First, I absolutely hate having to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll to try and figure out what's going on.

Second, I read this:

"The current prototypes already decode open-ended silent speech in real time, and accuracy continues to improve as we collect more data and train larger models. Like any input method, it can occasionally get something wrong, so the product is designed to use context and easy corrections rather than pretending errors never happen."

And I have to ask, does this mean everything I vocalize is being sent to an unknown server to be analyzed, potentially read by a person, and then used to train your model further? Because that's clearly not going to fly for either me or my employer. You need to be crystal clear what information people are potentially sharing with you before they purchase your devices.

They do not state anything clearly.

I started reading it and did myself a favor by stopping. It seems more like some stream of consciousness blathering rather than something I devote my time to.

It wasn't long ago that companies like Google were advocating for zero trust networks that avoid the need for VPNs!

That is more or less completely untrue.

You understand that 911 is a central dispatcher, not to the police specifically, right? That they default more to the police is a completely different issue.

And I much prefer only having to worry about remembering 911. In Norway I'm supposed to remember to call 112 for the police, 110 if there's a fire, and 113 if I need an ambulance or am having a medical emergency.

Not trending down anywhere near enough. Their PE Ratio is absurd, but it definitely proves the adage that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

And as a nerd, while it's a cool demo in a controlled environment, cars like that are the last thing I want on the road near me as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian!

It feels more like a writing exercise - too many extraneous details right from the start: "I am a LegalTech Attorney leading a developer team" feel necessary if you're telling a story, but is completely irrelevant if you're reporting an issue. And $5.04?? Who knows their spending requirements to that level of specificity?

Is it possible? I guess, but I doubt they're being honest about what was being displayed on the screen.

You can only RECEIVE 500 emails per month on either your free or $4/month plan?!? That's completely and utterly insane.

Fastmail is expensive. The author mentions Purelymail at around $10/year compared to $60/year for Fastmail.

If the purifier can filter the air more quickly than air leaves the room it'll still reduce the amount of pollutants in the air. Most people aren't going to create a "clean side" and "dirty side" setup for filtering the air in a room.

At least 2 hours before, not 1, and preferably closer to 24 hours before.

Unfortunately HIV is not a solved problem.

Condoms? They break. More frequently than you might think.

Truvada and Descovy are great and make a big difference, but they require either high adherence to taking pills daily or being able to plan ahead for 2-1-1 (for same-sex relations - it's effectiveness for heterosexual intercourse hasn't been determined).

Apretude and Lenacapavir obviously require getting to a doctor or someone who can give you the injection either every other month or twice a year, is expensive, and can be very painful for some days afterward. And, of course, they're expensive.

A vaccine is the only real option for dealing with HIV for good.

That's absolutely not correct. Truvada has had the same formulation since it was introduced in 2012. Descovy hasn't changed since it was approved in 2019.

You may be thinking of STD tests and bloodwork that is done every 3-6 months depending on your risk level to ensure that you're still HIV negative and that your kidneys are functioning normally, as kidney issues is a rare but serious side effect, especially for Truvada.

Now, what I believe is correct is that most people on PrEP would love to have a vaccine instead of needing a daily pill or even 2-6 injections per year as long as they remain sexually active.

Your very first sentence is "It began in ancient Rome." That's more than 'unfortunate wording'.

Rules generally come around due to bad behavior, which I would suggest submitting the same thing every other day for a week constitutes. It's also a very niche topic, even for this site, and not particularly useful or interesting.

Why do you feel the need to submit this 4 times over 1 week?

Just a green background and some text on Firefox.

Or it's more that people recognize that this isn't a "Zero-Click RCE" and we're tired of people trying to claim that every damn bug is a huge security risk.

If an attacker can already either modify the existing shortcuts.xml file or convince me to download and run a .lnk file that links to a different one they managed to get onto my computer then they don't need to use Notepad++ to do their dirty work.

I have the opposite problem. I often have to ask ChatGPT about things related to Norway and I have to constantly correct it when it keeps switching to responding in Norwegian no matter how many times I tell it to only answer in Norwegian when I request it.

A good lawyer can probably make the case that the profiles you view if tracked is your data that you are allowed to see under GDPR. But claiming that knowing who views you is part of GDPR seems like a big stretch.

Better for them to focus on the companies that don't allow you to opt out of what should be considered optional tracking without paying them.

Yeah, no, that's an insane claim to make. Obviously American education covers some information about religion in history classes, but that level of detail about catholic history is not normal curriculum for elementary, middle, or high school.

No. Trump represented what seemed like a solution to just enough people who were willing to change their votes from one party to another, and didn't represent enough of a threat to most of the people who might have been swayed to switch their vote away from the Republican party.

The issue with voters choosing more right-wing populist parties is not unique to the US.

I don't. Instead Facebook tries to shove right-wing crap down my throat. I'd rather see the thirst trap posts, to be honest.

Snapchat, on the other hand, I had to uninstall because the stuff they tried to make me view was completely and utterly disgusting (think pimple-popping vids and worse). There was only one person left that I communicated with through their app, so it wasn't a real loss for me.

Honestly, I guess it's a fine article for someone who isn't very technical, but it provides very little real detail, and this wasn't an example of DNS breaking anything - it worked as designed.

The biggest pain of DNS for most people is if someone has set the TTL to an absurdly large number, or if a resolver isn't respecting TTL. And once you get into advanced configurations, SOAs and delegation certainly create their own headaches!

No, why would it? When I take the bus, subway, or train, nobody is checking IDs - at most they check if I have a valid ticket, which can be bought with cash.

I've flown many times within the EU/EEA without showing an ID, so I fail to see why traveling within the US should be any different. I've spent most of my life in the US, but the only times I've been in close proximity of terrorist events have been in Norway (Breivik's bomb went off two blocks away from where I worked at the time, and more recently the shooting outside London Pub that killed two and injured multiple others).

I wish I understood why the US feels the need to overreact to everything.

Plenty of people have an ID in the US, the issue is whether or not those IDs are considered valid to get past security in the airport.

Did you know that Norway only introduced a national ID card in 2020? Until then if you didn't have a driver's license the only other state-issued ID option was a passport, and 10% of Norwegians don't have one. Until around 2015 or so banks would issue your bank card with a photo and your birthdate on it, and that was used as a de facto ID.

I've flown between plenty of EEA countries without ever having to show an ID. The requirement to have one in the US is incredibly stupid and only serves to make it harder for decent people to travel. It provides no actual value to safety.

Thank you! I can't understand posting Twitter links when there's an actual source of information!

I'm guessing you quit after the small value toll exemption was removed?

That's plausible, but I'd expect the UEFI patches to come from a vendor, not Microsoft. So if one came from Qualcomm, and they didn't properly specify the devices it should be installed on, that wouldn't make it Microsoft's fault.
