“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.

And he saw nothing wrong with that.

Does this mean sideloading is going away on Android? Absolutely not. Sideloading is fundamental to Android and it is not going away.

This statement is untrue. The developer verification decree effectively ends the ability for individuals to choose what software they run on the devices they own.

…

Wikipedia’s summary definition is:

the transfer of apps from web sources that are not vendor-approved

By this definition, Google’s statement that “sideloading is not going away” is simply false. The vendor — Google, in the case of Android certified devices — will, in point of fact, be approving the source. The supplicant app developer must register with Google, pay a fee, provide government identification, agree to non-negotiable (and ever-changing) terms and conditions, enumerate all their current and future application identifiers, upload evidence of their private signing key, and then hope and wait for Google’s approval.

I’m glad to see this bullshit called out.

Billionaire transcends all other identities.

A trans billionaire (if it was ever allowed to happen) would be a shitbird by default.

What kind of services?

I’m having trouble imagining what’s possible and worth hosting for friends and family.

Flood the feed with a million twinks and AOCs and Republican Congress will coom itself until early retirement.

TL;dr of the article :

1. They keep your private key on their servers.
2. Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
3. It’s closed source.
4. There’s no perfect forward secrecy.

This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.

I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.

In case you, like me, were wondering wtf stingrays are (besides a type of fish). This is from their report :

Cell-site simulators, also known as “Stingrays” or IMSI catchers, are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.

Cell-site simulators operate by conducting a general search of all cell phones within the device’s radius, in violation of basic constitutional protections. Law enforcement use cell-site simulators to pinpoint the location of phones with greater accuracy than phone companies. Cell-site simulators can also log IMSI numbers (unique identifying numbers) of all of the mobile devices within a given area.

…

The fact that government agencies are using these devices without the utmost consideration for the privacy and rights of individuals around them is alarming but not surprising. The federal government, and in particular agencies like HSI and ICE, have a dubious and troubling relationship with overbroad collection of private data on individuals.

let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI

This should be the headline.

Then everyone can make up their minds about whether or not to stay with Microsoft or finally move on.

This just in: 13 stream-ripping sites launch in Vietnam.

You have things like the EuroStack, which is Europe’s response to the explicit merger of American tech with American state policy. Frankly, I think that’s much better than taxing or regulating American tech. Just sideline it. Make it irrelevant. Don’t try and fix it. I mean, American tech is irredeemable. Just make it part of the scrap heap of history.

I like this option.

They’ll wait until the bubble bursts (or OpenAI shows signs of weakness) and then they’ll eat it alive.

It’s not profitable to go after them when the government is tweeting out Pokémon ICE commercials and the president is making deepfakes of himself.

The difference is your comment managed to say that without being a dick about it.

Blocked for being a dick.

In fact, according to The Register, the GPU computing performance of the GB10 chip is roughly equivalent to an RTX 5070. However, the 5070 is limited to 12GB of video memory, which limits the size of AI models that can be run on such a system. With 128GB of unified memory, the DGX Spark can run far larger models, albeit at a slower speed than, say, an RTX 5090 (which typically ships with 24 GB of RAM). For example, to run the 120 billion-parameter larger version of OpenAI’s recent gpt-oss language model, you’d need about 80GB of memory, which is far more than you can get in a consumer GPU.

Or you could’ve just made GPUs, and then we’d all be gaming and calling each other shitheads in Valorant instead of - checks notes - literally stealing the water from poor communities.

I’d run my microwave for an hour if it would make him go away.

New punishments for hacking politicians’ phones.

Zero changes for anyone else.

Is that the new reduce, reuse, recycle ?

You can create different accounts under different email addresses.

Once you’re logged in, you can switch between accounts from the dropdown menu.

I’ve done this in the past to separate French YouTube recs from English ones.

It’s recycling all over again.

Corporations are responsible for a vast majority of the waste, but they try to shift the blame to individuals.
