  • These are the questions we need to keep putting out there so the law can finally catch up to the monotony of license agreements and terms.

    It shouldn't be acceptable to present a layman with a 10 page legal jargon document for them to agree to and call it binding.

  • I know this is supposed to be humorous, but there's a reason why these languages can, and are doing what they're doing.

    Core dumps are also worth learning about, they're really helpful if you understand them.

  • Coward ass Nintendo going after smart people putting in good work instead of actually giving people a reason to buy their shit.

    More and more these architectures are thinly veiled PCs anyway. Sony saw the writing on the wall and started porting to PC.

    Adapt or fuck off, Nintendo

  • I might be wrong here but to me it reads like they're investing in projects that will eventually enable the removal of the dams.

    I don't know much about the issue, but playing devils advocate, it may be the case that removing the dam would hurt too many people in the short or intermediate term.

    The again, if it just hurts business like data center owners, then it's a hollow victory.

  • If you've ever worked at one of these big companies with fancy buildings, it's interesting that in the end, they're the same depressing row after row of cubicles, or "shared working spaces"

    The architecture might look neat outside and upfront, but otherwise it's just sad and boring inside the actual working area.

    Big thing about RTO is that these places just suck to be at. Quality of workspaces have been going down for years as they try to cram more and more people into less space.

    We finally get a reckoning that a lot of people can just work from home and the economy won't blow up, but instead, rich folks want people back in the torture zones.

  • I think this is the correct response though, it's absurd and a symptom of how these generative models work.

    The discussion should highlight for people that these models can be, and often turns are, wrong. There's not a mechanism to verify factuality or accuracy, and you shouldn't expect as much.

    Instead, this group of people go into the ol playbook and pull out "wow, minorities are being forced on me again!" Generating these silly conspiracies and manufactured outrage.

    Chill, it's funny, laugh. Seeing minorities in something shouldnt be the reason (or the example) for outrage.

  • For those that don't know, theres a tab in Windows task manager called Startup that let's you modify what apps get started when you log in.

    You can also look at the services.msc tool and check all your startup services.

  • These doofuses at Ford can't seem to trace slow sales to absurd price hikes. The lightning was the electric truck that made sense all the way up until it didn't. Now it's back the the drawing board.

    I'm for what we gotta do to get off gas and weaken that oil money, but I wish these manufacturers would stop pretending like they didn't know what the problem was.

  • Platforms like YouTube and Reddit have the fundamental issue that they feel entitled to incredible amounts of money for serving content they didn't create. They make lots off money off the back of creators, then find new and malicious ways to be a platform that's just painful to be on.

    I disabled watch and search history on my Google accounts (recommend everyone do that), and now there's this passive aggressive blank home page when I open YouTube as if that's the best experience they could come up with. Don't show me content I'm subscribed to or anything, just a blank page like fuck you.

    There should be a way for creators like the author here to be compensated, while the platform gets a fair cut for hosting it and making it easy to find the content you want. Google, across all their platforms, has forgotten that getting people to the right content was what made them the best platform in the past. Instead, it's forcing you through a swath of shit you don't want, in hopes they make more ad revenue.

    Fuck the decision makers at these platforms.

  • You would also get several prompts asking if you want to do this, both from Windows under UAC (by default, even if you can escalate), the Android driver, and the phone itself. It's rarely the case now that Windows users execute privileged actions without notification, but it's possible.

    I don't want to discourage people testing ways to compromise security for the good of everyone, but this is a well known vector and a lot of jumps have to succeed to give the attacker value.

    You can cut down a lot of room for failure by just using a rubber ducky USB instead. It doesnt have to be an Android phone. Even then, there's more than a few controls in the way.
