Some of y'all appear to be missing that this is a PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) station, who might not even have the budget for a dedicated IT person. This was probably picked by someone in the video control room when they got told to clear out the space used for the video tape archives. My local PBS station unfortunately didn't have anything like that, so lost their archives when there was a fire at the station about 15 years ago.

If you're criticizing their spending priorities... did you contribute at the last pledge drive?

The expansion pack is currently available only for the platforms listed. If you own Quake from GOG.com, the Epic Store, or own the original CD-ROM, you are, for the moment, SOL.

Zymurgy's First Law of Evolving System Dynamics:
Once you open a can of worms, the only way to recan them is to use a larger can.

So. Who wants to bet that no one will point out what abysmal sysadmins they are, letting internal servers run amok all over the open Internet, only finding out days afterward after someone had to tell them.

And who wants to further bet that the AI grifters will respond that the only way to prevent this from happening again is to give them trillions more dollars so they can build bigger, "hardened" datacenters?

Is there no level of rank incompetence they won't excuse?

I've seen various things people have played around with, trying to cram some additional useful bits into a transceiver (like micro Linux systems). They're bulky, use way more power, and thus more heat. I don't believe that anybody is sneaking anything extra into actual regularly-used transceivers; there's barely enough space and power budget to do the primary job of the transceiver.

Now, AI advancements — and pressure on executives to show they're embracing the new technology [ ... ]

"From who?

"...PRESSURE FROM WHO, M*TH*RF*CK*R!?"

I have looked through the manual; I found nothing. Which doesn't surprise me, since I assume the manufacturer deems it in their own interests to not have these things turned off.

I bought a can of this about a year ago, it works pretty well. I sprayed it all around the outside perimeter of the house, and a few choice inside spots. You have to re-apply it every 6 months or so, but worth it.

And nobody knows how to do that, and if they did there's no guarantee the car would keep working. I bring this up to prevent the quoted statement from making someone think that "disabling your car modem is a thing" people do... it isn't, despite many -- like myself -- very much wanting to do so.

Not sure this is really news. Well, except that Texas has stopped buying American.

Free speech includes lying.

Have a little faith, everything will be fine! I have not yet read an account of AI doing something awful for which it failed to offer a heartfelt apology afterward.

"I'm sorry. I seem to have burned down your house, despite your clear instructions not to do so. I'm very, very, terribly sorry."

I wonder what the ven overlap would be of the categories "capable of running offline model" and "likely to fall in love with chatbot".

It's the time change that's the problem. Otherwise being near the timezone border would be an issue.

Merit should always consider strictly value.

Oh, no, it's perfectly "legal." You "agreed" to allow your TV to be used like this in the EULA when you installed the app. ( https://blog.includesecurity.c... )
