I can relate. Being 13 would pair really bad with my drunk driving

Basement dwellers, like that one dude who got all his kids through in vitro fertilization, because he was born without a penis, love to use image generators to have their phantasies painted, to make political opponents look bad. And this is real-life footage of the garbage human whose cock they're sucking.

I've been a funding member of the Wikimedia Foundation for over a decade. I have looked at their finances several times before and during financing them.

As with a lot of similar non-profits, a considerable amount of donations does not go into "running the servers". You have to judge this by yourself, but they don't embezzle any money and there is a reasonable bottom line. Wikipedia continuously helps tons of people, and the people who run the operation enable that.

You can download a full dump of Wikipedia any day. Compared to other lying companies, they have been true on their promises for some time.

Of all the $1 I could spend in a year, the one I give to Wikipedia is probably the least wrong invested, and that $1 actually already makes a difference

Turn the lights on. Purple is not a good look

Fair. But I will never retreat from my stance on the FP4 fingerprint sensor. Several times these few cents worth of technology stood between me and important financial transactions, to a degree where my banking apps got locked and required unlocking operations involving having a letter sent to me via snail mail. Today, I have all biometric stuff disabled on the phone. Not because I'm paranoid, but because this phone made it an unbearable annoyance, instead of the convenience it should be.

I had other smartphones before that had the sensor under the screen, and this worked flawlessly for years. The garbage sensor they used in the FP4 is the worst fingerprint sensor I've used in the past two decades. It is literally pure garbage.

As you already mentioned, the device is insanely overpriced. At every single corner, you feel how they cut even the tiniest bit of cost to increase revenue. It is a dishonest device from a dishonest company.

You can say a lot of bad things about Mush, but he's not a cheap whore

AI is great, what OpenAI does is blockchain-level idiocy.
