The scale of what you just described is really goofy.
It’s also a very delicate shield against a very serious problem.
I don’t think it’s feasible to protect a mars-diameter disc of massive magnets from damage by either normal objects traveling through the area or from some human engineered attack.
If you’re imagining the capacity to create such an emplacement, don’t you imagine that such phenomenal effort and wealth of resources would be better spent solving some terrestrial problem?
There’s a real difference between e-waste, which is mostly byproducts of the petroleum refining process with electronic components smeared liberally on, many of which rely on petroleum byproducts themselves and electromagnets, which are, at the scale you’re discussing, massive chunks of metals refined, shaped and organized into configurations that will create magnetic fields when dc is present.
I have a hard time imagining a level of focus required to bridge that gap.
retributive justice doesn’t work.
one of the main reasons people try to treat minors differently than adults is because they recognize that retributive justice is literally giving up on the person and doing the easiest thing for society to deal with them.
especially in cases that involve minors there’s a push for restorative, transformational and participatory justice models because they don’t give up and fall back on treating the person like an animal.
I guess a person could claim mdm is spyware, but by extension group policy and maybe even selinux would fall in the same category.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the distinction is made in comparison to actual software separate from the os that is being used to keep tabs on the device location and gate access to hardware. Possibly one of the most literal types of spyware I’ve ever seen.
We should also recognize that Samsung isn’t shipping fully open stock roms and the open or closed source nature of software coming from a company headquartered in an ally’s territory doesn’t matter near as much as their military presence on rok soil.
Their security concern is that iPhones won’t let a third party app take control of phone capabilities at a very low level. They want to use an in-house app to stop people from recording audio or video based I assume from the article on geofencing.
The way you’d do that with iPhones is most likely through mdm.
It’s not that iPhones aren’t secure, it’s that the rok military can’t control them with its spyware.
Reading between the lines, it’s not like no one knows that. It’s a good opportunity to gently suggest people working in high security positions (who make higher grade salaries on average!) ditch their iPhones for Samsung models. No need to run a mdm shop and you juice a national company.
SEOUL - South Korea’s military is considering a comprehensive ban on iPhones in military buildings due to increasing concerns about possible leaks of sensitive information through voice recordings, according to multiple sources on April 23.
The sources, a group of ranking officers who wished to speak on condition of anonymity, said that the Air Force headquarters released an internal announcement on the military’s intranet server on April 11, instructing a complete prohibition on any device capable of voice recording and which does not permit third-party apps to control inherent functions, effective June 1, with iPhones cited as items subject to the ban.
According to the document, the decision to ban iPhones in the military came from joint meetings held by the headquarters of the army, navy and air force, located at Gyeryongdae in South Chungcheong province.
The document was quoted as stating: “It’s inevitable to block any kind of voice recording, not just formal communications including meetings, office conversations, business announcements and complaints from and consultations with the public, but also informal communications such as private phone calls (within military buildings).”
According to the document, “there has been an ongoing review regarding the potential extension of this ban to all subordinate units”, with the army headquarters having conducted a trial of the ban since April. If the ban is extended, it will likely go beyond the Gyeryongdae area to include all other units across the nation.
The devices set to be prohibited include all types of smartwatches and wearable devices as well.
Currently, about 10,000 personnel, including some 6,000 officers, are estimated to be on duty at the Gyeryongdae defence centre alone. For security reasons, the exact number is not disclosed to the public.
The specific type of security threat they’re talking about is the threat of “our in-house software can’t control iphones”.
I may be misremembering, but under ios I think that goal is accomplished with mdm instead of an app?
Yeah, they don’t protect you from shorted cables or dirty controls either.
The person you were replying to was saying that contrary to what the person they were replying to said, in ear headphones can have reproduction quality that merits being a “codec snob”, not that we shouldn’t care about wireless versus wired.
They even say that they don’t use wireless headphones.
this is just the screen and digitizer. you gotta heat up and remove the old screen from the existing frame and glue the new screen in.
how to remove the old screen for this one
this is a screen, digitizer and assembly. you don’t have to use heat to remove the old screen or glue to install the new one but there’s more bolts to remove.
I mean, nioh 2 has a whole tree of magic abilities and a whole tree of ninja abilities. All the weapon types have abilities you can unlock that force enemy movement, parry, make you move etc.
It’s about as far into character action that a souls like game can get before it becomes something else. It kinda already feels like something else with all the mechanics and numbers and stuff pushed out in your face.
Are you looking for something more like bayonetta or god hand?
Thats why they’ll be a good deal.
The hardware is the same as several other brands, and none of them have come up bad. Ultimately it really does look like someone either got got on the image they cloned from or maliciously inserted windows spyware into it. Either way it’s nothing a flatten and reinstall won’t fix.
Hell, if the windows keys are legit you don’t even need to use the oem reinstall media.
Network time was an attack vector against windows recently. It’s real easy to just not guess what time it is based on devices around you though and knowing what time it is helps you figure out what’s going on.
