Conspiracy Theory

I have this theory and I want to know what Lainons think about this. After the ID verification being done on a hardware level through the firmware, which you will need a cryptographically signed ID to even boot, there will be several waves of "malware" going around, all targetting old devices, and the vulnerabilities thereof. They will ensure that old devices will be bricked, or at least unusable, so there is no way to make use of old hardware. It will happen over several years and in waves, all of which will be dismissed as some unknown threat actor. Those malware waves could be supply chain attacks, just regular computer viruses, or something else entirely, or different things so the waves don't resemble each other too much, and nobody takes notice. New firmware updates from manufacturers could also include malware, or at least be malicious with the intend to make the device exploitable. This is all to make sure everyone who accesses the Internet does so with his real identity attached. How probable do you think this is? Do you think it's completely outlandish or is this realistic? If this theory could be true, how would you defend against it? Any input or opinion is appreciated.

>>27779 Why would they need to do that? The globohomo uses the web as a tool for BULK surveillance and propaganda of the general public. Most people already run spyware OS's on all their devices, (Windows, IOS, MacOS, vanilla Android), regularly use botnet data-mining web services, and carry a location-broadcasting mobile device on their person. It's not worth their time to go after the tiny minority of the population who aren't easily observed by one or more of the aforementioned methods. If your government was interested in you in particular, they could always simply try to hack you, or take the far more tried and true approach of sending armed goons to ruin your life until you give them what they want. The best part of this arrangement from the state's perspective is that most of the bulk data-collection and profiling is self-funded by the advertisement industry, the glowies just have to float some cash to get the specific info they want. This is all far, FAR simpler & cheaper than some complicated scheme to implement dox-on-boot for every computer in the country. Not even the PRC does this, although they do require most citizens to submit their ID to connect the the internet.

I understand what you mean by this theory and I think its interesting and I'm surprised that it hasn't been done already for other reasons. I think the most important thing to combat is flashing things like Graphene where the devs are schizos for it. Also just not using the internet like everyone else does

>>27780 >Why would they need to do that? >This is all far, FAR simpler & cheaper than some complicated scheme to implement dox-on-boot for every computer in the country Their pockets are bottomless, their greed is psychotic and their cruelty is ruthless. Bricking old hardware is a logical step after they've literally been doing just that with iphones that get progressively slower so that you gotta buy the new one. At the firmware level the code is proprietary which means not auditable thus insecure, and if the CIA ever wished to put backdoors in there, they've already done it. They're also already trying to block people off their services if they don't dox themselves, like crypto and in general financial services, along with every site tracking you and logging everything you do even though it has never been necessary. None of this surveillance is necessary to make money, you can just sell soykaf to people, no need for companies and governments to collaborate to build profiles on every single human being, but they do it anyways, ID verification on the hardware is just another way to scrape off more data and they'll do it the moment the idea crosses their minds (already has). The tiny minority that cares and manages to stay anonymous are the kind of people that pisses them off the most, that's why there's so much propaganda about the dangers of being free to do whatever you want in the internet and trying to convince people to give away their data to "protect children" and stop "hate speech". You might think they'll stop now that they've 'already won', but they will never stop. This stuff is totally worth their time, its literally their job to enslave us as much as possible. Or in short, I don't find it prudent to assume our enemy will be too lazy to fuarrrk us over, or that a (every) billionare corpo won't have the money to do a simple verification system, most of the work goes into lobbying the laws and the tendency is always to control more and more and more so I don't think they'll just pass on the oportunity.

>>27782 >Their pockets are bottomless, their greed is psychotic and their cruelty is ruthless. Sure, but things need a reason to happen. >At the firmware level the code is proprietary Unless you write it, which is what coreboot and its satellite projects were about. You could also control the architecture and RISC, but I don't know what you could productively do with a RISC-V computer or even PowerPC >they've literally been doing just that with iphones that get progressively slower so that you gotta buy the new one So the gov't would mandate what Apple does to the products everyone has? >like crypto and in general financial services You were always supposed to trade crypto amongst the users. Large exchanges spit in the face of this, especially since normals use it for speculation for some damn reason. >None of this surveillance is necessary to make money But there is money to be made, hence I'm sorry anon but this post reads like blind-skepticism pop-privacy vomit written by some LLM trained on YouTube videos. What have you done to prevent this?

>>27783 >but things need a reason to happen. you forget their most important feature, which the previous poster did not mention: they are retarded.

