Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly. It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home. They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.

Who says they didn’t???

Even if Mr Swenson had used the same username and password on other sites, and if those credentials had been leaked online, that still should not have been enough to access the video feed or to control the robot remotely. These features are supposed to be protected by a four-digit PIN. The PIN code was only checked by the app, rather than by the server or robot.

I don’t even…

Yeah…

I bet there has been no delays expediting the group contributions to Sony…

That’s not how you spell “Xinjang camps” …

Just checked it out on steam and it seems that it’s micro transactions focuse. If it just was cosmetics it would have been ok, but since you can purchase vehicles it sounds like it’s leaning towards “get the upper hand by paying money”.

Anyone who have played the game that can tell if there’s better cars to buy for real money than you can “earn” ingame?

You forgot to add the /s in the end…

I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.

Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic matter.

Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…

It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it I’ve month later. Samr but opposite goes for the windows stats.

I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…

Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.

Love the tyre screeching on gravel 0:42…

In my experience there always someone willing to create everything from homebrew software to software activation. Especially if there’s some money to make on it.

The hardware has full functionality from day one. The limitation is in what software you are using.

Active suspension is not a hardware feature, it’s software collecting data from sensors and by analysing the data being able adjusting the suspension to “optimal performance”. Just because certain hardware can be controlled by software doesn’t mean that you will get whatever software features you like to have.

BMW would claim that “BMW Smooth Comfortable Cloud Ride Software” is included free of charge with the purchase of a BMW.

BMW would also claim that they offer “BMW Hyper Advanced AI Premium Sensation Masculine Active Road Experience Pro Suspension” as an optional subscription for alpha males and people with too much money in their pockets.

The outcome of what you are suggesting will be a slight change in the phrasing of the product offering at the most.

With access to the keys, the owner can subscribe to the BMW solution, unlock the features in breach of the agreement with BMW by not subscribing or get a software solution for the car from another provider.

While a honorable move, “never” doesn’t exist in a world based on quarterly financials…

So you purchase ordinary suspension but get active suspension that works exactly like ordinary suspension and cost like active suspension to service…

It’s time we get legislation that gives the consumer access to all encryption key pairs used in the product they purchased.

(For you who don’t know what encryption key pairs are used for: they are used for the software to know that a change order, like “activate suspension”, is legit and therefore will be executed.)

Not an American… But holy crap… If Disney succeeds with this… then … E-v-e-r-y single service will have a clause like “you hereby agree to never ever take legal action against us, our subsidiaries, cookie partners, affiliates, our friend’s dog or Bob for anything we might or might not have caused in the next 2 billion years if we don’t give you permission.”.

I’m happy that I’m living in the European Union av and not in Florida.

Ok. I too hate that everything is directed to cloud and saving locally is treated like something strange that no one wants.

The day Autodesk removes the capability for local save (“export your files from cloud” in some Autodesk website is not the same as saving files directly from Fusion 360) is the day I leave Fusion 360.

Wait what?

So when I save my F3D files locally I don’t get the whole project in the file?

If you’re getting excessive sweaty hands when wearing nitrile gloves, thyroid problems isn’t the most likely cause…

Both are CL 19 do you should be fine.

I’m sorry to be the guy that tried to ruin your party, but “if we collectively…”… How many people are you talking about?

100, 1000, 10000, 100000 ?

This is business. We’re talking about someone’s livelihood. Peace on earth is nice but it doesn’t guarantee food on your table.

Syncing is an alternative as long as it doesn’t mean that a view pays less on Odyssee than on YouTube. If it does, then the creator would not gain anything, just kidding income.

What is your selling argument for a YouTube creator with 100000 views on average to move to Odyssee?

My favorite channel wouldn’t have millions of subscribers and a somewhat steady recurring income because of this.

It’s a classic catch 22: Without viewers, no content creators. Without content creators, no viewers.

I think it’s great that they try to get rid of what makes YouTube suck but I don’t see that content creators are leaving YouTube anywhere soon.

Of course it’s clear the China is helping Russia.

Yeah… I totally respect that China doesn’t want to support any of the sides in Russias aggression against Ukraine.

So let’s fucking do this the Russian way by using proxies when purchasing products and services from China. China doesn’t seem to have any problems with that.

Or does it all boil down to that China “unofficially” supports Russia?
