Yeah, are we really at the point where we need to be murdering pieces of shit? I don’t want the judicial system to do it, and I definitely don’t want “vigilantes” to be doing it.

I definitely recognize the irony of the context in this situation though. He literally stood on the platform of “We need to accept that some people will die so that we can have our guns”. He put his life where his mouth was…not that he ever expected to be the one to sacrifice his life.

I guess shooting nerf guns or silly string at him wouldn’t have gotten the same message across.

Microsoft says AI is more productive than workers. Microsoft says workers are more productive in the office.

AI is not in the office.

So do we bring AI into the office to make it more productive?

Thank you for this detailed response!

I have a Pixel, which has 5 years of security updates. That would probably get me up to the point where I’d want to change the battery. But I’m not convinced a newer phone would have anything for me other than better security updates, so it’d be hard to justify the price.

There’s also the fact that new phones can still have security vulnerabilities.

Since my phone is a flagship phone, I feel comfortable that if there are unpatched security issues discovered, they’d be caught by the public pretty quickly and I could make decisions from there…I just have to hope I’m not a “patient zero”, lol

I may have to get a “burner phone” for any sketchier activities to be safe, though…lmao

Is that a relatively reasonable course of action?

How often do older devices get breached, and is there any way to continue using an “older” device safely?

I feel like short security update lifecycles are a form of planned obsolescence.

With a battery upgrade after a few years, I could probably get over 5 years of life out of my phone, easily.
