Seems their new encryption only limits what they can give law enforcement, until they are motivated to do otherwise.
It's not like they can't push an update to the device to have it dump it's encryption key back to the mothership.
If you don't want other people looking at it, get it off the cloud. Period.
Oh, you're still expecting a Slashdot "editor" to do something besides mash the "accept" button to user submitted stories.
Good luck with that.
He's been doing drastic shit for two years and it's not improved things for anyone except billionaires.
Gee, you don't think that was the plan all along, do you? Imagine a billionaire doing things that only billionaires would benefit from. Nobody could have seen that coming!
Facebook 2026Q2 earnings:
Revenue: $60.80 billion, marking a 28% increase year-over-year.
Net Income: $15.85 billion.
Diluted EPS: $6.18, compared to analyst expectations of around $7.14.
Total Costs and Expenses: $42.03 billion, which included legal charges and severance costs.
Capital Expenditures: Projected to be between $130 billion and $145 billion for the full year 2026, driven heavily by infrastructure and data center investments for AI.
This settlement is a little over 10% of what they are spending on datacenter builds, and a tiny bit more than 3 months of profit. Ripoff confirmed.
Spare me the "red scare" bullshit.
Show one serious person who has an actual avenue to do any of this bullshit and I'll believe you. No, talking about some dipshit streamer on Twitch isn't getting there. Show an elected politician in the US, or one that is currently running as a major party candidate that advocates "outright Communism" or praises Chairman Mao.
Prove your bullshit claim.
This is the same scare tactics bullshit as the "sharia law" dogwhistle. The only elected in office right now that is increasing the creep of socialism and communism is President Trump with his government price controls on hundreds of thousands of tons of imported mystery meat that he won't tell us where it's actually coming from ("most transparent administration in history"), heavy-handed central economic planning through tariffs and trying to fire FED governors that don't do what he wants, and seizing the means of production through the Treasury buying equity stakes in private business.
That's the real source of angst around/about Elon and X.
Not even close.
Elon is actively reposting white nationalist horseshit. That's a pretty big source of angst.
The "For You" tab is a firehose of propaganda shitposts that you probably never asked for, targeted to piss you off and keep you hate-posting. That's a pretty big source of angst.
They still "label" accounts that say things they don't like to shadowban, with no recourse or even any human review / audit / appeal. That causes angst, and it's also the censorship you are screaming about.
X is run by the biggest shitposting troll on the planet, and it shows.
It's mandatory if you want to use the service today. Otherwise you are "waitlisted" to use it for free.
Seems scammy, but I get that they want early adopters to help offset operational cost.
So don't allow your model a tool to do that?
Do you even know how any of this works? Because it seems you don't know how any of this works. You can restrict what commands a model can run, so give it a setup that denies any access to `ip` or `networkmanager` or whatever.
Try not being a paranoid ignorant.
Your excuses are tired and stupid. 10 years and 15 days was the difference between no human flying farther than velocity and height would bring, and commercial air travel. HTH.
Which means that it's basically a non-event. Why deal with this vendor-locked garbage when it's trivial to set up the toolchain and buy one of those Nvidia boxes? Or one of those AMD Ryzen AI Halo things?
Yeah, it's still Nvidia, but if you're going to spend thousands on hardware, they've always been a good bet for still being around in a few years, and still giving a shit about you after a few years.
They're still making Shield TV Pro software updates like 7 years later. Buying into some locked up piece of shit when the bubble is about to burst might be the icing on the stupidity cake.
So...
$ ollama pull [model]
$ ip link set eth0 down
$ ollama run [model]
Airgapping is a thing. Find out if it runs or not. Only takes a few minutes to download a model and give it a go.
"Fuck this; neither of them is fit for the office they'e running for," because they believe that voting for the lesser off two evils is still voting for evil.
This is unreasonable. You are basically saying "Neither candidate fits my perfect mold of a broad spectrum of issues, so I'll vote for nobody and pretend that whatever happens isn't my fault." Sure, you might think you're not responsible, but you still have to live with the results, don't you? Be an adult, and recognize that sometimes there are nothing but bad choices, and you have to pick the least bad choice. If you take a pass, you still get to potentially live with the worst choice when you and a lot of people like you could have made the difference.
Of course, I live in California, where 4 million Harris voters could have stayed home and she still would have carried the state.
Hey, I'm in Oregon which is basically exactly the same. This is why the electoral college is ridiculous, but it's the rules we're playing by. Whining about what could be doesn't change what is.
I'll happily concede that she would have been much less awful, but
So you have a problem understanding that *stop digging* is the first step of getting out of a really deep fucking hole? See my first point. Much less awful sounds really fucking nice right now.
And hiding behind that is why nothing happens. Yes, an individual only makes a tiny, minute change. But there's no reason that individual, and every other individual out there can't at least give it a fucking go other than lack of motivation, or pure selfishness.
Because no measurements of ocean temperature is ever done from orbit, is it?
Surely there is no advantage to measuring and observing weather phenomena from a geostationary satellite, is there?
Your sarcasm is weak shit, identified by your stunning ignorance.
Total US population in 2024: 340,110,988
Total registered US voters in 2024: ~174m
Total votes cast in 2024: 155,201,157
Your "statistic" is stupid, because there are 166 million people here that are not registered to vote, or cannot register to vote (age, not a citizen, etc.).
Therefore, of the 174m registered voters, only 155.2m of them could bother. 75,019,230 went to Harris, 77,303,568 went to Trump. He won ~44% of registered voters, where Harris got ~43%. 13% couldn't bother.
The problem is that 13%. Their apathy is causing all the fucking problems we have today.
I'm a Lisp variable -- bind me!
