#Technically

2025-11-24

Tech companies are crying that Americans aren't buying new phones fast enough to keep the economy stimulated. Wages have been stagnant for, what, 44 years and you've got the gall to keep raising prices and cry we're not buying enough?

I don't think you should reward this shit with a click but, in case you must, I've got a barely tweaked URL to save you the trouble I already spent looking up the article.

The Bottom Line

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy

Key Points

Americans are hanging onto their smartphones for much longer than they did a decade ago, but new releases like Apple’s iPhone 17 can entice consumers to upgrade.

Businesses tend to hang onto their devices even longer than individual consumers, especially overseas.

While it may seem to be a smart money move, it can result in a costly productivity and innovation lag for the economy.

@kurushimi @cm0002 From what I understand, Kent Overstreet has attempted to circumvent the release cycle by adding #features to an #RC, which was the final straw. #Linus (Torvalds) has warned him repeatedly, but it wasn’t just him. Based on a comment I read from one of the #kernel #developers, his repeated #antics made it considerably more #difficult for them to complete their #work. So while #technically you might be right, it’s not that simple.

Cybersecurity programs often fail not because they’re technically unsound, but because they’re emotionally misaligned with the people they aim to protect. Too many leaders focus on technical solutions while neglecting the human systems that operate and interact with those tools. If...

Иногда LLM хочется просто обнять и пожать руку за ответ.

There is a big truck on the highway
that won't get the fuck out of my way
If I were Kenobi
I'd slip past this slowbie
Instead, I'll be here until Friday

I don't really like my new profile picture, even if it's way more seasonally apropriate than my last one. it'll probably change soon again. I do however like the new profile banner thingie whatever it's called. Here's the whole pic, not cut down to banner size 🙂

Cybersecurity is one of the most technically advanced and rapidly evolving sectors in the world. With its arsenal of tools, frameworks, and protocols, it plays a vital role in protecting organizations from data breaches, insider threats, and cyber warfare. But despite all the innovation...

A criminal thug guy bleeding on the street, his empty revolver falling from his dying hand. The last thing he sees is a vaguely rectangular figure, frosting covering nearly all of its front, three holes through its torso oozing strawberry goo, apparently with no effect on the creature. The last thing he hears: "You picked the wrong tart to pop, asshole."

Those were the worst dumplings of my life. About the only redeeming quality is the space they've freed from my freezer. #food #IGuess #technically

@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization

The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.

#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.

I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.

The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.

So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence

Thirty years ago I felt that had give up my career in #electricalengineering because I couldn't find work as a #blackman. #hamradio helped me stay active #technically during those decades and satisfy my innate #curiosity while I was struggling to keep employed because of #agism & #racism. I've recently been given a chance with @nrao_hamradio to reconnect with my former #career and so far it's been thrilling. #AmateurRadio
