I’m pretty sure the only way this is true, is if they qualify their best developers as the developers who use AI the most and by absolutely no metric which would indicate this is actually good code.

Copilot - I see you’re using a random function, would you like to buy this cool shirt whose designer used Math.random() to help make them all unique?

There are newer LFP portable batteries with <10ms UPS switch times that charge quickly and will keep the power on longer. They also have much longer battery life’s (3000+ cycles) , and LFP cells don’t degrade the same when kept at 100% like other types, although you should still cycle them a few times a year.

Bluetti makes some, the elite series has their latest UPS features. The non elite are slower and noisier.

Its all fairly new and have been improving year over year. For example, earlier models may not have switched back on if power was out for a long time and it fully drained the battery. Now some models can turn back on.

Edit: more details.

I’m pretty sure he has the money to have any concert he wants put on for him with the exact lineup he wants.

Might have to add a few extra b’s though to get some hold out artists who would refuse. They would cave though and at worst donate the money if they were that disgusted

What makes you think she isn’t in the files we haven’t seen and was already an accomplice?

Seems plausible enough, PAM - Are you hiding that you’re in the files? I’m just asking questions!

I know I can get it, I just can’t be bothered and don’t want to spend the money.

Ya, macs are definitely more efficient with their ram.

I’ll have Android Studio open for my main work, Intellij Idea for all the backend work, and Xcode when I need to tweak some iPhone things. (edit: usually it’s just 2 of the 3, but sometimes its all 3)

I also mainly use real devices for testing,and opening emulators if all 3 are open can be a problem, and it’s so annoying opening and closing things.

Glad they were able to help sort you out there, that could have been a disaster.

I wish I had a 32gb ram laptop.

I can have 3 development IDEs open at once, and with all the browser tabs open and a few other programs here and there its stretching the limits on my Mac.

Oh man i could just imagine going to replace my birth certificate because its damaged, and when they ask to prove my identity, say it’s not valid because of damage and then deport me on the spot.

I’m a Canadian so I don’t have to put up with this… but I don’t think I could legally prove citizenship on the spot though.

I do have a birth certificate, but it’s damaged, and would be considered invalid. It would cost me money to replace.

I never upgraded downgraded to Win11 so I haven’t seen a lot of this BS.

He updated the microslop site!

Notepad saves on exit now? Wtf.

So now that these names are named, wouldn’t it be easier to sue to government for illegally redacting them as they weren’t legitimate names to be redacted?

It’s harder when you don’t have the names.

Not that anything will happen even if it does… but in a sane world, it would right?

Because it’s not actually about the kids, the kids are just the excuse. That’s all they ever are.

While this might not all be explicit lobby, they are being lobbied, and there’s an exceptional amount of money being put into it in many ways. And if you don’t think millions and millions of dollars are going into things like SPAC’s to support candidates who will support it via side conversations, or other campaign finance tricks around the world then you just don’t know how things work in the US.

Here’s an example of Yoti spending money supporting the Texas laws.

You really think they spend all that time writing this up and they aren’t having side conversations or nudge nudge wink wink deals going on? The US has a supreme court justice Clarence Thomas blatantly taking money from people and nothing happens.

This is a world wide campaign to support it by these companies who built the tools. There’s is an official industry lobby group as well https://avpassociation.com/

Edit: Onfido lobbying again in EU over many years: https://www.lobbyfacts.eu/datacard/onfido?rid=193458043836-76&sid=157476

Edit: This is ID.me lobbying the US government, getting hang of the search (which isn’t great) which is millions of dollars in identify verification lobbying. And just think of how much money is being spent behind the money they legally disclosed. Lots.

He could have tried to top it with a dickslip

A little deportation without due process might be in order as well.

Serhiy Beskrestnov, known by his call sign “Flash,” is the advisor on defense technology to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the same analyst who identified the Starlink connection to the train attack earlier this week.

Beskrestnov’s thread revealed a secondary challenge that is less dramatic but possibly more important for the long-term solution. Ukraine needs to collect complete information on all Starlink terminals in use across the Armed Forces, and soldiers have been reluctant to cooperate.

The problem is straightforward. Many soldiers use volunteer-provided or personally purchased Starlink terminals. These aren’t on any official inventory. Soldiers fear that reporting them to their commanders will result in confiscation, failure to replace them, or other bureaucratic headaches. Beskrestnov was blunt about this, acknowledging that previous attempts to catalog military Starlink use had failed for exactly these reasons.

This matters because any whitelist system only works if you know which terminals belong to friendly forces. Of the estimated 200,000 Starlink terminals operating in Ukraine, fewer than half were procured through official government channels, according to a December 2025 analysis by Militarnyi. The rest exist in a legal gray zone of private purchases, volunteer donations, and foreign sourcing.

Beskrestnov promised to find a way to gather this information that earns soldiers’ trust. He also stressed that SpaceX is directly involved in the process and is actively assisting specialists from the Ministry of Defence.
