Replace them? Or take it to a jeweler and have them do it thoroughly

catloaf ,

Unless it's changed from the pilot, it's only useful if you file a 1040EZ or take some really basic deductions. Anything beyond the basics, like any kind of investments, means you need to use a different tool.

But freetaxusa is still free for all but the most complex cases.

Basic reading comprehension shouldn't be considered extremely niche knowledge

catloaf ,

Not to mention, few people have the time, skill, money, and energy to do it. They're happy to outsource in exchange for money and/or data.

catloaf ,

I'm sure they did, but they felt that this was more profitable, even if they got caught.

Stephen King also wrote "Christine" about a killer car.

Man accused of using generative AI to create virus in Japan 1st (mainichi.jp)

TOKYO -- A 25-year-old man has been served a fresh arrest warrant for allegedly creating a computer virus using generative artificial intelligence (AI), the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)'s cybercrime control division announced on May 28, in what is believed to be the first such case in Japan....

Even now, deaths can be attributed to hospitals getting ransomware.

Excel? Or Calc or whatever.

If you want to explore it as SQL, I usually just stand up phpMySQL for MariaDB, pgAdmin for postgres, or SSMS for SQL Server.

The average person isn't going to recommend putting glue in pizza.

It's normal for a switch to strip a vlan tag when it sends a packet out, so that the endpoint doesn't have to support vlans. Don't worry about that. As far as the endpoint is concerned, it's just normal subnetting.

When it's on the other vlan, can you even ping it? When you check the packet capture, can you see the ping and response? Where does it get dropped?

catloaf ,

Build a minimum viable product and publish it.

We've had computers for decades. We've had computers in our pockets for several years now. Computer literacy is still garbage (mostly because your average person's critical thinking skills are garbage).

catloaf ,

And when it doesn't work, Apple tells you it's because you're holding it wrong, and you're on your own.

catloaf ,

Did they do it for the light version too?

Contents of Meta data logs?

I am currently in the process of finally getting rid of my Meta-account. In the process I have requested data extraction. The media stuff was made available pretty quickly, but the data logs are still being processed. Does anyone know what data they actually contain, and whether there's any point in waiting for it?...

catloaf ,

It's probably not that interesting.

You might be able to request deletion and still get the data dump, since that request was first.

catloaf ,

Wireguard is a VPN.

A VPN is preferable because what's safer, making one hole, or making six holes? One, obviously.

catloaf ,

Now they're getting $0 and bad press, so no I don't think they did.

catloaf ,

We hit that point centuries ago, if not millennia.

catloaf ,

I use yt-dlp and a bash script running from cron

catloaf ,

A VPN doesn't do anything about the GPS location on your phone.

You'd have to find out why Google thinks you have a certain location, then determine if it's worth blocking that somehow. If it's not possible, you'd have to stop using the service entirely if you don't want that data observed.

Honestly, the user is the biggest security risk in the first place. People run all kinds of malware and put their passwords into phishing sites all the time. One thing a TPM is used for is secure boot, which prevents malware from inserting its own bootloader to take over the OS.

catloaf ,

I've been curious about people who have been disabling the TPM. Where are you storing your disk encryption keys?

catloaf ,

Yes, but when they're on USB the keys are much more accessible. You can just plug it in and dump them.

If you're only using a password, the keys are stored in an unencrypted part of the drive, which can again easily be dumped.

Once you've dumped the keys, you can brute-force the passphrase offline.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

catloaf ,

It's also "discovered" multitudes more that are complete nonsense.

catloaf ,

4 is free for a very small number of queries, then it switches back to 3.5. Or at least that's what happened to me the other day.

catloaf ,

That's why they do clinical trials

catloaf ,

It certainly helps with fitness, and somewhat with confidence, but just being fit isn't going to get you laid. I'd also see a therapist regularly for the mental and emotional parts of health.

catloaf ,

So it's an ad, then? That's even worse.

catloaf ,

Yeah but who is going to do that outside business customers with strict requirements? Raise your hand if you ever even paid for a Windows license in the first place (other than one that came with the PC).

catloaf ,

Then they can use LTSC until 2027 or pay for extended service until 2028. After that, they'll just be unsupported.

I'm sure there's going to be a group policy setting to disable the Recall AI thing anyway.

catloaf ,

I'm sure they used a dataset from before people started editing and deleting stuff.

catloaf ,

Hey @Mistral, how important is the difference between a grilled cheese and a melt?

catloaf ,

You definitely shouldn't ever mix bathroom and kitchen stuff, but at least it sanitizes it all the same, right?

Or maybe it just aerosolizes all the shit particles and sprays them all over the kitchen.

catloaf ,

I asked ChatGPT earlier. It will literally tell you exactly what it was about. (Probably because of all the sites talking about it since it happened.)

catloaf ,

Yeah, chemistry is so fucking complex and unpredictable that most of it happens by accident. Especially for really complex compounds like pharmaceuticals. We basically try a huge number of different things and find out what it does. (Hopefully only good things, a lot of drugs do some good and some bad.)

catloaf ,

I had a girl astropistronomy once. Best night of my life.

catloaf ,

Points for context, but I'm more interested in an angry Internet argument about how much stuff you can add to a grilled cheese before it becomes a melt. Strongly opinionated.

catloaf ,

That's more like it. Can you do it with more words in capital letters? Maybe some personal insults, or insinuations against my taste?

catloaf ,

I have heard of them slitting the buns and patties in the back so that they can make them look a little bigger in the front.
