I dont even own a dishwasher but I watched the whole thing!

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in AI trained on photos from kids’ entire childhood without their consent

The way I see it, if they're too young to have scocial media, they're too young to be on scocial media.

It's real odd when you consider how society is now okay with parents posting pictures of our children openly for the world to see. Yet when the kids start sharing pictures of them selves to friends it's super dangerous for them.

The sad part is now private photos are at risk with all the cloud minning and "AI" crap. The idea that no matter how much I lock down my privacy, simply sending a picture of my kid to their grandma, who will save it to her auto-cloud phone gallary, is still going to feed that picture to the collective is sickening.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Apple AI vs. Microsoft AI

From what I saw,

MS Recall is a 24/7 AI monitor system that captures everything you look at and saves it for later. They didn't even do the bare minimum for protecting the data, it was just dumped in an unencytped folder where anyone get wholesale access to the data. All trust has been lost.

Apple is using AI as a tool to improve specific tasks/features that a user invokes. Things like assistant queries and the new calculator. They have said some promising things in regards to privacy, specificly with the use of ChatGPT - any inquiry sent to ChatGPT will ask the user permission first and obscure their IP. This shows they care enough to try, they have not lost our trust - but we remain skeptical.

A lot of sailors died that night.

Welp, I guess my ipad is finnaly losing support.
Let's see what I'll be missing in the next few updates:

checks notes over the last 7 years

Pretty much nothing that affects me.

The iPad is in such an odd space; it has the body of a Lamborghini, the engine of a racecar and the interior of a 2001 used car.

It would depend on how long the joke goes on and to what extreme.
"5 minutes super confused, until I look at my phone" = okay
"An elaborate prank where she changed all the dates that lasts 20 minutes = okay
"A day of being told my family died, world ended, etc" = not okay.

Seems like you're some kind of purest...go back to the Alpha versions? Which, they actually make really easy.

Personally I like features that provide a new purpose and build off of existing systems. Horse armor is a a natural progression for protecting your horse. Its mirrors the player armor system with materials (leather to diamond). Wolf armor breaks the mold, it could mimic player/horse armor in mechanics and material progression, but instead it comes from armodillo scales with seemingly no way to upgrade. They even copied the ability to dye the armor - they probably copy pasted the code for leather and made a new redundant item.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Memes in new wolf

Yup, they could have just made wolf armor follow the same system as horse armor. But they had to add an all new system to further complicate the game.

They did add a bunch of wolf variants, like cats have, so that's cool.

helpImTrappedOnline , (edited ) to Memes in new wolf

Probably.
I'll be surprised if they don't finally stop this noncense this year or next with all the negative feedback it got last year.

Just give us the new features without threatening us with other features "lost forever".

That being said, I will always give credit where credit is due - for a game fullly released in 2011, the fact we have gotten significant free anual updates for the past 13 years is insane. Unlike the other major 2011 release (Skyrim) that seems to only update to break mods for fun.

helpImTrappedOnline , (edited ) to Technology in Microsoft addresses Windows Recall backlash, promises to fix security issues and make it opt-in

This raises an excellent point not considered. This goes for all texts as well if the other person uses the "your phone" app. Discord, matrix, signal, telegram etc are all compromised by this existing on a system.

Will my browser's "private mode" be respected or it is going to store every inappropriate thing I search?

Are password managers safe? How about bank security questions? How often are those actaully obfuscated. The last 4 digits of social security numbers are usually unobfuscated, which is also what a lot of intuitions (stupidly) use to verify your ID over the phone. What if I want to look at the PDF of my tax documents?

What if my HR manager has this enabled and starts viewing PDFs containing private information about employees, payroll data, finances and whatever else is sellable on the dark web.

How about govermnet data? Sure maybe the pentagon IT staff will completely block it, but what about local gov committee ABC that's collecting voter information?

That type of data is valuable enough that it will be targeted regardless of what protection MS attempts. Based on the fact they didnt bother encytping the data from the start, my faith is low.

The implications of this are insane.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Memes in new wolf

I really hate that this was the only reason Armadillos won the stupid mob vote.

No one (from chat and what I've seen) actually cares about the armadillo. They only wanted to wolves to be more viable hunting partners in survival.

Pop up

"Hi, you're battery is getting old. Would you like to enable a mode that slows down your phone to preserve battery life, Yes or No."

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

Because in the world of auto updates, patch notes aren't presented to users, and the average user isn't seeking them out to read them. They essentially just wake up to a new OS.

A what's new pop up or something would be more effective.
