ATT bribed legislators to cancel their COLR obligations as a monopolist, then had the gall to complain that California would not cancel COLR like in the states where they bribed regulators.

If I did this, I’d be in prison. Why do we allow organized crime to operate in plain sight like this?

As expected, Waymo deflects responsibility for the crash, as if no human driver has ever encountered a car being towed.

The company says one of its vehicles encountered a tow truck improperly pulling a pickup, which was facing rearward and askew across a center turn lane and regular traffic lane.

Has anyone here noticed how reddit has gotten more racist against Indians in the last few months (lemmy.world)

It's something I've seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There's accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those...

It’s pretty dumb to wave around your test score marked “test scores are invalid” to try and convince a bunch of internet strangers that you are smart.

The same Royal Mail that prosecuted hundreds of their own employees based on evidence from completely broken fraud detection software?

After falsely accusing their own employees, they’ve moved on to threatening their customers.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

A service needs a server, not just a phone. Do you want to self host, or use the entire hardware installation in someone’s cloud data center?

You can run HA on lighter hardware, or use a VM or docker, but it needs something to host.

When I say “hey Siri open my garage door”, my phone does voice recognition, calls the Apple Home app, which calls my local Home Assistant server, which calls the RATGDO which opens the door.

Texas is a high tax, low service state.

California is a high tax, high service state.

Texas spends their taxes on corporate welfare.

California spends their taxes on education, infrastructure and health care.

The “solution” is to shift risk from lenders to taxpayers for 2nd mortgages. Because private profits and public risk are such good public policy.

It’s actually a really great deal at the old price I’m grandfathered into and none of you can get any more.

Also if you pirate YT, Google won’t pay creators. If you watch ads, Google still won’t pay creators.

40-drive RAID is moving out of homelab territory and pretty deep into enterprise storage systems.

Do you already have these 40 drives or are you spacing out a new NAS from scratch?

If it’s from scratch I’d first see if I could get it down to 20 or 24 larger drives to allow the whole thing to fit in a single 4U rackmount case.

Bigger than that and you’re probably stuck with proprietary NAS hardware to link together multiple racks.

Investment income being taxed less than employment income is another form of class warfare.

Why don’t these peasants simply become landed gentry? Rather than worrying about feudalism, they should worry about establishing their dynasty.

Calling it now, the AI grader will mark 0 for black and latino students at a higher rate than white students, and this will have life altering consequences for these students because they never get a fair regrade by a human.

In the article they already admit as much, that the grader marks 0 for anything it doesn’t understand, such as slang.

This is a “stop ship” issue if they cared about the students half as much as they’re excited about saving money.

You’re basically saying “Blocklists are too hard and white lists are even worse, why can’t the software just know what I like?”

Banks need to send a paper notice in case you got switched without knowledge or consent.

Otherwise you get old people who get unwillingly opted in by a dark design patterns and then have to call up and ask why they don’t get paper statements.

I cannot count the number of times I gotten a coercive UI trying to force me to drop paper statements.

It’s a niche of the hard drive market. It persists in “surveillance” HDDs but that’s because they’re optimized for endurance, and low noise is just a side effect.

Not too many people are putting a NAS in their living room.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

I use Lutron Caseta which has a local hub and no cloud control. It’s the same company and I didn’t get that notice.

Wonder what’s different about the Decora switches?
