- Comment on Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.' 1 day ago:
They are banking on the AI will eventually be smart enough that it will replace the workers that fed it.
- Comment on California’s Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare: it would let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability. 3 days ago:
California was 58.47% Dem to 38.33% Rep.
Only District of Columbia (90.28% to 6.47%), Maryland (62.62% to 34.08%), Massachusetts (61.22% to 36.02%), Hawaii (60.59% to 37.48%), and Vermont (63.83% to 32.32%) did better percentage wise.
California is still in the top 5 of the most Democratic states, even beating out New York (55.91% to 43.31%), Washington State (57.23% to 39.01%), and Illinois (54.37% to 43.47%).
If you look at the percentages, a lot of people voted for Trump everywhere. You can’t just single out California for this.

- Comment on New Google Search Emoji Answer Feature to Replace All Those Copy and Paste Emoji Websites; You Will be Able to Copy the Code for Emojis With a Click. 4 days ago:
They have the code built in to their keyboard and their messaging app just in case you switch keyboards.
It would be easier looking in to their own internal company files or databases than to parse information from a website even if they are really good at that.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 4 days ago:
In April, Anthropic filed its opposition to the class certification motion, arguing that a copyright class relating to 5 million books is not manageable and that the questions are too distinct to be resolved in a class action.
I also like this one too. We stole so much content that you can’t sue us. Naming too many pieces means it can’t be a class action lawsuit.

Their AI and their quick answers, like taking Wikipedia articles, definitely steals content from creators.
But is this stealing content from creators? Or does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions?
If it’s the latter then I say it’s fine. That’s like complaining Duckduckgo’s search result of a calculator takes away views from calculator.com. Calculator.com and emojipedia.org don’t own the patent to online calculators or description of emojis with a copy function.

- Comment on What happened to the fediverse stats here? 2 weeks ago:
That is my guess too. Israel is preparing for Iran propaganda. Israel and Russia are the top internet propaganda countries.
- Comment on 109 children rescued, 244 arrested in Operation Soteria Shield, exposing widespread child exploitation in North Texas 2 weeks ago:
More than 70 Texas law enforcement agencies joined forces throughout the month of April to combat the exploitation of children in the digital space. These agencies leveraged the expertise of highly skilled computer crimes investigators that worked around the clock to identify victims and apprehend offenders engaged in the production, distribution, and possession of child sexual abuse material.
“The coordinated efforts of all agencies involved in Operation Soteria Shield serve as a powerful demonstration of unwavering dedication in the battle against online child exploitation. By exposing the darkest corners of the Internet, this operation has targeted predators who seek to harm vulnerable children,” said Wylie Police Chief Anthony Henderson.
The online part. I say this passes for a tech article.
- Comment on A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account 2 weeks ago:
Eventually, I had a PoC running, but I was still getting the captcha? It seemed that for whatever reason, datacenter IP addresses using the JS disabled form were always presented with a captcha, damn!
The simplest answer is probably the right one. They are used for bots.
- Comment on You probably don't remember these but I have a question 3 weeks ago:
We should start with, what car do you have? Then we can figure out if it has an AUX port.
Also if this think has an original battery, you might want to replace it before it becomes bloated.

- Comment on Self-Driving Tesla Fails School Bus Test, Hitting Child-Size Dummies… Meanwhile, Robo-Taxis Hit the Road in 2 Weeks. 4 weeks ago:
What I meant is they don’t care about people as people.
It’s just a number to them.
If they can profit of millions dying and they know they could get away with it, they would.

Fight Club taught me the cost of human life to corporations.
If PredictedLawsuitLosses < CostOfRecall then RecallNotAnnounced
Human life doesn’t factor in at all for them.
- Comment on Trump Media & Technology Group, the company owned by the President, said Tuesday that it would raise $2.5 billion to invest in Bitcoin 4 weeks ago:
They will raise the price and dump it. It’s an unregulated way for his billionaire friends to steal money from the poor.

- Comment on Microsoft bans words like "Palestine", "Gaza" and "Genocide" in all company emails and fires the employee who protested Microsoft during event. 5 weeks ago:
Probably not long. Microsoft Recall constantly takes screenshots while you use your own personal computer! They can now use AI to OCR if you write text in Microsoft Paint! They can send that shit to anyone including the government and their branch in Israel! Amazing!
- Comment on By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall 5 weeks ago:
What Signal is doing is a workaround specifically used for DRM content. This feature is specifically so you can’t copy copyrighted content. I don’t think most apps would do this.
According to Microsoft, Recall is opt in. I don’t fucking trust them though.
- Comment on By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall 5 weeks ago:
Given this reality, private messaging apps like Signal deserve to be treated with at least the same level of caution that’s afforded to a web browser’s private or incognito browsing window — which Microsoft has already excluded from Recall by default.

Also I wonder if they sell replacement parts.
- Comment on Beelink ME mini is a NAS with an Intel N200 processor and support for up to 6 SSDs 1 month ago:
No prob. My comment was from two week ago.
There is an update on the site:
Update: The Beelink ME mini is priced at 1295 CNY in China, which is about $177 at the current exchange rate. It’s likely to cost a bit more outside of China. A number of performance testing, unboxing & teardown, and other articles are also available at Chinese shopping & product recommendation site smzdm.
But Beelink released the product with the same specs except this one has a N150 instead of a N200.
Beelink ME mini 6-Slot Home Storage NAS Mini PC Intel® Twin Lake N150
Price Currently:
12GB LPDDR5+64EMMC+2TB Crucial SSD - $329
$40012GB LPDDR5+64EMMC+4TB (2TB*2) Crucial SSD - $429
$529Currently not available.I don’t think this is a new productvso maybe they are just getting rid of their N150 stock. The one in China has an N200.
- Comment on Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
Any situation where an old password would be valid indefinitely and a new one not recognized would require the machine to not be able to reach AD or Entra, but also to still be reachable by RDP… indefinitely. That’s definitely not impossible, but it’s one hell of an edge case to use the term “indefinitely” for.
Would something like this happen if AD and Entra is in a remote office, the machine has a networking issue that prevents non local connections?
