IMO intell is scrambling to solve a hardware problem with software so they don’t have to do a massive and very, very costly recall.
Until they unequivocally show this not to be the, just hang tight.

I think Smith would hate a lot of what’s going on in modern capitalism, TBH.
Free speech absolutist, though.
Shocking. Absolutely shocking, I say. It’s almost like we’ve seen this exact pattern a hundred times before.
Yeah, the high end 9 series are (were) great. I’m still using my S9+ and just don’t have any good reason to “upgrade”. I don’t intend to get a phone that doesn’t have a headphone jack and memory card slot.
I do kinda miss having a stylus, though, having come from the Note 4 previously.
FOSS apps are generally more secure due to auditability of the source. Many eyes, and all that. Although I’m sure there’s also reduced interest from attackers on smaller platforms.
Also, malware devs would have the additional constraint of having to either open source their malware, which they probably don’t want to do, or sideload their payload, which is more work for them.
They’d have to convert half the building into a ranch to be considered neutral.
From the picture, yes, Google Play is indeed malware. F-Droid is the way.
Hear me out: inbreeding.
Money is kinda important when running a political campaign. Now that the floodgates are open, it’d be shooting yourself in the foot not to use it, even if it’s not the “right thing to do”. Is it somewhat ironic that one needs to accept dark money to have a chance at ending it? Absolutely. But that’s simply the reality of the situation now.
How about we save the cries of “Hypocrite!” until she has the opportunity to end it, yet still doesn’t.
Or shot him as well as 2 bystanders and another cop, and then claimed he had a knife, but that it was subsequently stolen.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
That’s why I use this app to normalize time.
And you can’t out yourself because, in many workplace cultures, the appearance of knowing is more important than actually knowing. :/
Their bones are actually inert. Your bones just want to join their bones doing fuck all all day long. Their bones are doing your bones’ bidding.
I’ve noticed a pattern with this sort of thing, that when people are complicit in systems that they benefit from, they’ll put forward arguments they don’t really believe in because they’re obligated to by their own cognitive dissonance. I was first introduced to a term for this pattern of behavior by PhilosophyTube: a phantasm.
It’s a way of organizing feelings, selective observations and misrepresentations. A way of intepreting the world that also does things to the person using it.
Okay, that’s a bit vague. The video essay goes on to provide some cohesive examples, but if I could try to summarize it:
A phantasm is a self propagating system of incoherent beliefs that a person generates to willingly deceive themselves about their own complicity in systemic oppression of others in order to alleviate cognitive dissonance and maintain the belief that they are a “good” person.
I’ve seen this behavior most notably in alt-right, anti-vax, and conspiracy theorist types, but I’ve also seen it a lot with anti-vegans.
One of the main symptoms of this self deception is to blindly parrot bad arguments that perpetuate their own deception, even when they don’t believe their own arguments are coherent.
I think, sometimes, depending on the severity of the phantasm, this behavior can also be a search for a refutation. Part of them might want to reject the phantasm, and given sufficiently well gounded arguments and/or evidence, some people are capable of rejecting the phantasm.
In any case, I think there’s a lot more going on psychologically than simple willful bad faith. Phantasms are incredibly hard to dislodge when people are emotionally invested in maintaining them, and I don’t have a good answer about the correct approach, or even if there is any sort of generalized right way. It may well be that every single instance requires a unique solution.
That’s honestly an excellent sanity check on the poll. I did take a brief look at the methodology table, and there were some interesting numbers in there:
[Polled respondent reported political affiliation:]
Republican: 1603
Independent: 1544
Democrat: 1720
Other/Don’t know: 485
As an outside observer, whenever I’ve watched US elections, it’s never been obvious that there have been that many independent voters. It did make me wonder if these are mostly strategic voters who shift their allegiance on election day, or if the MSM simply never accurately conveys just how many independent voters there are.

I think either you’re misunderstanding the data, or I am, because it does indeed seem to be 24% of Republicans according to the source:
Most Americans (81%) disagree with the statement, “if Donald Trump is not confirmed as the winner of the 2024 election, he should declare the results invalid and do whatever it takes to assume his rightful place as president,” compared with 14% who agree.
Around one-quarter of Republicans (24%) agree with the statement, compared with 13% of independents and only 5% of Democrats who say the same. Republicans who hold a favorable view of Trump are more likely to agree than Republicans who hold an unfavorable view of him (29% vs. 6%).
If the 24% was the portion of Republicans out of the 14% who agreed, who would the other 76% be?
This might work for consumer markets, but they’ve got b2b partners with deep pockets and expensive lawyers that are not happy. Also, the problem is widespread enough that a class action suit would be a pretty big deal. I don’t think this’ll just blow over.
