Tough question. I doubt it though. I would guess they would have to prove mal intent in some form. When a person slanders someone they use a preformed bias to promote oneself while hurting another intentionally. While you can argue the learned data contained a bias, it promotes itself by being a constant source of information that users can draw from and therefore make money and it would in theory be hurting the company. Did the llm intentionally try to hurt the company would be the last bump. They all have holes. If I were a judge/jury and you gave me the decisions I would say it isn't beyond a reasonable doubt.

This specific bird is way to forgiving. It's more like saying if on average 1 species dies every million years on average, we have killed thousands of species in a thousand years. Then throw in the idea that we also could say the percentage of population of those species we killed would be over half of them, we can say to ourselves, yeah this is really being accelerated. Mass extinction has already begun. People who say humans will survive it are optimistic because our adaptability.
It's more like if you want your descendants to be able to go outside and be able to breathe without life support systems, you should so something about it.

I can't see how Meta could lose. 1 unreliable information, and 2 they can deny access to anyone they want if they are a private company last I knew.

Can you explain that one to me? Anyone can take my card and use it, no one can take my phone and use it.. also I would notice my phone being gone sooner. Cards dont have to transfer to other devices and have to be readded with the banks verification. A card is as easy as beep and draw an X, or not even have to "sign".

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

No need to be, but this is a bad example because if the company can prove you were wreckless intentionally, they have an easy court case and someone now liable for all damages

.... Never worked for for a company that did training in such a way. The training is mandatory because they are usually required to show these items for their insurances. Usually you have weeks if not months notice and have to renew it annually or some dumb crap. They are also usually done on their training websites. 3 companies I have worked for just deactivate your AD account if you don't get it done in a timely manner. Companies who can lose millions or lose actual information that will hurt other companies and get sued do not mess around with their responsibility on such.

Mom and pop shop.. it wouldn't matter much in the first place. Restore the data, reset passwords and call it a day. Medical, military, or such... No fun.

Businesses use VPN's/ proxies like crazy for security. I am curious to know how they bypass that

I eat meat daily, who thought grocery stores cared about the environment when trying to sell meat at "low costs" and advertising it as much as possible. If they sell beef, they are a big chunk of the beef.

Likely the TPM chip. It is required for Windows Hello, Bitlocker, and a few other things to enhance security. Works much like a RSA token, if the code from the chip doesn't match the code on the hard drive it assumes tampering and will lock entry. The encrypted drive (Bitlocker) or the OS will require the Bitlocker recovery key to boot the OS (Decrypt the drive) and the password instead of the Face ID/ PIN/fingerprint you used to make access quicker. Most devices didn't have TPM 2.0 till recently, which is the version used by Windows 11 I believe.

If you don't encrypt said drive or attach the Microsoft accounts as they recommend anyone can grab the drive, reset the account password or just pull all your files from the drive from another OS. It's all forced security because the views/legal responsibility keeps looking at the companies to produce the products and blaming them for not securing their users instead of the users securing themselves.

I thought the U.S. government already took all the loans. So wouldn't the lender be the U.S. government, and the interest goes to paying for the companies managing the loans I would assume. My interest rate on some of my loans went from 2.4% to 4.8% if I remember correctly (was sometime between 2008-2012 time period). I don't believe students can go to a bank and get private student loans unless there is some loopholes. That said, cancelling student loan debt would simply mean not paying themselves back. Student loans are tax deductible as well, so when you pay them it would essentially come out of your taxes income, so if you could magically pay 10k off one year, it should come off your highest taxes income bracket. I still owe some, but I'd be fine with at least making it free college for AS/AA and 0% interest on student loans past that for all new takers. If they could make it free for BS/BA I'm still fine with being stuck with mine so long as we can figure out how to fix it for the future generations.

Interesting wonder why they confiscated all of those back then. I looked it up and 7.2% are private and the other 92.8% are owned by the federal government. I didn't think those existed anymore. Mine were all through JP Morgan when I went to college and those all got taken by the government.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

I assumed it was "just" for apps in the Microsoft store. So they shouldn't get viruses, but that doesn't mean they aren't getting software that is garbage.

