Have all the opinions you want just fucking voice them and don’t downvote shit just because it’s not your preference. Or do I’m not your mum.

Love how you get downvoted for your own personal preference. This place is wild.

Think about Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb. Yes, the research created a weapon of massive destruction, but the same underlying science led to nuclear energy, medical isotopes, and countless other peaceful applications.

Most engineers aren’t working to create harm, they’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The bad uses are real, but they don’t erase all the good that comes from that knowledge. The moral responsibility for how technology is applied sits with those who choose to deploy it, not the nerds building it.

It would be like calling Tim Berners-Lee depraved because of what the internet has done for surveillance and propaganda.

Stairs. Also, pretty sure these can jump.

Gonna need something more than a slingshot.

They feel shame and embarrassment like the rest of us.

Not really. The people who designed these are nerds like us that want to push the boundaries of science. If they don’t do it someone else will.

The people that choose what to apply them too are the ones with poor morals. You could build these things and only sell them to places that use them for monitoring things like they do in dangerous factories these days.

Why is that?

Would you be able to change the IMEI as I would have thought those were encoded on the hardware chip. If you could it means they couldn’t blacklist the phone if you stopped paying.

Paying you can spoof it

Ridiculous? I consider it my civic duty to pay tax. I’m happy paying tax. I just with that those with the broadest shoulders would pay the same % as I do.

Does anybody need to be worth $247B? Is a fucking sickness is what it is. I literally can’t fathom it. I’m 42 give me £500k right now and I quit work and just go enjoy what’s left of my life.

Yeah that genie ain’t going back in the bottle sadly.

Are those figures to end those things for good or just a year?

I agree with the sentiment just curious about the figures.

Yeah I’ve seen those. The mind that thinks up these things aye.

I’d build and use one of these if I could get the explosives to go with it and the address of a CEO.

Damn grey ones did away with most of the nice red ones.

Icl this had me rolling. Gimme 10 monkeys (£50 note) to pay back that monkey you owe (monkey as cockney rhyme for £500).

You telling me you’d shoot a fed? Why don’t you go and do it then.

Diesel went from £1.33/litre to £1.42/litre in less than a week.

What does the app allow you to do. My Mercedes can open and close windows amongst various other things but only if you pay a subscription. 😞

What’s worse is it has a dash cam built in but you have to pay £200 to unlock it. Yet I bought this car used and presumably the previous owner had that as it was specced out, but as it changed hands I’d have to pay. That said I love the car and the quality is great.

Because, sadly, this place has become a left wing version of places like r/conservative and anything that supports our worldview is sadly just upvoted. I’ve come to believe it’s nothing more than a circlejerk now as there is no diversity in opinions.

I’m a software developer for a small company with the two owners being the engineers and they have a Copilot subscription. It saves you countless man hours.

Looking up documentation is very rare now as it’s consumed that much data. It’s not perfect but it’s not we are vibe coding either it’s more like intellisense n steroids. We have lots of practices for how we do things and it learns from that context.

I wouldn’t pay for it for personal use but business use it’s actually great for us.
