What are you talking about? Modern phones are all just slightly different to be incompatible with what you’re talking about.

My first thought is Cingular Wireless

I see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.

I miss the times when different phones had character. Even phones of the same company looked completely different:

Now it’s just the same rectangle stretched different ways and maybe different color sides.

I like the concept of IR blaster but the one I had was in Samsung Galaxy s6 (or 5 don’t remember) and it came paired with a HORRIBLE app that tried to do its darnest to datamine your viewing habits and it’d do push notifications 5 times per day with just crappy ads. I really hate all the ad spam on Samsung phones back then. Idk if that’s still the case

What was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?

Your own article says it’s VMs. The tpm itself can be bricked. Ok that sucks. Still not persistent like you describe.

No they don’t. Worst case known attacks have resulted in insecure keys being generated. And even if malware could somehow be transferred out of it you wouldn’t have to trash your whole computer - just unplug the TPM

Tpm modules are pretty good. And you can buy them separately like another card. Motherboards usually have a slot for them. They are tiny like usb drives. They essentially are usb derives but for your passwords and keys. You can even configure Firefox to store your passwords in tpm

The only one with math masters getting hired for their knowledge I know was hired by NSA

On one hand - yes Meta followed the legal requirement, but the bigger picture is that people always say “so what it’s just don’t do anything illegal”. But that’s only fine when legality matches morality. And the disparity has been growing lately.

I can’t quite find the blog post but I saw someone do a blog post using AWS' map reduce on multiple servers to process a dataset… and then they redid their pipeline using bash, awk, and maybe grep and a single 8-core machine did it 100 times or so faster.

Edit: found it https://adamdrake.com/command-line-tools-can-be-235x-faster-than-your-hadoop-cluster.html
