The real solution is to not have any problematic data on your devices.

Some famous Frenchman once said: Give me ten lines, written by the most innocent man, and I'll find something in them to hang him for.

Once the government becomes oppressive, there is no such thing as non-problematic data.

I am not a lawyer, but I do know that corporations routinely destroy evidence. For it to be a crime, they need to have been served with a warrant BEFORE they destroy the evidence.

Corporations never, ever (pinky-swear) destroy evidence. What they do is destroy data before it BECOMES evidence. That's the whole trick. It's what they try to argue here: As soon as they asked, destroying the data they had asked to see became illegal. I sincerely hope this gets thrown out.

Sounds more like an EDID problem. I don't know how to debug that on Windows, but you can check that on Linux, search for the EDID blob on the 'Net, and install it on Windows.

Eg. for one of my monitors I have this bit in .xsessionrc:
xrandr --newmode "1600x1200"x60.0 162.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-A-1-5 1600x1200x60.0
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1-5 --mode 1600x1200x60.0
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1-5 --rotate left
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1-5 --left-of DP-1

I just realized this would be better put into /etc/x11/xorg.conf like we used to in the previous millennium -- that'd let saved layout apply automatically -- but hey, it works.

On the other hand, Windows requires raw EDID rather than parsed modelines.

Seriously, "now" ?

These types of vans exist for a decade at least. Maybe not this specific model from that specific manufacturer, but I don't think that's the point here.

Yes, your government is spying on you. While hiding from you some of its most serious and worrying internals. Don't we just love how we are the people and in charge? lol.

It's a strange fight. The robots sometimes seem unaware of where their opponent is, facing the wrong direction or throwing kicks and punches in the air.

Not strange if you've ever played a fighting game against someone not into computer games. They learn quickly that by just mashing buttons randomly they can often get a win without actually learning anything about the game. Same principle.

I have to wonder if the geniuses who started these services ever consulted cab companies and drivers before the fact to have a better understanding of what they were taking on.

Of course they didn't. The name of the game is "disrupting an industry". Because on paper and in investor pitches, everything is straightforward, simple, and was practically waiting for them.

That reality is more messy, has more edge cases, doesn't always follow your process, is something you don't tell the investors and don't consider in your service until you've had the chance to cash out.

And related to Authors and others, yea they got robbed, but when it comes to LLM generated material not sure how it gets stopped now.

That's not an argument.

"Yeah, that guy is dead now. We have a pretty solid idea who did it. But not sure if that'll make him alive again, so let's not bother with catching them."
