We converted to Zscaler and just implemented Okta. Both are nothing but steaming piles.

Fun fact: Okta has as one of its authentication methods an email with a security code. If you can't get into Outlook, how are you supposed to receive your code? If you happen to have a comany phone, then you should be okay. But if not, are you supposed to use your personal phone?

Zscaler is similar. If you select to receive a phone call, how are you supposed to receive that call if you haven't authenticated Teams?

This is one time I'm rooting for Anthropic. Get rid of these scam artists and do security right.

The ONLY reason this is even being mentioned is because Obama said it first. Had he not said anything the dementia-adled pumpkin and his minions wouldn't have a reason to say anything. It's only because the first black president, one who is looked upon far more favorably than the current goon-in-chief, that anything is even being mentioned.

Give it a week. You'll never hear anything about it again.

I am anti copyright and have been all my life. I have created things of value and always dump them into the public domain.

Copyright infringes our rights to use our brain and voice and hands and body.

Fuck IP.

That is your choice. You're the one who decided what to do with YOUR work.

Telling everyone else what they can do with what THEY created is not how it works.

If a bank deposits money into your account by accident, and you spend that money, you are liable for returning it. It's settled law. You can't claim you didn't know or thought it was a "gift" from the bank.

If these people choose not to return the money then the next step would be to freeze their wallets/accounts.

Windows 10 users must enroll in Microsoft's paid Extended Security Updates program to get the new certificates.

Microsoft should be required to provide a certificate without any restriction. How many tens of millions of computers still run W10? Forcing people to enroll in something just to get a required update should be an automatic penalty.

Yep. And different from penny-stocks or other crappy investments, you will not ever be able to sell them, because the Bitcoin network will simply vanish when mining does not pay anymore.

Miners are turning off their rigs because it's not profitable to mine. The cost to mine is roughly $87,000 whereas BTC is only at 70,000 or so.

First, I'd like you to define "AI".

Not generated by a human as it's been done for centuries. Now start splitting hairs and moving the goalposts.

Second, prove to me in court that AI was used.

See above. Start splitting the hairs more finely.

Three, this law is obviously contrary to the US Constitution.

No it isn't.

Add to that the stupid nagging systems that are just annoying, beeping and throwing up a text about something it thinks is wrong.

An annoyed driver is not a good driver.

100% agree. I'm using a loaner vehicle and the amount of daily harrassment is staggering. Between being yelled at when backing out of the garage to being yelled at when I get out because I opened the rear door and put my things in the back seat, it's another reminder why I won't get a new car. If I did, I'd have to find someone to hack the software to turn all the shit off so I can drive.

If he hated wind farms that bad, he would sell the course.

He's spent hundreds of millions of dollars rehabbing a course which only turned a profit seven years after purchasing it, and the profit doesn't come close to covering all the previous costs. But the real question is, where did he get the money to purchase the course in cash in the first place? Then again, how else would he be able to launder money?