>>27782 >None of this surveillance is necessary to make money You don't understand. The western surveillance system can be as extensive as it is PRECISELY BECAUSE it makes money. Google's truly revolutionary innovation was figuring out how profitably spy on people with targeted advertising. This breakthrough created a whole industry dedicated to collecting data and generating profiles. It would be enormously expensive for a state finance all that infrastructure themselves. I'm not saying that the government WOULDN'T compromise all compute hardware if it was practical to do so; it is simply impractical. Seeing that the PRC, an unapologetic police state with vast resources and more direct control of society, hasn't done it, I think it's reasonable to think it won't be done in the west for the foreseeable future.

>>27785 so you think the surveillance in the West is not as extensive as everybody believes it to be? because nobody knows there is indeed a tendency to jump to conclusions. i'm a truther, concerned about this stuff but just trying to be reasonable. there is such a thing as data metrics profiles on major websites like reddit and facebook of individuals...that is a known fact if i am not mistaken

>>27786 Did you even read my post? Surveillance in the west is largely done by these for-profit commercial enterprises: websites, communications providers, operating system developers, financial services, etc. primarily for the purposes of customer profiling and advertising. The government then purchases or issues a warrant for whatever data it's interested in. While the state is still spying, the mechanisms are run by big business. That's why I think the whole scheme of embedding spyware in every machine as the hardware level isn't particularly likely. It requires the government go to a lot of extra effort when their whole system leverages the businesses to do most of the leg work for them. And all this scheme would accomplish is getting the less then one percent of the population that isn't being watched any of their OS, phone, credit card, or web traffic, but still also uses a computer. The idea that the globohomo is trying to make every computer dox the user is outlandish because it's so obviously a wildly inefficient use of resources to cover a tiny gap in surveillance. Even countries that do force users to tie their dox to their internet traffic, do so at the network and service level, not the device itself.

>>27796 i don't quite think it's safe to trust any technological hocus pocus...perhaps use it as a means to an end, yes...but trust, i'd say not

Only way to prevent it is stop the politicians and religious backed NGOs that push for this soykaf. It basically is a move to make it impossible for whistleblowers and journalists to operate.

I kept repeating it, I keep repeating it, and I will keep repeating it: the only way out of tech-slavery is *SELF-PRODUCED OPEN-SOURCE HARDWARE*. Making privacy *software* is just delaying the inevitable. What we should start making is privacy *hardware*. >>27779 >how would you defend against it? For starters, your could learn from these guys: https://docs.hackerfab.org/home

>>27814 Its too bad riscv is all chinkshit and not really feasible for anything that takes any kind of computing power (yet)

>>27781 >n-no don't flash grapheme, Micay and co are all SCHIZOS >if you use his os you'll be a SHIZO too >you don't want to be WEIRD, do you lainon? >nobody will have SEX with you if you're WEIRD I have other women to ignore, pureesu leavu

>>27889 You clearly have some issues going on , consider walking outside your house and looking at the clouds and feeling the grass. All I mentioned was GrapheneOS for a phone because the people who develop it are security minded >schizos Meant that in a positive context , go back into your hole now.

Sometimes things just are exactly what they look like and are intended to achieve the goal of the exact thing that they do. The cabal of Satanic pedophiles in charge of the United States have decided to mandate that all operating systems become infallible child locators. No need to overcomplicate it. Your local congressman just wants to be sure he's messaging an actual child instead of an involved parent. Maybe they might also be rubbing their hands (both together and against their genitals) at the prospect of transitioning this into becoming flawless child identifiers tied to all of the personal information necessary to blackmail said children into online funtimes. But that's not necessary.

>>27779 I don't see them going beyond the OS level and doing a self-verification where they just have you enter a date at installation, but if they do actually introduce it at the hardware level down the line and make you provide some kind of state ID then hopefully open source firmware becomes more prevalent. It's already a huge attack vector for government agencies to target and needs to be addressed eventually.

This isn't really a conspiracy theory just a concern of a possible conspiracy. However I heard that Anthropic had an AI that searches for software vulnerabilities that they claimed was too good at finding vulnerabilities to be released to the public, and they got a government contract. We need to stop these companies from even existing to save ourselves.

