It is deeply reprehensible that **Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are repeatedly associated with scandals involving users’ privacy**. This is not merely a technical mistake, but a serious act of irresponsibility when a company with billions of people on its platforms treats personal data as if it were just another commodity.
When a company accumulates so much power and makes so much money, **its responsibility should be even greater, not less**.
By comparing the practice to using a calculator, he showed how they manage to deceive many readers with their knowledge of mathematics and economics
I'm absolutely certain that Africa will be one of the safest places to be when all this happens
Apple’s latest move clearly highlights a shift in priorities: the company has realized it can't afford to burn energy and capital on niche bets while the AI race demands absolute focus.
Adjusting course on the Vision Pro makes complete sense right now. The hardware is impressive, but adoption is slow, and producing in-house immersive content is simply too expensive for the return it generates today. Trimming down there to lean on external partnerships frees up breathing room for what truly matters.
Meanwhile, the shake-up in the Siri team is the most critical piece. The assistant desperately needed a ground-up overhaul. Replacing the old architecture with teams focused on advanced large language models (LLMs) is the only way for *Apple Intelligence* to deliver on its promises and avoid falling behind rivals like OpenAI and Google.
At the end of the day, this isn't about a financial crisis—it's about strategic survival. Apple is pulling chips off long-term projects to go all-in on AI right now.
The part about celebration duration is the real diagnostic tool here — most people try to self-assess by asking "am I a hard worker?" which is useless since both healthy drive and fear-driven drive look identical from the outside. Timing the gap between relief and the next wave of anxiety is a much sharper test, and it's something you can actually notice in real time instead of only in hindsight.
You can’t know that. A construction worker who is charged, released on bond, and has a scheduled job may also be allowed to return to work. The real issue is whether the law was applied equally, not simply that he was able to perform after being released.
I personally understand you. I know that some features here may not be well received by everyone, but I also believe that every site has its own rules, and we have ours.
Unfortunately, I also know that because of some of these rules, many people may stop using the site. It is a shame, but we cannot force anyone to stay somewhere they do not feel comfortable.
Hey, Thanks for the support on my post. I reached out to mozzapp again to make a case for changing his 3 posts in 4 hour rule. Ultimately, It's up to him... I have to imagine that he would want to grow this place, but, I doubt anyone else that stumbles into here will stick around under his current framework. Just being honest...
I totally agree with iSnark—so does that mean if I see five posts that fit the criteria here, I can't post them all? That's annoying, because these are the kinds of things that only make sense to post at a specific time.
Hi iSnark,
Thank you for your contribution. We truly value the contributions of our users, especially from members who are already active on the platform.
This website was created with an educational and informative focus. Our goal is to share content that helps readers learn something new, discover useful information, feel inspired to create or do something, or simply leave the site with an interesting topic to discuss with friends and family.
For this reason, the homepage is designed to give visibility to different types of content. It includes posts that have already received votes and comments, as well as newly published posts that have not yet had the opportunity to receive engagement.
The limit of three posts every four hours was introduced to prevent the homepage from being flooded with many consecutive posts from a single user. This gives other contributors a fair opportunity to have their content appear on the homepage and encourages a more diverse range of voices and topics.
Our goal is not simply to build a platform with a large number of registered users. We would rather have an active community of participants who consistently contribute relevant, useful, and valuable content for everyone who visits the site.
Thank you again for being part of the community.
The CEO's statement offering "sincere apologies" and claiming they "enhanced protocols" is downright offensive to the family. A woman walked into the hospital for a simple knee surgery and now has no feeling from her chest down because of an absurd inventory and administration blunder. This isn't bad luck or a fluke; it's pure, unadulterated negligence. Everyone in that chain of errors—along with the management that allowed such sloppy procedures—needs to be held accountable in court, because an apology won't give anyone their mobility back.
It's impressive how the team at Indie Gamer Chick managed to capture Eternal Darkness's weird essence without falling into the trap of blind nostalgia. Everyone remembers it as that cult GameCube masterpiece that redefined the horror genre, but when you actually sit down to play it today, reality hits a bit differently. The review really nails it by pointing out that the plot feels like a pretty shallow Lovecraft fanfic, but dividing the story into twelve chapters across different eras with completely distinct characters is still a brilliant concept that few games have dared to copy since.
The color system and the sanity meter show the exact paradox of the game. While it has genuinely clever ideas that were legit terrifying back in the day, having to replay almost the exact same game three times just to see all the variations turns into a massive test of patience. It’s the kind of classic that deserves respect for being a pioneer and for having the guts to take risks, but it aged with so many baggage items from the N64-to-GameCube transition that it's hard to defend as a perfect experience today.
Incredible how much flexibility there is in the legal system when the criminal is NOT white, and has access to legal, but questionable funds... Would you imagine that if BigXthaPlug were a construction worker, that he would be allowed to go finish the framing of a house he was working on?
It is indeed a government sponsored race to the bottom!
>does it just expose a massive failure in how borders are being managed?
In my view, it exposes the incompetence of the UK government and governments like them, including the US government. Would it be prudent for a father of five teenage daughters to invite a work friend, who is a known pedophile and rapist to spend the night at his home?
