Narco trafficking sounds like a good incentive to get rid of drone operators. Wouldn’t want them capturing footage of those operations

A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.

Tech papers are not anecdotal.

You will never regret or acknowledge the error.

Enjoy your hill.

Cool. Every tech paper I’ve read has said how terrible their hearing aids are compared to AirPods, so your anecdote is meaningless.

Also, did that hearing aid retail for under $300?

You would rather be indirectly gouged by a no-name brand that creates an inferior one-off product than buy an Apple product.

This is the hill you chose and no amount of government healthcare can save you from it.

Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.

Ok boomer

5+ season of For All Mankind disagree with you. Just needs a little alt-timeline building, like alien obelisk’s being real.

True of literally every sitcom.

There is a lot of misinformation on what Facebook is and isn’t doing. And a lot of it is pushing 10 years old.

Facebook has long had features that detect exactly what you’re describing. They aren’t recording it, they are fingerprinting it. The target is any ads and music that is played but it could go beyond that.

This is fundamentally no different than the way a device is passively listening for the “hey, assistant” phrase which just matches a fingerprint.

Anyone who is simply looking for immediate data transfer when this occurs is a fool. There is absolutely no reason it cannot hold the list of known finger prints and add them to otherwise normal requests. The same for anyone looking for cpu spikes; these fingerprints are highly performant and it’s not recording, it’s matching so Facebook can deny all day that they don’t record your conversation and it isn’t a lie because it’s the wrong accusation.

I hope he spends billions on it only to resell it for millions after the internet moves on.

Google’s death spiral will take a while but it’s clearly circle the drain.

It will likely never completely die the same way IBM never died but it will stop being the desired placed for new graduates.

This, plus giving extraneous information that may lead to incorrect presumptions.

Really just sounds like they are deploying government equipment. There is no report of it being hardware built by spaceX. That is all speculation and clickbait m.

The company makes money by delivering payloads to space. In the end they are a delivery company moving packages from point A to point B.

That the US government would use this service seems obvious. SpaceX is well known for profiting off government funds.

Pay to have fiber run to your house. Your living choice isn’t our problem.

From the toaster you’d still need to find a way to access a trusted device. This is going to require an exploit. But first the toaster needs meet some specific requirements, like does it have a web server or shell. If it’s a simple device that merely broadcasts its state it likely does it meet these requirements.

If your WiFi thermostat is broadcasting its default SSID, that means it is not connected to your WiFi. At most you can take control of the device but it won’t get you onto the trusted network any faster than hacking their WiFi directly. Best to go for a device already on the network.

Interesting that the Lemmy hive mind wants this to be true, yet another indication that this place does not have a strong technical knowledge base. But no, this wouldn’t be the decision of a single person. That isn’t what this exploit is but again, trying to explain things to people who don’t understand the technical side of things isn’t a winning battle.

No. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this work.

A car does not automatically accept commands to devices it connects to because of some inherent trust. The car would be programmed to only accept commands from devices it expects to send it such commands.

Anyone who allows the toaster to not only command the car but alap unlock the car should be fired and blackballed from the industry. That’s not a whoopsie, learning experience. That’s an unforgivable level of incompetence.

Piss in the sink. Wash hands. Problem solved!

TikTok is one of hundreds of vectors to swindle the senile and I doubt it’s even in the top 10.

Grandpa needs to have someone else handling his finances. It’s not the governments job and let’s not pretend this bill is about keeping grandpas money safe.
