Check b stock.

Typically its scratch & dent, sometimes demo or trade show use.

Still gets a warranty (which is better on commercial in most cases), and usually a pretty sizable discount. If you can find a local distributor, they will sometimes sell off prior year stock for a really good price.

No worries, just adding to it for accuracy!

Thanks for the transcript! Still going through it, but wanted to note one error. This line:

Trump now famously said in 2002, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with.” It is even said that he likes beautiful women. as much as I do and many of them are on the younger side.

Has the endquote in the wrong spot, it should be:

Yes please!

I could use a few more modern tiny/mini/micros to make into useful Linux boxes.

Ive already got xmpp, its more a client thing for them I think.

The discord-esque look I think works. Though if you’ve got a client rec for xmpp with a similar feel, for that I’m all ears.

Neat

Maybe I can spin something up for family to use instead of SMS.

Subscribed - New - if I’m subscribed, I’m going to look at all of it, so new is best.

All - Top/6hrs - All I’m looking for what has been interesting to others, maybe find a new subscription, maybe looking at things I don’t want to subscribe to (like some political news comms, where I want to read but dont want it to take over my subscription feed).

Local - Scaled - just handy for finding interesting local comms IMO.

Which they are already doing in the shittiest way possible, and is only a small part of the problem the lawsuit notes.

Which is why I’ve been asking, they can’t answer because they dont know what they are talking about, they are concerned about a single (almost tangential) element of the problem - which Roblox already is doing, and only because they keep getting sued for catering to predators.

They did it to avoid suits, which is what I said.

Suggesting its anything other than avoiding consequences (to their profits) is misleading to the point of maliciousness.

Did you not read the part where I pointed out that it was Roblox who implemented that by choice?

That this is how Roblox decided to try and avoid lawsuits for catering to predators?

That these measures, as noted in the suit, do absolutely nothing and are easily defeated?

That the issue goes far beyond their own decision to implement this form of age verification?

I have the same question and you still have not answered, youre answering a question that I didnt ask that is unrelated.

What rights are being signed away by this lawsuit?

Edit: about/avoid autocorrect shenanigans.

Thats not the only means of age verification.

Do you know how they are doing verification currently? Because I bet you won’t like it.

Mandatory facial verification, processed by AI. This was the response made by Roblox to them being sued over having nonfunctional controls for parents, and doing nothing about the predators on their platform.

So I’ll ask again - what rights do you think are being taken away here?

Edit: Just going to add this bit here.

Tech journalist and former CNET senior writer Casey Newton asked what Baszucki (CEO) thinks of the “problem of predators” on the platform

The response:

We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well.

This is not an “age verification” thing. This is a platform catering to predators.

Set parental controls

This is what they are suing about.

Don’t sign away the rights of other adults

What rights do you think are being “signed away” in this lawsuit about Roblox not providing functional parental controls and moderation?

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what is actually happening here.

Just to note here, they are referring to nest which is google.

This reviews the details pretty well, but @magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone got it right out of the gate.

And thats aside from his being a mysoginist ass as well.

Ehhhhhh hopefully not everything.

I really, really, really hope not everything.

5 channels here!

Well, technically. They drop out more often than not so its essentially worthless. To get decent reception, I’d need to go to a motorized high gain directional.

Its been quite a few years since OTA has been a realistic option for me, and why I have had a media server since Netflix only offered DVDs by mail.

Same! I have a veritable stack of 3b’s still, some pi 4s - all stopped by the time the 4’s compute module came out in octoberish? of 2020.

Haven’t bought anything of theirs since.

Price? Tiny/mini/micro PC

Simple sensor use? ESP32

Complex GPIO? Arduino is still a cheap option if you dont need it too standalone.

Straight up pi-alikes? OrangePi is my preferred

Most of what I personally use is esp32s and tiny/mini/micro. TMM for servers and services, esp32s for sensors, interfaces, prototyping, etc. If I need something fully standalone thats going to go in a rack or whatever, needs to be small and have all the GPIO, thats where I’ll use an orangpi, clockwork, whatever. Ive even used a tinkerboard or a Jetson (client paying obviously, because screw those prices and nvidia).

Demonstrated clearly during the pandemic when they prioritized sales to businesses over anything else.

I prefer rapist/child rapist to describe him, a bit more direct and accurate.
