If it could actually detect the items in your fridge and show you recipes for it that would be pretty cool. Also spoilage detection would be nice. Otherwise, kinda meh.

it allows the government and corporations to treat you like the goycattle that you are. By knowing your consumption habbits, they can plan fake shortages and supply disruptions around your schedule so the trusted partners buying the data can do personalized price spiking around your eatting and shopping habits.

The ai can also train you to dispose of completely edible food so you will be encouraged to buy new ones. instead of using that old sauce bottle thats been in there for a year but is still good, it will warn you with vague threats about food spoilage that your 95% salt basedsauce needs to be replaced with a new freshly made bottle from the store because its best by date was yesterday.
>>
>>107565652
People know the food in their fridge is spoiled they don't need to be told, they aren't keeping rotting food because they think they can still eat it, they are just too lazy to take it out and throw it away and they don't need a machine telling them to do it, just another modern annoyance.

The idea of a fridge showing you what you can cook based on what's inside sounds neat, too bad most people here, including myself will have some mustard, mayo and old carton of eggs

Does every option for e-ink devices just suck in a different way?

Kindle is an Amazon walled garden. Kobo and Remarkable e-readers don't have microSD slots and aren't even Android based. The devices that are Android are usually based on Android 13 and probably never going to be upgraded further. Older Onyx devices apparently used passive EMR stylus but recent devices don't. A PocketBook e-reader tries to sell you an "active stylus" powered by a AAA battery but doesn't even mention if it's AES or USI or some tech that's just incompatible with everything else, so it's unclear what cheaper third party styluses would be compatible.

Am I stupid or is there no decent choice that supports an off the shelf passive EMR stylus, a recent Android version, and a simple B&W screen?

Look anon, this is very simple.

I was banned for a week for what I am about to say, I don't know who you are, but you seem like a top bloke, so I am going to say it again and I don't give a fuck if I get a ban again.

Venezuela has a nautic drones, the RAMMAXX series. All Venezuela has to do is to put the embedded system of the RAMMAXXES into a couple of speedboats and they can send it in direction to the SOUTHCOM assets stationated into the caribbean sea and play war with the 22th. They can play arms race with USA if they are smart enough, nobody dies everybody wins.

The problem with this is that Venezuela is in a bad shape right now. Venezuela is not Singapour. All the talent left is trying to reconstruct their lives in neighbor countries, and they cannot even try to return because the Regime is arresting them for trying to come back (they are labeled as traitors by the Regime).

The best thing for everyone is a transtition to a democratic system, but the Regime is too compromised with Rusia, China, Irán and probably Turkey. It's like a zombie that spreads crime all over the region.

I know if Maduro falls Israel get a point in the board, but the disease has spread way too much and innocent people should not pay the price for that.

I want that shit to stop. Is that simple, but the people in charge is stubborn as fuck.

Under federal law, it seems you can buy it with cash and no KYC for small amounts. It's about the same limit as getting a money order with no ID. Money transmitters aren't required to KYC people for such small amounts.

Of course many 'bitcoin ATMs' that let you insert cash to buy crypto are much more restrictive than the law strictly requires. Probably because it'll sound good if a court case ever comes up. 'Your honor, our policy goes above and beyond the requirements set by Congress/regulations,' etc etc.

Never mind that buying and selling something is not 'money transmission,' but nobody wants to have to prove that in court at great expense.

t. former BTM operator

>the enforcement for FinCEN flew in their leading expert and told us that a company that sends or sells bitcoin in any way or for any reason is a money transmitter.

>We disagreed then, and do now. They define a Bitcoin transaction as "sending a substitute for real currency to and through many places (all nodes) to arrive at the receivers wallet."
>They are wrong primarily because a Bitcoin tx does not contain any BTC. It's a request form that nodes document and miners approve, then nodes allocate BTC without moving units.

>bitcoin never moves location, any change in ownership is not an effect of transport where a third party is in possession.

Apple blocks dev from all accounts after he tries to redeem bad gift card

>Apple has blocked a long-time developer from his Apple ID after he failed to redeem what support suggested was a dodgy $500 gift card, leaving him unable to work, cut off from personal files, and barred from what he calls his "core digital identity."

>This isn't just any developer, either: The unlucky Apple aficionado in this case is Dr. Paris Buttfield-Addison, a Tasmania-based computer scientist who co-founded an award-winning game development company and has written multiple books on developing for Objective-C, the Swift programming language, and iOS.

>"I have effectively been an evangelist for this company's technology for my entire professional life," Buttfield-Addison said in a blog post detailing his struggle with Apple's account system.

>According to Buttfield-Addison, his account was flagged as "closed in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions" recently. The only thing he can link the issue to is his recent purchase and attempt to redeem a $500 Apple gift card to use to pay for his 6TB iCloud+ storage plan, which he said failed when he attempted to activate it.

>Buttfield-Addison contacted the retailer, an unnamed "major brick-and-mortar retailer," which reissued the code after suggesting it may have been compromised. Shortly after that, he was locked out of his account.

>The Apple developer said that he's been signed out of iMessage, can't access his iCloud account, is unable to access terabytes' worth of family photos stored on Apple servers, and has basically been blackballed from the Apple ecosystem.

>"My iPhone, iPad, Watch, and Macs cannot sync, update, or function properly," Buttfield-Addison said. "I have lost access to thousands of dollars in purchased software and media."

US moves to bar CHIPS Act recipients from purchasing Chinese chipmaking equipment for 10 years in November.
US also tighten their export control, causing CXMT expansion to cut short.
Both CXMT and YMTC might be fully banned soon, they are still allowed to work with other companies and supply their memory for chinese market for now, this could soon change.

The best and brightest C programmers agree: Rust belongs in the Linux kernel!
https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/
This board tries it's best to portray C and Rust as polar opposites, but in the end they serve the same purpose. Good C programmers have always respected Rust programmers and vice versa. Only the fizzbuzzers and jeets want a language war between C and Rust.

Why do they want it? Because if you split the systems language ecosystem, there will be less competition to their electron/react garbage (see Windows 11 start menu)
Everyone except Indians agrees that anything written in Rust or C is much better than electron garbage. That is why it is important to be friends and allies, not enemies
