As expected. Would like to point out that they were the only ones from the listed carriers that notified all customers, prior to being asked by the Senator’s office.

To be honest, from experience with the general public selling and supporting phones since the beginning of the smartphone revolution, anything other than the built in option is more complicated than most people can handle. They just get overwhelmed and then do nothing.

Most people are completely willing to ignore that message and will then complain that they lost everything just because they didn’t pay the $1-2 a month upgrade that would have covered their storage needs with that built-in dummy-proof option that requires zero setup.

Agreed, but most people don’t backup at all. Then complain very loudly when they lose everything and blame everyone else other than themselves. Saw it daily fixing people’s phones.

The technically inclined were the worst offenders, they always felt like they knew better than the defaults but they never actually set anything up.

OneDrive sucks but it is better than losing everything because your shit suddenly dies.

A reminder that if your data is not backed up in a different physical location, then it is not safe.

Same here. Been looking at options like Kagi.

I decided years ago that since everyone wanted my info, I might as well just pick one instead of spreading it around everywhere. So I’m heavily invested in the Google ecosystem across the board.

I mean, modern web browsers are trying to be absolutely everything else as well. Fully supporting a format isn’t exactly an outrageous expectation.

They are trying to push through KOSA again? They didn’t even change the name.

Every time I see shit like this I always wonder why they didn’t just hire a polling company to check sentiment. There’s no fucking way removing HBO from the name would have been the better choice.

I mean, fuck it, have consultant fees contingent on the results of a public polling campaign run by an organization specializing in that showing their recommendation being the better choice.

I’m so tired of seeing shit ideas that you just know a someone was paid hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars to consult on and any random person on the street can see it being a bad idea.

I use it to track my watchlist on Emby as well, never even knew there was a paid part of it. No idea what that would even cover.

Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.

It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.

So a few possibilities.

1. The board started looking and are lying about looking once it leaked.
2. A member of the board started and that leaked, possibly on purpose.
3. Someone leaked that they started looking just to gauge what the response would be from shareholders and the general public.

No it’s not. There’s an absolute metric fuckton of evidence of Russian Disinformation and foreign Propaganda programs have targeted nearly all Western countries. Some more effectively than others.

Even if you choose to completely ignore the direct evidence of not only Russian leverage against high level politicians, but even full intelligence asset control, the fact that Russia has teams manipulating online conversations with fake information is a known fact with no basis for denial.

Unless you have no capability of critical thinking like the antivaxxers that is. But if that’s the case you have bigger problems like probably being one of the many idiots that fell for the obvious bullshit.

Basically, except the newspapers of today no longer care about reputation. They only care about clicks, the bottom line, and speed. Accuracy is no longer a primary focus.

The sharks were just trying to do us a favor by getting rid of the New Jersey population.

The same way Spam emails work. Spit shit everywhere and get that 0.000000001% return click, but it costs you almost nothing to put it out.

The account gets history with actual posts, and if it survives without being banned for spam, will eventually be cleared of posts and sold as an established account.

We try to forget those movies exist at all.

This specific thread is talking about transacting business and banking online. You should be more careful to keep your arguments separated. Otherwise you not only look like an idiot but you also prove you can’t multitask for shit.

Are you stupid enough to actually think the Internet is a closed system?

Instead you just have to trust that anything you’re doing is actually with who they claim to be. No encryption means no identity or security guarantee.

And notably, Japan does not have broad fair use copyright exceptions like the US. There are a very specific set of circumstances where it applies, and Generative AI for sure is not one of those.
