LOL yup, and these things are just dumb as shit. Is there any real purpose to them other than to FPV record shit? Maybe the AI can detect shit in view, you could also just do that with the damn FB app and camera on the phone. Until these things have a screen and can do AR, they're basically useless and even with a screen and AR they're going to be useless as google glass already proved like a decade ago.

Sounds like you are describing FDIC / NCUA insurance in the US. I'm not sure exactly what the european equivalent covers, but in the US FDIC / NCUA only covers if your bank / credit union becomes insolvent. The US Govt will cover your deposits up to $250K, FDIC / NCUA doesn't protect against fraud. In general depending on the bank they will eat the loss in the case of fraud and either use their own insurance or write off the loss on their taxes. But there's also some asshole banks and you'll be left on the hook for any fraud. Best to research your bank and what their rules and coverages are.

If anything it should be the TV broadcasters paying the Sat/Cable operators to get more eye balls on their programming and ads.

I don't get why cable and sat operators charge this local rebroadcast fee. This should be a mutually free beneficial agreement between both the TV operators and Sat/Cable operators. Customers want the local channels on their service lineup, and the TV broadcasters want eyeballs on their programming for ratings and especially the ads for $$$. This should be a win win for everything involved without any money changing hands.

Starlink is very capable of providing enough bandwidth for streaming TV and there are unlimited data plans. The only way these Sat TV operators survive over the long term is to probably transition to IP based streaming platforms. I believe DirectTV already runs a streaming platform in parallel with it's DBS sat service. It's how they were able to do on-demand services a decade+ ago. The linear TV channels came over the dish and the on-demand streaming IP streaming over your existing home internet connection. At this point I can't see any of these sat operators launching new satellites up when it comes time to replace the existing fleet. They'll probably run with what they got up there till its EOL then transition fully to IP only streaming.

The promise of creating jobs, and kickbacks and other "benefits"

China doesn't need to catch up to the US. They can simply invade and take over Taiwan where all the chips get made these days.

Isn't this at least the 2nd breech they've recently had?

Because you like trading pictures with other real people and not watching fake ass model porn.

If Disney got a hold of Bond we would be on the 30th Bond movie by now. They would probably be cranking out AI Bond moves every 6 months. Just look at their track record with grinding other franchises into the ground like Starwars.

That Musk got it before Disney could get it's hands on Twitter and trash it. Twitter / X is just about the only major platform you can post and consume porn

Yup my butt is so big and muscular their tiny asian peepee can't reach my hole and ill just crush it with my muscular ass cheeks if they try

I honestly can't wait for the 1st major breech. There are so many companies feeding proprietary business critical data into these AIs. Even thinking they have a paid for "isolated" AI environment. Someone eventually is going to get breached and it's going to be a fucking field day.

I'd imagine this doesn't apply to most of Meta's white collar knowledge workers. Most are likely salary. You're getting paid to get a job done, not for the hours worked. If it takes you 80hrs a week to get a job done then you need to talk to your manager about your job load / scope, or renegotiate your pay if you don't care about spending every waking moment of your life working.

I would assume this would have been found long ago if it was a wide spread issue. I have to assume there's plenty of orgs out there with security configurations strict enough that they would totally block unsecured port 110 at the server. Thus admins would have found client failing to be able to connect and drilled further into the issue. This has to be some config issue with particular clients.
