This administrations brand is to sell government work (or non work) for personal favours and there literally accepting “exposure” as payment to signal how normalised they made it.

If you are a big enough name they don’t care how petty the bribe is. As long as it shows the world that they are open for this kind off business.

Every bribe, no matter how small is pure profit if you never owned what you’re selling.

I have done research into what product i should buy three times and i am still not sure enough to answer this. That says enough about how confusing the modern tech market is.

They are definitly proprietary and a competitor to LDAC from sony. Finding something that supports both sennheiser and sony headsets without being overpriced is a nightmare.

The renaming while still selling it with older packaging for years has been angering me since it happend.

Honestly it would not be so much of a problem if things where actually labeled appropriately with all the actual specs and support features on the package but its more profitable to keep you guessing (and going for the higher priced one just in case)

They do the same thing with Bluetooth audio transmission usb, their “high quality audio” and “ps5 compatible” but does not tell me wether it supports aptx or not?

Also the whole “buy a product clearly pictured with usb A type connector, receive a usb C type connector variant, if lucky, with an added adapter.

Cannot find the source for the pick but there is this where Bernie covers all the same points in different words:

I like to use dashes myself but the combination of overuse with other tells often does make me suspicious.

Which isn’t bad, even an intellectual can write things wrong, as ai can also write things right. Always read critically.

I didn’t think dashes where out of place here, but i did get a real ai vibe of the last paragraph. Is this something Bernie is really considering or is something to round up a generated list of scary scenarios. (Which are all existing valid concerns still)

I think a field sobriety test usually involves more then one test, at least if you can communicate a reasonable reason why you may fail one.

I believe they may also just look at your behaviour during the interaction.

“Couldn’t walk a straight line but mentioned a recent leg surgery”

Vs

“Couldn’t walk a straight line but believed they did, started an argument about it. Failed secondary test while continuing to insist they passed the first test”

On the one (windows) machine i actively use powershell i click the pinned start menu icon.

Windows has fucked my flow before by co opting my shortcuts. So this is the most reliable way.

On linux terminal is a shortcut, app launcher is a shortcut and searching apps to launch actually works and doesn’t open my browser that operates under a different privacy contract then your os settings.

I despised windows search long before i switched i just didn’t know any better.

People have hooked up scripts to automate trade based on celebrities using certain hashtags or other data for years.

A non insignificant portion of people has absolutely hooked up an ai to it. I don’t know any, but i take that bet in a heartbeat.

Some will do it responsibly, as an experiment with money they are prepared to loose.

Ai companies themselves might try this as an internal test, like how atrophic has claude managing a real vending machine (which got manipulated into selling tungsten cubes following customer feedback)

Others have probably completely destroyed their own lives. A few may have lucked out.

If its critical, don’t give it to ai without having a secured backup it can’t touch.

Can confirm i have also read this somewhere.

Also waiting for the more dedicated nerd to tell us all about the cool thing.

I assume this some kind of philosophical metaphor but as someone who isn’t into random acts of animal cruelty i have to ask for the answer.

Why not help?

I don’t know why it works but if i rename a .webp extension into a .png or .jpg it just works.

If you want to put in some work i can highly recommend self hosting a nextcloud/owncloud, maybe together with some family members.

Something more obscure you can do is create a shareable public link with or without password to share large files with whoever you want.

On the downside, whenever i see a professional use we transfer or the like i cringe massively.

Fancy seeing someone link this site.

Great resource and an inspirational passion project.

Besides tor, known any other alternatives?

Is this open source? I may want to self host if.

Yeah, for this reason i don’t plan to outright ban roblox and the like. I don’t want to be a fun-dictator.

Its also important that kids learn to deal with the reality that these games/practices do exist around them, and at some age i wont be there to guide every decision.

But there will definitely be “a talk” before i install anything remotely like it. Being capable of understanding the dangers is a requirement to get acces.

Damn this one stings.

Instead of wanting a video game as a present… They want a bunch of resources for the video game they already play.

And here i was assuming that with all the gamer parents, kids where going to be guided towards actually good games.
