jms703··on Now Google says it might use your Gmail and Google Photos data to target ads
They weren't already?!
jms703··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
You should read the report from mozilla.
jms703··on Big Fish: Exploiting a 37-Year-Old Kernel Bug in OpenBSD
Heavily audited might be a stretch. Who did the audit and what knew to look for is key. I wonder if they are using agentic tools to help improve the frequency and quality of their audits. Volunteer time is precious and getting robots to help might be useful, but I can also see it taking more of that same volunteer time to get good results from the robots. Either way, its their project and and they'll do as they deem fit, which is totally fine.
jms703··on Passkeys are not a trap
You can't enter a passkey at the wrong website.

acqui-hire

Was wondering the same. So I guess a box is a linux host? So this is ssh + tmux or zmx or screen?
jms703··on Device detection and occupancy monitoring for Airbnb hosts
No way. Hotels are already too expensive as are restaurants. I like to stay in a place and I don't want the cost increased just because the local gov't won't build housing. That is a different problem and I guarantee that tax won't fix anything.
jms703··on Device detection and occupancy monitoring for Airbnb hosts
This is purely party prevention. I've had ZERO pushback asking to host a group of friends over for dinner. I ask the owner. Mild inconvenience IMO when you think about the problem they are trying to prevent, the home being thrashed by a large party and the guests having no care about your home.
jms703··on SBX env: consistent and shareable AI sandbox configurations
I want to use sbx more, but I got turned off by having to authenticate so much. Just fired up a session yesterday and I had to re-auth. Nope. Nuked it and setup nono. Sorry docker, this was a huge miss.
jms703··on The technology to eradicate mosquito-borne disease exists
How does this affect fish that eat mosquitos like trout? Do they have enough food without mosquitos? Just wondering.
jms703··on Amazon seeks to offload $8B of Nvidia chips to investors
Meanwhile I can't afford a new gpu or ram...or cpu now.
jms703··on Leaving VMware just got harder after Broadcom pulled VDDK downloads
Yeah, this is the new norm. Best not to waste too many tears on it. I guess this surprises some people.
jms703··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
Or they just cashed in some stock options.
jms703··on Show HN: Open-Source eInk Bike Computer
Well said. I don't understand who this would be for.
jms703··on Uber is laying off 10% of staff
So TPMs are getting the axe? Product managers too?
jms703··on A Beginner's Deep Dive Guide to Entra Passkeys
whatever it takes to kill sms mfa.
jms703··on Apple caught off guard by AI demand for Mac Mini and Mac Studio
I'm excited to hear the ram crisis will be over. But will it?
jms703··on Building a backyard office, the build and cost breakdown
No, that is the cost of labor and materials.
jms703··on GPT 5.6 Sol 20% price reduction
Fix headline. Reduction is for 3 months only.
jms703··on OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining
There are shareholders to please and money to be made. Of course ethics are out the door.
jms703··on OpenAI's super PAC is funding AI-generated news site attacking industry critics
This is normal tech company marketing strategy, right?
jms703··on Read this before you buy that TV streaming stick
You buy garbage, you get garbage. You can no longer depend on resellers or to protect you. They are unphased and unaffected by selling you this garbage. No one else has a financial incentive to protect you. Sorry if this sounds victim blamey. Don't mean it to be. Just trying to convey that we're on our own.
jms703··on FDA approves new kind of cholesterol pill
Lose weight, yes. Exercise, yes. Accept a potentially fatal genetic defect when an option is available? No.

Advise not callously generalizing your opinion on things like this. It's clear that you either spoke without knowing more, which happens, or you really don't seem to care to know more. I hope you're not in the latter.

jms703··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
Yeah, I was looking for this comment. Dell/Alienware have been doing this for YEARS. Part of the many reasons I moved from Window to Linux.
jms703··on Guerrilla London bus ads mock Kylie Jenner’s Meta glasses campaign
"Ray-Ban Wayfarer used to be a such classic design. By associating them with cameras and Meta, Essilor Luxottica has messed up an iconic name and brand."

Fixed it for you.

jms703··on Re: I'm Begging You to Leave Your AI Note-Taker at Home
I love having a 3rd person in an interview. If they are taking notes, I can have a conversation with the candidate.
jms703··on Car touchscreens are cheap, not good
I hate the way climate controls take over the whole screen, causing me to lose my map screen.
jms703··on The truth about being a manager
If it scares you off, thats a good thing. A manager who doesn't want to do these things might not be an effective manager. I think its better to go in eyes open to what it really means. I think the author did a good job of that.

I was hoping for more upsides, but, I'm not surprised by the short list either.

jms703··on The truth about being a manager
The list of tasks piled on to a human manager are too much for a manager to do well. The role of management feels like a dumping ground for menial tasks, but oh yeah, you need to pass a coding review too, in some roles. LOL
jms703··on The truth about being a manager
The author claims the POST is WRITTEN by them. They did not claim the ILLUSTRATIONS were DRAWN by them. Most of us are not artists. Sometimes its hard to find the right illustrations.

But what did you think of the article itself?
