I think you are overestimating just how many big companies use a thin client-like system. But I admit I might be underestimating it. Out of personal experience, I used to work for a pretty big global company and every employee got their own work laptop to use. And that was a company with 30.000+ employees worldwide. So maybe that is my bias in this, and I would think companies like that wouldn’t so easily give up their digital sovereignty.

And you all think all those companies will just fold their cards and go with it? I don’t buy that.

Ok, whats your answer for all commercial companies without their own data centers then? You think they’d all be happy to give up their computers/laptops as well, or pay so much higher prices in the future?

Well, but if you do it together with pirating media it does save you quite a bit actually. And since you are doing it for training your local AI models it is obviously not illegal anymore either.

Yeah, can confirm. It wasn’t something that was important for me so if it is for anyone, do not buy these.

For me it works well enough at work in the office. Doesn’t block out everything but enough that I can concentrate on what I am doing.

Seeing all the moderately negative reviews for the 1st gen earbuds they made, I just want to add, if you are in the market for over ear headphones, the fairbuds xl (I think that is what they are called), are pretty good in my opinion.

They also released a 2nd gen model of these like last year, I had mine since February or so, I really like them. I am no audiophile but they sound good to me.

The 1st gen model had some issues with stability of some plastic parts for some customers, I haven’t had any issues with these 2nd gen ones and I use them almost every day.

Great

Oh sure, but that’s a separate issue. These guys are hacking the stores knowing it will spoil food. Fast food workers are reprimanded for trying to not spoil food. Both things are bad.

And thanks!

I don’t mind them hacking supermarkets but destroying food is drawing the line for me. Granted, most of the frozen goods sold there are probably highly processed and not very healthy, but still.

Hacking the price tags is definitely great.

The “most fun LEGO kits”, how would you even measure that in any way?

10-15 years ago I’d have given an Android-based OS a fair chance, but today… nah.

Checks were definitely written.

Balances were certainly also involved.

Just not the ones you hoped for.

If people aren’t buying it you get no profit.

Well, you should not!!!

The researchers found preinstalled malware on devices with model names associated with legitimate manufacturers, including the Doogee S200 X and Cubot KINGKONG X, as well as phones impersonating Samsung and Apple products.

In case you were wondering which brands are mentioned here.

Sad read. Sociopaths should really not consider raising kids.

I am sure they collect it. But they do not show it freely. Katharina had to request all the data, what the OP article talks about is just shown without any request.

Dude, there are so many places online you can get free insults from, I mean you are already here so why not post about the Ukraine war on lemmy.ml or mistake Star Trek for Star Wars or something.

Does not look like they do this on German Amazon.

Is it really spying if people are giving out all their info freely? I guess the agent with its cutesy demeanor is kind of pressuring people to do that, which is obviously not ok.

But a different side of this is people just not giving a shit about any of this. And not for the first time. Facebook wouldn’t try this if they didn’t know most people would go for it. Not saying that to justify their actions, but we desperately need people to realise what the outcome of all this is.
