The first computer in the home was the Commodore 64. Had a tape drive and it hooked up to a small color tv. Used to spend hours typing in programs from I think Byte magazines, but maybe it was called something else.
Still have 2 C64's and a C128. =)
I don't get why this is creepy. They already have your data (you're posting it on their site after all!) Its no secret that analyzing data is something that these "information" companies can and pretty much always do.
I could see being creeped out in 2010 when this kind of shit was new but by this point it should be considered the default position. You should almost be more creeped out if they're NOT doing this kind of shit since it kind of suggests they're probably doing something even more nefarious (not that they couldn't do both of course..)
Now pissed off that they're going to start injecting ads into your conversations? That's something I can get behind. Or at least I could if I actually used FB.
It's creepy because people have an expectation of privacy. Like when you call someone on the phone, you expect it to be between you and that person. You know the computer takes care of everything, so no reason why anyone should be listening or recording it. These same people think they should be getting the same sort of privacy with messenger apps.
Of course, any one paying attention to the last decade knows that all our shit is being recorded, for some reason or the other. No matter what you wanted, we are in a surveillance society, the question is, do we make laws to protect us from ourselves, or do we just carry on how we are doing it?
It's pretty obvious to me that the worker revolution is going to be happening in the next 20 years if not sooner. The rich keep trying to squeeze whatever they can out of people and the environment and the younger generation is pissed.
My guess is this is done on purpose. It would of been a nice backdoor for some spy agency. I mean, who would think of using Digital Air TV to gain access to a tv? Well, besides the person who found it and shared it with the rest of us.
They bitch about the same old Zelda formula in the new game, but then praise Pokemon Sun & Moon for being the same old pokemon formula.
We are talking about this same company that is burning through money aren't we?
Not only bleeding money, has a big lawsuit to defend from google.
I think it's safe to say Uber is done.
The editors would just take the questions from the summary.
I get $11k a year because I'm disabled.
So when I hear someone that make $160k a year complaining it sort of pisses me off.
You can have it a lot worse, so serious, fuck off.
Since ThePirateBay is using cloudfare, I felt it wise to change my password on it so my download record didn't get hacked. Don't need anyone to know about my fetish for midget unicorn porn.
He needs to go away from topics like this because he's an engineer trying to talk about AI as if he has some clue. People seem to forget that Elon's success is largely due to the people who he surrounds himself with and not him specifically. The man is not an expert in all things.
Pretty sure I heard Trump explain that about himself. "I surround myself with the smartest people"
Nothing against them, just prefer to read what people have to say. And I don't listen to radio because by 48 I own all the good music I need and not exactly sure current events are worth keeping up with constantly.
I find it funny how all the work arounds listed no one suggested the best work around. Use linux, don't use windows.
I don't stream my music. While maybe in the future that might be okay, with no data caps, everyone having very very fast internet. But when my Internet it down, as it happens, i still have music to listen to.
My internet goes down, I still have TV shows and movies to watch.
Plus my music is flac quality.
With having a cellphone, I haven't bothered to buy a watch in about 2 decades.
But I did buy a Texas Instruments eZ430-Chronos Development Tool.
It's a watch based development system for MSP430 chips.
Sort of the father of some of the wearable devices, in it's own way.
But this is the ultimate Nerd Ware. You program it to be useful. No one else did. (kidding, there are some programs peeps wrote)
NSA has failed us again. Instead protecting America, they are wasting their and our time by mass collecting data on citizens. Instead of making sure exploits are fixed to keep our systems secure, they hold onto them so they can use them against us and other countries.
If am I to believe this Russian hacking our systems like the Government is pushing, then the blame goes straight on the NSA and those who backed them.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
