Another reason is that you are virtually guaranteed to find any application you need that supports Windows.

ringwraithfish ,

Yep! With Steam Deck pushing more native game support, I hope we see more users get used to the Linux environment and increase the demand on the PC side for better support across all applications.

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

ringwraithfish ,

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

ringwraithfish ,

They probably realized it's not profitable because 90% of a user's visits are home, work, store... wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

ringwraithfish ,

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn't a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

ringwraithfish ,

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You're the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say "yeah but if this had happened" or "if they had done this differently"

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that's not circle jerking over a brand, it's just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

I see you're describing a case-by-case basis, but I'm still failing to see how it's case-by-case. /s

Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with "buy online drugs here" links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they're being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

It's a difficult problem to solve.

ringwraithfish ,

Here's one: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795
I always see them popping up under random@kbin.social

ringwraithfish ,

I always report. However, I heard that the report only goes to the admin of your instance. Maybe future releases will support cross instance reporting and the ability for admins to "trust" bans by admins from other instances.

ringwraithfish ,

Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user's home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.

ringwraithfish ,

I'll be dead. They can have all of that.

ringwraithfish ,

We ultimately don't know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what's going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

ringwraithfish ,

The part I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the fact that we all saw this coming for the last 4 years, and yet here we are...

I hope/choose to believe that the reason we're here is that those leading the charge in our justice system knew they not only had to have an airtight case, but it also had to slowly tear him down and erode his support.

There are plenty of leaders throughout history who were exiled, deposed, or voted out only to come back stronger than ever. By taking an extremely methodical approach to all of the legal challenges against Trump, they've forced him to spend the majority of his time, energy, and money on those battles.

As always, time will tell...

ringwraithfish ,

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of "Here's an AI summary of search results". It's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?

ringwraithfish ,

Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.

The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.

ringwraithfish ,

Oof

ringwraithfish ,

No, no, no....see, when big corporations do it that's called "lobbying" not "bribes".

ringwraithfish ,

They dropped "do no evil" a while ago.

ringwraithfish ,

It's funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we're about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.

ringwraithfish ,

The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.

This is a new cold war that we've been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.

ringwraithfish ,

Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.

ringwraithfish ,

I'm struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don't think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.

ringwraithfish ,

Name it Blaine!

ringwraithfish ,

This is how I'm leaning too. If done appropriately this should be no different than "this is a reenactment of events" seen in 90s and 00s true crime shows.

The big challenge is getting the content creators to respect that template and not bury the disclosure in the credits.

Anti-user measures on a social media platform
That's a bold strategy cotton

ringwraithfish ,

Want to prove to the world you're the good guys, definitely start by banning news agencies /s

ringwraithfish ,

Wouldn't be surprised if they used the 510k loophole.

ringwraithfish ,

I would add open plans and open source so that if anything happens with the company another company can come in and pick up support easily.

ringwraithfish ,

The fact it's a video game smells of Musk's touch. Anyone else remember all the tweets he made about Tesla running games on the main monitor?

ringwraithfish ,

Lie is a tough word to use in law and journalism. To accuse someone of lying you have to prove intent to tell the lie vs being truly mistaken.

For example, if I say the Earth is flat am I lying or mistaken? If I truly believe that, then it's not a lie, even though facts clearly say otherwise. I'm just not aware or choose to disagree with those facts.

It's maddening. I'm with you and wish journalists would use harsher language in obvious cases, but I understand why they tend not to as a standard to ensure they're not opening themselves up to claims of liable and defamation.

ringwraithfish ,

If you're using it as a dumb TV, unless it shipped some critical firmware issue that prevents core functions from working (like HDMI input, switching inputs, etc) there shouldn't ever be a reason to update it out of the box.

I've used smart TV's for 10+ years now and figured this out of the awful experience from the first one. Never had any issues with the ones I've never connected to the Internet.

ringwraithfish ,

This is not true for everyone. We all have different reasons for similar feelings like this. I sleep great but still feel like this. Oversleeping is also a sign of depression.

For me, getting my diet under control and truly understanding what my body needs has helped tremendously (more fiber/protein, less carbs/sugars). Introducing daily probiotics has helped too. It really is amazing how our diets affect our moods.

For some, regular exercise may help.
For others, sun lamps help with seasonal depression.
Sometimes you need medication.
Sometimes weed helps.

Always talk to a professional. Try different things until you figure out what works and what doesn't.

ringwraithfish ,

I feel like Twitter (I will always deadname it) was the beginning of the end for him. Unfortunately, things like this can take years or decades to resolve, but whereas 5 years ago he had the midas touch and could do no wrong now there seems to be nothing but a stream of negative news about him.

Time will tell

ringwraithfish ,

Good point, I had forgotten about that nugget in the sea of shit nuggets around that man.

ringwraithfish ,

Yeah, all manufacturer OSes are shit. Don't connect the TV to the Internet and use your own preferred streaming device.

ringwraithfish ,

We really don't tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

ringwraithfish ,

I wonder if that will hold up in court for existing customers affected prior to the updated TOS.

After default password disclosed online, 1200 inmates have prison issued laptops seized by guards, threatening their ability to make class deadlines (www.opencampusmedia.org)

Zhang, an electrical engineer in Boston, decided to post about trying to unlock his Justice Tech Solutions Securebook 5 on the social platform X. The thread went viral — also catching the attention of Washington corrections officials, who have used the device for college programming since 2020....

ringwraithfish ,

Not a Lemmy issue. Click bait unfortunately works to drive views through all social media platforms.

The thing I love is being able to click into the comments first to see the auto-generated summary. Prevents the site from getting my traffic.

As a person

I too am a person and totally not an AI driven bot fellow human.

ringwraithfish ,

To add to what others have said, I've heard that wide adoption of NATing as a standard practice basically ensured IPv4 longevity well beyond its logical end. This along with the cost to fully upgrade a network to IPv6 meant there was no financial incentive for companies to adopt it.

With Amazon starting to charge for IPv4 addresses, it won't be long before Google and Microsoft do the same with GCP and Azure. This may be the financial kick in the ass to get large enterprise environments to finally commit to IPv6.

ringwraithfish ,

Can you enlighten the rest of us simpletons?

JPMorgan Chase fights off 45 billion hacking attempts each day (edition.cnn.com)

JPMorgan Chase fights off 45 billion hacking attempts each day::JPMorgan Chase says it has seen a sizable increase in attempts by hackers each day to infiltrate its systems over the last year, highlighting the escalating cybersecurity challenges the bank and other Wall Street titans are facing.

ringwraithfish ,

Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?

Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?
