Punish the consumer, ala the copyright war since the 90s

Load bearing (civil engineering), smoking gun (detective novels?), etc.

I use a skill file which states that it may internally use whichever terminology which fits, but that output presented to me must be phrased as if talking to a human, and within the terminology of the task at hand.

I don't specifically reference smoking gun, but its not been mentioned since.

I bought my mom an iPad and got her over to an iPhone exactly because of this.

I'd not mind if there was an unlock option, as long as it was tedious enough, such as connecting to a PC to do it. The android option of a few clicks under settings is definitely something I can see someone/some site convincing her to do.

Watusi was great, it let you disable the blue checkmark on Whatsapp. (Since been added as a setting)

I also used a tweak that let me auto-block certain phone prefixes that spammers used. Quite useful.

Was also useful that it allowed you to install multiple copies of an app (such as whatsapp), though no longer a need for that either.

Quite annoying. I've tried to explain it to them, but to no avail.

[dead] ?

Pure evil.

Results come back: Just some blood under the skin.

In Brazil, you'll typically get a "10% discount" when not paying by credit card.

Eg, it's very clearly pushed unto the consumer. I assume some law says they cannot charge more for it, so they got a default price, but always advertise a lower price with a small text "if paid via pix"

They are a bit worn, so a year or two I bought a new pair which are absolutely horrible to wear for any extended amount of time.

Been looking for a good replacement ever since, while my old ones are slowly wearing away. Plastic pieces chipping off the heel every week.

Every single pair of AirPods I've had has died due to one of them not charging anymore. I assume it's the battery.

No idea where/how/who looks into this though, so I've just bought new ones.

Anecdotal, sample size of 1.

The only reason I tried fable was because Opus 4.8 went down the same line of reasoning about it as ChatGPT did. Fable solved it a lot faster than the other 2 spent looking into "false clues".

Tesla and surprisingly Hyundai are outliers, the vast majority of cars have terrible infotainment systems, and them deciding to suddenly focus on it does not assure me at all.

Or that they all even run Windows in the first place.

On e24, opting out of cookies is a paid service.

It needs to render custom content, and the HTML renderer is much faster than I'm able to make it myself using the native API.

The vast majority of personal projects are not built by those receiving FAANG salaries.

Yesterday when I booted my windows 10 desktop PC I got a bunch of popups (Win32 MessageBox) about errors in some O365 AI dll files.

Turns out some MS AI software was silently installed on my PC in late may.

I do not have MS Office or anything that should require any AI software.

In practise though, how is this truly that different from system prompts?

They are essentially just trying to re-inforce that the system prompt must be respected.

By default setting, windows defender will upload "suspicious files" to Microsoft.

A while back I caught it trying to nab my OpenVPN installer which also contains the certificates.

The answer is clearly to buy stocks and then short it.

(/s!!)

I was told we're moving off Copilot and over to Claude desktop sometime this week.

Burned trough 30% of our included credits yesterday, while intentionally attempting to use less.

My Brazillian bank charges me 600% yearly interest on credit card purchases.

However, the cost of a lawsuit can quickly offset the costs of a CC. Depending on the state, there may not be a maximum cap on expenses, making lawsuits incredibly expensive. (Whereas having paid by card you could ask for a chargeback instead of needing to sue)

It's also a very time consuming ordeal having to sue vendors in these instances.
