  I work for a huge organization and my local IT guys have their hands bound. I couldn’t even make a ripple in that ocean even if I tried.

  Now Excluding America Treaty Organization (NEATO)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Happened to me at work where they force us to use Windows 11. I had turned on the autosave feature on a Word document I was working on. Little did I know this meant it stopped saving the changes locally and started saving them on a OneDrive copy. I work all day on that file.

  The next day I notice the file on OD, find it odd that it is there so I delete it because I want nothing to do with OD. I then open the local word file I worked on all day yesterday and realize that none of the work I did the day prior was saved.

  I figured out what happened and fortunately the file was still in the recycle bin. But fuck that whole system to begin with.

  Imagine telling a war correspondent that they can’t go to a zone of conflict because “It’s too dangerous, there are people shooting each other there”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Bought them out” is a weak word too though. He placed loyal people on the board and had them vote to give him control of the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Musk nearly bankrupted Tesla when he insisted that the door handles must be flush after stealing the company from its original founders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Major scandal': Trump's DOJ caught spying on journalist before Epstein's death⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IDK. By ordinary standards that would be a major scandal. But by Trump standards, that’s just another day.

  The picture of the still half-destroyed white house will do wonders in the upcoming partial election.

  Best prank idea: Put someone’s browsing history on one of those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨War Thunder is getting infantry combat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. I have a love-hate relationship with that game. I can’t stand playing online PvP anymore so I play their PvE mode and it is obvious that this mode doesn’t get any attention by the developers.

  On one hand it does fantastic land-air battles when the game doesn’t screw you over. On the other they can’t be bothered to follow one of the most basic rules of game design that is to make sure the players don’t get spawned into an unfair, instant-death situation, let alone trapping them in a spawn-death loop.

  They’ll start forcing it again once they realize that only a minority of people are actually using it.

  I’m off to buy stock in bananas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit like that is why AI is completely unusable for any application where it cannot be allowed to fuck up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Windows Update, Password icon invisible, click where it used to be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a multi billion dollar company. Fucking up worldwide updates like they’re running a high school project.

  And they want you to pay for that shit. And then pay again through bullshit subscriptions ads and harvesting your data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Look up the phenomenon called “Chatbot Psychosis”. The chatbot can absolutely mess up someone’s head enough to push them to the act far beyond just answering the question of how to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it’s more akin to a bread company saying that dying of food poisoning after eating their bread is a violation of terms of service.

  We already knew that HP was a shit company. No change there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean? That would be horrible!

  AI is great at pursuing the ideal you give it, in that case “make money”, and finding all sorts of counterintuitive ways to pursue that ideal the best it can with complete disregard to anything else that could distract from it including humanity’s interests and morality. It would destroy the planet just to make more money… oh wait no nevermind now I see CEOs do that already.

  The harder they’ll try to force feed it down their customer’s throats by making it increasingly prominent and obnoxiously insisting in the interface, the more people will hate it.

  People in the 80’s: “In the year 2025 we’re going to have hoverboards and flying cars!”

  2025: “I can’t use my bed because the servers are down”

  Never buy anything that needs to be connected to a server to work for no good reason.
