I hate that banks do that, right after that asinine Apple/Google monopoly proliferation. But “giving my face” to an institute where I was, since forever, required to submit a photo ID to join is a far cry from handing it over to earn t

I don't what class of models they use here, specifically, but a generic classifier shouldn't depend on a single feature. And neighbourhoods don't typically get razed or remodeled/painted over in a fortnight. ... Except,

The existence of vulnerabilities, backdoors or otherwise, is the main reason why you’d want the ability to automatically patch things. Absolute resistance to auto updates (without assuming the responsibility of manual maintenance) is how yo

Automatic updates are not bad. Quite the opposite, it’s the lack of automatic patching that is dangerous. Win10/11’s problem isn’t auto updates, it’s the severely reduced user agency in the matter (and the quality of said updates, but
