He does have a point though, not everything needs AI.
scopeh··on Microsoft's global sprawl under fire from regulators after Windows outage
I think it was essentially a data/config file that was corrupt not a new driver kernel. nothing really to be signed and approved by mircosoft.
scopeh··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
How many people still believe the "cloud" was worth it? Maybe we should go back to the days of buying software and running it ourselves with our own infrastructure.

I know, I'm dreaming.

scopeh··on Blocky – a DNS proxy and ad-blocker for the local network
personally i use both. PiHole and uBlock. But PiHole is network wide so smart TVs iPads, etc in the house also get the benefit.
scopeh··on How I keep myself alive using Golang
Coding is 100% a superpower. Great post and love how you approached this. Hopefully it gives others similar ideas to help them.
scopeh··on Only 90s Web Developers Remember This (2014)
90s-early 00s. The glory days.
scopeh··on Bluesky has launched RSS feeds
I don't think there is any algorithm magic in mastodon. your feed is who you follow and who they boost. maybe its time for you to have a clean up.
scopeh··on Statement regarding the ongoing Sourcehut outage
Feel bad for the team to have to deal with this, but I have to say its a great example of how to communicate with your customers so hats off to you!
scopeh··on Google Cuts Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions
Has this ever stopped google from killing a product?
scopeh··on ChatGPT for Teams
surely this guy is a bot.
scopeh··on AI generated security reports about curl
LLMs being LLMs.

Reading this makes me a feel a little more secure in my job.

They have a long way to go.

scopeh··on Dark Visitors – A list of known AI agents on the internet
it would be great to have a raw json file or something of this list so we can just start blocking the requests instead of using robots.txt. do they really respect it? probably not.
scopeh··on I think I need to go lie down
Lets make ourselves redundant.

At least I won't have to relearn JS every 2 weeks.

scopeh··on UK Parliament undermined the privacy, security, freedom of all internet users
China: Look at our internet, users only do what we want.

UK: Hold my beer, I'm going to do this for the whole internet.

All the companies that said they would stop operating in the UK if this bill was passed, need to now do so. There are provision in place that say companies won't be forced to do so unless technologically possible. But I think we all know how that plays out.

scopeh··on Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account
ffs, who is thinking of this shit. personally i don't own any and now i certainly won't. Smart homes are a great example of a good idea with a shitty implementation.
scopeh··on My uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
I've been looking for something like this solution for a while. Never thought of using ublock filters. Cheers
scopeh··on We forced our company to allow work from home again
If you went back to the office, then would you rather an open planned office or your own cubicle? If its the latter, your own cubicle, then why the hell are you going back to the office?

Open planned offices are a pain the arse for distractions.

I for one couldn't imagine going back, far more productive WFH.

scopeh··on Google Chrome pushes browser history-based ad targeting
Its 2023, how have we come so far with this nonsense. I would have thought Firefox would be king of the browsers by now. But nope, people love their data being sucked up and used by the big G.
