To the Zuk, we're all just "dumb fucks".

We've had the iPhone driver's license for a few years in California. Guess the one thing you can't do with it? If you said present it if you are stopped by the police, you would be correct. I wonder if this is also the case in other states.

In what universe is sending your keystrokes to OpenAI even a remotely good idea?

Fuck OpenAI. Hard.

I'm sure most Slashdot readers are smart enough to know that all of the data collected by Flock Safety is likely offloaded continuously and permanently retained by one or more of the US 3-letter agencies. Local control is a mirage when everything the sensors collect is sent back to Flock. To think otherwise is just plain naive.

Hard to shed the tiniest of tears for Leisure Suit Larry. Doubtless he'll somehow get by on his remaining billions.

No, it's not a good thing because that's not how patents work. With the patent, Meta can license the patent to anyone they care to free or for a fee. The patent ensures that if someone else uses the idea they have to negotiate a license and potentially pay Meta.

Common practice is for corporations like Meta to enter into cross licensing agreements with other corporations where rights to tranches of patents are exchanged.

Just reading the summary made me throw up into my mouth. It's bad enough unballing a problem with Microsoft's non-AI products, I can't begin to imagine how awful it will be to try to unball something their "super app" has done across several apps and platforms.

The word "could" in the headline does so much heavy lifting.

Zoom has always had too many capabilities on a client machine to be trusted. When I'm forced to use it or other similar apps, I do so from inside a virtual machine. Taking a virtual machine snapshot before and restoring it after a Zoom session ensures my security.

Nvidia taking on $500B of crippling debt to keep the plates spinning. Judging from the drop in NVDA share price, the street doesn't like it.

Meta-analysis of "more than 350 studies" can lead to misleading results. Or, with a bit of tweaking, just about any results you wish to find.

Galaxian brood combs.

I'm surprised that Apple would climb into bed with the predatory pack of sleaze balls that is Klarna. I cannot see this accomplishing anything beyond reputational damage.

Just what the public is yammering for, consolidation of one streaming silo into another, all for a price that's guaranteed to increase year after year while the programming you came for disappears show by show. Ads on their way, too, unless you upgrade to the super premium deluxe package.