>there will be several waves of "malware" going around, all targetting old devices, and the vulnerabilities thereof. Even more folks are already looking into breaking win10 ever since it reach EoL. Like vultures picking of the meats from the bones. You don't need to look too far to see its future. WinXP is basically a dead horse the picosecond you connect it to the internet without any modifications. Just as is. The machine gets breached so quickly. All this to say, this is part of the life cycle of old machines running old EoL software. Get off of old unsupported software that doesn't meet your minimum standards. Go Gentoo if you REALLY have to. >New firmware updates from manufacturers could also include malware This is more plausible to me. Future updates needing to comply with the new regulations, they won't necessarily brick the device. They'll just make it unusable until the user "cooperates to help the machine comply with regulations". >How probable do you think this is? Eh. Too much effort to do it at the hardware level. If you keep a close eye on the law making around these regulations, the companies are playing hot potato on who's going to implement these regulations. The social media companies don't want to. The OS companies don't want to, either. Pretty much nobody wants to do it. It's amusing to watch, and maddening! They know there's money to be made from collecting all the information, but they don't want the burden of being caught profiteering from it. Especially since all these regulations are presented for "muh kids!". And they all know that there's no real reason to do this that isn't for profit or surveillance. Really hope this trend dies. I wanna go back to posting "nobody knows you're a dog" soon...

>>27779 > there will be several waves of "malware" going around, all targetting old devices, >New firmware updates from manufacturers could also include malware, or at least be malicious with the intend to make the device exploitable. >How probable do you think this is? Do you think it's completely outlandish or is this realistic? Well for starters the fact that NVRAM exists and can't be cleared by removing the CMOS in modern UEFI systems. TPM and secure boot being pushed more. Stupid modules that add attack surface like CompuTrace/Absolute now the standard lol I would say its not conspiracy here.

welp. https://www.techspot.com/news/112359-goodbye-burner-phones-fcc-robocall-plan-raises-privacy.html

I think this theory is already happening. Many hackers work for state actors, many hackers are state actors themselves, even from your own country. Once they make old hardware unusable, the state will spy on you, prevent you from doing the things you want to do freely, and attempt to turn the internet into a propaganda machine like cable TV. >>27782 Is it not possible to hack into locked down hardware? It should be. Assembly and reverse engineering have worked on models previously considered 'secure" (like the xbox 360). If the CIA puts in surveillance soykaf, you can just take control of it and use it to your advantage. I've been thinking of controlling the intel ME.

>>27996 It is like kicking dead whales down the beach, but the internet is already a propaganda machine. Consider the top 5 websites of the average normal person. Do you really consider any of that "organic"? Even chans are susceptible to algorithmic manipulation, except externally. Do you *really* think your favourite watering hole is safe? The tools and techniques were always known, now they scale. also, locked down or not, if tools are progressively squeezed out, there will be a hole in capability that can only grow. >>27909 If you've ever used the coding agents or even self-hosted, you'll see how transparently bullshit those claims are. There is a constant and consistent overpromising of ai's capabilities. It always under-delivers, and serves as an excuse to deskill pions and further cut workers a more raw deal. Most ai startups go under immediately, and the rest are hawking goods unsuitable for use. >>27780 The world mostly runs a small set of monocultures. Compromise one of a tiny few set of nodes, and you can capture a huge majority of machines. Stuxnet was just the very beginning. ID being pushed to protect "kids" is funny coming from the Epstein class. Oh no, the children might write code. Ironically this is just the nanny state inserting itself where parents belong. The breeders ultimately bear responsibility, but defer to a naked powergrab rather than be accountable. Basically all the adults have become overgrown children themselves. Notice how many over 25s have an engrossment with fantasy? The literacy rate is dropping too, the children being reared are functionally retarded.

>>27997 It may overpromise and under deliver but it does deliver all the same. AI isn't going to magically discover vulnerabilities where a smart careful person couldn't, but from my use of it Im sure it could be used to help a savvy person dig around for vulnerabilities faster and help less savvy people build vulnerable projects faster still.

>>27997 It isn't really a nanny state situation since so called "children" are always used as a scapegoat because they either are too young to speak for themselves or they are able to but society has been trained to not listen to anyone under 18 and increasingly this is being upped to 25 by using pseudo science and witch hunts as a psyop. It is about complete power and control over the populous for profits of the data harvesting and school to prison pipeline.

Some of these laws are adding open source exception. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/05/colorado-and-california-age-verification-bills-exempt-open-source-operating-systems/ Though, there's still national laws that may not include such, and nothing stopping websites from blocking PCs that don't send whatever 'signal' or one that isn't validated.

>>28001 >it delivers nonetheless it only delivers leverage over workers. the craftsmanship of the output is entirely missing

>>28005 >only deliveres leverage over workers Im sorry what ? I've personally interacted with software that probably wouldn't have existed period without AI, I know people who do substantial amount of work with AI. What even is craftsmanship ? AI does get things done. Sometimes in a soykaffy fashion and usually with a lot of shepherding, but it does get things done.

