- Comment on Microsoft AI team accidentally leaks 38TB of private company data 1 year ago:
Wiz says that this occurred as a result of an Azure feature called Shared Access Signature (SAS) tokens, which is “a signed URL that grants access to Azure Storage data.”
The URL gave full access to read and write all data in the Azure Storage. This is so obvious a security hole. This “feature” should never be. If you are going to use signed urls, then implement them so that they expire after 24 hours or something.
- Comment on YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star 1 year ago:
Yeah. Here:
amp.theguardian.com/…/a-timeline-of-sexual-assaul…
Of all those claims, these stuck out:
-
a 16 year old in 2006 when he was 30 and gave her instructions to hide from parents. Underage is rape.
-
In 2012 he is accused of raping a woman who was treated in a Rape Treatment Center afterwards.
-
In 2020, there was another 16 year old and evidently his manager believed him at first and then issued a statement saying he was misled and terminated business with him.

- Comment on People Prefer Electric Shocks to Being Alone With Their Thoughts 1 year ago:
I spend most of my time alone with my thoughts and I would prefer it to electric shocks.
- Comment on YouTube suspends Russell Brand from making money off his channel — The suspension comes following the publication of rape and sexual assault allegations against the British star 1 year ago:
I think it’s important to point it out. The other rapist is exalted when he should be getting shut down too.

Trump lost in civil court for what the judge called rape, and still has a rabid fan base.
- Comment on Why do you hate Microsoft? 1 year ago:
Yeah, that’s weird. Outside of Microsoft as a company, Bill Gates has done a lot of good in this world. He isn’t perfect, but he is one of the “better” billionaires (if such a thing exists).
- Comment on Unity reportedly told dev Planned Parenthood and children's hospital are "not valid charities" 1 year ago:
That’s right. It’s not up to Unity to decide the values of a charity.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I was thinking the same thing. They did Riker wrong, haha.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Not against this uniform at all, I must say. Maybe they will bring back the cleavage in the next series.
- Comment on Unity reportedly told dev Planned Parenthood and children's hospital are "not valid charities" 1 year ago:
Planned parenthood I understand due to how it it demonized, but how is a children’s hospital not a valid charity?
- Comment on Facebook's VR Headset Not Selling, Literally Giving It Away 1 year ago:
The Queat sells fine. The Queat Pro is for an audience that doesn’t exist at $1500.
- Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million 1 year ago:
I wish the USA had the options you just posted in rural areas. We pay for broadband expansion out of our taxes and they still won’t expand. It’s sad.
- Comment on SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million 1 year ago:
They haven’t done a great job of marketing it. $100-120 a month isn’t bad and it beats the pants off of all the other satellite internet services.
- Comment on Just because Americans love Google doesn't make it a monopoly. Biden lawsuit goes too far. 1 year ago:
Never heard of that. I will try it.
- Comment on Just because Americans love Google doesn't make it a monopoly. Biden lawsuit goes too far. 1 year ago:
According to Wikipedia:
DuckDuckGo’s results are a compilation of “over 400” sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google.
That explains why the results are better than Bing for me.
- Comment on Just because Americans love Google doesn't make it a monopoly. Biden lawsuit goes too far. 1 year ago:
The article’s whole argument sounds like one of the weakest and most common corporate speak nonsense arguments that come up whenever there is a monopoly. It’s almost an admission of being a monopoly.
That said, the “bowsers providing Google search by default money” is probably the economic reason why we still have a Firefox web browser (the only real, fully functioning alternative to the webkit/blink browsers like Chrome). For a long time, it was a significant source of their income.
Also, the alternatives to Google search need to step up their game. As a tech worker, Bing sucks for results. Yahoo does too since it gets results from Bing. DuckDuckGo isn’t bad. Anyone know better alternatives?
- Comment on 1 year ago:
Whoa, I didn’t know that. I thought the game was well crafted. So all that work has been for nothing and the actual creators of the game won’t profit from it anymore?
- Comment on Japanese YouTuber convicted of copyright violation after uploading Let’s Play videos 1 year ago:
I saw this happening eventually and I agree with the copyright strike. I love Let’s Play videos and I have them on in my house all the time. However, spoiling the entire game for a story based game really does cut into the developer’s efforts.
- Comment on Federation updates #2 1 year ago:
I agree. Thank you Ategon!
- Comment on Federation Updates 1 year ago:
I am happy not to see whatever came from burrgit.moe anymore. The users of hexbear tend to be hostile and intolerant of anyone that isn’t anti-western.
- Comment on The cofounder of Google's AI division DeepMind says everybody will have their own AI-powered 'chief of staff' over the next five years 1 year ago:
But why? What do I need an AI for in my personal life?
- Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years 1 year ago:
Wow, that looks simple and nice.
- Comment on [VERGE] Starfield doesn’t have Nvidia’s DLSS at launch 1 year ago:
This one hurts. I game primarily on my laptop and DLSS helps out a ton with visuals.
- Comment on [VERGE] Got a Chromebook? Here’s a free GeForce Now subscription 1 year ago:
Great news! I didn’t know GeForce Now was an option for Chromebooks.
- Comment on How are people not hating (and even liking) Star Trek Enterprise? 1 year ago:
I feel you on many of those topics. I was rolling my eyes through much of that series.
- Comment on Coming to you soon... 1 year ago:
I’m the same way. I really like Premium. I would rather watch YouTube most times over Hollywood stuff.
- Comment on Streaming TV costs now higher than cable, as 'crash' finally hits 1 year ago:
Steaming is still more cost effective than cable. And most importantly, I don’t suffer through ads. I don’t pay equipment leases and fees. I watch everything on my own schedule. Cable cost me anywhere from $150 to $200 a month for my household for basic. With streaming I am paying about $45-55 a month. I only watch a limited amount of any TV anyway. I pay for YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and 1 random. That’s it. Sometimes, that random is Peacock or Paramount or HBO Max, or Apple or whatever.
- Comment on CNN Overhauls Lineup: Abby Phillip Takes 10 P.M., Laura Coates to Host 11 P.M., New Morning Show Hosts and Weekend Programs 1 year ago:
That’s the thing. I don’t think we need 24 hours of just talking about the news and politics. You hit the nail on the head with the documentaries. They need more original content for one.
- Comment on CNN Overhauls Lineup: Abby Phillip Takes 10 P.M., Laura Coates to Host 11 P.M., New Morning Show Hosts and Weekend Programs 1 year ago:
Yeah, I think that’s the problem. They need younger viewership. I’d say the only way to get it is to change their format completely. The current model is aging out.
- Comment on true story 1 year ago:
I am American and we had these in the 90s too. I wasn’t even born the the 70s and I have seen these.
