The stock got cheaper Thursday morning after his appearance

Hell yeah Gizmodo, go get 'em, we need more of this petty hating.

same, my lifetime license is paying off right about now tbh

agree 100%, I just find what limited joy I can in pointing out that this is likely bullshit and at best a con. I also get a kick out of shitting on Musk for pretending to know what he’s talking about when it comes to tech :)

depending on how badly Starlink fucks up the deployment, this could actually make the performance worse especially if airtime and spectrum are limited which I would assume would be the case. Elon throwing APs every which way isn’t likely to make that any better.

this is like getting a flat tire on your handcart and buying a G Wagon with no wheels to fix it.

this was nothing that some Ethernet and some APs couldn’t fix. and as for the cellular issues, you’re literally the White House. Throw up a femtocell, you already have fiber for backhaul.

this is such fucking nonsense. Starlink is fixing precisely none of this.

I’m barely an engineer but I can guarantee you that anyone with the ability to build a single actual functional server could run stuff better than these clowns. they fucked up so badly that they exposed a open mail relay to the entire fucking NOAA. I’m a dumb removed but that is beyond belief, if I did anything nearly as reckless as that on a corp network I’d be in handcuffs before the top of the hour.

this isn’t just risky - this is begging to be plundered.

this!

it’s the most insane thing that I’ve been on the flip side of this rhetoric coming from that part of the political spectrum as well. when I told my brother I was transitioning (MtF), he freaked out and said I was going to lose muscle mass and all my strength. of course that’s part of what estrogen does, and is kinda the point, but I find it silly that they admit it and simultaneously refuse to admit it.

motherfucker threw the bat in the woodchipper

Windows Bluetooth paired my Google Pixel Buds Pro once and refused to unpair or delete them no matter what I tried, but would happily connect to them every time I booted the system. I had to literally wipe the install clean and start fresh before it was ever fixed. And those same earbuds worked everywhere else, even my fucking gaming laptop with a MediaTek wireless card running Arch. genuinely the worst experience I’ve had with Bluetooth so far.

fucking DoTerra…and Young Living…and Juvva…and LulaRoe…and MonaVie. and Xooma. and- yeah, i think Utah has a bit of a problem. what the fuck?

Axing CISA was such a mask-off move in my mind. of course if you want to tamper with voting and computer systems in the US, why wouldn’t you?

fucking idiots. we didn’t even recover from Salt/Volt Typhoon yet smh

yep, I know this feeling all too well - having a community and friends is important but even more so in cases like ours. Thank you for the comment, I hope you’re doing better nowadays.

I’m probably gonna get clowned for feeding the troll, but - this comment comes off a lot more harsh if you’ve ever experienced not having access to the Internet and a smartphone or computer.

I spent the better part of 16 years of my life with no TV, MP3 player, phone, Internet, or computer - and it has negatively impacted me in immeasurable ways. I couldn’t find work, because I couldn’t apply for jobs but also I didn’t know you could do that on the Internet - I also didn’t know YouTube existed, so I missed out on learning the things I liked, and I didn’t know I was being abused because I had no way of knowing that it wasn’t normal until I got access to help, via the Internet.

I wasn’t in the stone age - if I’d had options to do any of the above without a phone or the Internet, I’d be a different person today. Shut up, mate - not everyone can afford or has the opportunity to own a smartphone and data plan (which are rare and expensive in abusive situations like my past). Making services available in places like libraries and community centers without requiring smartphones and Internet would help so many people who have no ability to use them - those people are just as human as you.

and by the way while we’re at it: if we’re effectively paywalling access to basic human rights behind an IP address and cellular radio, those should be enshrined as human rights too.

same, i’ve been very happy with Caddy, even with lots of subdomains and weird configs it’s been rock solid.

i always found this to be upsetting as an IT tech at a former company - when a network or server had an issue and i was sent to resolve it, it was a “just reboot it” fix, which never kept the problem from recurring and bringing the server down at 07:00 the next Monday.

the limitations on the questions i could ask hurt that SLA more than any network switch’s memory leak ever did, and i felt as if my expertise meant nothing as a result.

i am in cybersecurity and IT. i saw a huge cyber attack on Bluetooth-enabled devices at an event a while back, and it put several people with Bluetooth-enabled insulin pumps in the hospital.

i recently discovered that a good friend of mine has an insulin pump. i am legitimately worried about her safety as a result, and even more so after seeing this.

i also do not like this :D
