Elon Musk spent months slashing federal contracts — Now his AI company is celebrating a $200M Pentagon contract and new unit to get government business

  • Is this one of those things where I go and check where most American drugs are made and it's already the us?

    Just by looking at the value of drug imports to the US, most likely

    Britain exports £8.8bn of pharmaceutical products to the United States and is home to some of the world’s largest drug companies including GSK and AstraZeneca.

    Mr Trump’s drug tariffs would be especially punitive for Ireland, which is responsible for 28pc of America’s imported drugs.

    The country, which exports $66bn worth of pharmaceuticals, has 30,000 people currently employed in plants by US drug companies.

  • yup that's right, I have a Redmi 9A that uses the MTK chip. I can unlock the bootloader in a few minutes and I don't have to wait weeks to unlock the bootloader.

  • Yes, I think it's still a problem

    Even if Gemini App Activity is off, Gemini will still get access to these tools on your mobile phone. So how would the user know which feature setting this applies to and how they can stop this?

  • I have some Linux installed on my x240, Mini PC, and 12th Gen Intel Core i3 laptop with ZRAM without any issues.

    Here are screenshots of the dual boot Linux on my old Mini PC, Celeron with 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD

  • Yeah I guess, if you already have Android phone without Google Assistant or Gemini installed.

    It's probably already installed on the latest Android phones.

  • No, I never tried running it on Linux, I don't think it would work well with Wine. Because the unlocking tool requires access to USB port.

  • Unfortunately no, I use a cheap xiaomi phone as a daily driver.

    Yes, Xiaomi phones are the worst when it comes to privacy. Fortunately, it has communities and many custom roms. I just need to install the custom rom without installing gapps.

  • On the subject of privacy, they're both the same. They're runs on top of Gapps, which has access to the Android system. Anything you type, what you do, or what you think. They will send all the data to Google's servers and feed the AI. And Google probably knows you better than you know yourself.

  • of course, you don't want M$ Copilot digging into your porn history, do you?

  • it just didn't get as hot there because of the rainy weather

    When the day starts, it will be very hot til around 12:00-13:00. between 14:00-16:00 when water vapor accumulates, it will rain heavily. But it happens randomly and regardless of the season as used to be.

    As far as I can tell, this has happened in the last two or three years, I don't know what season it is. And it gets worse, since this January there has been no rainy season or summer.

    May I ask where you are? Is it a monsoon climate?

    I live in SEA, around May-August it should be summer. November-March is the monsoon.

  • Not at all, at least where I live I don't experience flooding. But I recognize that there are floods elsewhere in my country, especially in places very close to the equator.

    I read somewhere it is predicted that there will be very wet season around the equator and it will last until December. This is very unusual for us, I realized people around me didn't know this.

  • In SMTP/POP3 sessions never required that kind of information. Unless you're using their apps like Google Mail or M$ Outlook, they might send those kind of information to their servers, but that's outside from SMTP/POP3 sessions.

    You should avoid using VPN with Google account, your Google account can get banned.

  • I live near equator, We should have a hot summer this June and temperatures around 27-34°C in May-August, but instead we got the rainy like season.

  • I don't think they going to stop now. They even forced users to create Windows accounts in order to use Windows 11. They will also force Copilot to be installed on Windows 11.

    Did we ever ask M$ for this AI spy tool? No.

  • That's one of the reasons I use Linux as my daily driver. I'm not playing high end games, I only play old windows games from my childhood.

  • is there any benefit? unless you are the target of spy agencies. but I don't think it's worth it.

    stay away from mainstream social media, better yet use custom ROMs and don't install gapps. use system-wide adblockers or change your DNS in addition to ISP DNS.

    remember, government agencies can always buy your data from data brokers.

    if possible, don't use M$ Windows, it sends telemetry to M$ server.

    for example I use Linux as my daily driver, and I still use dnscrypt-proxy to avoid government censorship

  • In my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

  • We gonna fork him into isekai world!
