I think the $450 USD was just keeping up with inflation.

$300 in March 2017 when the switch originally launched is equivalent to almost $400 today ($392 and some change). S2 is launching at $450, if they were only expecting 15%-ish tariffs then maybe, but it should then be cheaper outside of the US if tariffs were the only reason. Electronic component prices have gone up beyond inflation growth, I think it would be easier to blame it on that.

$80-90 games before tariffs sucks, but games have been $60 for as long as I can remember, and they’re only getting more expensive to make.

This kill switch, the DOJ said, appeared to have been created by Lu because it was named “IsDLEnabledinAD,” which is an apparent abbreviation of “Is Davis Lu enabled in Active Directory.”

Lu named these codes using the Japanese word for destruction, “Hakai,” and the Chinese word for lethargy, “HunShui,”

[Lu]’s “disappointed” in the jury’s verdict and plans to appeal

No, this guy is cooked, there’s even evidence of him looking up how to hide processes and quickly delete files, absolutely no way an appeal would work out for him, I don’t think an “I got hacked” argument is going to work.

Really cool, but really scary, all I see is facial biometrics from 1 km away.

These are feeds that you have to follow, and the “algorithm” is defined by the feed creator. This isn’t BS forcing stuff on people.

The Ithaca, N.Y., university said … that AT&T and Verizon’s smartphones, routers and other products violate its patent rights in technology for improving the efficiency and signal strength of Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

…

The lawsuits said two Cornell engineering professors invented the technology described in the two patents, related to Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 wireless standards. Cornell received the patents in 2010 and 2011.

Cornell said that the companies infringe its patents by making and selling Wi-Fi-enabled devices that use the same wireless technology.

I’m confused, shouldn’t they be suing manufacturers? Or are there OEM products that ATT and Verizon are both selling just relabeled which are the products the lawsuit is about?

He’s going to rename the i series to something ridiculous like i69, i420, i1337, and iX isn’t he?

Tried both, tried a normal resume and a resume with an ATS-focused layout, tried AI-based tools meant to help you improve your resume, and a few other things, and after more than forty applications in six months, what finally got me an interview and then very quickly an offer was an internal referral from a friend/ex-coworker. For context, I am a software engineer.

Fun fact: the average response time after submitting an application was 48 days.

Fair enough! Thanks for the data!

Much appreciated!

With no clear winner in terms of performance, which one do you think has the most durable material? I have been using a Corsair Voyager mini for years, which I think has an aluminum shell, and it very quickly bent inward on the side that doesn’t have the contacts, usually I need to put a key or some other metal thing into the USB slot of the drive to re-flatten it before it can be plugged in.

It’s all fun and games until tab autocomplete stops working because of disk space

I have lived in northern Nevada for eight years, the amount of trash left in Black Rock and what they dump around Reno the days after Burning Man is over makes them seem a whole lot less climate conscious. I’ve seen piles of playa dust covered junk just dumped in streets and parking lots and RVs dumping directly into street gutters. Many Renoites will tell you similar stories, unfortunately.

I know it isn’t all of them, but there are plenty of them unfortunately.
