stuff like this makes me wish Firefox supported serial communication like Chrome does :/. I haven't run into this since I don't have a hardware passkey, but the Circuit Python website makes it super easy to communicate and flash over serial... expect I have to use Chrome for five minutes

unfortunately that's not the crowd of people here. 80% of the comments under this thread (right now, 2:52est) are making similar arguments and *continue* to act like LLMs are doing something unique/creative... instead of just generating sentences, from algorithms, from virtually pirated content in the form of data mining

In my experience, TekSystems (an IT hiring agency) have proven to be a waste of time. Even if you manage to secure a job through them, be prepared to sacrifice a significant portion (10-30%) of your potential salary, as they'll deduct your hourly/salary pay as a finding/employment fee. I'm not sure if this is common practice with other recruitment companies but I find it to be very scummy

Anon gathered around and hacked Sony back in 2011 (mainly) because of the absorbent information they were gathering from everyone's PlayStation 3 consoles. They never stopped gathering an obscene amount of information from their users, and nether did any other mid-major technology company.

Google knows everything about you/us if you use their services. It's really bad, we know. For some of us that's inescapable because of our careers/jobs, or if we use Google search on our own devices on our networks compared to alternative platforms. Even your smart lightbulbs are gathering data on you. Android (AND Android TV) is Google:
