You got in at a bad time and probably picked some subpar investments. You likely bought some big tech stocks at the worst possible time, and many of them never recovered because they were way over valued to begin with.

Stick with total market or sp500 fund like VTI or VOO. You’d be up right now if you had.

Also, it sounds like you invested once and then never bought more? The whole point is that you’re buying more every paycheck. You’d be way up if you’d kept investing through 2022 when prices were low.

Retirement accounts with the right funds are supposed to be set it and forget it. Make the automatic contribution every paycheck and look at it maybe once or twice a year. Otherwise, let it be.

Memory safety for one. C is very memory unsafe and that has been the source of a great, great number of software vulnerabilities over the years. Basically, in many C programs it has been possible to force them to execute arbitrary code, and if a program is running with root privileges, an attacker can gain full control over a system by injecting the right input.

I have very limited knowledge of rust, but from what I remember writing memory unsafe programs is nigh impossible as the code won’t really even compile. Someone else with more knowledge can probably give more detail.

It would be nice if the GrapheneOS dev would work it out with the FairPhone folks to make a device that could be supported. I don’t know why any company would hesitate to work with him, he is obviously doing good stuff, but I agree, Pixel only is kind of a turn off because it doesn’t seem like a long term path to building something sustainable in terms of both hardware and software. It’s a workaround.

Yeah and they want to install some profile that gives them access and puts your internet connection through their VPN. My coworkers look at me like I’m crazy because I carry a work device and a personal device. Like, why would I give my employer access to all of my web traffic on my phone? You’re crazy if you don’t carry two devices.

Dude, should I learn COBOL?

Love it when my coworkers reformat the code style, making it nigh impossible to understand what they actually changed, while greatly inflating their “contribution.”

It also blows away the git blame, making it hard to know who actually changed that one critical line of business logic 3 years ago that you need to understand before trying to fix some obscure bug.

I have one coworker who does this constantly and if you just looked at git blame, you’d think he wrote the entire code base himself.

lol… 30 terabytes?! Okay. I’m sure even Google Fi has a cap like that. Most people would struggle to even come close to that. It’s 30x the cap of even a home internet provider like Comcast, which usually limits you to 1 terabyte. Most people would have a really hard time hitting even that on their mobile.

The other thing to consider is Visible is cheaper than Google FI too. And most people aren’t going to use anywhere near 30 terabytes.

Yeah if you pay for the $45/plan it’s 10Mbps speed

It’s too expensive. Visible is cheaper and unlimited everything, even hot spot, and no soft data cap.

Visible has an unlimited hotspot

“It’s okay when a major company does it. For everyone else that’s a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act…” - FBI/DOJ

Why aren’t the booleans like “facts” or “no cap” for true and cap for “false”?

Also, you could have exceptions be called “Sus”

That was the moment I deleted Facebook from my phone. Deleted my account a short while later.

Right… a violation of our TnC… doesn’t matter. Maybe for the customer, not the repo owner.

Seems like the customer would be violating the TnC, not the repo owner

You just by a driving got passed soldier a Hemi!!!

Sure, but they do take snaps of the screen and send it to advertisers. Almost all “smart” TVs do this.

NextDNS is also great for this kind of blocking. It’s like pihole as a service.

They’re taking pictures of what you’re watching on the screen and sending it to random 3rd party data collectors to analyze and then harass you with ads.

Are they charging tax on the service charge too?
