- Comment on Mobile World Congress 2025: More Foldable Concepts, Plus Phones and Tablets You'll Never Get to Use 1 day ago:
That’s pretty much how it always goes. This is essentially an expo of “what we can do with a crazy high budget” not “this is what we are releasing next year.”
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 2 days ago:
Wait, you think using Firefox somehow results in them getting money?…
- Comment on Electronic devices or 'signal jammers' used in car thefts to be banned 4 days ago:
Tots only works when both source and recipient are synced pretty much identically in time. Meaning the car and fob would need to receive their time from an external source.
Not that hard in many places, just grab the time from a radio broadcast. But what happens when that broadcast isn’t available? You fall back on a known inaccurate time. I’ve seen cars with a bum RTC chip, which lost about a minute a day. That would be enough to kill off this kind of system.
Not to mention that an external time source would be larger, cost more, require more power, and would be vulnerable to brand new attacks.
There is no perfect system. Take your physical lock for instance, there is no unpickable lock. They just plum don’t exist.
- Comment on Electronic devices or 'signal jammers' used in car thefts to be banned 4 days ago:
Car manufacturers should also be held liable for losses due to lack of protection against jamming.
Did you mean something else here? You can’t “protect” against jamming. That’s like protecting from too much noise in a conversation.
- Comment on Watch: A real-life flying car takes to the skies 1 week ago:
Cars crash into buildings all the time. Even if you took the largest consumer car and “drove” it as fast as possible into the side of a skyscraper, you wouldn’t be able to cause anything close to another 9/11.
That said, these are terrible for other reasons.
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 1 week ago:
Don’t use chromium?
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry but what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 2 weeks ago:
If I steal your car and tell everyone that I won’t steal more from you if you just let me keep your car… you’d be good with that?
- Comment on How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services? 3 weeks ago:
There’s also something to be said about some services being cordoned off in a VPN while leaving some public with security. I don’t necessarily want everyone within my full network if all I want is to share one service with them.
- Comment on New bird flu variant found in Nevada dairy cows has experts sounding alarms: ‘We have never been closer to a pandemic from this virus’ 3 weeks ago:
You don’t eat dairy cows.
- Comment on Nextcloud behind Cloudflare zero trust 4 weeks ago:
It can be unencrypted, but isn’t a requirement.
- Comment on Choosing pink is chaotic evil? 1 month ago:
Only if you’re a people.
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 1 month ago:
That 0% hurts so much.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
Granted, things are getting to the point that it may very well be possible. But these kinds of claims have been around for over a decade, and today my voice control devices still fail to understand me rather regularly.
Not to mention, a song is usually extremely easy to pick out. In a loud bar with background music, your brain tends to pick up the beat and start grooving along with it, even if you don’t realize it most of the time. Compared to the person sitting across the table trying to yell things to you, and you having to resort to lip reading and guesswork.
- Comment on flouride 3 months ago:
So then you admit there’s no point in drinking water then?
- Comment on flouride 3 months ago:
Different concentrations. If water is so good for you, why don’t you drink 10 gallons a day?
- Comment on flouride 3 months ago:
<.< And before it’s swallowed?
- Comment on flouride 3 months ago:
Cmon, at least get the byproducts main source correct in your propaganda comment!
- Comment on flouride 3 months ago:
“Essential” is a bigger word than “toxicity”.
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 3 months ago:
This will also make it trivial to target someone and have them sent to jail. I could literally post an image, right now, and it would be on your current device. Using your logic, you’d be liable and on your way to jail.
- Comment on Moderators protect us from the worst of the internet. That comes at huge personal cost. 3 months ago:
They’re just trying to be quirky.
- Comment on Moderators protect us from the worst of the internet. That comes at huge personal cost. 3 months ago:
Right there with you. I moderated on Gaia Online back in the day, and every now and then someone would get their jollies off by posting gore and CSAM. And of course, the mod team would have to clean it up because that’s what they do.
I actually had a better time modding on Reddit. At least no one posted CSAM once a month.
Though Reddit is the place I ended up modding a video that fucked me up for a little while…
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 4 months ago:
$46 a player isn’t unheard of, even outside whaling.
- Comment on Half as Hot 4 months ago:
Do you not understand what the word arbitrary means?…
- Comment on Half as Hot 4 months ago:
Kelvin is just our word for it, but that is the point of “no heat”. It isn’t arbitrary, there is no “negative kelvin” just like you cannot make something colder than absolute zero.
So if you take the difference between “coldest possible temp” and “average summer temp”, then slice it in half, you’re getting temperatures that would kill most life on earth.
- Comment on Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide 4 months ago:
LLMs can’t reason. Their blocks can be worked around trivially. Ask chat gpt if it’s a therapist, or even tell it to pretend to be one, and it will tell you it can’t impersonate people.
Yet…
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 4 months ago:
You can’t retroactively change FOSS licensing, but oft times you can alter the licensing moving forward. Not always the case, of course. But in no way are all FOSS licenses set in stone.
- Comment on A courts reporter wrote about a few trials. Then an AI decided he was actually the culprit. 4 months ago:
The human brain works. Even if we are talking about wetware 1k years in our future, that would still mean is possible.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 5 months ago:
Lemmy doesn’t even have an automod last I knew. And if there is now, and it’s anything like the Reddit one, it’s just regex. You can’t really do much more than pattern matching with regex.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 5 months ago:
I absolutely do. Look at the Huawei Trifold for an example. It’s overly expensive, and has issues, which is why I wouldn’t get it. But the concept is decent. A phone that unfolds into an incredibly thin tablet. What’s not to like?
