Retail stores rarely carry a phone older than two years, as long as they push new phones every year, people will be buying those phones.

OEM's could have like 3 battery types, mass produce these 3 and offer battery replacement for maybe 30 bucks or less? OEM's could have like 3 phone designs and update the internals, making each screen replacement maybe 50 bucks or less? Instead each has unique screen, motherboard, subboard and battery combo. My 10y/o nokia has the same battery as a new one, they cost like 5 bucks each.

Needless to say I love the EU for bringing back user serviceable batteries, that's a great start.

Firstly, this is for creating concrete on mars, where resources are very scarce and making regular concrete is not viable. Secondly, to survive martian conditions, we need to build bases, a lot of very sturdy, structurally sound bases. And lastly, before the potato based concrete, blood was genuinely the most viable solution, being an easily renewable resource. IIRC the martian concrete is now magnitudes better than regular concrete.

Per the book, [former chief of staff] Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president is said to have responded.

Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said "Don't miss Trump next time". JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don't think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source

Yeeaah I drew the line at the printscreens, it was a really interesting video with a lot of effort and research put in, unlike this article.

This is singlehandedly the best piece of satire I have ever seen, I was rolling the entire read, bravo. As a European, this reads like a black mirror episode.

To quote the website: "This should probably be illegal!"

Content and formatting rules are just to keep things on topic. When people mention the bare minimum of moderation, that is literally the bare minimum, and I never said they are struggling with it. They just choose to not remove any inflammatory or borderline content because they want to be that place.

it would be a lot less extreme than 4chan is

I don't really think so, every online fora I've been a part of starts unmoderated, and it works, for years sometimes. But every single time without fail when a platform reaches a critical mass, moderation becomes necessary.

I think putting a digital mask on shows the true nature of people, and moderation is the only way of keeping conversation* civil on the internet.

4chan is what the internet would look like if everything had the bare minimum of moderation. Actually a very interesting case study about the human psyche, and I've had many a interesting conversation on there, especially early internet days.

Is it a shithole? Overall, yes. But the right board at the right time is truly early internet ethos.

"Let's not assume people using this are male"

"This is not a place for politics"

Wh.. wha.. what? Do they not even believe in more than one gender?

Abstract

Spyware makes surveillance simple. The last ten years have seen a global market emerge for ready-made software that lets governments surveil their citizens and foreign adversaries alike and to do so more easily than when such work required tradecraft. The last ten years have also been marked by stark failures to control spyware and its precursors and components. This Article accounts for and critiques these failures, providing a socio-technical history since 2014, particularly focusing on the conversation about trade in zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits. Second, this Article applies lessons from these failures to guide regulatory efforts going forward. While recognizing that controlling this trade is difficult, I argue countries should focus on building and strengthening multilateral coalitions of the willing, rather than on strong-arming existing multilateral institutions into working on the problem. Individually, countries should focus on export controls and other sanctions that target specific bad actors, rather than focusing on restricting particular technologies. Last, I continue to call for transparency as a key part of oversight of domestic governments' use of spyware and related components.

Keywords: cybersecurity, zero-day vulnerabilities, international law, espionage
