How broadly applicable is it? From what I've read of machine learning powered classroom monitoring systems from Hikvision and the like require regular retraining (eg: new 360 degree photos) for each student as they age and change. Seem

They've had a decade to update to modern OpenSSL, but apparently even using a consistent version through one product's firmware is beyond Huawei's capabilities: https://hmgstrategy.com/resource-center/art

Huawei doesnt use version control, can't figure out how to update horribly vulnerable versions of OpenSSL, and does the bare minimum to get a somewhat working product out the door: https://hmgstrategy.com/resource-cente

This grand jury is certainly on a fishing expedition.

About time this farce of a subpeona was ended. Chelsea already testified once on the matter the subpeona was about iirc. Edit: subpeona was not quashed, grand jury's term expired.

Just what I observed that year, it reminded me of this: http://techrights.org/2009/07/15/ms-technical-evangelists-li... Most of the people I know stopped going to LFNW after the shitshow that was that year, t

Purism seems to be rather inept, they shat the bed with their recent Librem One product launch, whereby they rebranded Tusky and disabled all moderation tools on their Mastodon instance, then were suprised when their employees started quiti

Didn't some documents leak showing a Microsoft Evangelist killing Apple centric conferences? I know Microsoft tried to kill Linuxfest Northwest a few years back, sponsoring it and taking control of 1/3 of the floor space, both app

That is just a cross licensing agreement, not open source.

Sounds like Grab isn't doing basic Quality Control like cancelling unfulfilled rides after a reasonable time (eg: 30min to 45min).

GPS traces aren't anonymous. If you go the same places often, your GPS trace is easily traced to you.

The city contract requires they service the lowest income parts of the city first, hence the extremely patchwork rollout over the last few years. Due to the mandatory client base skew, the city is causing them to redline middle and high inc

For society it is not good to have a dearth of skilled writers, historians & teachers, but for the individual they don't want to end up with no job or a crappy $35k a year job in the middle of nowhere.

Par for the course, "security" industry people, especially the higher ups rarely make an effort to secure their communication. The best you can hope for is they likely use Signal, good luck getting their contact details or verifyi

Might as well still use platinum, easier to explain multiple tool chests (eg: I'm an avid mechanic) versus why you have gold tools.

Any medical related software seems to attempt customer lock-in in quite brazen ways in the USA. I'd hate to be trapped in that industry, dealing with baroque databases and shady business practices.

By 2025 they might figure out newer processes than 14nm, but even Intel and Global Foundries has hit a wall at 14nm. Samsung, TSMC and IBM are the only companies with productive sub-14nm fabs.

The problem with chip IP theft is the theif only has the IP they stole, not the skill to further develop or extend it (usually). The Qualcomm => Intel IP Theft that Apple facilitated is a great example, or AMD's licensing of the fir

I doubt KaiOS would switch to Chromium, the focus seems to be using near zero resources while remaining somewhat fast. Mozilla spent years with dozens to hundreds of devs working on getting it to be snappier than every other low end phone,

How could an MPL & GPL licensed project be closed sourced? Mozilla didn't relicense Firefox iirc.

Firefox OS has been rebranded as KaiOS, and its eating marketshare with $5 LTE bar and flip phones. Said devices are pretty minimally specced with a Qualcomm 205 and 128MB of Ram, but Mozilla did a great job optimizing for low end devices.

Even things Mozilla did pull support from and attempt to shutter, like Thunderbird and Firefox OS (now KaiOS) had vibrant communities that stepped up and kept these projects alive. Mozilla does know how to build a community around the proje

Firefox OS has been rebranded as KaiOS since Mozilla stopped working on it, and it has been gaining significant market share since then. A $5 LTE bar or flip phone based on a Qualcomm 205 with 128MB of ram isn't able to run Android (es