Aren't the bones the cheap part now? Think truth social for instance, why was it supposedly worth so much if anyone can spin up a Mastadon instance and make it the same restrictions over the weekend. The userbase numbers are all that mattered there I assume. Why is reddit worth more than Lemmy? Is it because the bones are expensive? Or is it that they have access to a large userbase already.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

It's also localizes information more, making you easier to manipulate and less likely to realize people are pissed off about something you may not know anything about. Stifling change.

Freedom of choice... How is that edgy?

He didn't send them all for free, they were also funded by the U.S. government. Sanctions say sales of such would be illegal in Russia. So yes, people in Ukraine can legally purchase and use Starlink and people in Russia legally should not be able too.

So any of his terminals being used illegally are in fact his responsibility. They are using his companies satellites which are included in the sanctions.... It doesn't seem very confusing to me

What part of that is confusing

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

So you claim they are doing something about it and demand someone else find you proof for your claims. Run around with your goal posts all you want.

Well shit, 20 years and it looks like we may have replaced our entire workforce with robots that dont need to sleep, and can produce everything we need using low environmental impact devices. You know. Maybe the Jetsons weren't wrong, just early.

How do we not become WALL-E though.

Obviously 20 years is a vast overestimate when humans are involved

Understandable but if they said Facebook I would know what they meant, if they say Meta I have to verify if it is Facebook, Instagram, or Threads.

Is there a reason or way to prevent display port from having so many connection issues specifically on port replicators (docking stations)?

In corporate environments I find so many times that you plug them up over and over, unplug over and over and check the connection a million times before turning everything off one final time, holding the power button on everything (kind of like an smc reset) and then booting up everything like you originally did and they come up. Is this a result of the devices trying to remember a previous setup or is their an easy way to avoid it?

I've hooked up dozens of them and still ran into issues when a family member brought a setup home to work when they were sick last week.

If this was a response to write speeds they meant the speed at which data can be written to the disc, not the time ot takes to build the disc.
Read/Write speeds are a standard measure used to tell whether something would be efficient to use. For example one could say storing an OS on a DVD and booting would be dumb because it would run extremely slow, where as the read speed for playing music or a movie off it wouldn't be an issue as it doesn't need higher performance for such.

I really wasn't interested in this product until reading this comment.

A college is removing its vending machines after a student discovered they were using facial recognition technology (www.businessinsider.com)

A college is removing its vending machines after a student discovered they were using facial recognition technology::A photo shared on Reddit showed one of the vending machines with an error code suggesting it used facial recognition tech.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

Many of these were set up in areas where there are no employees as well. While some may be "vending machines" by definition many colleges and work sites installed areas with food/drink items all set up on shelves where you can go and grab what you want and then go self checkout on your own and walk off. Cameras and recognition of who is taking items without paying has been the regulating power since they were set up. Many do not accept cash, and you use a card, your phone or even set up an account using your fingerprint to grab a banana/cookies/gatoraid/ice coffee/whatever and pay quickly. The idea that they knew who you were was used to balance their costs against the number of lost/stolen items.

It is foolish to think they weren't identifing individuals, but it would be wrong to sell the data as well.

Google Wallet came out a while ago apparently, they are just condescending Google Pay into Google Wallet. Not sure what the differences are.

I would argue that moving to evs puts the cost burdens on companies and consumers where a functioning public transit system would cost a shit ton and only be able to occur by taxing people which people won't vote for.

Also when I went on a walk today while visiting my mother, I knocked on a neighbors door to let them know their hazard lights were on in the driveway. I didn't want their battery to die so I went to door. They wouldn't even open the door while clearly being able to see my mother standing behind me who lives a few doors down. I had to speak through the door to tell her. That older lady will never take public transit with all the fear we have engrained into the public.

Mine automatically charges to 80% if you have an alarm set, then it charges the rest in the last minutes.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

What kind of phone do you have. Samsing, Apple and Pixel all have solutions.

