Robots owners got big bucks which means power. They need ROI, not sidewalks (also, guess do they use sidewalks or cars?).

For your own safety, don't use TPM! It's most probably like a Trojan horse.

> Two different security teams, one from California security company Calif (as part of OpenAI’s “Patch the Planet” program) and another from Israeli-U.S. cloud security company Wiz (they’re part of Google Cloud, apparently), both found these two Remote Code Execution (RCE) bugs in PHP.

Am I the only surprised that Google and OpenAI do not care to allow time to patch this before releasing it in the wild?

Of course it should be connected! Must be! How else would a manager sell customers data in real time to anyone who wants to buy it?

It's so boring to just sell fridges, let's spy on customers and sell that data! /s

Sad world of greedy things.

The shit will go on until those who makes such decisions start going to jail regularly.

One of those "temporary workarounds" that live forever once added?
It's probably about power. Certs control is getting higher value, so control over this policy means more negotiation power with whatever states (governments) need from platforms.

It's easy to imagine something like: "give us some grant taxpayers money and we'll add your cert to our trusted list/remove theirs cert/disable cert when run on this hardware/etc."

Re:Verisign .com Domain Name Registry Consumer Class Action on Monday October 19, 2026 @02:04AM (#50148910)
I'm curious. That's the class action from US residents. Would this thing effectively force Verisign to overcharge those purchasing .com domains from outside of the US (while lowering the price for those inside the US)?

Does TLS (transport layer) not have any retry logic? Could someone explain please?

It does! It helps getting promotion with tokenmaxxing.

Edit: dismiss my comment.

There are several links to 404 pages in credits section which makes me think this project is a total slop. Hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for letting us know that it's mainly the surveillance device. The advanced one.

Users will go use Apple. The next round of enshittification is on. As no competition with "open" anymore.

Go and vibe-code your mobile OS. Lol.

They do! They just hate it.

Nice way to avoid the responsibility for any team fuckup: it's not me, I only teach them, they decide themselves.

> My question is: what's the point of the AI in the search engine if it itself isn't going to use the search engine first before answering?

AI is sold well because the user either corrects it or happily accepts any answer (usually, depending if one is an expert in the question's field).

Search is not the google's area, and it is not the search they sell! They sell ads.