>>28009 >i buy into propaganda ok. good luck out there.

>>28010 thanks Ill need it lol everything I said was literally true btw

>>28009 >why should I care that all the tools I can buy are cheap and soykafty and break immediately? They're affordable!

>>27997 >If you've ever used the coding agents or even self-hosted, you'll see how transparently bullshit those claims are. There is a constant and consistent overpromising of ai's capabilities. It always under-delivers, and serves as an excuse to deskill pions and further cut workers a more raw deal. Most ai startups go under immediately, and the rest are hawking goods unsuitable for use. Forgot to reply to this before. I know the claims were absolute bullshit to get more investors but it still is very concerning how governments are investing billions into these companies helping keep them afloat and they may start actually getting good but even when they are bad they cause all sorts of hazards due to false positives. People's lives are in danger from object recognition technology mainly.

>>28021 >>27997 AI has helped me with alot of cybersecurity research and hardware research. I couldn't be bothered to skim through three pages worth of bullshit on search engines and waste hours trying to find an answer to a simple question. They aren't entirely useless, especially if you feed them the right articles and program them properly. I've been tempted to hoard a bunch of electronics specifically for this purpose, but idk yet

>>28021 >its not worth it to invest in something that may actually get really good with enough work and also has immediate weapons applications ???

>>28023 I have a bridge for you to invest in.

>>27779 Highly unlikely: bricking a core 2 duo is hard so is bricking a core i7 Besides, "After the ID verification being done on a hardware level", there will be a market for small funny companies that provide you with used goods. Just keep boycottng glittertactics of the bitten A that allows bricking corpo McLaptops

>>28051 >there will be a market for small funny companies that provide you with used goods. Until it becomes illegal shortly after. >the bitten A Do you mean Apple? They were originally opposing the age verification laws then flipped on it. Probably can get them to flip back and go against it if there is enough people outcrying to them, then we'd would have a big company helping defend against these laws with their money if they cave like they have before after outcry.

>>28054 sharing music for free on the internet has been illegal for decades.

>>28055 Digital files is not the same as an actual physical market. It is a lot more difficult to hide something physical.

>>28064 Better example: selling drugs has been illegal for decades.

>>28065 There is an immense population-level demand for drugs which includes presidential candidate Kamala Harris laughing about smoking weed shortly before launching a legal career prosecuting weed smokers and this being publicly acceptable. There is not an immense population-level demand for 3d printers capable of producing guns. The criminalization of 3d printers capable of producing functional guns will simply eliminate 3d printers capable of producing guns. There is not an immense population-level demand for 3d printers capable of producing organ complexes from appropriate cell cultures. The criminalization of bioprinters will simply result in the elimination of bioprinters. Neither of these technologies are currently useful in the way that drugs are useful, and the threat of a rogue biohacker performing medicine without a license and giving himself infectious cancerAIDS by trying to bioprint a penis extension is too great for politics to long ignore. Hardware level ID verification is not something that will produce a market that demands consumer property rights. The consumer has never demanded and enforced personal property rights in the past. Zero consumers will print functional guns and biocultured penis extensions to take down the man. A criminal market can only be sustained with the circulation of money. There are no rogue VHS pirates circulating MST3K tapes on the street. The street will not save anyone. That is cyberpunk fantasy.

>>27779 >How probable do you think this is? Certain. >some unknown threat actor Very likely the same threat actor behind a lot of other conspiracies, like with Epstein. >firmware updates from manufacturers could also include malware The globalist financial sector will make sure of it.

>>28074 OK so are you willing to bet $200 that by the year 2030 you will need biometric signature to boot any new laptop, enforced at the hardware level ?

in theory, to defend you should just install linux and read changelog before every update. i think the only firmware update you can do on pc is mobo firmware update, which is not done often. that leaves a ton of mobos or other pc hardware still usable despite the malware waves. even if we assume that firmware is poisoned since some time, there will always be some hardware that is unaffected, because its firmware wasn't updated. given enough time every usable unaffected hardware would become unusable due to various reasons.. but the problem is that people will fight against the plan if it happens. the plan as it is now has too many holes and first move against it will be too easy. people won't even need to hack the new firmware, going to the basement and rummaging through computer junk will be enough. and once people establish means to contact each other, it will be over for the whole plan, because efforts against it will grow. it's not possible to execute the plan suddenly and uniformly across all hardware. could the perpetrators still fight and win despite that? yes, but since we are talking about cyberpunk warfare of perpetrators vs people spanning years, they won't find it compelling to initiate.

