self sustaining nation.
Because on the International stage, if say Texas was trading with North Korea (for example), NK isn't going to hand Texas enough money (even if they had it, which they do not) to make Texas a threat to NK. That's being dumb. Internationally, you keep beholden nation, beholden. There are zero ways Texas does anything internationally because zero people will recognize their unit of money, which in turn means you cannot move goods outside your nation, which makes it very difficult to be an independent nation. Not to mention that given enough time, the US knows where the refineries are and hitting them with a missile is not some impossible task. That's part of the asymmetry of this whole thought experiment. Shooting one missile is very cheap for the US, rebuilding an entire oil industry complex is very expensive, especially for a nation that will be cut off from most of the metals and material require to rebuild. And even if they rebuilt it after X number of years, it still only requires a single missile to destroy it.
Even if Texas could, which they cannot, leave the US, there are zero benefits for them to do so and they would almost immediately be taken advantage of by foreign powers to a point that whatever economic benefit they have today, would be gone in a matter of years. The state has goodwill on the International stage but only by the virtue of being a US State. Most first world nations wouldn't trade with Texas just in principal and the US government would almost see to it that no nation on the planet traded with them. They do have a very strong domestic economy but it would stagnate easily two to five years in without international trade. Their median wage is just too low and their cost of living too high for them to coast on domestic consumption and production alone. Not to mention they would very likely be fighting a war with the US, which they would very likely be losing very badly.
They do not get to keep any airplane the US military bought and if they tried the US would just bomb it into dust. They don't get to keep airports Federal dollars bought, the US would pit the runways. They don't get to keep any ports facing the gulf, the US would set it on fire from their battleships. They don't get to keep any of it, they have to build it all back themselves, and if they try to keep it, we do the thing the US does best, destroy it completely with the idea that we'll just rebuild it back once we've killed everyone that's needing to die. Anyone who has studied the Reconstruction era already knows this.
But none of this matters because Texas cannot leave the United States, full stop.
That's just the Web at this point. Like IRC has it's bit of toxic, but there aren't Ads, and the niche stuff is fairly good. Gemini and gopher are seeing a pretty healthy resurgence, but clearly there's just dozens of us. Oh and there's always telnet MUDs out there, those are fun every so often.
The Internet is a lot more than just the web. Though the web is mostly the internet at this point. I think the upshot though is all this Fediverse stuff looks really promising. But we ought to support our instances otherwise they'll just start adding ads.
Also as an aside, I'd love for NNTP to make a comeback, but I also understand why it hasn't.
I just read some dumb fucking shit from the Wayfair CEO telling everyone they need to blend their personal and work life together because no one is rewarded for laziness, or some shit.
Bitch! This kid right here is a fucking genius and y'all locking him up for life because his intelligence hurts somebody's bottom line. That's the key take away here. Y'all don't want actually smart and inventive people, you want slaves.
This kid just MacGyvered the shit out of a triple-A game studio and absolute best we could do is lock him up for life? Ridiculous. This whole capitalism shit is a fraud.
