I've looked into this, and found nothing. One can surely repurpose the case and speakers, but the microphones are soldered on-board, and the board is not hackable and needs to go. To best of my awareness, there are no ways to load a cu

Looks pretty obvious to me, although, of course, it took me a few moments to understand what's expected as a solution. c6e1b8da is moving rectangular figures by a given vector, 0d87d2a6 is drawing horizontal and/or vertical lines

Are AirTags actually useful for anti-theft purposes? I threw one in the trunk of my car (just in case - I ordered a 4-pack and I had a spare one), and every single time I drive somewhere it chirps loudly when I'm exiting my driveway, m

GP mentioned "sticker price", so I suspect they possibly meant physical goods or services. If you're in a retail store, there are no real obstacles (except for business unwillingness to be honest to the customer) to calculate

If a vendor wants their software proprietary and secret, I can respect that and would be perfectly fine with full hardware schematics and documentation. Since that's something I physically own anyway. In the ancient times, providing sc

I'm sorry but I do not fully understand what you're trying to say. I have used Microsoft products. I have a Windows VM, and an old Windows laptop somewhere. I have no love for Microsoft, and is perfectly aware they can do user-hos

I'm really curious now - which cards don't conform? I always thought it's basically an industry standard and no network issues cards that don't have a correct checksum.

It would be, if it would be stealthy enabled, unbeknown to machine owner. That - and not the fact it records screen - is what differentiates malware from legit software. It is opt-in, which makes it equivalent of user explicitly setting u

Stolen how? I don't get the fuss. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Recall is opt-in and keeps data on-device, and doesn't share it with any other systems or parties. And if one's device is compromised, they'

I’m not familiar with Cyc/OpenCyc, but it seems that it’s not just a knowledge base, but also does inference and reasoning - while LLMs don’t reason and will happily produce completely illogical statements.

However, we should consider that this is about online privacy features, which is a fairly hot topic nowadays. And it kind of feels that we got drape curtains* instead of a lock - and I think it's not exactly what people would reasonabl

More like Pijul or Darcs? Git is popular, but it's not particularly great at conflict resolution.

So, instead of fixing the issue (legal documents becoming a barely manageable mess) they’re investing money into making it… even worse? This world is so messed up.

I'm curious - what happens if one prunes the halved model again (if that's possible with the same method), would it start losing accuracy?

The issue is that a lot of IoT things won't even work unless they have Internet connection and a registered account. The careful approach to IoT is to never connect a device to anything, dump the firmware, analyze it, reflash the EEPRO
