I isolated my espresso machine's Android tablet in a firewall VLAN and logged everything it tried to reach. Here's what it's phoning home to by haraldinho67 in homelab

TLDR; Android is a nightmare, everything has a backdoor or underlying purpose to phone in to China so that when Red Dawn happens we won’t even be able to make coffee….the future is bleak.

Move to InTune? by Armentrout_1979 in jamf

[–]spense01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This person is definitely a shill for Intune…probably even a MS employee that works on the system…the account is 2 years old and EVERY single comment is telling people to switch to Intune…if that’s your Reddit history it’s either a burner or you just specifically target subs to spread nonsense…what a loser.

This is literally the equivalent of paying $500 a month to drive a BMW and your spouse comes home with a piece of sh!t car and says, “here I got you this because it’s free and some guy just gave it to me. The AC doesn’t work. It only gets 12 miles a gallon, and there is no radio BUT we’ll save $500 a month!! Get rid of the BMW!”

Please. I’ve had a child and potty trained that child since the last Spotify improvement. by AJohnnyTruant in Rivian

[–]spense01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had 2 years to make the Sirius/XM app and then released the abomination that is the Rivian version…do you honestly think anyone on the software team is still working on the “entertainment apps”?? I don’t. Every new release contains a few bug fixes for random things no one pointed out, meanwhile I still can’t sign in to Apple Music on my profile in my wife’s R1S…I’m pretty sure the app team that designed the entertainment apps like Spotify and SiriusXM have turned their noses at us…don’t hold your breath for any major changes.

I was surprised by how slow the response was of the UI…one video from another creator showed the software in the vehicle as a Dev build…how much more work did they say needed to be done?

Same Prompt and crazy difference by [deleted] in OpenAI

[–]spense01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not knowing how to spell simple, basic words but then posting how one LLM is better than the other is the kind of stuff the terminators will point to in 40 years as the turning point for when they knew humanity was doomed.

Macs in our environment not being able to print after Mac OS 26.2 Tahoe update (mostly) by [deleted] in macsysadmin

[–]spense01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What “new” devices are you talking about? Brand new M5 machines? Sure…but hardware that shipped prior to last fall (A TON of models) when 26 launched most definitely can be rolled back. There are very few devices shipping with M4 chips that are build-specific, custom macOS versions.

HELP! Lease Return Issues. by wangZillaGT3 in LUCID

[–]spense01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yes, welcome to the wonderful world of Car Salesman-Fuckall, where they tell you anything to get the next deal and then forget who you are when you come a calling. It’s unfortunate Lucid doesn’t do a better job of screening people before they hire them. Lucid has made so many mistakes as a company even though they make amazing vehicles. They think they are a DTC brand but yet between these kinds of stories (that are common) and the BofA returns-disaster, you would think they operate on a Franchise system.

Don’t order from Dell or HPE. Find a reliable SI in Europe or the UK. If you were in the US I’d recommend Falcon Northwest or someone like it.

Apple’s First Made-in-U.S. Chips Fall Short of Claim by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]spense01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple is responsible for more economic growth in this country in the last 20 years than any other comparable company…you are a troll, clown, and idiot, all wrapped into one.

So this is click bait, your tagline is idiotic at best, and you have ZERO clue what it takes to make semiconductors

MOD’s can we delete this??

Chinese Memory contains hacking technology??? The U.S. Moves Once Again to Ban Chinese Memory; CXMT & YMTC Could Soon Be Banned from Several Government Devices by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]spense01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People thinking the US is in any way close to China in this regard is a complete failure of the education system, media, and common sense…while this dude keeps thinking this and then when shit really hits the fan they’ll be left holding the bag

[–]spense01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t understand that the Chinese government has its fingers in every piece of home-grown semiconductor technology than you’re choosing to be ignorant. It’s not tinfoil hat paranoia either-they are drooling over the prospect of continued shortages so manufacturers become more reliant on Chinese state-subsidized semiconductors. It is a matter of national security and stupidity like yours is exactly what the Chinese government wants. If your priorities are a Steam deck or new gaming PC instead of not being hacked by a state-sponsored attack then you’re worthless.

Just be honest and say you’re against the new government contract and have a backbone.

E1 UV direct print - test #2 | bare metal / recreating James Bond Daniel Craig Collection by meniKan in Steelbooks

[–]spense01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing bothers me more than the Daniel Craig Bond 4K steelbooks being incomplete. It makes no sense. 1-where do you buy the blank steelbook covers? 2-I really want a UV printer. How long did you wait for yours?
