It's "fluttering mouse" in Norwegian.

UndercoverUlrikHD , 17 days ago to Privacy in Snowden: "They've gone full mask-off: do not ever trust OpenAI or its products"

Can't read the tweet as Twitter is blocked on Firefox, but my guess would be closer ties with NSA, i.e. NSA can exert more control and monitoring of the data openai collects.

Genuinely surprised you haven't heard about HDR before.

It's not needed for office work, but for media consumption it has been a big thing for at least half a decade at this point. I'm not sure you'll find a modern TV that doesn't support it at this point.

I'm speaking strictly of the mass. Most the volume on those containers are likely structure to make sure there is no accidental leak, similar to Switzerland.

I also misremembered, it was all of US' waste that could fit on a single football.

I don't think solution for storage would be a problem if politicians had more of a backbone with deciding a place for storage, and I frankly don't see a future without fossil fuels where nuclear doesn't play a key role. All of the US' nuclear waste could fit on a football field 3 meters tall. We got space for it.

As for energy security. Canada is a massive producer, and NexGen Energy is sitting on a massive deposit. Most utilities store ~4 years of material on site, and the fact it's so easily stored for many years is why Japan invested heavily in it in all those years ago. I don't think access to uranium is much of a concern.

I was mostly referring to the search bar and I've seen multiple people report Microsoft updates reverting settings.

Just a few hours away from returning back to the dirt in the ground surely?

The fact Microsoft keeps re-enabling features users are disabling isn't something to just ignore. Imagine if they were the silently turn on a feature like Recall.

Capthchas haven't worked against serious actors for years and companies could easily pay for a user account. Anything a normal tech illiterate person can do, companies can automate. You sort of have to trust their pinky promise of not scraping content.

Here's all of Switzerland's high level nuclear waste for the last 45 years. It solid pellets. You could fit the entire world's US' waste on a football field.

It's not the greatest challenge mankind have faced.

Thanks for clarifying

Skimming through it it wasn't fully clear to me, is this just for their pdf editor?

Never heard about it in Norway

That's because X means absolutely nothing. It's a letter commonly used to fill in blanks. It's an awful name for any company/brand.

UndercoverUlrikHD , 1 month ago to Technology in Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

What sort of protection are you after? Your VPN should encrypt your data to make it more difficult to snoop on your activity. I wouldn't trust any random WiFi hot-spot just because you got a VPN encrypting your traffic though.
