  Reducing CO2 emissions by not doing LLM slop is apparently off the table.

  Not to be argumentative, but has this ever been something the consumer market has done with an emerging “core” technology? I don’t see how this was ever realistically on the table.

  AI slop is an unfortunate fact of life at this point. If it’s inevitable, we may as well make it as not terrible as possible.

  May not be that odd. Is pfas contamination more prevalent in areas that attract beer makers? I highly doubt beer makers are evenly spread across the country.

  Sometimes yeah, but the majority of major ones use a ranking system and taking care of your DMARC and such is usually enough to rank you into the not spam category.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Would they have done this if there wasn’t a public backlash? I would bet money the answer is no.

  You can’t really do more than make a random claim here. I could counter it by saying “I would be money the answer is yes. but that’s just as useful a statement.

  What were the TOS violations?

  If you’re expecting a laundry list of email addresses and each individual violation, you’re not likely to get that from any company.

  If your own domain is being blocked, you’re likely misconfiguring DMARC/DKIM/SPF on the domain.

  Error wizard only updates leads us right into issues of insecure drivers being left in place because they aren’t causing errors. Or what if the drivers originally installed were engineering drivers, and an update was to correct them? Never going to hit because it never errored.

  The reality is, the current solution works. Is it infallible? No, of course not. But this is like getting mad at FexEx because they didn’t confirm the package Amazon sent you was the actual item you ordered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New report blames Phison's pre-release firmware for SSD failures — not Microsoft’s August patch for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’d like to go back to the old days where users install their devices with a third party installer every time they get a new hardware item, require providing drivers during install, and never update those drivers?

  Why wouldn’t it be up to the driver provider to vet the drivers being provided?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New report blames Phison's pre-release firmware for SSD failures — not Microsoft’s August patch for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a few ways I can think of, such as coming from the factory with en engineering firmware, or a third party (manufacturer) tool pushing the update.

  There’s also the question of how M$ would have even got the engineering firmware to begin with. If it did indeed get released through windows update, was it the manufacturer that provided it? M$ can’t really be expected to vet every driver they are provided.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New report blames Phison's pre-release firmware for SSD failures — not Microsoft’s August patch for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t actually know that’s the case though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New report blames Phison's pre-release firmware for SSD failures — not Microsoft’s August patch for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony of this comment is painful.

  How soft? Are we talking skittle, starburst, sour patch, or jello?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huawei unveils new trifold smartphone before Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While I get the sentiment, you can’t really fit a tablet in most pockets. While a tri fold phone would fit just fine.

  This isn’t for situations where a more powerful device is needed. Power doesn’t matter when watching a video, or reading a book, or scrolling the internet. Sometimes you just need more screen.

  I may be an outlier on Lemmy, but I explicitly want a decent trifold device. Specifically for the situations I listed. I’m not looking to use the tablet “mode” for performance hungry tasks, I just want more screen sometimes.

  You can sideload up to three apps without a paid dev account, they just expire in 7 days. Use something like AltStore (or better yet SideStore) and you have an easy way to install and re-sign two other apps. They also have the ability to essentially “offload” apps so you can have more than two other sideloaded apps, but only two can be active at a time (other than the signing app)

  Those don’t guarantee delivery. A known spam domain or IP, among a few other things, can also result in blocks.

  Overly vague laws are never a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I kinda doubt you’d be able to write a law that would actually have the effect you’re looking for. In the case of what you just wrote, all YouTube would need to do is write into their ToS that by uploading to their platform you’ve given them explicit permission to alter the video for purposes of storage space or increasing/decreasing quality.

  I’m down for a breakup but I don’t see how we could twist this into illegality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of thousands of Grok chats exposed in Google results⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the user clicked a “generate me a share link” button, and the button also, without letting the user know prior to the button press, enables search indexing, that is indeed a leak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That site is talking about averages, assembly across the board. The person you’re talking to is explicitly talking about CS jobs, like software developer or system engineer.

  You can’t really compare the two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows 11 only comes in 64 bit flavors so this would be a weird feature to leave in place.

  Same with my 1070. He’ll, even my wife’s 970 is running strong. Can either of them play at max? Unlikely. But my wife is able to play just about anything, if at the lowest setting.

  There’s nothing that would change here other than the name of what’s installed. People would still be unable to update to the new version.