Possibly true, but the reality is that not applying to used cars is a loop-hole, and modern-day government is really good at sniffing out loopholes and closing gaps... This is nothing more than an expansion of the Right-To-Repair argument...
But does that apply to all cars? I think it's just the newer models.
The Home Office booklet in the UK has sparked quite a debate, dividing opinions pretty clearly.
On one hand, supporters say it's necessary to be direct: set clear rules right upon arrival regarding consent, equality, and local laws to avoid 'cultural clash' or ignorance of the country's rules.
On the other hand, critics find it absurd to have to state the obvious. From their perspective, needing a handout to warn that rape or child abuse is a crime only goes to show that the screening system has failed, arguing that there should be tighter border controls and deportations instead of educational leaflets.
Does this kind of guide actually help prevent crime and integrate people, or does it just expose a massive failure in how borders are being managed?
It's true! Many good things have been lost over time, and it's all because of the implementation of certain policies.
She looks great for 117!
Very cool! Wish they still taught this in high schools now like they did back in the day!
One thing that got left out and I think deserves a line: before the AMS RMX16 there was the EMT 250, from 1976, which was actually the first serious commercial digital reverb. The RMX16 got famous because of the "Nonlin" preset, but the idea of digital reverb had been floating around for years before that, it just cost a fortune and almost nobody had access to it.
Also think the Simmons pads got skipped, the SDS-5 especially, those colorful octagon-shaped pads you saw at every concert and music video from the era. Sonically they're not as defining as the Linn or the 808, but visually they basically *were* the "'80s electronic drums" aesthetic as much as the sound itself. Worth at least a mention, if only because that's the kind of detail that pulls in clicks from people searching for the look, not just the sound.
Sony and Microsoft are completely out of touch with this push to force thousand-dollar consoles onto the market. Honestly, this obsession with pushing photorealistic graphics should've ended a long time ago.
The cost of chips went through the roof because of the AI craze, and now they want to dump that burden straight onto gamers—even though the visual difference between generations these days is minimal. Nintendo proved years ago that what actually keeps people around is good ideas and reasonable prices, not having a supercomputer in your living room. If they keep down this road, they're going to turn consoles into a niche luxury product and drive everyone else straight to PC or mobile.
Hi @toggle, welcome to the site. I hope you’ll continue to contribute posts like this one.
I also want to say that I thought your post was incredible, but at the same time, it really resonated with the unemployment situation you’re facing. I strongly believe you’ll get through this soon because I sensed a lot of determination in your words, and that determination will help you succeed.
You can also leave a link to your resume here in your bio and share your story on Hacker News—since the community there is larger, you might find someone or even a company that can help you. I hope with all my heart that you find something quickly and that you come back here to tell us about it.
Honestly it makes total sense. Even Canonical thinks most of their users will end up on WSL, mostly because of devs and AI folks who are forced to use company-issued Windows laptops but still need a proper Linux setup to get work done without dealing with slow VMs or annoying dual-boots.
Ubuntu became the default because back in 2004 those guys actually made Linux usable for regular people. The installer is simple, you don't have to compile drivers by hand, and it just works out of the box. Plus it turned into the industry standard—if you search any issue on Google you'll find the exact `apt-get` command ready to copy-paste, not to mention the NVIDIA driver support and integration with cloud stuff like Docker and AWS is insane.
At the end of the day, APT and LTS releases give you rock-solid stability without the mess of scattered .exe files you get on Windows, and you aren't locked into Apple's expensive hardware or stuck with bloatware and start menu ads. Running it inside WSL pretty much combines Ubuntu's dev-friendly environment with Windows' software and gaming compatibility, so you really get the best of both worlds.
It’s a powerful reminder to check in on the people we care about, even when they seem to have it all together. You never really know what someone is going through.
Without assuming a cause of death, this serves as a reminder to always stay attentive to our loved ones. Mental illness isn't always visible from the outside.
honestly the next pokemon go community day on the 16th is nickit. nothing too crazy for pvp from the looks of it, but niantic added those special background things and the new shiny so people are gonna go after it anyway.
thievul gets icy wind if you evolve it by 9pm on event day, but you can't get it with a tm later. classic niantic pressuring everyone to get outside at the exact same time.
oh and there's the usual stuff too, triple stardust, lures and incense lasting longer, plus some campfire app integration to find local meetups. if you play it's probably worth logging on even if it's just to grab some candy or shiny hunt.
honestly removing location metadata from your photos doesn't really protect you anymore. McAfee put out a study showing AI can guess where a photo was taken around 87% to 91% of the time just by looking at what's in the background. things like road signs, the style of the buildings, plants, or even just a specific type of wall outlet are enough for a model to pin you down.
from an OSINT and security perspective this makes target profiling ridiculously fast. instead of someone spending hours manually geolocating a spot like a GeoGuessr player, an automated script can scrape an entire instagram feed in seconds and build a map of everywhere you go.
the scary part is how well this feeds into spear phishing. if an attacker knows you just posted from a specific hotel or city, sending a fake alert about a issue with your room booking or a credit card flag hits way harder because the context matches where you actually are.
probably the easiest fix is just not posting travel stuff in real time. wait till you get back home before uploading, or at least double check what's sitting in the background of your shots before you hit post.
very good
