I’d prefer to waste the capacity than to waste the power and heat buildup that would result from not wasting the capacity.

Plug in a mini PC, run Kodi. Or just plug in a Blu-ray player. Mission accomplished.

In that thread I don’t see any claims about TVs. Only about Amazon smart devices (like a Fire Stick) doing the same.

Most clients will not agree to pay extra for a more secure web site though. Unfortunately. Unless they’ve been bitten in the past, which most businesses still haven’t.

I don’t know — the proof’s in the pudding but I’m not buying a slice to find out.

Vibe coding pro tip: do not let the AI write the copy on your front page.

I’m not paying a dime for something that reads like slop. I’m assuming the engineering is to the same standards.

I don’t think you’d need the masses. They’ll be signing up one family group at a time. Tech savvy users will convince their parents to join for pics of the grandchildren - who’s gonna say no?

At least some enterprise IDS /AFW could presumably have a signature configured for this traffic scenario.

For a deployed server, yes, you’d probably need to first get inside their network, then using some other exploit or social engineering, cause the server to reboot and then provoke this vulnerability and gain a persistent shell on the server.

This may sound like a movie-plot threat in 2020, but perhaps in 2026 it’s less unlikely?

There’s also the theft scenario, as indicated in the article, or the supply chain attack scenario. I don’t know how feasible it would be for a buyer to validate the integrity of the hardware they just racked up if they can’t trust secure boot?

Can you play Netflix or Disney+ in a browser on Linux in full 4K and HDR?

I remember that being a problem in the past, that you were limited to lower resolutions.

I believe Mistral models are fairly capable at cybersecurity tasks, but I don’t think you could get anything useful out of anything smaller than Mistral Large 4.

Let’s see how much longer foreign talent continues to be attracted to US universities. Lots of PDHs have been deported already.

It’s fairly safe to say that every user who still didn’t upgrade to 27 by now, has made an active choice to postpone the upgrade.

A suggestion: write the reader yourself next time you’re launching a product/project. It’s painful to always be reading this Claudeish prose.

That’s not what lobbying is, though. If have “no dog in the fight”, you are unlikely to try to influence a politician any which way. Lobbyists appear because someone with money is willing to pay for the lobbyist to apply their talents, and why would they if they had no “dog in the fight”?

Surely their purpose is both? I haven’t read the specific stipulations Rodin put on this museum he founded but I assume he didn’t mean for them to not display his works.

TBF the food places here that have photos on the menus are either chain restaurants or really bad fast food. In the latter case, the photos are flat, grey and unappetizing. (Because food photography is hard.)

Good restaurant in my locale do not have photos of their food.

I suppose the AI possibilities mean that the bad fast food places will start having decent (fake) photos which doesn’t really make that much of a difference to me.

LLM driven agents aren’t even that.

How about they: 1. Don’t want hack competitors launching products using their code 2. Don’t want the resulting fracture in the community

If I were Signal I wouldn’t want either of those.

Yes, that is probably their reasoning.

I agree with your framing of the two problems, but I’d add a third: It is a large mistake to assume that the person installing the TV (thus agreeing to the ToS) is going to be present whenever it is being used around new people. It just assumes too much about the way people organize their lives, homes, purchases.

> It’s reasonable to push the burden of procuring that consent onto whoever controls entry to the space, with terms like this.

I don’t agree. I think if consent can’t be obtained, the only reasonable action here is to not collect the information.

The comparison to a zoom meeting is not 100% because if you’re walking past such a camera, you’re pretty likely to notice it and have the option to not step into view or obscure your face.

False premise. Many (most?) smart TVs will work without first connecting them to the network.

You still need users to jump through all the hoops of installing the game data files, or you’d be on very shaky ground concerning copyright.

Intent matters in a court of law. A judge or a jury will consider:

- did you intend for the data to be destroyed in an eventual search?

- probably yes, because you went to the trouble to set up a duress password

- is it reasonably that you mixed up the two passwords? No, because only an idiot would make them similar and you're clearly no idiot, because you were able to set up a phone with a duress password.

- hence, you intentionally made the officer wipe your data, and you will be held liable.

It doesn't make any difference if the destroyed potential evidence is physical or digital.

The law as written is stupid, but that does not mean courts are stupid.

It is rather funny to look at how some programmers believe they can "trick" the law. It does not work like computer code!

Hence why travelers should simply not cross the border carrying sensitive data, ever. The Internet can take that data across the border for you.

What the point of this hypothetical?

In real life they would break the lock on your valise and return it to you bound together with tape.

Not in Sweden, as far as science knows. It’s a more likely explanation than orangutans, but not by much.

Folklore’s roots go deeper than a single species.

Swedish tradition has it that trolls would replace human babies with their own babies. It does not take a long leap of imagination to to see how this could be used as an excuse for the practice of putting unwanted/deformed babies out into the forest ”for the wolves”. (Disclaimer: I don’t know how common that practice might have been, since it would presumably stem from prehistoric times)

Thanks for teaching me the word ”litotically”!

In real life, there is no maintenance hatch to punch out , because the elevator manufacturer doesn’t want to be liable for people falling down an elevator shaft or being crushed.
