Big Journalism's timidity is never more obvious than when, confronted with a blatant lie from a (usually Republican) politician, the news org then frames the lie as a mere mistake.
Example today from ABC News -- headline:
"South Dakota Gov. Noem admits error of describing meeting Kim Jong Un in new book"
Come on, journalists, this just makes you look ridiculous.
It's not just Google, of course. When you trust your data to ANY #cloud service, you can get rugpulled at any moment without warning. Remember, they have the de-facto control over the data, and you don't.
Nur zwei Tage nach dem Urteil des EuGH brachte Frau Faeser (SPD) das Thema Vorratsdatenspeicherung wieder auf den Tisch. Das Urteil des EuGH ist bedauerlich und die Anforderungen an die technische Umsetzung realitätsfern. Das werden Frau Faeser und ihre Kollegen nach dem ersten Aufschrei wohl bald selbst merken.
So if I understand these wearable AIs approach I am supposed to carry a second super cheap phone that is specifically for AI around and that will help me not take out my primary smart phone?
Cool cool got it. One question.
Can I get a third phone with special software for #shitposting to make phone of the second phone so I don’t have to take out the first phone to dunk on them?
I’m looking at getting fibre to the home connected - it has finally arrived in the village where I live! - and one of the providers says they can “manage my wifi for me”.
Really? 🤨 So they can get into my router from outside my network, into my mesh nodes and monitor performance/change config remotely?
They say it’s “a service”. I say the Gigaspire Blast routers they are offering have been backdoored 🚩
I can’t seem to get a straight answer out of the ISP, so I hunted around the router manufacturer site. Seems that yes, ISP support can connect into the router at will and tinker with settings.
“the Wi-Fi systems that you provide for your managed WiFi service can be managed remotely by your customer support team.”
IMO this is not a feature, it is a big, fat security #fail. I won’t be attaching one of these to my network any time soon.
Also I am getting the impression that this family of routers (Gigaspire Blast) don’t let mere paying customers change the advanced settings. It’s for ISPs who don’t trust their customers with settings like DNS resolvers, open ports, routing tables, subnets etc. “Nanny knows best” #fail
Faut-il encore le rappeler: la mise en page typographique d'un document est essentielle pour délivrer un message de manière claire. #fail#communication#pub
Is there already a conspiracy theory as to why #printers always fail completely when you want to #print the most urgent and important documents? If not, let's invent one! 😈

I don't know how they knew setting this this to Ave Maria would be ten times funnier, but it is! [sound on, or watch once without sound and then turn on the sound, like I did]
