Xbox One Series X or S

I think there’s a bit of confusion due to Microsoft’s insane naming conventions. These consoles exist:

1. Xbox One
2. Xbox One X
3. Xbox Series S
4. Xbox Series X

OP is talking about (2).

Technically there has been an exploit found:

But it might be only for (1) and it’s not clear if there’s a practical way to use it yet.

I love all his books, but I just want to recommend The Unconsoled. I found it an absolute trip and it’s one of my favourite books.

This seems like bait because what kind of union has you working 7 days a week?

Those were just random examples that came to mind. I’m sure there are places where people have an impression of Chinese people based on tourists, etc.

Americans just stand out because you see them everywhere, because they have a huge amount of wealth.

The point I was trying to make is that it’s tourists in general who might tend to be more annoying.

I think they are just talking about annoying main-character type people you see traveling all over the world. It’s not really an American thing, it’s just that a you’re likely to come across an American one of these assholes due to various statistical factors. I’m sure in Spain they have the same idea about the English, or in Indonesia about Australians.

If you’re the type of person to think about this and contemplate how people perceive you, I strongly suspect you are not going to annoy anyone.

It should be possible to use a distributed web of trust for this.

Someone already said key lime pie, so I’ll put in my current favourite savoury pie, a gruyère and leek pie more or less like this:

Laying on my back on my sofa playing Clair Obscure at 720p, while my overpowered gaming pc with giant screens is just over there.

I don’t even bother trying to stream games or use the dock on my TV, I just like holding a little rectangle in front of my face.

I really need to figure out a better sandboxing method for shells. It’s crazy to be things where my keys, browser data, shell history are all accessible.

I do try to use firejail where possible, but it’s quite cumbersome. Every so often I look for tools to help with this, but everything is oriented around making a specific program (e.g. Firefox, steam) work.

Yeah, I’d say for information, certainly, but there are other ways you could be valuable. A dev on a popular open source project might be very valuable for executing supply chain attacks.

Something feels off today

I was thinking the same thing just based on downloading some tarballs for some open source projects. General speed tests were fine.

I feel like I’m having a Mandela Effect moment because this seems very familiar.

I did some searching and it reminded me that there was a shop called Tesseract Computers in my home town.

For the blue cube, are you perhaps thinking of an SGI workstation of some sort? Some of those were blue cubes.

You can audit the code but something like:

The rate of commits and new features seems rather high for a single person working by themselves

Is a huge problem in itself IMO. It implies there’s no real human oversight of the project.

That’s the scary thing. It can easily create more code than it can understand, and do it faster than human understanding can keep up with.

Furthermore, a peer review process is planned, through which the consortium members will mutually check and certify their operating systems and smartphone or tablet models. “This is intended to create transparency and replace trust with traceability.”

Still doesn’t sound very open.

I should be able to tell my bank to only trust devices running an OS signed by the grapheneos key, and more importantly I should be able to tell them to trust an OS signed by my key.

Edit: I don’t mean to shit on this too hard. It might be the best next step.

The difference now is the machine can churn out way more data (e.g. pull requests) than a human can ever deal with.

I’m like this too. I can go back to a city I’ve been to once, years ago, and I know the way around. I remember the layout and location of my childhood friends houses, even when I don’t remember their names.

I’m terrible at remembering exact quotes from books, TV, etc, but I have pins in my mental map for where the scenes took place, even in fictional worlds.

Why do I feel good when I avoid stepping on the pavement cracks?

It’s one of the most mind blowing man-made things I’ve ever seen. The only thing I can think of that was similar to walking into it was walking into the building at Kennedy space centre with the Saturn V in it.
