There’s exactly two purposes: auto updates for drivers and a user interface to quickly install and uninstall drivers.
The cons include that there’s annoying banners everywhere, the drivers itself are the same that you’ll find on their website, you need to create an account for Nvidia, and they will harvest you data (most likely).
Pick your poison xd
Yeah maybe that could work. I definitely agree that there’s ways to get good anchor points. Maybe through cross-check with wireless networks even.
But wouldn’t you scramble the precision with that? Stations can be quite big and anchoring to the station location means you already start with an offset to your location.
Depending on the accuracy over time, they could pinpoint a location while the user is sleeping and than use that as an anchor for the day.
But everything about that is speculative; let’s see where this goes first.
I already commented this on another post about chat control but I still stand by what I said before so imma be a dick and put the original comment here as well:
Imagine there’s one phone type with one security level. And now they introduce a second phone. It has less security. Now everyone has to switch to the weaker phone.
Soooo, now who gets the stronger phones? Government employees? The military? Politicians? Agencies?
The less the strong phones you give out, the more authoritarian the measure. But the more the strong phones you give out, the higher the chance of misuse or mishandling. You will now have a black market for secure phones, giving them out to criminals. You will now have people with strong phones having a higher right of privacy, giving them more protection against the state itself.
Now let’s add more factors. Someone loses their stronger phone. We now have a potentially untraceable strong phone. The government is losing control over those. Now you have 5 different tiers of secure phones. But people are people and the more complicated, the more things can go wrong. Now let’s add in slightly more authoritarian states like Hungary. There’s a good chance they will instantly start spying on journalists. Or give opposition parties the weaker phones by accident.
Now add in foreign agencies. China’s digital government agencies are very efficient. Imagine they get the keys to the weaker phones. Great, now China can effectively monitor 99% of the EU. And now even if an EU member has a strong phone, they just listen in his wife’s phone, and they get the information anyway. Now what about if a spy from North Korea gets the keys and starts finding bank information on the stronger phones? They now have new super annoying ways of stealing billions of dollars from the EU and covertly as well if they do it right.
As you can see, making some people’s security weaker on purpose is a lose lose game. It never works. There’s way too many cooks in the kitchen in the EU for this kind of stuff to stay in line, and there WILL be misuse, one way or the other.
Wrong way around. The law doesn’t decide how we feel, the law is written after society.
If people think something is really bad objectively, then politicians create laws.
So first we need to decide how we feel, then politicians create laws on that. In Europe, countries tend to be more privacy and security first, and that’s why a lot of them already have stricter rules in place.
And Meta also doesn’t tell us how to think, they just tell us how they treat our posts, and the rest is up to lawyers if it comes to a specific dispute.
You don’t have to agree with laws ever. But for the meantime, you do have to follow them.
You can equally find both things wrong. This is not a “either Scholz is wrong or the AfD is corrupt”. There’s more parties than SPD and AfD. In fact, that’s what the system is built on.

What a bullshit law. If things have flaws, they don’t just have flaws for the benefit of police or government agencies. They have flaws for anyone that knows them or discovers them. This stuff will still be accessible for smart criminals, even more so in corrupt governments.
An encryption with exploits is not an encryption, it’s a time bomb and it will blow up in your face at the worst moment.
Power move over Twitter.
What the fuck are you on about. There is evidence that the right-wing party AfD in Germany has financial support from China and other various support from Russia, as well as ties to at least Russia.
This is not a “yeah right”, their political proximity is very much on full display, even just listening to their speeches.
“based on a true story” and everyone would be wondering what the truth in the movie is.
confirming the developers will take a look at it
I can tell you with 99.9% certainty the developers did and do not give a duck about this or might even be opposed to the pricing model.
Why would you rope them in? It’s not like Ben from level design personally specified the price of the missions. Why even involve them? If that’s PR that makes it so much worse for me if they are trying to blame different departments internally. What a clusterfuck, I’m sorry for the humble low level employee who are being mangled in this mess. You are not the reason this is shit, but your bosses bosses made you part of this clown fiesta.
Famous enough that there’s a steady fan base listening to my music (a thousand people internationally sounds great to me) but nothing more than that. I want that genuine fandom, where people actually enjoy being in a niche and no one stalks you and generally people don’t know you wherever you go.
Not even for the money, but just to feel appreciated and to know I have a positive impact on people, that’s all I want.
If it’s only the two extremes? Yeah I’m totally cool with a quiet life.
It’s like a defense mechanism for me. Imagine you are always an outsider and you see that people who are insiders get treated super badly at some point just for not looking “perfect”. You start to be cautious about what you wear and how you look, because you need all the tricks you can get to finally fit in. You want friends to, maybe even find love. Everything social in your life might depend on it and who are you to doom yourself. What, you still haven’t done it? Look how easy all of them do it, but you are still just trying? Well it can’t be everyone else can it? There must be something more, maybe you’re not trying hard enough. Maybe you are just too dumb to really try, maybe your stupid body is just too misshapen to get comfortable. Maybe it’s you. You are the problem.
Anyway, there’s some context. Oh and also if you throw body dysmorphia in the mix the thoughts sound even more crazy.
Oh also for anyone wondering, I don’t have it as much so don’t worry about me, but I have this just a little bit so I can at least feel how other people hone in on this stuff.
Fucking hell man I hope your brain spared you all of the PTSD quirks after that…
Yes vpn all the way.
I use remote access software for my PC and VPN is the only way I can be safe.
Lol
There’s plenty of people who want that sort of discussion on Lemmy.
Btw there’s legit uses for the “dark web”. Getting crucial drugs that are illegal (e.g. opioids against PTSD, maybe even abortion drugs soon), communication channels for politically targeted people and more.
And obviously especially when it is so co controversial, that is even more of a reason for a public discussion forum about it. Lemmy is all about different perspectives, so that fits perfectly.
This means we entered a new era. I like this era.
