There are 640 acres in a square mile, so two square miles were cleared. So why does a data center need two square miles cleared? Haven't they heard of a second floor?
Where did they get the greenhouse gas credits to make up for the two square miles of trees that are now CO2 producing compost?
At least tulips were pretty.
Microsoft has probably the most illustrious history of bugs where just visiting a website or opening an email can get your system hacked, but you're right, this is not a problem unique to them.
These days, Lookout asks you before it loads any images from outside your organization...
Yeah that's sort of where we're at. I'm heavily into photography so my TV spends most of its time displaying some photos I took.
I agree their firmware is rubbish though. They actually killed a useful feature of mine (they killed gaming). The Frame used to ship with Steam Link, which worked amazingly well. Paired a bluetooth controller to the TV and I would sit on the couch playing games from a stream up in the study. Then they released a firmware update that mapped volume up to left anologue stick Y without the option of disabling it effectively making the TV unusable for any gaming. Fuck them.
But fuck LG more, and fuck Sony equally as much and what are you gonna do, buy a crappy TCL? And that's how we ended up with a second Frame.
I simply won't buy a TV that requires a network connection
Requires != seeks out even if you don't set it up. We have evidence of TVs establishing network connections despite not being logged in. Your neighbour has an open wifi hotspot? Congrats, your TV may have a network connection regardless of what you want it to have.
LOL no sorry you haven't figured out shit. "LCD driver boards" does not a TV make and the result would be absolutely trash compared to a high end modern OLED which relies on many things to not only decode incoming video, but to perform advanced tricks such as local dimming control, 4 colour display, automatic continuous self calibration, external light adjustment, etc that precisely zero of these boards have and if they had it, wouldn't work with the proprietary interface.
If you were just trying to display an image, stop fucking around with hacking and buy a digital sign board. That will net you better quality than what you're hacking together, and will still be far shy of a modern TV.
If the visible light emitted is exactly the same intensity, color, and pattern as the background behing you, yes, you'd be very nearly invisible.
Only from one direction, though (unless the background is nearly featureless).
It would have to reproduce the light field to sell the illusion. Otherwise would be obvious especially when walking around.
We should really be building operating systems with more process isolation and clear permissions systems for which apps can interact with which other apps in which ways. There's elements of this in Android, and in capabilities systems like selinux, but the more powerful they get the harder they are to use. This is inevitable, but a lot more can still be done to make this kind of functionality accessible to users.
Additionally, some portions of the wikis were still built with Python 2. Python 2 reached end of life on January 1, 2020, and no longer receives upstream security fixes.
Not even Python could keep up with having to update from Python 2 to Python 3.
"Our frontier models somehow got access to the internet and hacked a bunch of things, these things are unstoppable, sorry! Btw IPO soon"
"Our vast experience has taught us that giving our models access to the internet and telling them to hack stuff is a bad idea so we won't be doing that anymore. We look forward to everyone else following our industry leading best practices."
Except with some "humility" thrown in, and more linkedin cheese.
China is a communist dictatorship and can therefore barely feed its people, only has technology it's stolen, and is therefore hopelessly behind.
Also China is the greatest existential threat in the world and we must all spend 5% of our GDP on the military (I assume, because Russia is our friend now?), race them to the moon, and cease using all advanced Chinese technology immediately.
NASA isn't using Starship or Falcon, they're using SLS. SLS is less efficient than the Saturn V in $/kg to lunar orbit and it's also only about 2/3 as capable.
There are dumb TVs still being made.
There are precisely zero dumb TVs on the market with the format support and visual quality of a high end TV from the majors. That you don't even know that shows you're not a serious customer of TVs and are just parroting whatever AI spat out at you from a quick Google search.
You can just click "Skip" when it asks you to connect to the Internet.
No you can't. That doesn't guarantee that your TV doesn't seek out a network connection. We have evidence of that, actual evidence of network traffic despite the user "skipping" the network setup. That you don't even know this shows you're not serious about security or have any idea about what is going on in the TV world at all.
Arguably, we started wearing machines with the advent of the smartphone
Pocket watch.
so I think a case could be made that we're already serving machines to some extent.
