You didn’t need a library to do this. Just alias document.querySelector and document.querySelectorAll to something shorter. Polluting the global namespace with functions to document.createElement on every possible html tag is not a good idea.
I’d be curious if these were predominantly mobile or desktop i9s. I have an i9 laptop that regularly runs at 100 degrees Celsius which is supposedly “safe” for these chips but it doesn’t really feel safe when it touches my skin. I’ve experienced firsthand many laptops with thermal issues and just wonder if Intel is spec’ing these too high to win benchmark wars at the cost of stability.
Although if it’s just Warframe crashing perhaps the software itself isn’t well optimized for Intel’s big/little core setup on the newer 13th and 14th generation chips (performance and efficiency cores - supposed to be handled by the OS but with gaming all bets are off)
> Also, with a license like this it's not accurate to say "Paramount - an Open Source package..." - that's a misuse of the term.
It’s not free and open source software (FOSS) that’s for sure. The GPL can’t be used like this, were it so simple plenty of others like Redis or Elasticsearch would have done so. This license is worse than no license.
i got caught up in this B.S… literally got the rate locked T-Mobile account because of lifetime rate lock. then last year they sent me “opt-out” notification that my guaranteed rate was increasing unless I send a certified letter or some stupid shit. I dumped them the next week because i don’t have time in my life to play fuck-fuck games with shady companies. I hope there’s a class action lawsuit, I would gladly get on board.
The fundamental problem here is that courts bend over backwards to allow fine print that contradicts the plain reading of how advertisements and services and presented. Unfortunately, the only way it's ever going to change in the US is if somehow a Supreme Court is appointed that's far less business-friendly than it has been in possibly ever.
I'd be more fine with companies behaving like a swarm of locusts if they at least had to put on the box the ways they were going to fuck you over. A monkey's paw printer should have to prominently display "Proprietary ink only! Scanner disables itself when ink is low. While supplies last" on the front.
Espionage is not necessarily done with malicious intent if it’s for the good of the country, right? Doesn’t justify trampling peoples’ human rights in any particular instance tho
MKULTRA was some overprivileged Ivy League frat douchebags with security clearances playing God with drugs and prostitutes, not really espionage in my book.
Espionage against citizens in violation of the constitution is immoral, but spying on other countries is fair game. It’s a huge part of U.S. military dominance.
MKULTRA was nominally for the purposes of information extraction from unwilling targets, creating sleeper agents, and blackmailing/brainwashing foreign citizens/adversaries.
And was done by the CIA.
And while in hindsight it was pretty dubious if it was going to be effective, given the mindset and knowledge of the time? Plausible.
It fits under the umbrella of dirty tricks well enough to hang it at the feet of espionage to me. It was certainly gov’t sanctioned (by some definition). What else are we going to call it? ‘Frat boys misbehaving’ doesn’t give it the proper weight.
