Same stance the UK Post Office took with Horizon. A fucking stupid stance…

The key differences is utilities you’re paying for the generation & maintenance of key resources - without gas, water and electricity we wouldn’t be able to survive. Road tax you’re helping to pay for the renewal and upkeep of the road surface (among other local services)… Left alone the road will degrade & will become unusable.

Suspension as a Service is milking what should be a perpetual cost when purchasing the vehicle. If the hardware is already installed, it should be available for the owner to use. They’re not paying for the upkeep of the vehicle, or even ensuring the suspension remains functional… All they’ve done is placed the function behind a pay wall. They can argue they’re maintaining the software, but it’s utter bullshit and I hate the fact this has become a norm within B2B (for example network appliances)

At least with luxury subscriptions such as Spotify, Netflix, NYT, etc you’re getting access to their content, which they renew. Here you get access to something you should have had access to from day 1.

It wouldn’t stop against volumetric attacks…

They’d still fully consume the WAN bearer regardless of Crowdsec protecting the endpoint. For that you need a scrubbing centre to dump the traffic onto.

Why? Its hardware is dog shit.

Like most of my work’s processes… Shit goes in, shit comes out…

Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can’t compromise the others.

The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.

Looking at you Nvidia, Razar, etc…

Whilst I agree in the spirit of the petition, the wording isn’t great.

Server infrastructure has significant opex costs to run & maintain - it’s impractical to demand publishers to keep them alive, especially if the running cost far exceeds the player demand & potential revenues. What happens if that publisher goes bust? What happens if a significant security vulnerability is found?

Might be better to have legislation for software publishers (not just games) to both plan & implement a sunsetting strategies when they intend to retire software.

Eg. If the online component was just performing license checks, make software publishers remove the DRM. If it’s to host a DLC store, release all DLC items for free & remove the store. If its for multi-player mechanics, release both the client & server software as limited open-source license so the community can maintain those assets going forward.

Execs don’t give a shit. They simply double down on the false cause fallacy instead. They wouldn’t ever admit they fucked up.

Last year the company I work for went through a run of redundancies, claiming AI and system improvements were the cause. Before this point we were growing (slowly) year on year. Just not growing fast enough for the shareholders.

They cut too deep, shit is falling apart, and we’re loosing bids to competitors. Now they’ve doubled down on AI, claiming blindness to the systems issues they created, and just made an employee’s “Can Do” attitude a performance goal.

You’ve clearly not worked in enterprise recently. Everything is about the Cloud, AI, and reducing Opex spending currently.

Unless some exec has a meltdown and demands them to revert the site

Didn’t you hear? The future is the cloud!

Why host stuff locally when you can host it on someone else’s computer, and have fun, exciting, and completely foreseeable failures like this…

The internet is now just AWS, Azure, GCP and Cloudflare.

I don’t know… In America they’re currently rolling back rights for women, inserted religion into supreme court decisions, and are seriously debating a second term of Trump.

None of that makes any fucking sense. If it requires elaborate mental hoops, they’ll find it.

It’s such a stupid name! Everytime it’s mentioned, it has to be prepend or suffixed with something so people actually understand the “X” context.

And more importantly - If you visit x.com, it redirects to twitter.com! So what’s the fucking point of the rebrand?

Approximately $142.86 per student. If that’s 1 school calendar year, they seem to be accumulating 80-90¢ per day, or $4 per week.

Don’t worry, they’ll have AI animated stick figures telling them what to do instead…

Surely the USPS would then just open the package, to try and identify who the sender was instead?

It’s as though they took “The Handmaid’s Tale” as a blueprint.

If it was a human agent, surely they would still liable?

They’re an agent of the company. They’re acting on behalf of the company, in accordance to their policy and procedures. It then becomes a training issue if they were providing incorrect information?

Honestly surprised Sable was able to get settlements from Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, SonicWall, and Juniper Networks. They’re not small names in the industry.

It was only Cloudflare’s legal strategy which managed to invalidate the patents.

You don’t need a warrant to purchase data.

That data would have been collected by a private company, and sold to them. The NSA isn’t the only entity purchasing that metadata.

Not only should the public be concerned on the NSA’s intention for that data, but for the countless private companies holding & using it too.
