I worked in IT for a major retail chain in the US. I was on the team in charge of store systems. We knew what devices were connected to the network, and if we had a vulberable device like this, we would have sent an urgent message to store managers to disconnect themm immediatly, and we would have followed up with scans over several days to ensure it happened. There is no excuse. (If we really needed the devices connected, we would have put them on a firewalled VLAN, which we could have pushed out in hours and had across the nation within days at most.). Granted, ideally we would have already had them VLANed.

It is incompetence to not have this capabilty.

"In the meaning of the European Union Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases,the term database refers to a collection of independent works, data or other materials, which have been arranged in a systematic or methodical way, and have been made individually accessible by electronic or other means. In the meaning of the Directive the data or materials:

    must not be linked, or must be capable of separation without losing their informative content;
    must be organised according to specific criteria, which means that only planned collections are covered;
    must be individually accessible – mere storage of data is not covered by the term database."

It seems like model weights does not clear the definition of a database in EU law- notably, they are not a collection of individual works that are individually accessible.

>> The emerging consensus across different jurisdictions is that purely AI‑generated content with minimal to no human creativity does not qualify for copyright protection. By contrast, works created with the use of AI‑applications may still enjoy copyright protection, where substantial human creativity has been exercised. Whether this threshold is met must be assessed on a case‑by‑case basis.

This makes sense, I believe it will eventually become the clear case in the US as well. However, it does leave open the case where a human carefully crafts a series of prompts to produce an creative work that qualifies for copyright.

Further, this does not appear to be binding on courts within the EU?

Generally, courts have levied fines for copyright infringement rather than forcing ooen sourcing of code. The times when code has been open sourced are usually settlements to avoid a fine.

A weak attempt to one-side a visibly both-sided issue.

They can buy and sell the stock. If they weren't okay with it, they could not buy, or sell if they already own.

I am using a Pixel 7 now, bought specifically to ensure I can run Graphene, but there is a high likelihood I will be getting a Moto phone for my next one!

State broadcaster are usually funded from state funds (taxes) not voluntary memberships. Furthermore, taxpayers don't usually get to vote directly on what content should be produced. With cooperatives, there could be multiple coops that focus on different groups. They could even join together on productions across coops. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Personally, I would like to see more competition in some of those spaces. But if the government is going to enforce any sort of competitive restrictions, it should go all the way and own it. For electricity, they could own the transmission lines and allow competitors to generate and sell electricity. The government could then charge a fixed monthly fee per connection (based on capacity, so industrial users would pay a lot more than homeowners for their connections).

Switch to GrapheneOS, or Lineage.

Yeah because those indie developers test on such a wide variety of hardware...

> It's definitely against the license terms you get when you purchase a game through steam to run it on arbitrary hardware

Is it??? I don't see anything in the Steam agreement about what hardware I am using?

Looking at outputs alone can't tell you how good the system is, you also have to consider the inputs.

When was this removed? Are there still limits on residencies?

In the USA, I think most of the times it is a specially trained triage nurse (Usually an RN with additional special training), not an doctor, and not a random volunteer or medical student.

If they didn't limit the number of doctors that can be trained, there wouldn't be as much of a finite supply of resources. Furthermore, how does one decide "quality of life"? What the politicians and bureaucrats think is "quality of life" rarely matches what the patient thinks. Often, it the politician and bureaucrats prioritize what benefits them the most.

As far as wait times in the USA, yes, we have bureaucrats and politicians artificially limiting supply. But, it is only as bad as you say in select areas of the country, and in most cases urgent matters ate attended to faster.

I agree that the USA has stupid limits in place, but it is for different reasons, and I don't think it is nearly as bad as in some other countries. We can, and should do better though.

While not fully tested in court, I am kf the opinion the mkdel wieghts are nkt copywritabke, thus I am lersonally at leave to ignore their stupid not open license and use the wieghts as I see fit. Anyone else doing this should be advised to consult with an attoruney and be prepared to defend themselves in court.

Buried in the Citizenlab report are links to CVEs from Windows and Chrome that the report says were exploited. These CVE's date back to the early 20's and have been patched.

As I skimmed the CitizenLab report, it was particularly interesting to see the history of the company and how they may have been acquired specifically to use as a covert operation.

So "poaching" has always meant "hiring employees that currently work for competitors"?

The article contains no information on which browsers are impacted, what exploit is being used, if it has been patched, etc? Does anyone know more about how this ad network is exploiting browsers to install spyware on the users machine?

I wouldn't call Raymond Hill a "random" Canadian guy. I am also fairly certain that these same organizations rely on code written by even more obscure, random individuals every day.

To clarify, what I am objecting to is taking a term for something with a massive negative societal impact, and trying to apply it to something that has a massive societal positive impact, in order to make the positive thing sound like a negative thing. I am all for the evolution of language, especially when it serves society.

Indeed, they are. I should have said they aren't wild game.

Within the employment context, is it ever a negative? Only from the perspective of the competitor? But to society as a whole, "poaching" (hiring) employees is clearly a massive win.

Your web browser also has the ability to read and alter anything on any website, do you trust the makers of your web browser? (And everyone else in the supply chain...)

Poaching is when one illegally hunts wildlife. People are not animals, and hiring them is not harming them. It is a terrible term to apply to human beings.

I don't know about all password managers, but with Bitwarden you can export to a JSON file.

If your password vault supports https://fidoalliance.org/specifications-credential-exchange-... you can. (Bitwarden does)

Or just fork the OSS bitwarden client?
