I just wonder how unlimited is the free egress, generally with these kind of providers there's either a hidden or public limit in the 10-100x the storage range, which is obviously easy to hit with any media providing service.

The amount of times I've gotten told a password and it contains birth year or anniversary year, maybe child birth year, is insane. I'd say 9 times out of 10 it's that or a dictionary word.

Explaining your life to an llm, then having it generate permutations of passwords to try does sound like it would work a decent percentage of the time. A large percentage of passwords aren't a random string of characters but a memorabl

Wife goes "was this you?" "no, I must have been hacked". The stats I've seen actually did put the charge back rate is high compared to other industries. What does seem like a scam though is, especially in the digita

Thanks for the link, I didn't realize the EFF spent their money on such things. I honestly thought they focused on free speech/privacy/open source. I'm not trying to argue pro Israel or what not, I just wish they'd

I don't know when Obsidian gathered the hate I'm seeing here, but 'bad plugins' is a failure mode of most everything that has plugins. Personally it feels similar to being mad at Windows if you were to install an exe som

It's useful for things like elections, where though popular media might push one line of thought primarily, the markets will adjust to be closer to the reality. Pretty visible in the 2024 elections where if you followed mainstream medi

If even the district court rules this way it's hard to see a World where the supreme court doesn't also rule that way. Unless there's been court packing by then of course.

I can't help but think of the classic XKCD example of breaking a user's workflow [1]. Doing research though a spinlock actually doesn't seem as unusual a hack as it would first seem, do drivers and the like not have similar i

This has to be one of the strangest "debates" in history. Congress and the courts obviously. If you think there's a hole in the law tell your congressman, don't, for some reason, try and put Google or any Ai company abov

Yea, op just handwaved away all scalability. Guessing their response would be 'launch more vms'.

I have trouble not believing the 'theory' that it's the carrot that gets some percentage of voters out to vote for you. Actually solving it removes the carrot. And with most presidential elections actually being quite close,

If it was at all true there'd be companies out there offering to build you rooftop solar in exchange for x years of the generation value. That that industry doesn't exist is pretty much proof that the numbers aren't what they

Home HVAC is the most obvious current regulatory caused scam in the US. Virginia just added an 'easier' license that 'only' requires two years of experience to receive (and 160 hours of formal training, but that's n

The walmart near me apparently doesn't even use the scale at all, I had a full cart once and asked the attendant what to do, and they said just put the bag back in the cart. The grocery store down the street though is exactly like this

Isn't the most obvious end game just (if using the same packaging) some note on a spec sheet of "12 hours screen on time (10 hours in the EU)"? If it's not configurable people will likely complain battery life is higher

That's the one where one of the pilots pulled up the entire time, ignoring an alarm literally blaring the word "stall" for 2 minutes. The poor captain found out I the last 10s what he had been doing but it was too late. A cou

Even if you think Space travel is worth the money (which I personally do), adding humans to the mix makes projects incredibly more expensive. Even in the realm of space travel and research, sending humans is a questionable use of the money.

There are around ~500 millions guns in the US according to a quick Google. There's a lot of crime in the US, but I doubt even 1% of the guns have been used in a crime. Also you can buy a gun and just shoot it at a range.
