More self-promotion from this grifter. The internet's problem isn't "shit" it's "spam" and grifters like Corey are a part of the problem.
Enshittification just doesn't apply to the internet, it applies to all technology. Take cars for example, replacing physical controls for things like heating, windscreen demister and wipers and putting them on the touchscreen.

Yeah I don't understand this recent backlash against Steam.
It's the whole "Valve requires users to buy all additional content through Steam if they've bought that game through the platform, effectively "locking in" users to make purchases on its platform " that's the issue.

This could end up being quite expensive....for Steve Huffman. The WSB mob are renown for setting fire to money to financially assassinate those they disagree with.

Attached to: China Hacked Downing Street Phones For Years
So as an actual Brit and one who isn't fucking mental.....
Basically the Chinese Embassy as it is now isn't actually in one building but spread over several buildings all of which are very old and for which plans are not available and they all have basements, the sizes of which are unknown. So our intelligence services have a bit of a clue of the layouts above ground, after all they can just go look at the house next door, but not of what's underground. Which kind of makes it a bit hard to keep an eye on what they're doing.
With the new building they know everything about it's layout, the plans etc because the Chinese govt have to submit plans and the building works have to be inspected. Because of where it is and just how much infrastructure is underground there, mains water lines, gas lines, electricity cables etc, it also means that the Chinese cannot do any nefarious work underground without anyone knowing and it makes us spying on them easier.
Our intelligence services which are some of the best in the world have already done plenty of risk assessment. If they'd not greenlighted it it wouldn't happen.

Attached to: Saudi Arabia To Scale Back Neom Megaproject
What I do wonder is how many Saudis have the skills needed to provide the services needed by this project?
None. The vast majority of work done in Saudi is done by immigrant slave labour. I say slave labour because they take their passports from them when they enter the country so they can't leave. They're also forced to live in poor conditions and work horrific hours. The rate of work injuries and deaths is shocking.

Attached to: AI is Hitting UK Harder Than Other Big Economies, Study Finds
Brexit is a factor for sure. The UK's economy has generally underperformed compared to its peers since the result was announced
No it hasn't. The most comparable EU economy to ours is France and has been for decades. The UK has continued to perform either slightly above or below France as it always has.

Got nothing to do with Brexit you retard. And if you actually look at a graph of UK employment and unemployment then following the vote to leave we ended up with record numbers of people in employment and unemployment fell to the point we effectively had full employment and all of this whilst net migration was rising.

Microsoft can only hand over the keys that you have saved in your online Microsoft Account. When you're setting up Bitlocker you're given the choice to do that or to save them as a file or to just see the key to write it down. You don't have to upload them to your MS Account and if you do you can still delete them from it.

Attached to: US Formally Withdraws From WHO
Eventually there will be a sane person leading USA again, unfortunately a lot of time of that term will be needed just to reverse all the current stupidity..
As far as the rest of NATO is concerned, especially the UK following Trumps unbelievable insult about our troops in Afghanistan where he said we weren't near the front line, you're going to be way longer than one term or even one consecutively twice elected President before those bridges Trump has dynamited get rebuilt. Trump with that one flippant remark in his Fox News interview has managed to piss off pretty much all of the public in the UK, a nation that doesn't fetishize it's military like the US does. The Liberal Democrat Party President Josh Babarinde MP even posted on X "Trump can go fuck himself." The UK public is rapidly turning away from the US and all things US.

Attached to: China Lagging in AI Is a 'Fairy Tale,' Mistral CEO Says
By other tech leaders you mean US ones who have yet to find any way to make their AI profitable and who each need to find $100billions of funding for the next three years just to stay operational? Of course they have a vested interest in trying to maintain the lie that the much cheaper Chinese AI alternatives are months or years behind.

So the IMF has just basically said "keep giving the techo bros we hold shares in $100billions a year in funding for something that will never turn a profit because if you don't it'll make us poor when the whole house of cards comes crashing down."

But the real reason that they are dependent is b/c they don't have a strong domestic tech industry themselves.
Much ignorance? Typical American attitude. Remember that every CPU in every product in Apple's current range, iPads, iPhones, Apple TV, Macbooks are all now using CPUs that use ARM architecture that was developed in the UK. The target acquisition system in the F35 Stealth Fighter is European. EutelSat has OpenWeb, a Starlink equivalent. I can go on and on and on.

You don't have a clue what fascism is or what a communist government is or a "fourth reich dictatorship." You've not grown up in times where those have actually existed other than a very few which you've had no experience of. In fact you're generation has so little experience that much of the time you're on the internet calling the very same people fascists that you're also calling far left, you've done it in your post where you said "It's odd that all the fascism comes from communist govts like in Australia and the UK". Communism and fascism are on complete opposite sides of the political spectrum you dumb fuck.
