This constant appeasing of investors makes me really sad so here’s a message for the Withings PR team, I know you guys are reading this. I will never in a million years, not when hell freezes over, pay 100 dollars to you. I use the synching now, it’s nice, but you’re really over evaluating how I would not be able to just write a 3 digit number directly in apple health. It takes 10 seconds. If I am enoyed enough, I’ll just hack it and bypass your app completely. I.OWN.THE.DEVICE.

It’s not speculative if you get to have a glance behind closed doors https://archive.ph/3wUEN

Same but my son gets them A LOT. he was watching gaming content and that was that

You assume wrong if you’re taking about old-school banks. They’ll still scan your id and it ends up in the same system

What you on about? A gallon of diesel is 5,9 euros in Italy and 8,6 euros in Germany. In other countries anywhere in between

Do we have another source that’s not an excerpt of an article?

There‘s a checkbox called “Enhanced Protection” (name might vary, I have the app in another language) that specifically says it’s for stuff like YouTube

Great! Maybe this time around I’ll manage to get the email notifications going

I don’t have YouTube ads with Safari and AdGuard

I was on the resort’s WiFi, no vpn. What is strange maybe is that if I search my outgoing ip address, the resort is listed as the ISP

I am currently in Italy (just passing through) and was able to open the archive link with the article

You can jailbreak your kindle and get similar functionality through KOReader plugins https://omer-faruq.github.io/appstore.koplugin/

I am a complete legal layman here. What is the actual damage produced by this leak? What can actually be asked for in a trial should it go there? Money? Or is this just a normal hacking case and some cyber law was broken?

This reads to me like “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”

I am shocked by the comments in this thread ranging from “yeah but humans also make mistakes” to “yeah but how many mistakes does an AI do compared to a human”. Neither of those is the point here. We have doctors that have employed AI as a software to help them and that software is flawed. I am a software developer and if I write some piece of medical software with bugs that are so blatant in it, I'd see hell up to potentially being sued into oblivion

It’s the same in Romania where they use the system for every little thing from it’s raining heavily (often the alert comes during said heavy rain) or a nearby fire, or one infamous message saying something on the lines of “here comes the bear” when a bear was spotted within city limits. And it’s loud so a lot of people simply disabled the alerts altogether. But now that the real alerts are coming - see Russian drones entering the country, many people have them disabled

I avoid speaking to AIs in anything else than English as the results are almost always worse

There is one rule of thumb that I’ve noticed: if you are a reasonable person and integrate you will be treated as one of their own. Otherwise not.

Your article mirrors my own experience 1:1, it’s like I’ve written it myself. Apart from the citizenship process. Even though it was also 14 months long (eerie lol), I had to do a lot of noise about it, because they are processing applications out of order (some people got theirs in two weeks, some in two years, no rhyme or reason) - press, meetings with local politicians etc. Which helped my personal case but didn’t fix the problem at all.

> unless Ebay was run by a group of cruel Kindergarteners

I’ve been in the corporate world long enough in my life to know that that is not out of the question

* with a few universally hated exceptions

ACSM, I don’t know about Amazon. In my case I can still use the kindle software itself to read those if I decide to ever buy from Amazon again

Same for Kindle. Nothing changes, you just have a link to open KOReader and you can still use your device as before, if you choose to

I’ve only just installed it this week, but for me:

- DRM support (via a Plugin)

- Dark mode on an older device

- SSH Server

- Custom dictionaries

Next on my list is to find a plugin that can transform imperial to metric for when I’m reading American books

Edit: oh and also something that syncs my progress on books not bought from Amazon on multiple devices

I had no idea I can update it manually, I’ve always relied on the over the air update, that, in this case, says I’m on the newest version

I’ve just jailbroken my Kindle this week. I have a Paperwhite 7th Generation and my biggest problem was that I didn’t have dark mode on it. Turns out the only reason that is is because Amazon didn’t want me to have it. Maybe maybe I’ll buy a new device. KOReader has no problem with dark mode and is much faster and snappier than the Kindle software.

What’s funnier is that both my son and my wife have the Paperwhite 10th generation, but only my wife’s device has dark mode. Same exact device, different software depending on when it was bought.

The second major reason for Jailbreaking is that KOReader can do DRM through a plugin so I was finally able to loan out ebooks from my library. No need for a new device, the 10 year old one works extremely well with the right software

What exactly would be subsidized by the people taking the train if the people driving up to (not parking at!) the airport wouldn’t pay a fee?

I may be a socialist but being able to bring your heavy luggage to the door of the place you already pay a fee to be at (airport taxes) should be free, no? Like in all other parts of Europe

And they say, oh, no, you can come for free if you’re willing to walk 15 minutes to the terminal. No, that’s greed plain and simple.

Are these not the guys that ask like 7 pounds to drive up to kiss & fly? Good to see that money’s put to good use!

you're not wrong at all, this was abysmally handled by Anthropic and is a slap in the face for OP. I would have been much more upset
