Yeah, I saw that statistic and wondered what the problem was. That still sounds like a really good business to be in.

Well, I don't like them, they wet their sentences...

To err is human

Bah! If you aren't telneting to port 80 and issuing your own, hand-crafted, headers and HTML tags, you are nothing more than a script kiddie who is coddled by GUI conveniences!

Sorry, I forgot to add the "in the US" qualifier...

Under Leena Kahn, yeah, I believe that Google feared this outcome.

I don't think that this is a fear for anyone any longer.

Tell this to the people who put those shields on their license plates to foil flock cameras.

It's like browser fingerprinting. Your car is emitting all kinds of signals, taken together, it can form a fingerprint. That fingerprint allows tracking. The only remaining thing is to tie the fingerprint to a person, which is easy enough in the case of a car due to a perfectly visible (by law) license plate.

But, really, the best method of tracking you is already in your pocket.

I think that there is another method than a wireless sensor.

For example, I believe that my wife's 2015 Jetta (low end model) uses torque somehow. In her car, once the low tire pressure alerts is tripped, you have to manually re-set the sensor even after filling the tire back up to the recommended level.

Someone should tell TikTok that their app has access to all content generated by or input into their app prior to encrypting and sending it...

It is interesting though that Copilot is not the best coding assistant out there. You'd think that with all of that code to train on, it would be better than it is.

I live in a metro area and my mobile data connection is still faux 5G (5Ge)

So, yeah 5G is far from ubiquitous.

Will it run Crysis?

I think that, at this point, it is more mention-worthy if stuff is *not* uploaded to someone else's computer.

Yeah, but are any of those a pipeline directly into OpenAI's LLMs?

Yeah, this just makes me think of the AOL/TimeWarner debacle.

I was not excited about absorbing the cost of a gigantic acquisition on my Netflix subscription.
