Won’t this thing actually help the AI models in the long run? The biggest issue I’ve heard is the possibility of AI generated images getting into the training dataset, but “poisoned” artworks are basically guaranteed to be of human origin.

“What’s a Computer?”

Where does the assumption that owners of these devices care about updates comes from? I regularly see people still using Windows 7, willing to use sketchy workarounds to continue using it. We all wish that this would mean The Year Of The Linux Desktop in 2025, but that would mean users would have to suddenly start caring about their OS.

I guess the article title has been changed, now it says “indefinite hospital order” which, as far as I understand, means reevaluation every 6 months until he’s deemed “safe” to society.

For anyone wanting to learn more there’s a bigclive video covering the extraction process.

I hope that the switch version would be easier to bypass as there’s no way they’re going to force you to connect to the internet to verify anything like the do on the PC.

FWIF I’ve tried TickTick and Todoist with paid plans, Google Tasks, Microsoft Todo and probably a few other free apps, and personally have settled on HedgeDoc for lists and Telegram for reminders. Nothing beats their simplicity and reliability.

Neurodivergent

I don’t think so? There’s “Find My” network from Apple and there’s this one from Google. The only intercompatibility planned is the alerts for unknown trackers following you.

<PUT MOST ND TRAITS HERE>

Well it used to be good, even non techy users knew that IE sucked and when their “computer-whizkid” nephew recommended Chrome it was genuinely faster and leaner than competition. And I’ve almost forgot the fact that they’ve advertised chrome (maybe they still do) on the main Google page that gets like billions of pageviews.

FWIW they at least have their own indexer instead of relying on bing/yandex (looking at you ddg). Although I guess selling content you’ve crawled as your own is still a pretty shady thing to do.

task.org seems to be an oldschool under-construction page, do you mean tasks.org? Also is there a reason you specifically recommend OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice or Collabora Office?

Surely a browser with a market share 2% that of Chrome’s (not total!) doing this will change anything. Surely when Google implements this and your bank and government websites start requiring your browser be “secure” users aren’t going to just switch back to chrome where “everything just works”.

From a psychological view, the best we can do is provide the information and hope that they come to the right conclusion themselves. You’re almost never going to convince a person by telling them that they’re wrong, and surely not by talking how their children are going to suffer and their house is going to get flooded.

Listen to this advice if the data is important to you. Also probably don’t do anything else to the card just in case you would make it worse.

Is there any information on the performance impact of the microcode fix or is it too early for that?

“Configure port forwarding” covers pretty much all of the steps. I don’t think that it would be any less secure than quickconnect through a relay, but if security is a priority, then look into setting up a VPN to your network instead.

You say you’re using QuickConnect, do you know if you’re getting a direct connection to your NAS or one through QuickConnect relay service? Maybe try opening the required ports and checking again.

Currently I can connect my phone to a set of speakers at a small local café, several of my expensive over ear headphones, aux input of my friend’s car, and a 70 cent lapel mic. Can I carry a dongle with me everywhere? Probably. Will I remember to do it? Probably not.
