But the point of LoRa is in the name, long range. Wifi barely reaches outside my house. Also a WiFi mesh is dependent on a variety of complicated and proprietary networks and systems while meshtastic is entirely independent.

There are many many companies doing this. But the smart brands will use their name as a sort of stamp of 'this is actually a decent product" because the market is absolutely chock full of e-waste.

Although I personally wouldn’t put too much emphasis on “can report you to authorities for any reason”. That’s true of any third party

Not true of Proton.

I don’t see how Lumo will compete with ChatGPT or Gemini

The same way it competes with all their other products; by making it private and open source.

Google does not have the authority to “send the police”. They reported content that looked like CSAM and the police did what police do and assumed the guy was a criminal.

The problem is not that they reported it, the problem is that they had it in the first place.

Petitioning people to do something that is against their entire purpose doesn’t seem like it would be effective.

Yes. They do.

It hasn’t stopped anyone from using ChatGPT, which has become their biggest competitor since the inception of web search.

So yes, it’s dumb, but they kind of have to do it at this point. And they need everyone to know it’s available from the site they’re already using, so they push it on everyone.

Right, how does this image relate to that?

I know what rule 34 is, I’m asking where this image came from

It doesn’t dismiss anything. It’s just a statement of fact. Certainly in certain contexts it could be interpreted that way.

What’s Rule34?

Whether you know it or not does not change the message. Abusive couples shouldn’t not use this app, they shouldn’t be couples.

All Rockstar games belong in the garbage

I really appreciate Matt’s coverage of emerging technologies but the sensationalism is frustrating. It bit him in the ass already with the whole solid state battery nonsense.

Oof.

tldw?

a government agency can surely decrypt it if they truly wanted to

They can’t. Not using any known technology. Even basic encryption like AES256 would take 10^50 years on a supercomputer. That’s not even getting into quantum-resistant encryption.

Which has nothing to do with encryption?

I mean to my knowledge the US hasn’t tried to force encryption backdoors recently?

Listened to the first episode and I don’t have any negative feedback. You might consider running your audio through Auphonic. Really great hands-off editor that can take quality to another level. But it’s fine as is.