>>28070 >There is not an immense population-level demand for 3d printers capable of producing guns. where the fuarrrk did we get to 3d-printing guns from? There is TREMENDOUS demand for porn, video games, social media, pretty much all the things that teenagers are currently being derezzed from. Also, there are many drugs where there is *not* a large population-level demand. The vast majority of people are uninterested in taking LSD, yet it is cheap and widely available. Burner phones are pretty much only useful for criminals, and they are still available. >The criminalization of 3d printers capable of producing functional guns will simply eliminate 3d printers capable of producing guns. Pretty much any 3d printer capable of producing something useful is capable of producing guns. So either 3d printers will become completely useless, or people will be able to mod them to make them allowed to produce guns. >Neither of these technologies are currently useful in the way that drugs are useful I disagree. >The consumer has never demanded and enforced personal property rights in the past. Remember when Microsoft tried to lock people out of installing their own OS? Or when cryptography was export-controlled? Or when John Deere tractors came with DRM? Or when they made it illegal to convert semi-auto guns to full-auto? Did that mean nobody tried or distributed methods to get around it? "The consumer" never cared, because "the consumer" is an apathetic imbicile. Not everyone who tries to buy something is a consumer, and a lack of mainstream appeal does not mean a market cannot exist. >There are no rogue VHS pirates circulating MST3K tapes on the street. We're literally in a golden age of media piracy, and you make this statement.

>>27785 And this is why most of these projects are nothing more than fronts for funds that come from within the government, which itself is the intermediary used for tribally minded private interests. >>27796 Which is why advertising is unthinkable in the current society and why branding is spread everywhere, to get people used to belong to the brand and have themselves profiled every second with a grin on their faces. Tell me, don't you think that the only way out of this is not to simply destroy technology to push it back to a level where all this dystopian spying could at least be killed? >>27895 >The cabal of Satanic pedophiles in charge of the United States have decided to mandate that all operating systems become infallible child locators. No need to overcomplicate it. Your local congressman just wants to be sure he's messaging an actual child instead of an involved parent. This. All it takes to revert the narrative is to accept that those who claim to be good are in fact evil. >>27908 >I don't see them going beyond the OS level and doing a self-verification where they just have you enter a date at installation, but if they do actually introduce it at the hardware level down the line and make you provide some kind of state ID then hopefully open source firmware becomes more prevalent. They will fight against it and find ways to argue that it allows pedies to do nasty things as only the gubmint can protect people efficiently. >>27909 We can't even evade them because we're forced to use electronics everywhere. >>27955 >>Carriers could be forced to collect government ID and other personal data before activating service Literally checking for your biometrics just so you can say hi on the phone. >>27996 >I think this theory is already happening. Many hackers work for state actors, many hackers are state actors themselves, even from your own country. Once they make old hardware unusable, the state will spy on you, prevent you from doing the things you want to do freely, and attempt to turn the internet into a propaganda machine like cable TV. I wish the freedom hackers had grown in numbers. >>27997 >If you've ever used the coding agents or even self-hosted, you'll see how transparently bullshit those claims are. There is a constant and consistent overpromising of ai's capabilities. It always under-delivers, and serves as an excuse to deskill pions and further cut workers a more raw deal. Most ai startups go under immediately, and the rest are hawking goods unsuitable for use. Altman hates when people start talking about ROI. Of course if we look at AI from the perspective of business we miss the point of it. It never was meant to serve people or the majority of businesses. >Stuxnet was just the very beginning. It appears Stuxnet needs a hardware support already built and localized first, or some kind of backdoor that's been installed too. Stuxnet can't just come to a system, do hippity hippoto and take control of surveillance control systems in plants. >>28022 When used as a super powered search engine that reorganizes the data in a readable and slightly interpretative manner, it does wonders. But it also makes mistakes, hits limits, and provides nothing useful for when creativity is required. At best it can help you fill a few holes if the tool is properly guided. >>28070 >There is an immense population-level demand for drugs From destitute people mostly. I think we would easily find out that most of that potential customer base would rather have a good life that is fulfilling instead of having to consume crack to keep moving with a fake and cold smile on their jaded faces. >There is not an immense population-level demand for 3d printers capable of producing guns. Yet. >The criminalization of 3d printers capable of producing functional guns will simply eliminate 3d printers capable of producing guns. How do you think this could be implemented exactly? A gun can be made of abstract parts from STL files and there's just no way any software, not even an AI, could reliably block the production of such parts without rendering the whole 3D printer bunk. >The consumer has never demanded and enforced personal property rights in the past. Doubtful. You just have to check the social networks to see that people in large parts beg for more personal property rights. Stick your head out of your marxist butthole.

