Why was this even being challenged. What kind of dumb motherfuckers are putting personal shit on work equipment

Say "We recognize that our mass surveillance device can be exploited by other countries" louder

CosmoNova, in Elon Musk’s new AI bot, Grok, causes stir by citing OpenAI usage policy

Well it’s not like Micros- uhm I mean "Open"AI can complain. They’re not going to open a can of worms about the whereabouts of datasets for LLMs.

This guy criticized AI for "being dangerous," and makes one anyway.

BaldProphet, in Polish Hackers Repaired Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them

I didn't realize John Deere made trains.

ruination, in Polish Hackers Repaired Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them

This sounds egregious. I don’t really have any knowledge on the subject, but to play the devil’s advocate, could it be possible that the train was bricked because while it can technically still run, it might have some things broken that could lead to hazardous consequences? Again, I have no knowledge on this, I would love if someone who knows more about trains could shed light on this.

Nah, they are probably just mad that the rail company didn't come to them for maintainance and went to someone else (who probably was just as good but cheaper). They are just looking for money.

EmptyRadar, in Google Will Turn Off Cookies for 30 Million People on January 4

Trusting Google to oversee your privacy is like asking a grizzly bear to make sure no one eats this big pile of fresh salmon

Gordon_Freeman, in Google's and Apple's walled gardens will survive Epic’s court win
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

I don't like playing the devil's advocate but the only one with a walled garden is Apple

You can easily install plenty of alternative stores on android if you want (including the epic game store)

neidu, in Zuckerberg says Threads will dip its toe in the 'fediverse' as it opens to Europe

God damn it, please don’t.

Which brands have this technology? I need to know which devices to douse with lighter fluid.

That is not clear yet. But wouldn't be surprised if a large number of them fits the bill.

It's in a lot of item's TOS. I've started finding the TOS online before I buy things. I also try not to have any "smart" items, but that's getting harder to do with IOT.
