Also your reputation. I had a Crucial SSD and was days from getting an identical one as a backup but then they said they were stopping consumer RAM sales so they’re now on my blacklist.

ICE recently lured someone out of their house by claiming to be a construction worker (dressed up I’m guessing) that hit a parked car. 😮‍💨

I mean, yeah, this is the system working as intended: corporations chasing profits and feeling no regrets about burning bridges in the process.

Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?

They fucked up by making their robots last seemingly forever, due to the fact they spy on you and get stuck every 15 mins so you never want to turn them on.

I’m just glad they have dual thumbsticks now. I bought their last model on sale but quickly shelved it. Couldn’t get used to the touchpads and didn’t want to spend the next 2 months sucking at every game I played.

Also 2FA. You’ll still want to change passwords but it buys you time.

Not one assembly member voted against final passage. Get your shit together CA!

Funny. My Jellyfin instance is working fine. 😏

An individual wouldn’t verify this but enough independent agencies or news orgs would probably care enough to verify a photo. For the vast majority we’re already too far gone to properly separate fiction an reality. If we can’t get into a courtroom and prove that a picture or video is fact or fiction then we’re REALLY fucked.

The point is to give photographers a “receipt” for their photos. If you don’t want the receipt it would be easy to scrub from photo metadata.

Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.

I don’t know if it was overhyped or too expensive (or both) but Drobo seemed like a good consumer solution to this problem. The idea of being able to live swap drives and have it all handle redundancy, provisioning, recovery, and whatnot automatically is critical for making this a true “home appliance”.

Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.

In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.

Same. And they basically jizz their pants when they see a practical use for AI, but 9 out of 10 times there’s already a cheaper and more reliable solution they won’t even entertain.

If I try to get it to do more than predict the next two lines of code it’s gonna fuck something up. A nervously laughable thing I saw at work was someone using a long spec file to generate a series of other files and getting high praise for it. It was the equivalent of mustache templates but slower and with a 30% chance of spitting out garbage. There was also no way to verify if you were in that 30% zone without looking through the dozens of files it made.

I once heard that artists get more money from merch than plays or record sales (per dollar spent). If you want to support them buy a tshirt or something from their official site.
