    You're better off with a lawyer than without one. I used to work in a court, (not in any particular legal sense, I reset passwords). There was always somebody who came in with that attitude and decided to represent themselves often times when they were guilty as sin. A lawyer was never going to be able to get them off a charge, but maybe they would have been able to get a reduced sentence. Representing yourself is never a good idea because you don't actually know the law, no one does, that's why lawyers are so expensive.

    Thiel taking diligent notes on how to start WWIII. Topics for next year's discussion: •How to rebrand your authoritarian axis. •Deregulating nuclear safety to power AI: How the West finally kicked its fossil fuel habit. •Have the 99% really earned autonomy? •Global organ harvest and the path to immortality for the chosen elite. Nobody wants to call him out bc they've already accepted the future. If anyone in the U.S. actually cared about stopping genocide wouldn't they be demanding the U.S. stop giving billions of dollars in contracts to Palantir, and that any government official investing in genocide be forced to step down?

    I dont use google's search. I am unfortunate enough to have to take part to some extent in its environment but where practical and possible I refuse.

    I really wish their whole lap-dock concept had succeeded. Or at least ran a few more generations, so I could get an upgraded model with USBc

    Forgive me for not explaining better. Here are the terms potentially needing explanation. Provisioning in this case is initial system setup, the kind of stuff you would do manually after a fresh install, but usually implies a regimented and repeatable process. Virtual Machine (VM) snapshots are like a save state in a game, and are often used to reset a virtual machine to a particular known-working condition. Preboot Execution Environment (PXE, aka ‘network boot’) is a network adapter feature that lets you boot a physical machine from a hosted network image rather than the usual installation on locally attached storage. It’s probably tucked away in your BIOS settings, but many computers have the feature since it’s a common requirement in commercial deployments. As with the VM snapshot described above, a PXE image is typically a known-working state that resets on each boot. Non-virtualized means not using hardware virtualization, and I meant specifically not running inside a virtual machine. Local-only means without a network or just not booting from a network-hosted image. Telemetry refers to data collecting functionality. Most software has it. Windows has a lot. Telemetry isn’t necessarily bad since it can, for example, help reveal and resolve bugs and usability problems, but it is easily (and has often been) abused by data-hungry corporations like MS, so disabling it is an advisable precaution. MS = Microsoft OSS = Open Source Software Group policies are administrative settings in Windows that control standards (for stuff like security, power management, licensing, file system and settings access, etc.) for user groups on a machine or network. Most users stick with the defaults but you can edit these yourself for a greater degree of control. Docker lets you run software inside “containers” to isolate them from the rest of the environment, exposing and/or virtualizing just the resources they need to run, and Compose is a related tool for defining one or more of these containers, how they interact, etc. To my knowledge there is no one-to-one equivalent for Windows. Obviously, many of these concepts relate to IT work, as are the use-cases I had in mind, but the software is simple enough for the average user if you just pick one of the premade playbooks. (The Atlas playbook is popular among gamers, for example.) Edit: added explanations for docker and telemetry
