I pirate everything anyways, why in the hell would I pay for YouTube?

uBO works for me, just requires a manual filter update once in a while. Though I like this approach in it's own way as it still costs advertisers but delivers no value to them, maybe something more like Ad Nauseum which would click the ads too.

I would certainly prefer the donation begging - chance of getting family and friends to use it with an upfront cost: 0.

You could probably just implement this in software on a side monitor even...

Yeah - this stupidity with regulating AI goes hand in hand with regulating cryptography - illegal math is simply not feasible.

Especially when it comes to housing.

If GNOME can tank the kernel, it ain't GNOME's fault.

I used to use similar per-file cloud solutions, but SyncThing has been better in every way, especially if you already have a server you want to sync to or can use as an encrypted endpoint.

Non-technical people shouldn't do home automation. Unfortunate, but it's true. The entire market is just ewaste.

If using an FLIR camera is considered an unreasonable search without a warrant, I fail to see how this wouldn't be too.

> Do you think USB-C will be around forever?

At this stage it's genuinely hard to envision something replacing it - they're pulling 40gbit over this connector, running full pcie, displayport, etc. Most devices including these new phones are still using USB 2 speeds because it's good enough.

You can just disable the anti-fingerprinting features in LibreWolf and it'll work fine with online banking and stuff if you just want de-cluttered Firefox.

I think the idea is they ramp up the difficulty of the proof of work when a user is suspect by their other tests, after ramping it up to bot levels it causes those requests to become more costly even if they're not blocked.

Can't say I've ever seen a restaurant advertise "unlimited salt".

I don't get out of bed for anything without a CVE so I can confirm I actually have a threat from the vulnerability, often times they're things where you'd need to use an obscure feature or local privilege escalations on single user systems, etc.

You don't need to audit the update, simply don't update until there's some actual benefit to it.

There was substantial risk of being prosecuted, or failing that, shot and killed.

Or perhaps even more likely - process fake data injected by a malicious 3rd party trying to spoof an app.

Barely event matters, if your great aunt sends her DNA to some online heritage service, the game is basically over. Unfortunately, like it or not, your DNA isn't yours.

Anyone try running a profiler on this yet? Seems like something that could be patched by a 3rd party tool even.

Exactly - espresso is good, but unless you're really into it, not worth the money and complexity to make at home, save it for a treat when you're out.

Honestly, most of these studies are getting caught simply by not having the expected distribution on their data. I suspect improving this analysis will more often just lead to better fakes.

Unfortunately I think this means we need to disregard these popsci papers, especially in the social sciences unless there's a clear, uninterested party providing the data as well.

I think it's primarily down to verbosity when working with it by hand and very heavy weight parsers being used for it frequently. There's just lighter weight, easier formats to work with and a lot of the standards that get piled on top of it lead to ever increasing complexity, xsd specifications, namespaces, etc.

Who the hell has time or mental capacity to do any of that when you're just trying to scrape by or make it to the end of the day though?

Hah, I like this idea, "It appears your browser passes web environment integrity, please come back when it fails"... I'd love to see a similar thing for SafetyNet on Android.

Don't forget to provide royalties for every synapse in your head.

If I recite the vague plot of a novel or a fact I learned from an encyclopedia I'm not reproducing anything, certainly not violating copyright law.

I don't see why AI developers should be expected to think otherwise and worsen their training data over this.

I don't see why it would be illegal, AI reading it should be no different from anyone else.

WSL

What percentage of those will actually be exploited in the hands of typical users? There's not exactly worm grade exploits flying around for these devices.

Most of the vulnerabilities require you to be loading sketchy apps, many of these are checked on Play Store by scanners, so unless you get very unlucky or sideload sketchy apps, probably not a concern. Web view and most other network exposed components are updated from play store, since stagefright they sandboxed all codecs, etc.

It's really not that bad for a typical user to just run an unpatched phone, certainly better than a Windows machine with local admin where downloading and running one executable is all it takes. At least on an unpatched Android device they get some level of sandboxing.
