Eh, it’s running a whopping 300W power supply. It also seems to be pretty damn tiny.

I’m not seeing how this is any different than getting an ID at the DMV… in fact this may be more secure if you can’t just pull the ID up on a locked phone, which would be an improvement.

Just as an example, 1Password has a secondary encryption key that they can’t even recover. If you lose it, you’re fucked. I doubt the chances of that being cracked are any good at all.

In fairness, that’s another 2 year commitment.

Yknow what, fair.

But that bad content would flow over to the new platform. Just like bots and bad actors exist here on Lemmy, and wether or not you want them to be here they are.

You can’t build for “the good content” and assume the bad won’t follow. And honestly, once you hit a certain scale it is literally impossible to weed out the bad.

“Affordable” is relative. Do we even know what the drives are?

Sounds good in theory but there just isn’t anything that can hold up to the same traffic. Don’t get me wrong, I’d migrate away from YouTube in a heartbeat, but there really isn’t much that compares when it comes to the creators, and the music. All of which are “free” and easy to access with an ad blocker.

And I’m including piracy.

Oof, I’d question how they could even determine that beyond “shouldn’t have worn that fast” but I suppose they know what they’re doing…

Horsepower is a pretty standard way to advertise things in the automotive industry…

So you get another set under the warranty? Maybe even twice?

No, bank you!

The opposite is fucking people over lately too. Pure coding jobs are passing people over because they don’t have literally any degree and it’s insane. 10 years of experience but no degree? Pass. Fresh out of a bootcamp and a bachelors in music? You’re hired!

How would you even enforce this?

I’m pretty sure pi-hole has dns capabilities, as do alternatives like AdGuard home. Depending on your needs, staying with your current setup may be the most desirable option.

Why in the world would this be talking about the USA?

It’s amusing that people assume their data is private just because they don’t think it should be public.

That isn’t to say I don’t think it should be private, but it simply isn’t.

They explicitly said they weren’t there to stop Israel from arresting them iirc.

The names and addresses of people using T-Mobile? I’ve not dug into it, but there are definitely databases out there with phone number => provider, and plenty of databases with phone number => name and address. I assume there are multiple out there than combine them.

Are those lists complete? Absolutely not. But complete enough to send out a bunch of fake warnings to some randos.

This info isn’t difficult to get.
