sad part is, Count Binface is not the joke candidate in this matchup.

My apprehensions are fine thanks. You’re just not looking very hard.

On the MRI - per the wikipedia link you posted but may not have read thoroughly. “During the 1970s, a team led by John Mallard built the first full-body MRI scanner at the University of Aberdeen.” I’ll grant I could have been more specific.

If you want to argue invention exists at the point of theory instead of physical creation, then i suspect you will struggle find much that wasn’t posited, theorised, described or conceived in some way before America was colonised.

American exceptionalism is a thing…

I think we have a semantic disagreement there. The world wide web was another term for the global interconnected network also know as the internet. Arpanet wasn’t scalable to the internet until Tim’s work.

But if that’s your only point of dispute with my comment i think we think more in common than we disagree.

Sorry but i dont think America has given the world all that much in he grand scheme of things. 100 years seems an arbitrarily short timeline - even my local pub would be a long way from qualifying for that.

Arpanet was American, leveraging a lot of research, particularly from the UK and France. The internet though? you have the thank a Brit for that; Tim Berners-Lee was responsible for the birth of the interconnected hyperlinked network we called the internet.

The US did however invent many other recent and society altering things like enshittification, the rot economy, surveillance capitalism, felony contempt of business model, fake taxis, fake hotels, the billionaire class, and social media, the privatised prison system and its legalised slave labour force, and Epstein island. I’m sure i could think of more if i put my mind to it.

For some things invented elsewhere you could start in Scotland.
Some of these will predate 1926, but pretty much all are still pretty important in daily life.

Scots invented television, the telephone, mri machines, refrigerators, mammal cloning, penicillin, disposable contact lenses, ATM machines, colour photography, the flushing toilet and the s-bend that stops it stinking, hypodermic syringes, steam engines, fingerprinting, vacuum flasks, pneumatic tyres, tarmac, and lightbulbs.

They killed assistant and claimed the unwilling transfer as growth. Shitty journalism or a shitty headline? Either way bad …

To exploit and profit from people’s biases.

Never cared for achievements on any platform, just ignored them and played games. I can admire what RA have done without having the slightest desire to participate.

Home had 4 windows machines a year ago. Now 1 windows machine, a raspberry pi, and 4 linux machines… reckon theres still a real move under the data. Ai may be part but its not all or most.

Whether or not you can find someone based on their phone number is based on a user setting. Each person chooses whether or not they can be found by their phone number.
Go to Settings - Privacy - Phone number.

Really though, this is an excuse more than a roadblock.

I find people oddly resistant to an additional message app, yet they gleefully download a new app at every carpark they visit. People are odd.

Border pigs have cellebrite, assume they can access anything left intact.

If it botherw you, wipe it, if it doesnt, you dont really need a duress pin. But login to one profile and cellebrite can get the rest.

And yet, it does matter.

That would be an interesting proposition… under duress load profile x and delete all other profiles, apps, settings and keys.

And thats why you dont travel to countries with ropey regimes

Loading any profile allows the operating system access to root privileges, and opens potential for user privilege escalation.

In order to be convicted of destroying evidence, there needs to be proof that there was “evidence” on the phone in the first place.

If something on the phone is already known without doubt, then what’s the need for access? if there is doubt at the time of the wipe then there is no proof or destroying evidence. 🤷‍♂️

Dont think that would be as secure. Once a phone has been unlocked after reboot, even if it has been locked again, the operating system and ram can be accessed quite easily with the correct tools and border controls have those tools.

Even a Graphene phone is only properly secure before first unlock after reboot. So i would not personally rely on allowing acess to any profile. I would assume its possible, (probably trivial) to gain complete access from there.

Any duress pin use should be covered under a person’s right to avoid self incrimination.

If the phone is owned by your employer and they are the investigation target, then you might be on dodgy ground.

Restored by a dedicated and talented team or with an ai slop regurgitation machine?

I have lots of contempt for their business models. Felonious and otherwise. 😂

No airgap = no containment

In all likelihood, this is a BS piece to make people think the models are intelligent.

If its not, then openai are utterly incompetent and reckless.
