Personally I only use it for battery savings when camping or similar. It's not the kind of thing everyone cares about. I think we're long past the days where a flight full of phones frantically searching for towers during takeoff&

When you say theft, do you mean by someone with interest in the hardware or the data? Assuming hardware, I'm not sure I understand why a thief who intends to wipe it anyway would care about an auto restart versus normal screen lock. As

Awesome! (Unrelated: Now I just need to figure out how to overcome all these "Admiral" nags that are chipping away at my love for filtering on half of the legitimate news sites... any advice?)

Would it be best practice for filter list maintainers to purge on expiration, though? Bad actors would be able to take advantage of that. Until there's a standard around this, maybe blacklisted domains should just remain unused.
249.
by hunter2_ 2y ago
Yeah but after carefully overriding, TFA is basically saying that it's sharing a story about how this very domain used to be nefarious and no longer is... So I think it's just stuck in deny lists despite new ownership?

Not only that, but my filtered DNS is resolving it to a page saying (if I proceed through the certificate mismatch) it "blocked access to baways.com because it’s in our database of phishing and malicious domains"

I assume this mirroring is due to symmetry being more typical than not among the training data, and if instead trained with contrived diversity (e.g., males only conversing with females) then the output of the base model would follow suit w

Right, plenty of the artists parodied by Weird Al are individuals. Any permission sought (or denials respected) are purely for goodwill, not legally required. That said, Weird Al hasn't actually distributed unmodified trademarks of oth

I've never been a big fan of any such language, regardless of layoff context. Do enough people prefer it that it's actually a net win for business by way of improved morale or whatever? I wonder if it's been seriously studied

Right, considering that single-label names (indistinguishable from search queries) have been a thing since WINS/NetBIOS, DHCP suffixing, etc. -- expecting a dot (let alone a dot followed by a public suffix) is bogus.
