What makes this funny to me is that there’s no incentive to not violate the order. The labels are suing for such an urealistic sum that it makes little difference catering to their blatantly insane demands.
Not only that but by releasing the music after such a public lawsuit, not only will data hoarders make it damn near impossible to contain redistribution, but it indirectly pits the AI oligarchs who will inevitability slurp it up against the labels for mutual destruction.
I have my reolink cameras setup on an internal network without direct internet access, but have a server running Frigate and a VPN that I can remote into from my phone. Gives me full control of where the recordings are backed up and remote access controls. This setup works for their doorbells too which is neat.
To be fair you could just have both and allow the player to hotswap between them. This was a thing in some retro games already as tank controls were phased out. Really depends on how much work you want to put into supporting that kind of context switching of controls.
I see we’ve just completely abandoned semantic versioning. Not a good look for the future of major or even just cohesively themed updates.
The immediate issues I see are:
The bulpup arrangement gives it a moment arm that would bend your wrist rather than push into the palm of your hand on recoil.
Even if your wrist is fine, the hot gasses escaping the cylinder would be directed straight into your forefinger and thumb with every shot.
Finally, a break action or flip-out reload would now use space occupied by your hand around the grip. Not to mention a break would require the trigger and hammer mechanisms to be on opposite halves adding complexity and potential reliability issues.
I got the same treatment recently. All tech departments were issued M4 Mac Book Pros because that was more cost effective than than dealing with the non-compliant fuckery of W11. Unfortunately non-tech departments got the old inventory and are suffering the abhorrent instability of W11. It somehow refuses to play nice with just about everything in our corporate ecosystem.
The first mistake was thinking OpenAI gives a damn about privacy given they’re more than happy to sell that out to Police. Whether it’s a judge or a hacker, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets a hold of that nuclear bomb worth of data.
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.
From a techical perspective I’m still annoyed that the amorphous blobs were not the agreed default. They are the simplest to store in SVG, have no gradients to render, and being non-human makes them not require skin/gender modifiers. All expression, nothing more.
