It's trivial to get a 240v circuit installed, even an electrician apprentice can do it with their eyes closed. Alternatively, you can install a battery bank that discharges at >120v while being plugged into a 120v circuit.

The more I think about it, the more I suspect it'll be completely by accident. Some AI designed drug will pass all trials, get approved, be used for years or decades only to find out that some bit of it kind of acts like a generic prion that affects all life. Oh, and that bit also passes right through you, too, so by the time they figure it out, the pseudo-prion is already out there in the wild, infecting fish and other aquatic creatures. And before long the ecosystems of the world's oceans and lakes collapse. Meanwhile land animals also start dying off due to their drinking supply being polluted by it, so a full scale ecological collapse begins. As the pseudoprion sticks around indefinitely, every attempt by nature to evolve new life ends because of it. Eventually it gets buried by all the detritus of time and new life does once again rise only to have humanity's ticking time bomb waiting in the ground for something to dig it up and start the whole cycle all over again...

No? Because despite what they said they were still companies. All those words about not being evil, etc, etc, etc were just PR, nothing else.

Spoofing mobile is at least an order of magnitude harder than spoofing wifi. It pretty much guarantees that those who spoof mobile are either government agencies or people with enough money your pathetic little bank account is irrelevant to them.

That's for now. It is only a matter of time until spoofing mobile is at least as easy and cheap as spoofing wifi is now.

To add to this. DOSes existed going back to the 60s. IBM had DOSes for it's System/360 mainframes back in '64.

I agree with you up until the "hates employees" part. You're mistaking indifference for hate. The system doesn't give a shit about anyone who is not a capital owner collecting more capital. The plight of anyone outside of that group means nothing to the system.

There were never morals and ethics in company policies. Ever. The only time something that seems moral and ethical happens in corporate policies is either through happenstance or a law forces them to be that way.

This has two effects. First, it is supposed to entice with a "cheap" option. Second, it normalizes ads being part of the experience.

A lot of search results still take me to Reddit. It is still a source of knowledge.
