The AI doesnt understand the former, only the latter.
Do you possibly mean “The AI evangelists” or something similar?
Like, I could totally understand it in the “software will also include the biases of those who wrote it” kind of way (a la Amazon’s failed attempt at automating job candidate search). If the only incentive you’re given as a programmer is “make it make money”, then yeah, your AI is going to bias towards that end.
Just couldn’t tell on first reading
I mean, random NFC tags, I can understand. But, isn’t advising someone to avoid QR codes obsolete by now? It was a pretty worthwhile attack vector at one point, but nowadays most phones will ask “Do you want to <handle> <contents in full>?” before actually doing anything with it…
Although, now that I think about it, it is best practice to advise to the lowest common denominator… Sometimes I overestimate users’ ability to avoid doing stupid things…
Cave Johnson intensifies
There’s probably a better way to do this, but I’ve just started using BLE Radar (F-Droid, Play Store), which can be set up to (among other things) tell you where your phone last saw a particular bluetooth address.
You don’t get the benefit of the tracking network that iPhones, and now Androids, are a part of, and it’s not built into the base system, but it’s FOSS, and your location data stays local.
Billionaire is turbo upsetti that they are forced to pay for something they don’t want to pay for, even if providing that something costs the provider money to provide it to them.
FIFY
I agree that if there was enough space in the recovery partition to begin with, this wouldn’t be a problem, but the user isn’t the party that specified that size or the party that decided to add enough stuff to the recovery partition to exceed that spec.
MS knows that this is a widely-deployed configuration (they deployed it), but they’re going ahead with an automatic update that is incompatible with that configuration anyway, failing to communicate to the user why the failure occurred, and refusing to automate a fix to the thing their automation broke in the first place.
Waow. MS can’t decide if their users should have control of their hardware or not.
Your linux bootloader and efi config? That belongs to Windows, and it will make changes as much as it wants. A recovery partition that has no usefulness outside their own ecosystem? Yeah, they know it’s fucked, and they fucked it, but it’s your computer, you fix it!
I don’t think it’s meant to be driven.
I mean… It’s not even meant to be a vehicle, tbh. It’s an ego trip, status symbol, or virtue signal (pick up to 3) in the form of a vehicle.
The part where it can propel itself and it’s occupants from place to place is, in fact, a bonus feature.
Oh man, I would have learned so much so fast by breaking stuff and having to fix it. It’s how I learned what I know now, just later. This is fantastic
They get paid when the least amount of people they insure use their services. They’re not incentivized to help those they’ve insured. The less they have to pay out to providers, the better the executive bonuses. Thus, they are diligent in collecting premiums, but can just sit on their hands when it comes to paying out.
The more the system denies and delays a claim, the fewer insured people are willing or able to put themselves through the bureaucracy gauntlet, the fewer pay outs.
They’re not in the business of insurance, they’re in the business of making money from the business of insurance. It’s over-complicated on purpose.
My dude. The person you’re replying to said nothing about whether or not they should be able to say what they want. They simply stated their opinion about what they said.
Log off for a bit and work on your reading comprehension.
Running Arch, so not really exposed, but still had a compromised version installed.
Me: fixes exposure to vuln
Also me: grabs popcorn
This is going to be an interesting story once this all quiets down…
I’ll admit I have zero insight and haven’t looked into this, but at first glance, I don’t understand why a desktop environment theme engine is unable to provide enough functionality for theme creators to do their thing without resorting to arbitrary command execution…
I trust KDE devs to address this quickly, but this is a pretty major oversight IMO…
For years, investigators and journalists working for Murdoch’s British tabloids had hacked into the voicemails and emails of royals, politicians and the stars of sports, music, movies and more.
Waaaaaiiiiittttt… I’ve seen this one [before…](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Newsroom_(American_TV_series\))
Protip for those of us that have trouble with telling the difference:
Do you want a solution, or support?
If you struggle with this enough that your partner has taken issue with it, this will show that you’re trying, and that you want to help, even if you don’t know what to do. Can’t express how much this has helped me.
And if the response you get is something along the lines of “You should just know!” Run.
Or is in central Arkansas…
I think this might be a “yes, but no” kind of thing.
Yes, these are test strips. Yes, they change color to indicate a reading. Yes, they use chemical reactions to cause that color change.
AFAIK: No, these aren’t for testing blood. No, these don’t seem to be for consumption by an electronic meter. And no, I don’t think this is what OP was asking about.
Like, there’s probably some good info, but not for this thread specifically :P
