  • I don’t get it, how tf they gonna stop you on phones that already exist?

    A. You can disable any new OS or device updates from Google.

    B. You can keep your existing phone on Android 16 or prior (hell, I’m on 12)

    C. Use alt OS like Graphene, Lineage, Iodé, /e/OS, CalyxOS (they’re back!!), etc

    D. Sign out of Google on your phone, install F-Droid or something from APK package on FF derived browser.

    I’m sure on brands new devices with that patch, plus anyone who doesn’t disable the auto updates will be blocked. But no way no how can Google stop us all!! 🖕🖕🏻🖕🏿🖕🏼


  • Murders aren’t happening with Ghost guns, but big bro is scared and they came up with a scary name to scare the general public.

    3D printed gun parts were actually from the makers community where they’re not malicious, they’re customizing grips and handguards and other parts for uniqueness and customization. Reproducing movie and game guns for fun. Capitalist daddy didn’t like then making something “for nothing” vs spending Lots of money with retailers and manufacturers, so it slowly became a problem when it caught on and everyone stated making their own.

    ONE thing caught attention, and that was 3D printed parts that basically jam a trigger mechanism in Glocks allowing them to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. Now magically these people became awful criminals who are intentionally selling “ghost guns” by the masses that’s a huge problem with 1000s being recovered by police… Only I completely made up that whole last part. See if easy to seem believable if there’s the slightest credibility involved. I’ve not seen more than a few dozen maybe recovered guns with 3d printed parts. Most all of them are still regular manufactured parts with 3d “accessories” because you can’t print the metal barrel (definitely not reliably) and other parts that would otherwise have a serial number you can now get away without a registration.






  • To your point, With OP posting this video, what does that do? How is it helpful to stomp out hate? What does anyone supporting a non-right-leaning or independent party gain from this?

    Yes, I agree hate needs to stop ASAP. But part of that hate come from fear and fear comes from the unknown, or not knowing, or “misinformation” that Trump popularized so well to create FUD.

    He didn’t do it alone, he’s not smart enough. Instead, there’s a group of financial backers who can afford to create this sort of theme/message/or any rhetoric they want to. They own most politicians, the media, most social media and news sources… It’s almost inescapable.

    I don’t have all the answers, but I’m willing to run for an official position to try and show money can’t buy politics or politicians, and the more people willing to stand up, the faster we take back or government!



  • I’m not defending any sides, nor taking sides. Hear me out. Many Republicans vote only bc that’s what their core beliefs align with “best” to their knowledge. Many don’t listen to anything else nor anyone else, bc Trump has some all to start this whole “misinformation” madness to spread FUD BS (fear, uncertainty, doubt)

    One an elected person, like Trump, is in office, he does whatever he wants, and plenty of articles are out there about all the regret many of these voters have for not doing research or homework. Plus, can you blame them?! Both candidates had been in office prior, then bidden drops out leaving Harris as a last minute runner up that so many hate! So, both sides are at fault for allowing Trump back into office!

    What you, and a lot do on these subs, do by trashing “the other side” vs trying to educate or assist, is drive them away, make them dig their heels in deeper, etc. Nobody likes being told they’re wrong! Am I wrong to say that? So, instead of getting defensive anytime someone opposes your views, is try to understand why they think that way or where they’re coming from to help overcome their objections to an alt party.

    I’m not saying it’s perfect, but holy shit, the amount of shitting on either side is a bit ridiculous… Aren’t y’all tired of fighting? Or tired of not getting anywhere?? If YOU want change, help show anyone else the way to it, not be a stick up their asses like that’ll help any.



  • Look, we’re going to have different people in the US. They’re going to have different upbringings, different opinions, different lifestyles, and make different choices based on info provided to them.

    That said, y’all need to realize it’s not a “left vs right” fight, but a class warfare of wealthy few vs all who’re trying to disrupt, divide, and distract in order to keep their money, influence, and power.

    No I didn’t watch the video. Just tired of sides picking on one another fueling hate and divide!




  • I’ve got a 13700K currently at work with no issues for almost 3 years, and our sales manager at work, I got him a 14900HX for his laptop last year and no issues. I’m the IT guy and I don’t want bogged down machines, so I’m choosy with who gets what.

    We’re not gaming per se, but I’ve got 4 screens, he’s got 3, neither have had driver issues or crashes. Both get plenty of airflow and in a cool building, like the other commenter mentioned. Hope that helps.


  • We’ll you have “Core” and “Core Ultra”. Core 3, 5, 7 are your more efficient CPUs, even if it ends in H which was previously “high” performance. But Core Ultra is 5, 7, and 9 which is what you’d want to aim for obviously. Personally, I don’t know that a 9 gives you all that much more on real world gaming performance.

    Idk though, because, while the Ultra series has a higher boost clock, good for “AI”, and has improved single core benchmarks, the 13th and 14th gen (14700K for example) are still damn impressive, support DDR5, PCIe 5.0, etc. You even get the same approximate multi core performance and the core count is higher (vs Ultra 7 265K)

    https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_core_ultra_7_265k-vs-intel_core_i7_14700k

    Is it worth it to you to spend the extra dough? Some 13/14 gen support Ddr4 too if you wanna save, OR recycle your ddr4 from your current rig if you’ve got enough.

    Edit, ohhh yeah back to original ask. A Core i3-13100 or 14100 is 4c/8t and holds its own to a 7700K. Quite impressive.
