Engineering attracts a certain kind of clueless person with no common sense. I was staying at a friend's house once as a kid and his father, who was an engineer, was trying to pull down a living tree with a big cable attached to the hitch of his truck. I could see like three ways this could kill him and I was like 15.
Aside from being a loud mouthed lib and talking over the other, funnier hosts, what did Liam do? Or does that pretty much cover it? I've heard a lot of people talk about disliking him.

Google is pushing for websites to implement this software that talks to your TPM (trusted platform) chip on your computer and has it attest to the state of your web stack. Then, the website gets to decide if that's okay and can deny you access if there's any "funny business" such as ad blockers installed, or you're using a browser they don't like, or maybe even running an os they don't like. We'll almost certainly find ways around it for a while, but it's going to get better (for them, worse for you)
Capitalism news website: Oh no China is buying things!
I thought you capitalists loved that shit??!?
Exactly, you buy another laptop and the first one goes in the waste bin or some "recycling center" where they just stack up laptops in a warehouse and never "recycle" shit.
They didn't very much care about not doing effectively planned obsolescence either. It's one of those things where they could have, I don't know, a program where you have to call the company to have it unlocked, and maybe they make you wait 2 weeks to prevent against an "evil maid" style attack? Maybe it gives you a scary message when you boot it from then on like chrome OS does.
If you still wanted to do an evil maid attack, and you were very committed, you could still just buy another of the same model of laptop, set up your rootkits or whatever else, then stuff the new guts in the old computer.
I think this is on their eventual roadmap, somewhere just after not allowing anyone to log in without a verified WEI check for """"security""""
Then you can stop all the YouTube rehosting sites like piped by baking in little 1 pixel changes that uniquely identify the account that ripped the video. Netflix and others will do this as well too try to stop piracy.
They're going to go scorched earth on this, I just know it. The Internet will become as bad as cable was and this is the turning point.
Too far, it got reddit now >:c
Instead of upbearing a post, just reply "Upbeared so much lol!" or "this!!!"
Agreed, and the other two can already be reactionary enough on their own sometimes.
I guess I just have my lib-filter dialed in, tuning out all but the most egregious examples. I don't expect much more from podcasts.
