The point seems to be able to handle a UPS failure

WiFi is on all three bands. It's not so much what's newer vs older. Newer devices tend to support 2.4, 5, and 6 and switch between them based on quality of signal and support by the WiFi network. Higher frequencies like 5 and 6GHz are generally better because there's less interference.

Cheaper devices tend to only support 2.4GHz

Yes, but from a societal perspective, theres value in making cuts in a lot of different places.

Maybe you can do a meatless Monday, and somebody else will go vegan. Tell the people in private jets to stop flying private, but the family that's going to another culture and learning and maybe becoming better has benefits.

Fascinating. Just based on your comment and nothing else, sounds like it could be something like a CPU Enclave like Intel SGX. Basically a remote client can validate that an application runs in a secure part of a remote cloud computer. The stated goal of SGX is that you only have to trust Intel and if you trust Intel and say run program X in the enclave, then only that part of the CPU can access the data, not the applications running in the non-secure enclave.

Now that brushes over some things like you still need to trust the client and IIRC in a WhatsApp situation, you don't really know what enclave does, but the communications between the enclave and the host OS are heavily restricted. LLMs also require lots of CPU and are usually run on GPUs, so not sure how that works yet.

I think #1 is suggesting to move the neutral over to another hot phase and change the outlet to a 240v nema 6/three prong (I think) with two hots and a ground instead of the 4 prong.

The 240v at the same amps gives you higher watts so faster charging without an expensive new conductor. I'm

Maybe that's intentional to keep you from wanting to stay there a long time and negotiate.

Most users don't care, as long as they're getting free stuff

Sad, but very true in my experience. I find even my friends who work in software engineering and have exposure to the bad sides of what technology can do, just don't take any efforts to change. They addicted to Instagram, to Amazon, and everything else.

YT ads can be relevant to you based on data collected about you

They certainly can be but if there are 2 advertisers and one is the most relevant and the other pays them more money, which one do you think Google is going to show you?

The one that pays more because it's an auction, but an advertiser that pays more for a less relevant ad to a user won't be making as much money so there is an incentive to be more relevant.

Sounds a lot like getting used to time zones. Just get used to it being 3pm there when it's 6pm here

It makes some things hard and some things easier. For example, you can more easily defend against DoS attacks because there's just more targets.

But decentralized makes it easier for bot manipulation because you can hide your actions across multiple users on different instances and those instances can't easily identify bot signatures like IP addresses to ban many accounts.

Google is doing this because they have incentives to do so. They want to block malicious actors like attack their platforms.

Other companies want to lock down their own apps because they don't think users should be permitted to do anything other than use their apps exactly as they want.

I don't like it as a user, but I also see the reason why companies want this by being on the security side of software.

This is the future of the Big Tech Internet if we're not careful. Attestation to be able to use communications and other websites.
