Comment A bit surprising.. (Score 1) 122

These companies do realize the cost of petrol/gas is only going to continue to rise over time, right?

And govt's can also tax gases even more too, right?

It's surprising they're being this short-sighted on what this will cost them. And of course that means using the LLMs from those data centers will also cost more..

Not sure what their end game is here?

Comment New app TOS requirement (Score 1) 48

For these 'rewards' apps, when you sign up, there should be a box requesting a numeric value.

And there you enter how much compensation you get in your local currency if/when a data breach occurs.

If they don't like your amount, then the app doesn't load. Otherwise, when they mess up, you get your compensation. Make this required by law.

Problem solved. Maybe they'll take this shit more seriously then. And if they don't, at least I get a fair payout.

I think by "PC" they mean "browser".

Maybe in Japan they have bank software you download...but probably not.

I'm guessing being able to access accounts via browser is what opens a lot of attack vectors.

Tho if you've got 2FA with SMS, it really can't be all that less secure than a phone app.

I do worry that this could lead to more focus on stealing phones, and of course criminals are only going to try and figure out how they can get unsuspecting people to download hacking apps so they can access their phones instead of "PCs". We'll probably be back to square one before you know it.

Comment Windows 10 didn't seem to get an update either (Score 1) 105

I'm still running W10, in BC, and my computers all switched yesterday.

And there doesn't even appear to be an option to choose our 'new' timezone. So had to disable sync, and set time manually.

The dumb clocks on my oven and bathroom heater are smarter.

Why might it harm democracy? This is the question that needs to be asked.

If people are so disinterested, disengaged, or just plain ignorant and won't even do the smallest amount of fact-checking......then isn't democracy actually working, and voters getting what they deserve?

(So hard not just saying people are stupid. But it's that, fundamentally. No force is more harmful to democracy than stupid and ignorant voters acting on impulse.)
