Comment Re:Linux has IDs as well. (Score 2) 55
Yeah that comment is not even close. Sure GUIDs are generated on a Linux device. Or any device really, for a number of reasons and uses. But even if the police get one somehow, who will they ask to figure out who it belongs to?
The only exception I can think of is if the police hack into a suspect's PC then they can extract a wealth of information about that person and figure out who they are. But that has no bearing on the OS and how much you trust the entities that created it (except that the police are less likely to be equipped to hack an OS that is not popular).

Denotating it is exactly what the Bluetooth name does. *Detonating* it, on the other hand...

Yup I bet you the system prompt for the AI instructs it to stroke the ego of users. Probably an an attempt to get them to pay for subscriptions to AI-related services.
We have laws against gambling because it exploits human behavior for profit. I won't be surprised if we see laws banning or restricting this sort of behavior in AIs for the same reason, eventually.
Comment Opt out of all FOG DATA SCIENCE data sets (Score 5, Insightful) 62
"Opt out of all FOG DATA SCIENCE data sets"
What -- exactly -- does that do, how quickly, and what are some of the side-effects?\
Underneath, it says "You will be removed from all our data sets." And yet I doubt that very much. Surely there will be an entry in a database somewhere saying "Device identifier ________-____-_____-_____-_____ requested removed date-and-time _____ from IP address _____", etc.
And does that only retroactively remove data? Suppose they snarf up another dataset, bought from someone else or collected by themselves. Is that data also removed from their datasets, or does another removal request have to be made?
