iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18
  • Seriously? Matrix and signal already exists... So you can use them today instead of RCS to your heart's desire.

    Israel lobbying US Congress to press South Africa to drop ICJ genocide case: Report
  • No... US clearly belongs to Israel, not the other way around. This is what happens when politicians are bought and Americans have been conditioned that you can never say no to Israel or you're an antisemite.

    Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • Why get so offended? Just because he rambles like someone with ADHD doesn't mean that Biden didn't sound like someone with Alzheimer's. People will think ADHD people are better off cognitively than those with Alzheimer's.

    Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
  • No this is Republicans demanding something they never actually wanted and Democrats actually doing the right thing for once. Trump misses Biden so much already. Even if Trump is too old I'd rather Republicans think he isn't than to try to convince them to change him out for a better candidate.

  • They were as braindead as Biden. They didn't want to think.

  • The same ones who prevented Trump from winning were operating in bad faith? Seriously.. it was the Democrats complaining saying he should step down. Why on earth would Democrats want Republicans to pick a new candidate now? Do you thinking helping Republicans somehow helps your side?

    Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?
  • Telegram isn't made to be a full E2EE messenger. They have things like public channels which you can't do with E2EE. What kind of idiots thought that Telegram was intended to be a fully E2EE messenger? People use it cause it is native and good for its purposes. It has secret chats if you need them at times. Why all the hate from the Signal CIA fanbois?

    Trump Goes off the Deep End During Kamala Harris’s DNC Speech
  • She's still married to him. If he loses the election and the Republican party turns against him, and if he ends up having to pay half a billion in damages from his court cases, she'll run to the media with some sob story about how she felt she couldn't leave him sooner.

    Trump Goes off the Deep End During Kamala Harris’s DNC Speech
  • He's mad cause the Democrats are absolutely crushing it. They went from being over 3 points behind in most polls with Biden, to now being almost 4 points ahead on average. He's ignored the advice of all his campaign advisors... he really couldn't help himself. Now he's relying on Elon to help him "win" the election and it isn't working as expected. All they have left it is perpetuate conspiracies & lies and hope that Twitter (X) has enough reach to change the outcome of the election. Musk isn't even hiding that he's manipulating the algorithms and allowing bots to run rampant anymore. THAT is their strategy to try to win. If he loses then Musk will immediately try to sell if he can, but X is now worth a small fraction of what he paid for it. I'd be surprised if he could get 2 billion for it. This was in 2023:

    Musk will have literally thrown away $40+ billion if Kamala wins.

    Google sales reps allegedly keep telling advertisers how to target teens
  • Microsoft won't even let you setup Windows now without an online account, unless you modify the installer or enter the terminal during installation. I don't like Google but for God's sake the issue isn't just with Google. We need better laws and regulations in the US. Going after Google when other companies are just as corrupt or worse solves nothing. It just paves the way for worse actors. You can't even remove your Microsoft Store apps once they've been downloaded from your library. At least with Google I can remove that and manage lots of privacy settings. Google isn't an angel but there are bigger demons out there that seem to be getting a free pass.

  • This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why – people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information.

    Robust disaster recovery plans, including automated processes to remotely reboot and remediate thousands of machines, aren't revolutionary. They're basic hygiene, especially when considering the potential consequences of a breach. Yet, this incident highlights a systemic failure across many organizations. While CrowdStrike erred, the real culprit is a culture of shortcuts and misplaced priorities within corporate IT.

    Too often, companies throw millions at vendor contracts, lured by flashy promises and neglecting the due diligence necessary to ensure those solutions truly fit their needs. This is exacerbated by a corporate culture where CEOs, vice presidents, and managers are often more easily swayed by vendor kickbacks, gifts, and lavish trips than by investing in innovative ideas with measurable outcomes.

    This misguided approach not only results in bloated IT budgets but also leaves companies vulnerable to precisely the kind of disruptions caused by the CrowdStrike incident. When decision-makers prioritize personal gain over the long-term health and security of their IT infrastructure, it's ultimately the customers and their data that suffer.

    About a month ago I got a notification that my subscription had been refunded and then another email that my account was terminated:

    > You are receiving this email because we have identified suspicious activity on your account. In order to protect our platform, we have refunded and canceled your subscription. You will no longer have access to ChatGPT Plus service.

    This was after using the service for two months. I emailed and sent them a message almost immediately since I could prove my identity, but they haven't responded back in almost a month. Their customer support appears to be non-existent.

    I keep wanting to sign back up, but I'm still pissed about it. I'm guessing it is because I used a virtual card when I signed up and they don't stay active for very long so I have to create a new one for each month of service. Usually I just get a failed payment notification and update my payment info with a new one which pulls from my bank account.

    It sucks not being able to use the service though because it was so helpful at helping with programming tasks and Bard isn't nearly as good. Has anyone had any luck getting through to support?
