My guess is voice control

To be fair, there is a book called IBM and the Holocaust, and there is one instance of a typewriter with a special swastika key. It's at the far right, topmost row. Typewriters like that, however, were made under "very rare circumstances", according to this piece on Slate, which also happens to have photos of several German typewriters of the time.

As for the Windows thing, that's nutty bullshit

Related Real Life Lore video from 3y ago but still relevant, that explains the "deadline" of around 2030 for mainland China to attempt an invasion (around 21:00 on video) and the escalation happening then - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6sCsOdqXQw

At least you can blame yourself for your own shitty code, which hopefully will never attempt to "accidentally" erase the entire project

<code that is wrong elsewhere>

I don't see any cooling, it's going to catch fire once you put the pedal to the metal

Off the top of my head, I can immediately think of "civitt" as a better alternative - civilians instead of corpo overlords. Personitt. Hell, even "netizen" or some variation of that would be better. Zennet?

I need to see that in action. I also wonder what it does to clean private parts

 

I mean, every market has 2 or 3 whole aisles dedicated entirely to cleaning products and each seems specific for one thing only. I feel like some soap with a disinfectant is enough, but most people I know do a whole 3 stage cleaning ritual - soap (and rinse), disinfectant (and rinse), bleach (and rinse to finish)

 

To be fair, the problem is that these groups are going after people IRL, as per the article

 

I've been thinking about some games that can be done in order to get people drawing, mostly as a means to give some variation to kids I've been teaching.

So far, I've found/thought about the following:

  1. I go through body parts, one at a time, like "torso". Everyone draws it. Once done, they pass the paper to another person, then I state another body part, rinse and repeat until it's fully done
  2. One person has to describe a thing or creature without naming it, everyone else has to draw according to what's being described
  3. Give them 3 lists, one of "who", one of "where" and one of "doing", where they pick one option from each and have to draw it, so others have to figure what it is. For instance, "(Who) Medic / (Where) Space / (Doing) Playing games with friends"

What else would you suggest?

 

No need to name names or sources.

Mine has to be some dude that insisted that advertising is a "30,000 year old technology"

 

Samsung and Xiaomi apps on their factory defaults are mostly fine, update them once and suddenly you have ads flashing after every 2 interactions with your phone

 

For instance, when your team misses a super close shot at scoring, or when you lose a super tense game match by a hair.

 

I mean, you take one look at Greek statues and Roman busts and you realize that people figured how to aim for realism, at least when it came to the human body and faces, over 2000 years ago.

Yet, unlike sculpture, paintings and drawings remained, uh, "immature" for centuries afterwards (to my limited knowledge, it was the Italian Renaissance that started making realistic paintings). Why?

 
 

Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration gave Neuralink, which Musk cofounded in 2016, approval to launch human trials of its device that Musk has described as a "Fitbit in your skull." The FDA had previously rejected Neuralink's bid for human testing in March over safety concerns, Reuters reported, including that the wires connected to the brain chip could move within a subject's head or that the chip could overheat.
