They literally ran out of ideas, like, 20 years ago?

They've just been trying to say random-ass shit to justify their marketing budget since then.

Windows basically stopped around 7 and mostly went backwards, and when is the last time you thought about the version of office you use? Do you even use office, or can you get by with google docs?

OneDrive is by far more of a pain in the ass than anything else, nobody ever WANTS to use it, they mostly get hijacked by it early on and try to ignore it like a masturbating hobo on a subway car.

We used to think the world was flat.

We still do, but we used to too.

Because China executes at a rate 100x the US, that we know of, believed to be 1000x.

Also, Tibet and Xinjiang.

2 things:

  1. It's more the determinacy, a GC randomly fires up and your systems stops for some long amount of time. There are pauseless GCs but that's a different nightmare.

  2. The kernel has things similar to GCs. They're used for more specialized tasks, and some (like rcu) are absolute nightmares that have take decades to get working.

Same.

I used the pine book pro for a bit, it was completely viable as a wifi terminal.

But the pinephone is still just more of a cute toy

It doesn't predate the nsa, but the Cia contracted out the work through a Canadian firm iirc.

The nsa doesn't have the mandate for clandestine activities, only reconnaissance.

Tl;Dr you're declaring war on Lebanon.

Then just admit it, this bs dance is childish.

You're either at war with them or the Lebanese are innocent bystanders where you have to minimize collateral damage, can't have it both ways.

that can’t be employed at scale as readily

Well there's your problem right there:

You're concerned we can't scale up arbitrary killings? Would you prefer something on a larger, more industrial scale, perhaps with large, gas-fueled ovens?

Killing should be hard, and it should be personal, not vaguely waving a hand in a general direction. You should know their name and hopefully have filled out a few forms beforehand.

If you want to kill somebody, when you aren't at war with their entire country, then BE SPECIFIC.

Drone strikes that take out a known Al-Queda leader: ✅

Drone strike that takes out a random Afghan wedding: ❌
