> Boycotts can only work when there are viable alternatives. This just isn't true. People could stop buying new TVs altogether, we aren't talking about food or blood pressure medication. This is a luxury item. If I had…
This is what I do already but aside from the "neighbors open wifi" problem I'm more concerned about: -In-laws or other visitors "finishing setup" to use their netflix while I'm at work or something. -Future TVs…
This is already partially the case with POTS where I'm at. My wife was attached to this reliability aspect of the overpriced POTS service we had. But when they installed fiber to the node some years back they placed…
I think it is more about avoiding being boxed in by the rest of the world. The US would of course ban the use of Chinese hosted models and have already taken steps to ban the use of open Chinese models. There's nothing…
I've long suspected Amazon's search is so crappy because it makes their ads necessary to actually surface a product. I guess Google got the idea as well. The worst part is I've seen search other video sites that used to…
This is pretty horrible news that I hadn't really heard about, especially since American cars are so expensive now. Why was this not a problem in the past? I know covid and tariffs have changed the supply picture a lot…
On my LG TV, which is pretty old, the wifi module is just a standard m.2 e-key that I can remove. I wonder if that is still the case or if they are integrated now.
Parent doesn't actually need to propose anything, this will happen regardless because the incentive structure demands it and the same technology makes it cheaper than ever before to perform the poisoning.
And inevitable once LLMs were invented. A knowledge lemon market.
It could happen I suppose, but most likely it would be an American company adding unnecessary spyware/rentware to a commodity product that didn't really need software in the first place and then lobbying to make the…
Hard to say if publishers are going to want to pay the (now increased) hardware costs to stream hosted games when before the AI boom they kept failing to get the idea of the ground. Certainly I don't think we'll see it…

What are they doing when you give blood?
This is where the attestation feature comes in, there's a reason it was part of the initial spec and key transfer was a "we'll get to it later". They will use it as a weapon to blacklist providers that don't play by…
This is only true until the vise closes all the way, they likely implemented it that way because they will eventually HAVE to: "Once certification and attestation goes live, there will be a minimum functional and…
They'll have to do this or they'll be blackballed using attestation and certification weapons the FIDO alliance possesses: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10406 You don't get to decide how to use your…
This is the obvious endgame. Right now you have people who will say that passkeys are unphishable so we should switch to them. When you point out that people will lose their devices and credentials they'll then tell you…
> The thing that sucks a lot is that brokerages seem to also restrict the allowed software/hardware. Don't know the details, but none of my FIDO2 hardware keys were able to be used. I consistently use these hardware…
The trouble with this is the baseline is getting to high. You've got age verification coming, google rolling out phone verification for websites, etc. Once that is rolled out, accepted and "easy" it will be used for…
We're talking about a free to play (no cost to being banned) game without dedicated servers (no intimate community to police the servers). Cheaters always existed but the business model used exacerbated the problem.
We live in a world where McDonald's is using AI to dynamically price hamburgers. Every piece of information about your life is something you might want to hide just to avoid being screwed over harder financially than…
Same here. I've tried edibles multiple times as they're legal here. The experience ranged from mildly bad to horrible. I either felt like a zombie (not relaxed) or became paranoid and anxious. I had to come to the…
Well, they aren't really for stopping crime. They're for identifying political dissent so it can be crushed early. Stopping crime requires manpower that costs money, and if they were successfuy they'd have a harder time…
I don't generally find !g gives me better results than DDG and if I instead went to Google I'd get dinged with a Captcha on every search because Google seems to hate my small ISP. So easy choice for me.
Years ago I saw some one who had sawed off the back end of a late 1980s Chevy cavalier (or similar) and turned it into a portable generator trailer for his EV. This was so long ago it was probably an EV conversion of…
