Now that there's legal precedent for this, I can't wait to sign my cellphone and internet contracts with emojis when they're up for renewal to see if they'll accept them - somehow I doubt it. Pictures are ambiguous. A re

At least Niantic's CEO is honest when they say the real reason they're laying people off is because of the excess hiring they did during covid when white-collar workers and many kids were stuck at home and glued to their phones&#x

How would you be able to know if something is AI generated if it's not outright stated in the product description? "Yes, I intentionally designed the static image of this man to have 5 and a half fingers on one hand with a distort

I've heard people make references to the Occupy Wall Street protests a decade+ back being the catalyst for corporations and governments to start using "diversity" as a wedge issue to distract and divide people into groups to

Looks like the researchers or the building managers didn't have enough precautions put in place to prevent something like this from happening. I assume places like datacenters have power redundancy and have strict requirements to lock

If you're going to fight the supposed massive tidal wave of "misinformation", you'd think that scientists or advocates for scientists would be champing at the bit to debate someone like RFK, even if RFK is coming into it

It's been shown that people are able to rip headlights out of vehicles, plug into diagnostic ports behind them, unlock the doors and start the car. [1] If criminals are able to figure out and exploit a relatively simple compromise, wha

As someone who lives across the world from San Francisco where electric cars are not currently feasible for year-round driving - how does an electric grid like California's accommodate such a large increase in electricity usage? I gues

Probably a very _very_ controversial and unpopular opinion - though I welcome any insight or opinions from others. Reddit is fully within their rights to seize the subreddits from their unpaid moderators and I would expect them to if they&#

The guy wasn't doing too good in the first place - not sure if it was suicide, or more so "just let me end this, I'm in no position to live anymore" - I think he had cancer... Ted was right about a few things - I casuall

I love how Google casually shifts the blame to the device manufacturers to avoid any flak. Don't make it on by default unless you make it blatantly clear to the user - because nobody really cares about phone updates, they'll just

Alternatively, buying and maintaining a second vehicle (insurance, wear and tear, etc.) is more expensive than just using your current vehicle, which you already need to use a few times a month to haul things in the bed which you'd pre

I remember leaving my computer on overnight in my room and being startled awake by a really loud pig squeal when Avast detected a virus on my PC. Just looked up what Avast looked like in the 2000's. The aftermarket car stereo GUI[1] ju

My terminology may be wrong, but I would assume these ad-blockers are great until streaming platforms catch up and embed ads directly into the video stream. Twitch is getting close to that. They directly inject video ads into streams at ran

I have a hard time paying attention to media - probably something to do with ADHD - I find the subtitles make me focus more on the content of the movie/show as it's a visual aid. I can see how having subtitles on can be annoying a

I guess you could classify myself as "not a programmer" since I don't do it daily, and I mostly make scripts and small web APIs in python for tinkering around with IoT stuff. ChatGPT has made it incredibly easy for me to prog

When you're a global company that has to balance between cozying up with other countries to keep relations and catering to advertisers - it's not surprising to see them take an overabundance of caution and outright remove videos l

Governments seem to think they have the right to tell their citizens what they can and can't see for some vague, washy terms like "safety" or "for your own good". Sure it has good intentions like removing explicit i

I wonder if it runs on top of Android. Hopefully would make it easy to exploit and flash new software onto it. Maybe get one of those prepaid credit cards and put it on the Telly account so if they see you haven't turned your TV on or

Hey, I wouldn't consider it diatribe - just general observations. I don't know exactly how much food is exported, I don't know how much nitrogen is emitted. Neither does anybody else unless they pay for access to the article

That sounds so short-sighted. Food is arguably the second most crucial resource on earth next to fresh water for humans to exist, and the country is choosing to kneecap food production instead of developing new farming technologies to limit

Human lives are at stake and all Cruise can recommend is "call the hotline and we'll send someone out to move the vehicle" otherwise you're cutting it open. Can they guarantee someone will be out there in minutes or hour

If prisoners can make anything into a poker, or blade, or any kind of implement meant for bodily harm - removing kitchen knives from the homes of criminals will do next to nothing but further increase the grip of authoritarianism.
