HEIC is worthless because it's illegal to implement unless you get permission. Maybe in 20 years it'll be usable.
Don't like that fact? Then we need to find and support (oh no, and be?) political candidates who oppose software patents.
You shouldn't need anyone's permission to write a computer program. It's infuriating.

I wonder how the watermarking could be revealed without access to the original model it was generated on. I guess this is a requirement: only OpenAI can assess this, right?
Tesco's - one of the UK's largest supermarkets - came out a few months ago and said "We've migrated off VMWare because of the licensing". They did it in months. On the major backends running every store in the country.
They had a massive dispute with VMWare and are suing them (they say they bought a perpetual licence, VMWare then cut them off), but while they did that... they just migrated their ENTIRE infrastructure.
Sure, it's a big thing to do. But it's not impossible, doesn't take years and - like Tesco - you don't need to wait to do it. If it's THAT business-critical? All the more reason to have an alternative ready to move to at a moment's notice.
Companies CHOOSE to get tied in, they CHOOSE to only ever run one system, they CHOOSE to make the migration painful, they CHOOSE to hold back on it in the hopes they can negotiate to carry on just as they are. And those are all DUMB from a business-continuity point of view and no substantial organisation should be allowing that to happen.
Pretending that huge organisations paying Broadcom millions are somehow powerless in this is actual complicity in the worthless side of IT where everything is just absent of any redundancy, resiliency, independence, failover, etc. etc. etc.
With permanent DST we won't get the stories twice a year.
What bizarre world is it that I actually want Comcast (of all companies) to WIN in a lawsuit.
They'll need the money to settle all the resulting lawsuits.
Your honor, my script was a "rogue," so therefore it is responsible and I am not.
If the cops receive an anonymous tip that CowboyNeal is an insensitive clod, and then decide to arrest him without checking out any of the evidence, I blame the cops. There's plenty to bitch about with Flock but "the cops don't care about doing their job" isn't one of them. That's a cop problem.
Don't treat any stupid robots as somehow "better" than an anonymous tip called in from a payphone. It's just, like, something's opinion, man.
Translation: We are looking at our options on how to extract as much money as possible from the users of this software.
Or: We eliminated the positions necessary to merge the changes coming from the outside, and we will support the customers in house, if there are any paying customers at all. After that, we will close the project for good.
We now live in a fully connected world where most users are connected through web browsers and are the intended victims.
This particular story is an exception to that. Remote software, accessed through a web browser, normally does not have read/write access to your local filesystem. But people are granting local filesystem access to proprietary AI services.
I think that granting such access is
But GP's comment is about whose decision that is. If you use Linux, then it's your decision. If you use iOS, then it's Apple's decision. And MacOS is becoming less Linuxy and more iOSy every year. I think it makes plenty of sense for stories like this to result in people dumping MacOS for Linux. (But daaamn, their values surprise me. You wanna make your computer less secure instead of more? Oh well, like Rumsfeld said, freedom is untidy!)
Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear.
