I can make one, yes. We thought it was irresponsible to release it at the time. But hey, times change. Will update shortly.

Yes. It is possible intercept keystrokes for an Apple keyboard that has been previously connected to a computer or laptop. It was tested as part of this vulnerability for Apple shortcuts: https://jestlandia.github.io/apple-shortcuts-vulnerability-1....

You still have to switch it "on" which means it is emitting a BT signal. It leaves users vulnerable to keylogging via BT. It's well-attested and was reported to Apple in Q4 2022.

Ideally the on/off switch would not control both the power and BT.

I like the magic mouse, and I care that I can't charge it while using it. I also care that I have to activate bluetooth in order to use it, even if it's plugged in. Same with the keyboard. WTFF.

It'd be awesome if Apple could make skins for the iMac. That way it wouldn't look as dated in 3-5 yrs.
I think that's the point. Amazon doesn't want to share.

I cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. Good riddance.

It's not a conspiracy theory. It's business as usual for AWS. I'm all for righteousness but that's not applicable to the US Government and DOJ. People are bought and sold all the time.
Didn't realize LeCun had crossed over into political analyst. Meta sure does give people imagined affordances.

It seems the gift of free AWS cloud services reconciles all harm Amazon continues to do against customers and employees alike. The government will need to locate its backbone.

What happened to the whole "importance of prioritizing safety and ethics in AI development" and "responsible scaling" mission statement? Funny how fast this gets dropped. Where is the government body enforcing accountability?
Re:Amazon Says It Has a First Amendment Right to Union Bust on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @08:28PM (#41920250)
Amazon is somehow become more deplorable than Walmart. Didn't think it was possible.
Re:FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @03:31PM (#41917838)
Amazon is currently providing a LLM-generated summary of these faked customer reviews. To abide by the FTC ruling, Amazon would now have to prove that all of their training data is legitimate customer reviews. Do you think they will actually do that?
Re:FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @03:29PM (#41917801)
Amazon must be quaking in their boots.
Re:PSA: Don't use iPhone Mirroring on your work computer on Saturday October 19, 2024 @01:50AM (#41885895)
FYI: Amazon has been doing this to all employees who download any work related apps, since at least 2020.
Blue Origin could never.

Agree. Repetition (e.g., crucial) in ChatGPT is an issue.
Dave Clark is poison.
This has already happened with ChatGPT.
how does this work in a 2-party consent state, like California? seems illegal.
Re:AI agent promotes itself to sysadmin, trashes boot sequence on Thursday October 03, 2024 @07:51PM (#41736312)
I wonder how many have already been pushed under the guise of human-agent (e.g., copy-paste from ChatGPT/CoPilot).
I love my CD car player.
As part of the agreement, TMobile has to harden IT security and show proof (e.g., CISO who reports regularly to feds, adoption of Zero Trust, adoption of minimal data retention policy). Why TMobile must have their hand held like this is beyond me.

Thin veil to disguise the reignition of nuclear arms race.
Re:NSA's Amazon-developed cloud environment progressing 'well' on Friday September 20, 2024 @11:58AM (#41603228)
It's how Amazon pays its fines. Amazon gives away free/heavily discounted cloud to government. It makes government dependent on Amazon, so Amazon won't go bankrupt. Pretty gross.
