The exploit was always there, you just didn't know about it, but attackers might have. The only thing that changed is that you're now aware that there's a vulnerability.

Try doing it without any sort of data connection, where the phone can't ask the carrier to deprovision the esim.

Base M4 was already slightly outperforming the M2 Max in CPU. GPU-wise it's nowhere near close.

The fascist government won't need you to enable tracking, they can have the corporation that makes your OS silently gather it and give it to them, or simply have the phone carrier do it, again silently to the one carrying the device.

We're already all carrying a tracking device with us, willingly.

Once computers and AIs can approach even a small fraction of the our capacity then sure, only cameras is fine, it's a shame that our suite of camera data processing equipment is so far beyond our understanding that we don't even have models of how it might work at its core.

Even at that point, why would you possibly use only cameras though, when you can get far better data by using multiple complementary systems? Humans still crash plenty often, in large part because of how limited our "camera" system can be.

Amazon has a big one too. I also know of a popular one called Aptoide.

In what way is not being social a successful strategy for reproduction nowadays?

If anything chromossomes would be the key determinant of sex, not gender. But even that's not how we attribute sex: biologically sex is attributed by the capacity to generate small or big gamete, which means that someone who doesn't produce either type, such as a child or elderly person has no sex.

Having and X or Y (or even multiple of each, as some people do, XXY and XYY are real, even single X or Y too) is binary, what's not binary is how it doesn't perfectly correlate with the sex (not even getting into gender here) that the person in question belongs to.

Not just SE Asia: In Europe I can go buy a Dacia Sandero for 14k€ right now (about $16500) and that includes 23% VAT.

I hate to sound preachy so I apologize if I'm coming off like that but if someone's relationship with the internet is so bad that being put in a situation where being forced to stay off it is seen as a positive, perhaps the whole relationship should be taken a hard look at?

Even if it did prevent 10% of suicides by train, it stands to reason that a huge portion of those 10% would simply become suicides by jumping off a bridge.

Taking a fast train is significantly faster than driving. On short and medium trips they're even competitive with flying, if you factor the time it takes to get to/from the airport and associated lead time associated with airports vs showing within 5-10 minutes of departure right at the city centre.
