Game publishers have long hated after-market resale of games, because they can't get a cut of it. Now, they can sell boxes with a code inside that's only valid for one use, one user - and there's no possible way to resell it after you're done playing. It's affecting stores like Half Price Books, GameStop, and anyplace else that has made a market out of stuff people no longer want. Book publishers finally got over their greed after courts told them that they can't control the resale of a physical book that someone buys; but apparently digital acquisition of media is a license, not a purchase of property, so the same rules don't apply.

Perhaps Congress can give the Library of Congress the authority to compel the news sources to archive their output to a system run by the LoC, that escrows it for say... 30 days then makes it public? Also, the archive is immutable and once a story is pushed there it cannot be changed, so they can't be rewriting history.....

This sounds great, how do I do that on Google TV/Tizen/Roku/etc? I'm not sure your solution goes further than a desktop OS....

First, the report is a few days late....

Second, the /etc/modprobe.d mitigation DOES NOT WORK on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The affected module is compiled into the kernel, and must be disabled using kernel boot parameters.

implement: grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init"
reboot required
verify: cat /proc/cmdline | grep initcall_blacklist
revert: grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args="initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init"

Kernel updates for RHEL 8,9 and 10 have been released. Ubuntu hasn't released anything except kmod fixes yet.

So... sounds like they have copilot under the wrong division. This should be marketed by the XBox team instead of business applications.

Based on my experiences, this means no two iterations of the software will ever look or work the same. They won't actually be one version building on the next, but every re-run of the prompt will generate a fresh v1 that is distinctly different from the previous run.

Another angle of this, too, is based on recent court rulings - AI-generated material is NOT subject to copyright. So, for example if Microsoft decides to re-write Word using AI completely using this method, Word's source is no longer protected by copyright. Now *that* would be an interesting conundrum.

I think another contributing factor, specific to business that provides 24/7 support, is that it's now easier than ever to have call centers in multiple countries, everyone working "normal" business hours, but still making good on their 24/7 coverage. Of course, a lot of those call centers are now exclusively in places like India, so the 24 hour shift work has just been outsourced, too.

How about... make the AI as add-ons and people can choose to install them in their browser - but don't put "AI" into the main browser at all? That seems a lot more logical and less controversial.

Maybe they can address Youtube, Facebook and Twitter next... for the exact same reasons.

Funny how much this looks like how I've had my Cinnamon desktop configured for almost a decade...system menu at the top left, widgets, clock etc on the top right, open applications top center; then at bottom center is the open application windows on each particular monitor, and bottom right is the virtual desktop switcher and system sensors widget. I've used this configuration since switching from Ubuntu 11.04's first attempt at the Unity desktop (tried it for 30 days, it just did NOT work well for me - couldn't be customized at all for one thing) over to MATE on Linux Mint 13. MATE was decent, but I tried out Cinnamon about a month later and haven't gone back. In my multi-monitor setups I have panels (toolbars) on every monitor, with different information on each. Let's see Windows get *that* flexible...

you mean this?

This is not quite true. A trial jury can only ask for clarification from presented evidence, and only as part of their deliberations, not in open court.
Now, a grand jury has more latitude, but their deliberations and questions are secret, unless released by a judge.

The problem with Systemd is not that it's replacing init, but that it's moved on from init to try and control login, DNS resolution, home directory allocation, sound, kernel logging, driver loading, etc, etc. If Pottering had stuck with only writing an init system, then Systemd wouldn't be the vilified clusterfuck it is today.

Of course Facebook doesn't want them to be indexed by Google! It's not a privacy issue, it's so FB can have an advantage in the marketing data.

At what point did SQL become a programming language, and not a query language used by actual application languages? Also if SQL is now considered a programming language, which flavor is in demand? MS, MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, NoSQL, what?
