What about the climate impact? You didn’t even address that. That’s the worst part of the AI boom, were already way in the red for climate change, and this is going to accelerate the problem rather than slowing or stopping (let alone reversing it)
I don’t fully agree with you. It’s certainly no major coverup but it’s a heap of evidence that goes against this shiny veneer google maintains with the public
Google pretends they are champions of user privacy and protection to maintain trust and enable data collection on an unprecedented scale
When this article shows they are actually leaking private info left right and center, have the most nonchalant attitude towards respecting and maintaining our privacy and evidently ‘keeping private info safe’ (or should I say ‘not being evil’) is at the bottom of their priority list
Sweet! I had no idea they were making a second one, I really enjoy the first game (just wish it had a better system for single player mode outside of just playing ai)
No where in my house, that’s for sure… They’re obviously going to tear the place apart and it’s the most obvious place to look for someone so unless I have some sort of secret hidden space I don’t know about, it’s a no go
Even if there’s a secret hideaway in my house, those agents are gunna station people here to wait and see if I show up, so I wouldn’t be able to leave easily either… I’d be trapped
Mozilla did an investigation into privacy violations of modern cars, turns out there are no cars that respect our privacy, and some go as far as specifying in their privacy policy that the driver agrees to data collection regarding their sex life
Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...
I wouldn’t say I hate them as much as mosquitoes because at least it in the wilderness the ratio of leaf blower dicks goes down (but never zero)
That said, yeah I fucking hate leaf blowers with a furious passion, and they’re everywhere in my city! Regardless of the time, or day, or location in the city, there is at least one leaf blower dick audible!
There are many many ways your being tracked by the apps and service you use
Unfortunately, a vpn is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s a great first step but if you wanted to prevent your exact situation, I think only a phone running graphene OS would protect you in this instance since it isolates play services, among other privacy protecting features
I was referring to my laptop so it’s a bit different from a desktop
However with a desktop usually you have to use the software for your parts to control the fans
For example my GPU is gigabyte so I have to use their app for GPU fan control
My motherboard is MSI so I have to use their software for cpu fan and any case fans I attach to the motherboard
I haven’t looked into it that much so I can’t say for sure but I don’t know of a way to controll all these fans from one place (unless they’re allt he same brand)
Got my copy for free with a GPU purchase, still don’t play it though, it was very blah at first and my poor rig can only hit like 25 fps at minimum settings, I’m still running a GTX 1060
(The GPU purchase was not for me but I was allowed to keep the free copy of the game from it)
I told myself I was going to be quick per model with this mob of genestealers, but I just can’t happy with the dark washed skin. I am going back and making the skin much lighter. Work in progress of the change.
Eventually I want to get some nids going but right now I’m focusing on homebrew space marines and their land raider, after which I have a bunch of necrons to paint shiny chrome…
Mind if I ask what wash you used, which paints/colors and such?
Are you a 'tankie'
I keep seeing this instance is overrun with tankies so hey, lets do an informal survey like I’ve seen on hexbear...

If you were home and had five minutes to hide from foreign agents who were coming to hunt you down, where would you hide?
I've been disconnected from the world for a year. What happened on the internet since then?
One year and 1.5 months to be more precise....
I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.
