If you don’t use the VPN for normal things then you leave yourself open to indentification by correlation. It’s the same rule for naive Tor users. The more normal and distributed it appears in traffic, the harder it is to correlate other pieces of data they they already have access to.

My tinfoil hat theory is that this instance is less a cashgrab and more an attack from AI slopbros to drown out criticism their billionaire overlords.

Really keen to sit down and read this book though.

I like how we’re all skimming over the fact that they fed federal compliance data into Azure OpenAI seemingly without permission or oversight.

How after “5 hours” of decision making was it ever an option at try and appease any demands of the Russian government. It never works and never ends.

Heck if you wanted to even try this, make it a geolocation based visibility filter and let the VPNs do their thing.

I switched to KeePassDX for this reason among others.

Same on my M4 work mac. Tahoe has annoying graphical glitches in several liquid glass modals and the damn calendar app wont scroll through my weekly meeting schedule properly anymore. The UI overall feels half baked and far less customisable than the marketing otherwise suggests.

Also, if anyone knows how to shutoff that god awful ‘bounce’ animation on every damn tooltip that fucks with my eyes while I’m trying to write code, it would be greatly appreciated.

See that’s the fun part. Google is the ad company so it’s all 1st party data. Google can package the Trojan horse however they please, which why it’s such a fine line for the blockers to walk.

It wouldn’t matter whether it was intentional or not. Put simply, Google can continue indirectly punishing creators for tolerating adblockers then redirect blame, even though they could have easily separated the metrics from the advertising and telemetry endpoints that blockers filtered. This way they get their money either from unblocked ads or from creator’s reduced view counts, win-win for Google.

As an added bonus for Google, by ensuring view metrics get fucked up, it double punishes creators featuring sponsored content that rely on those metrics to determine how much the sponsor should pay them. Meanwhile Google could, in theory, sell ad placements attached to their own internal metrics that differ from the affected ones publicly visible.

More of an assisted drop than a mach 5 launch (though that kinda liftoff would be fun to see), but yeah it would have to take the armour with it, not that it makes much difference if the battery is ready to toast everything in the vicinity.

If airbags going off at highway speed isn’t an issue, we can probably do just as well checking several conditions (controlled stop) before pulling the trigger. Then again, this is assuming the brains are smarter than the ones yeeting a burning battery into a sidewalk.

Interesting idea, horrible execution.

If they really wanted to go down this route, a better idea might be to push the battery out straight down and have a fireblanket deploy itself like an airbag to act as a flame shield and buy time.

Fire fighters are then free to move the vehicle from the fire to better assess and respond based on the circumstances.

Companies use browser fingerprinting and tracking pixels more often these days than cookies. So even if YouTube resets your recommendations, they still know who you are and what devices you use. Worse still, thanks to google ads and facebook embedded content everywhere, they know wherever you go too.

When kids with freshly unboxed Christmas e-scooters can fly past my ‘legal’ speed e-bike on my way to work, I’m gonna cry BS on my inability to modify my bike to match my pedal cycling speed. If that makes me a ‘menace’ then so be it.

Is it because they found water for their datacenters?

So we scaled up gun suppressor baffles. An old concept made new again.

The latter works better, then you can go full Lily Tino when called out and ‘attacked’ for the obvious BS.

I was going to say, I’ve been using Android color correction in dev tools on the camera view finder and video playback to do this for many years now, even for physical references.

This could have been more useful if it gave me a live HSV heuristic of problematic areas and recorded the analysis for later review and corrections.

Running that much power next to a data line sounds like a terrible idea for signal integrity, especially if something shorts to said data lines. It just sounds sketchy or filled with so many asterisks that it’s functional impossible to reach their claimed throughput.

If you want to go full dystopian…

Party assigned at birth (PAAB) based on family, ethnicity, economic background, and other social factors present when the child is born. PAAB designation must be present on ID, birth certificate, and citizenship at all times. Any attempt to hide or misrepresent PAAB will be considered felony fraud pending investigations into any extremist relations contributing to the offense. PAAB may only be changed by government application via relocation and re-education facilities. Following the abolition of the US voting system, government representatives will be automatically chosen based on majority PAAB demographic.

Would be real nice if they added things like specular, normal maps, and a proper depth buffer for shaders. That way SonicEther shaders could run natively in vanilla for everyone (possibly even bedrock?).

It really isn’t. At best it can generate short snippet solutions but it absolutely botches projects that require contextual knowledge of the program stack.

My job actively avoids because of the havoc it tends to cause not to mention legal issues.