>>27779 Microsoft haven't used that trick to push people into W11, ad that's the people who made virus back when nobody wanted to buy antiviruses. Just make everything new not being compatible and it's a matter of time.

>>28175 >You just have to check the social networks to see that people in large parts beg for more personal property rights. Begging is not a reasonable use of the term 'demand.' Demand can come in two meaningful forms. The first is economic demand, which exists in the form of the exchange of money. This kind of demand would be demonstrated by, say, the purchase of a good at a premium. "The Apple Tax" demonstrates such a premium only exists in technology that promises to limit the user's freedom and to remove consumer rights. The consumer is well aware of the existence and nature of liberty-enhancing alternatives to, say, SmartTVs. Corporations are the only entities willing to actually pay a premium to avoid SmartTV espionage and rights restrictions. Very large corporate bodies including national security critical industrial infrastructure such as petroleum refiners purchase hospitality TVs at significant premiums. Consumers don't, because they do not present demand for liberty enhancing technology. The Insignia-brand dumbTVs were all retired this January because inexpensive dumbTVs have no demand. Only SmartTVs complete with full ACR technology, and extortionately-priced hospitality TVs intended for corporate buyers have demand. The second form of consumer demand is legal demand. For about a year it looked like there might exist legal demand for consumer rights in European Gaming, but in fact no demands materialized. If there were demand, rather than begging, then there would be political consequences for the parties and persons that failed to actualize on that demand. Europe is full of examples of consequences for failure to actualize demand, including the political shifts that occurred in the conservative parties of Britain for failing to actualize demand for reduction in immigration. These consequences have ranged from removal from the European Common Market, which many supporters believed would somehow stop their government from approving work visas from non-European nations, to the splintering factions of fringe right wing parties into a state of frenetic impotence. That's what frustrated political demand looks like. What frustrated political demand does not look like, is, after the EU declares that existing consumer law is sufficient to protect live service games, exactly zero (0) owners of Ubisoft liveservice/singleplayer game The Crew filing legal suit under existing consumer protection law for sale of a service without the legally required notice of when said service would terminate. What we see in consumer rights is, instead, that when a rear brake light goes out in a car, and the owner is legally obligated to replace it or pay a fine upon receipt of a ticket when driving on public roads, if the car's """"owner"""" were to replace said light without using an authorized dealership mechanic who is able to use an authorization key to bind the replacement light to the car's electronics system, then the car manufacturer has the full legal right to disable the car. Such manufacturers have not suffered from the legal consequences of legal demand. There have not been waves of legal suits filed by individual vehicle owners each separately willing to legally demand redress for what would be an outrageous overreach against ownership if these so called owners were to feel their ownership to be of any value. The "Kars4Kids" lawsuit in California was decided over a misplaced donation legally considered worth less than $400, which entirely derezzed the Kars4Kids organization from activities in the most populous state in the US. $400. If consumers were interested in demanding rights rather than begging for them then they would be not only filing formal legal attacks against the Reptilians, some of them would be purchasing the lowest-price version of these offending goods JUST to have a claim that could be taken to court. Just like the Californian who hated the idea of mistakenly donating to Israel so much that he entered lawsuit against Kars4Kids over a junk donation worth less than a Californian minimum-wage weekend. >there's just no way any software, not even an AI, could reliably block the production of such parts without rendering the whole 3D printer bunk. >>28082 >Pretty much any 3d printer capable of producing something useful is capable of producing guns. So either 3d printers will become completely useless Then the printers will be rendered bunk, and completely useless. This will have the additional benefit of supporting conventional businesses and slave labor camps.

>>27782 >iphones that get progressively slower so that you gotta buy the new one. Slight technical digression here. I have observed that with one of my first tablets and with an iPhone I used for work essentially, keeping the more sensitive stuff out of reach. How do they manage to make the OS become slower here and there? Do they throttle something on the hardware side, do they have the software do useless stuff and rely on more checks and calls than necessary, doing the equivalent of a proof of work but being more like pain of waiting? How do they do that? (this also proves that the concept of true ownership evaporated a long time ago in the US)
