Should be a nice salary boost for developers in a year or two when all these companies desperately need to rehire to fix whatever AI slop mess they have created.
And I hope every developer demands 2x their current salary if they are tasked with re-engineering that crap.
+1 for feeder
Uhh he should know all the Elite hackers call it Tracer-T
Remember this blast from the past?
I totally suck at the piano/keyboard but I still enjoy it so much
SO is rapidly fading into irrelevance, but we’re all still writing code anyways. Seems like the problem will solve itself.
A great way is by charging for volume of trash produced. My city works that way (pay per bag) and we produce very little trash (sometimes not even filling a trash bag in one week). It also makes you really consider buying something when you include the potential cost of throwing it away, if it is not reusable.
I don’t hate Google. But some of their services/products are more buggy then the competitors (gmail, chat, chrome) and some don’t have much utility (free form search for products or recommendations, maps) so I use the better competitor products, where it benefits me. And I use the Google product when it offers me a benefit (search for technical documentation or finding a specific URL, chrome devtools). In some cases I’m locked in (gmail) and in that respect, it’s frustrating (but not unique to Google)
I’ve had the same pair of Rockport boots for 20+ years.
How much disdain I have for change (“they are just making it worse!”) aka grumpy old man syndrome
A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.
It’s impossible if the vendors stop shipping os updates. I can’t use an out of date phone for my works 2fa push. Kept my phone for 5 years and it was still going, but the planned obsolescence got me.
The content creator can delete comments from their own videos.
I use paper for shopping lists, to keep track of dimensions etc, and to-do lists for work.
I tried multiple note taking or to do list apps over the course of a few years before going back to paper.
Benefits: No risk of scratching/dropping my phone because I have it out. Can easily emphasize text, star/cross off items, and mix diagrams and text. Can quickly scan many items by eye. Works when my phone battery dies. Works when no cell service (unlike some collaborative to-do/list apps) Can hand the list to my partner. Instant sync. Satisfying to physically toss out completed lists. Can reference the list while on the phone. Not distracted by phone alerts. Never get spam email or pop ups urging me to pay for an app, or rate an app; no terms of service or privacy policy!
The scary part to me (noted in the article as well) is less the technical hack but more so the amount of data they are collecting.
Subaru had/has an ongoing issue where the telematics drains the battery while the car is parked, especially if it’s parked out of reach of cell towers. With the amount of data they are sending, it’s not surprising.
There is no need for the car to report its position whatsoever unless I request assistance.
