What an interesting way to roll out a dragnet surveillance network.

So they're willing to freely admit that third-party app stores are typically cesspools of spam and malware.

"We're making this decision because we'd like to be in trouble."

I have had Gemini (unrequested) suggest non-working code as a solution to a relatively simple problem expressed by a google search as recently as this month. There's a difference between "$handle" and "[ $handle ]" and Gemini clearly doesn't understand that, so... I suspect Block's downfall will be quite exciting with lots of lawsuits and collateral damage.

I have no idea why this isn't already upvoted to 5 and beyond. There are vape rigs that have a built in ssh server now for pete's sake.

Most of the things these other people are talking about probably don't use telnetd at all but instead simply use an inet superserver (inetd/xinetd) that launches their whatever.

There's just no reason to be using telnetd unless someone is expecting people to login like it's 1996 or something,

Uhh... You had me until you got to this:

One doesn't solve those kinds of problems by simply mandating that someone else do something that's virtually impossible. That's unworkable and a bit ridiculous. One can however, make it strictly illegal for companies operating in the US to attempt to track users online. Good luck getting lobbyists to stop writing checks to prevent that.

So it almost created a working compiler.

Do try to remember that "almost" only counts with hand-grenades and horseshoes.

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Unfortunately, that's never what "at will" meant. Those are actually the states where you can be fired at any time for any reason.

I doubt that will be something that will convince them, but if they're going to play these kinds of games that's fine. With this in mind if ICE tries to stop me, I'm going to treat it like the deadly threat to my safety and liberty that it clearly is. I suggest everyone else do the same.

Users being asked to change their passwords generally means they're going to change them to another bad password--likely one that's also already been leaked.

There's no acceptable "middle ground" for this. Either we've got free speech, or we're giving Trump and the GOP the ability to sue any provider that allows users to say things their administration doesn't like. The only thing trying to reach a "middle ground" accomplishes is fine-tuning how many lawsuits they'll need to file to silence dissent.
