frankharv··on Google will turn off search for schools that reject AI
Billy Gates swore on a bible that Internet Explorer could not be removed and lied his ass off.

Profited very handsomely from his lies.

frankharv··on Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack
I have no problem with monitoring temps over internet.

Who ever thought it was OK to control freezers over the internet should be hung.

frankharv··on Root shell on Samsung TV
Right......

Like none of these TV's hooks to an Open Wifi Hotspot and abuse you.

frankharv··on CFTC declares market emergency, orders Kalshi to continue to operate in New York
OK if we put that Genie back in the Bottle can we also go back to a time when Attorneys could not advertise on TV.

How much did that ruling cost?

Ambulance chasers have always been a thing but now it is nationwide syndicate of "Doctor Lawyers".

Total Shitshow for TV viewers...

Talking about "Varginal Mesh" lawsuit in front of children..

Disgusting.

frankharv··on We found a bug in the hyper HTTP library
Obviously written by a C freak using a BSD
frankharv··on EU to legislate about Chat Control behind closed doors
I didn't see it that way. when Facebook started it was like an intimate club.

Classmates.com was charging money for reunion information and Facebook was free.

It was the IPO that really tipped the scales.

In that one day Zuck became a Billionaire with everybody else's information.

We were bamboozled. Subscription versus free but not really.

frankharv··on ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants' Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker
It should not be sold. But it is.

https://epic.org/issues/consumer-privacy/data-brokers/

Consumers are the product.

frankharv··on ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants' Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker
Opt out from snake oil salesmen.

Yea sure. If it helps you sleep better. It is the law.

In reality the data is already 'grey market' so I doubt the law matters to them.

Disappear and new data broker sets up shop. You think these people are regulated? I bet they swap datasets like Pokemon.

frankharv··on ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants' Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker
Surveillance Capitalism is an apt description.

No one voted for it but here we are. Flock on every strategic corner.

frankharv··on ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants' Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker
Surely you are joking.

Once collected why would a data broker want to purge your record?

There is no escape.

frankharv··on Texas woman arrested for Facebook post about town water quality
Thankfully most cities were not stupid enough to buy lead lined pipes.....
frankharv··on America's Expanding Domestic Surveillance
I agree.

Even if you walk by a FLOCK camera you are catalogued.

Sickening bravado of these privacy stealing folk.

frankharv··on HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing
Use your brain to solve problems not a computer.
frankharv··on Flock Condemns False Child Predator Allegations, Yet Calls Critics Terrorists
Whats worse is the town has snubbed its residents:

https://www.axios.com/local/atlanta/2026/04/17/dunwoody-floc...

How did a Jewish Community Center end up allowing FLOCK to access its security cameras?

Pool and Gymnastics seem like sensitive places unless PEDO.

frankharv··on Initial mainline video capture and camera support for Rockchip RK3588
I agree with much of what you say. Adding a second display port was not something anybody needed.

Desktop computer was a reach. Even for BeagleBone.

I am surprised RK3566 and RK3568 still don't have good UEFI-EDK2 support.

RK3588 has great UEFI-EDK2 support. I wish somebody would backport RK356x and RK3399 boards....

The pace of development is too fast. We don't need more aarch64 CPU but better support. RISC-V adds to the mayhem.

Like we need that...

The Open Source Hardware Dream.

frankharv··on Electrical transformer manufacturing is throttling the electrified future
I worked in a machine shop of a large shipyard and 20 years ago they had CNC Winders for rebuilding armatures for Navy ships.

They replaced older versions that were NC winders.

So this "hand wound" story is just that.

Windings going into Oil Tank? I think you mean varnish tank... After the rotating assembly is balanced they go into a protective coating tank that is a varnish.

frankharv··on Police used AI facial recognition to wrongly arrest TN woman for crimes in ND
Thanks for clarifying.

I wonder who is slandering her more... WOW

Maybe the citys insurance carrier hired a FIRM...

They will be taking a hit.

frankharv··on Police used AI facial recognition to wrongly arrest TN woman for crimes in ND
That is the first I have heard of that. A small unexplained blurb in this article. Already in jail on parole violation..

Maybe she objected to the extradition order without good counsel.

"I aint never been to N.Dakota". She found out the hard way how the law works..

What about the banks being hit. Surely they have good cameras. This was bad mojo. I would think a Wells Fargo/BoA has a unit for this stuff.

Finincial crimes handled like this. The banks will be sued too I suspect.. Deep pockets settle out.

Indeed let out on Christmas Eve with no money 1000 miles from your homeland.

Where your home was lost to foreclosure because one JUDGE did not look at the paperwork.

There should be a way to personally sue somebody when they don't do their job. Protecting the innocent. The JUDGE failed badly here.

Flimsy evidence would mean no warrant. Do your basic investigation please... Rubberstamping JUDGE caused this.

Why are they not named? Like they are a spectator. Infact they are the cause.

frankharv··on Police used AI facial recognition to wrongly arrest TN woman for crimes in ND
Yes but a judge issued the warrant in the first place.

Cops did not do a proper investigation and the judge green-lighted it.

It is all on the JUDGE or possibly a magistrate who approved a faulty warrant.

The judge failed the poor woman. FIRE him.

Then sue Clearview for big bucks.

frankharv··on Full Disclosure: A Third (and Fourth) Azure Sign-In Log Bypass Found
Regardless China was monitoring everything very easily.

frankharv··on Oil and gas prices jump after Iran and Israel attack gasfields
I applaud Carter for trying to rescue our hostages in 1979.

So sad to see our military failed so badly. The plan seemed conceivable...

Yet outrageous. The distance to Tehran so far.

Sometimes you got to do something. Even if against all odds.

frankharv··on Oil and gas prices jump after Iran and Israel attack gasfields
Surely there are some shipping expenses though? For Global Oil.

Versus the Colonial Pipeline that is prevalent on the Eastern Half of US.

frankharv··on Oil and gas prices jump after Iran and Israel attack gasfields
I agree. Why is domestic oil linked to global oil price?

We are energy independent? Big Oil is milking US.

frankharv··on Uber reported to the state that I was fired for "annoying a coworker."
I have just experienced this.They raised HR exec up to VP level so they could investigate another VP to ultimately fire them.

Then once the BAD VP was fired the owner fired the HR VP and the the replacement was not a VP.

DirtyDeeds.DoneDirtCheap.

frankharv··on Uber reported to the state that I was fired for "annoying a coworker."
Not really. Most all companies have Binding Arbitration built into employment contracts.

What lawyer wants to have their pay limited thusly?

You can hire your own lawyer for the proceedings but no jackpot payouts in arbitration.

frankharv··on Waymo robotaxi hits a child near an elementary school in Santa Monica
Would have. Could Have. Should have.

Most humans would be halfway into other lane after seeing kids near the street.

Apologist see something different than me.

Perception.

frankharv··on When UPS charged me a $684 tariff on $355 of vintage computer parts
Unchecked capitalism?

frankharv··on That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus
Rack mounts of cellular gear in an apartment. Dummy rentals. I don't understand the optimism.

How did this not throw flags with the carriers.

frankharv··on Microsoft has urged its employees on H-1B and H-4 visas to return immediately
That argument went out the door when the last administration chose to open the borders.

We have laws against that. But they were ignored.