The used prixel I got recently automatically only charges to 80% if an alarm is set, then charges the rest of the way to hit 100% when the alarm goes off.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

Is onecloud a new product or do you mean OneDrive?. Honest question because I have never heard of that but it doesn't mean Microsoft didn't release a new product.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

Local accounts, yes. How are you bypassing Microsoft accounts with 2 factor authentication enabled?
Unix and Mac passwords were the same for local accounts before.

Easiest way right now would be to acquire a username password to get into their phone provider, say Verizon. Then log into their Verizon account and move their phone number to a new phone. (this will only require knowledge of their security questions, also a phone not purchased by a card or registered to you if you don't want it traceable)

Once done then you can reset the password using the unknown password to their Microsoft account using the 2 factor that sends to their phone number....maybe.

Especially on windows 11 we don't stand much of a chance getting passed.

Likely easier to pick up the password book they wrote all of their passwords down in and accessing them. (Performed by most people over 50 I know)

Edit: also, you will find their Facebook password written there haha

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

Only for local accounts which Windows pushed people away from for security risks. And then near mandated the standard user can't figure out how to create this security flaw

Bitlocker is enabled by default, requiring tpm. Which internal tpm is used by most all devices. Also you won't get into any commercial devices as the bios will be locked by password, so booting by USB will not happen.

Source: Microsoft,
"On supported devices running Windows 10 or newer BitLocker will automatically be turned on the first time you sign into a personal Microsoft account (such as @outlook.com or @hotmail.com) or your work or school account."

Alt source: I have spent years working for DOD and other IT positions

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

Yeah, I don't use Microsoft online accounts, but "work or school accounts" come up in many jobs because Windows is still used by many companies. I want to get certified or such for Googles BS (edit: bullshit not fancy terms) just because so many companies hire for transitions from Microsoft to Google or vise versa. It shouldn't be a hard transfer... But I don't have the time or money at the moment, so the $1000 for the course for certs sounds like a pain... But the $70-75 an hour for remotely transferring their systems and supporting it sounds like it is worth it. If you know anyone with background on the Google side of it please let me know if the certification is a waste of time.

I am not familiar with it, would you mind telling me how much works? Why would Hydrogen not be sourced from ocean water and then compressed/stored? How did fracking come in, it seems like a chore to have made it so

Don't forget the 1 year of jail per year of not filing taxes if considered tax evasion. If you cannot pay your taxes they cannot jail you. Aka, file your taxes and don't pay your taxes and you should be fine. Don't file or pay and you might get hit with tax evasion eventually. More likely just get hit with an extra 25% of his taxes he didn't pay as it goes up by 5% a year until it stops at 25.

They have QuickBooks I believe, which surely makes them money as well.

Yarp. And when they forget it we use the 48 numerical recovery key found using the recovery ID that shows on the screen when you hit escape (from the bitlocker screen)

45,000 commercial flights a day in the U.S. 35 deaths in the last 10 years. Thats about 164 million flights.

~115 people dying by car daily, and those numbers have been rising every year...

If planes get their kill ratio up high enough people will stop caring and start saying it is expected/needed.

Clearly more plane crashes are the answer.

According to the article the mangos were on sale for a higher price than what showed up on the screen, it totaled them correct but there was a mistake with it saying .80 cents per mango. They gave them the mangos for free apparently and apologized. Same thing would have happened whether or not it was a self checkout or a person, the item was entered incorrectly into the system.

Always verify what you are buying.

The tea wasn't owned by the mom and pop shop neighbors who were also fighting for the same cause. There is a difference to me in a large corporation sustaining damage it will recoupe from insurance and people trying to scrape by and now can't afford rent until the hopefully if they had insurance, then maybe a check comes in a few months.

Those places if a protestor breaks in during a riot I am fine with being shot at and even killed if need be. Your cause doesn't give you the right to starve or put in jeopardy other people's lives who did not choose to riot.