The real ask isn’t an rtc chip, it’s the battery socket and battery. Theres rtcs baked into all kinds of chips now, they just need something to keep em ticking.
It’s not engaging in online click baity outrage to recognize that the company developing the brain sepsis device in order to send ads into our dreams and monetize our ids is especially evil.
People are not seeing the usual animal cruelty victims in the primates described, but the environmental storytelling beats of every day after tomorrow video game, the foreshadowing of what will haunt the protagonist in a William Gibson novel and the inevitable end to every post apocalyptic television shows exploration of the question “did science go too far”.
The person enraged with a company developing the Bash Your Head Against the Floor implant is rarely provoked to ire because of their love of the animal subject of testing but because they are forced to ask the question “why?”
Even if people can’t explain it they know full well that this technology is intended to be used as mass media, radio, television and the internet before it.
We do not see ourselves in the monkey because we believe the monkey has the same rights as us, but because we know the monkey is only holding our seat until the train is ready to leave the station.
It’s evil. We don’t need nuanced discussion about it. No one is getting click baited into a rage. Rage and revulsion are the natural response to evil.
There’s not much to debate or understand. Anyone can look at a primate suffering and see the wrongness there. People need years of education and training to the contrary in order to reach the opposite conclusion.
I find it illuminating that you opened up with “oh gee, what purity test” and ended with “if you eat meat you have no standing to care about animal rights”.
Instead of convoluting the discussion, why not come right out and say what you want to clearly and plainly?
The e series and non-yoga L13s after 2019 (no surprise there), the t-series is available with partial soldered ram and a bunch of other stuff after 2013 (O.O) and only has a few configurations without soldered parts after 2020. Even the p series has partial soldered skus and one fully soldered one.
Oh yeah and all that is true for cpus as well. I didn’t feel like deciphering the two incredibly close colors they use on that chart for “socketed” and “soldered” so I’m not making specific claims but there’s a lot of soldered cpus in the thinkpad line now.
There has been a movement industry wide towards soldered components and Lenovo hasn’t completely committed the thinkpad line to it but they’re absolutely dipping their toes in.
You’re just flat out wrong on this.
There’s a Wikipedia article for each series of thinkpad/idea book or whatever and it’s got a color coded chart you can scroll through to see the progression from more user replaceable to less.
Lenovo still has some lines that are modular, but they’re doing what everyone else is.
Because you don’t want to die in a collapse.
The loads you’re designing for in a building intended for commercial use are lower and more uniform than the loads you’re looking at when you wanna slap together something for industrial or residential use.
Office and retail spaces are not designed to bear the heaver load of residential use or the combination of weird flexing, torsion and heavier loads involved in industrial applications.
Those warehouse spaces can be safely converted to lofts by just framing them in. Office buildings need structural changes to become safe living space in addition to all the utility stuff.
Eh, you’re discounting the different development targets that the android and ios ecosystems use. From the jump almost all android developers are shooting for ancient versions of the api because no phone gets more than a few major versions. Ios developers are targeting the latest supported api so from the start it’s the latest thing.
But what’s in that api? It’s hard to develop optimized code for the gpu of android devices because it could be anything. Qualcomm stops sending out blobs after a few versions so there’s a big transition from first party blob bin libs to third party reverse engineered ones. iOS stuff is all just metal 1,2 or 3. So even the five year old phone is getting some level of gpu support. The metal api even has a fallback layer so if you wrote for 3 and the device only has a 2 gpu it’ll split the work and there’ll be some amount of acceleration. It’s like that one version of directx that broke hardware compatibility and had to be patched.
It’s also worth addressing what you said about apple pushing the latest api. It’s true, they do. They also encourage app developers to use the old apis to target security updates at platforms that aren’t getting major versions anymore.
That system is a lot more like Debian stable than some evil empire (although I’ve met ppl who think Debian stable is the evil empire).
Apple isn’t good. They’re out to get money just like everyone else. I think of em like Lexus. The users are pieces of shit, but the cars are prime rib Toyotas which is honestly pretty nice.
How much (metal, refined, produced on earth) wire would you say is required to produce an air (actually vacuum, but we know air core really well so there’s math for them) core electromagnet which can generate a field capable of deflecting solar wind over the area of its pv array? In order to maintain that field strength, how much current is required? Can it be supplied by a pv array equal in area to the effective field area? How many of those are needed to cover the area of mars?
That’s-a lotta metal!
Also speaking as a person who deals with e-waste daily, it’s both by volume and mass composed of petroleum products. Fiberglass is reenforced plastic. Ics are 90% plastic by volume. Discrete components are made of petroleum distillates in a lot of cases and encased in them in even more cases!
Even if you only considered the boards as the e-waste and not the plastic cases and bodies themselves, those dont exist in a vacuum like our hypothetical electromagnets, a reduction in printer boards means fewer printers which are almost completely just plastic.
