In Pandora's Star they had this. Also unless you were just vaporized they could dig the memory hardware out of your head. Then they could restore everything up to the last second. The police would get the relevant death parts to look for the murderer. You would remember everything up to turning down the dark alley then waking up in a clone later.

You think these bots are streaming movies and music? 73% of Internet traffic is not bots. It's all YouTube, Netflix, Insta, TikTok, Spotify, etc media consumption. 73% of login traffic may be bots, but it's a teeny drop of global traffic.
The headline stat is a misinterpretation of the study which was done by Arkose Labs which "provides businesses with lasting bot prevention and account security by sapping the financial motivations of cybercriminals."
That's pretty vague but skimming it sounds like they prevent automated account creation and takeover. The stat comes from the companies they have access to (who need bot protection enough to pay for it), and 76% of activity on the login/account creation was malicious. That makes a lot more sense. All the various hacks and credential leaks result in bots banging in stolen credentials on high value sites.
They may be hoping for an interest rate drop so that overpriced cars are feasible again. The rate hikes definitely put a kink in their "overcharge early adopters" plan.
You need an encrypted cloud copy. 3-2-1 backup with duply to wasabi (AWS bucket-like). Otherwise you're hosed if you have a fire/tornado/theft/etc.
Daemon and Freedom(TM) by Daniel Suarez is sort of in this ballpark. Also Kill Decision by him is maybe a bit closer to the movie you saw.
Yeah, if I'm reading that right they're complaining that they're stuck at phase one of enshitification - lose money on aquiring users. The reason behind that is they're not able to monopolize the market for their games. "These damn mobile stores won't let us turn the corner and put the clamps on our users. Fix it please."
It's more like "Why are you smoking cigarettes, stop buying cigarettes." It's addictive, well marketed and cool, and totally avoidable with some self discipline.
I wouldn't joke about people with an actual illness by telling them to toughen up, but we're not talking about that.
Why not get a phone that can take, send, and receive pictures and video. It would also have maps, GPS, encrypted messaging, streaming music, audiobooks, e-books, home automation apps, ride hailing, food ordering, decent browser, etc.
Then, stay with me here, don't install social media apps. The lengths people go to so they can avoid social media when it is extremely avoidable is crazy to me.
Speaker Mike Johnson wanted to criminalize sodomy & called gay marriage the “harbinger of chaos”
This has happened like 100 times. Self loathing gay conservatives are the most anti-gay of them all.
Misleading title. The article headline isn't much better. They shot into the air, the title makes it sound like they went on a killing spree.
They did tell everyone they were going to die before emptying their gun into the air. They'd clearly lost their damn mind and this probably traumatized a bunch of kids. Throw the book at them by all means.
The title is bullshit though.
Yeah. Surprisingly realistic hair and everything else looks pretty normal then THE EYES.
