@KimPerales It's bizarre that they describe Altman as one of their 'most successful alumni' since just about everything he did before OpenAI failed on its merits. But he was able to leverage them to get progressively more-lucrative gigs, whether or not the companies actually did well, so I guess that makes him "successful" - as a grifter.
Heaven for domestic abuse: a new spywaretool just up for grabs. It's like having Pegasus at home. What could possibly go wrong? Microsoft knows most families share their accounts or at least can easily log into eachothers accounts. They just choose to ignore it.
@ElBeeToots And something with electricity that powergrids cannot handle.
Good thing we have internet neutrality in the EU. I'm sure if we have that for power/energy.
@helma I concur. The ease with which large corporations like Google and Microsoft seem to be able to get licences for building new data centres and the energy that demands, makes me question the 'energy net neutrality', though 🤔
Glad I switched, fully, to #Linux a few months ago. I'm not a programmer or techie, and struggled with Linux in the past, but compared to a decade ago, the installation was really easy & it the user interface has improved dramatically.
@Matt_Noyes Good question! I think I just felt their installation guide and UI to be the most user-friendly for my personal level of comfort with tech.
I am a run-of-the-mill Android-phone-Windows-desktop-Gmail-user but now I'm in the process of transitioning from Gmail and using Duck Duck Go to research how to set up a Linux desktop.
Oh, and also now Signal-curious.
What is this place? Some kind of privacy cult LOL?
@shansterable Or other way - privacy cult chose this place because there is no surveillance here. As a paranoid I use it as only social media service :blobfoxmlem:
"Given that Microsoft has not been able to prevent massive hacks of its servers, this product — which will record everything you do on a Windows PC — qualifies as criminally insane."

"Satya Nadella says Windows PCs will have a photographic memory feature called Recall that will remember and understand everything you do on your computer by taking constant screenshots."

»New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC - Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."« 🤦♂️
@kuketzblog Es wird unter Garantie zahlreiche Menschen geben die sich das freiwillig ins Haus holen.
Und was ist in 1 oder 2 Jahren? Wird dann doch irgendwann nach Hause telefoniert? Wäre bei m$ ja nicht das erste Mal (win 10 +11, outlock, das was jetzt nicht mehr office heißt...).
Everyone is so up in arms about the 'recall' that's about to be baked into Windoze. Let me remind you that, during the pandemic, this thing was already widely rolled out in Teams and used by almost every company to spy on their remote employees, keystrokes, activity and all. All companies conveniently forgot to turn that off, until now. And no, I am not a tin-foil hat kinda guy, just a realist. #Windows#privacy#Spyware
@thelinuxcast It's not better or worse; it has been there for a long time already. The divide between work and personal privacy is non-existent. What's different is the guts of MS to speak openly about it as a feature. But hey, call it AI and it's fine 🤣
Beware of #SONOFF Products in #HomeAutomation. If you have a choice, don't buy them! The #eWeLink App refuses to populate the WiFi Network to pair new devices if you do not deactivate 'Private WiFi Address' (MAC randomisation), 'Limit IP Address Tracking' & activate 'Location Services' and give access to 'Precise Location' on iPhone. #HomeAssistant . They even published a blog article about it, recommending to deactivate these vital protections, instead of fixing the App. #ChinaCloud#SpyWare 🤦
@danie10 I went through the websites & docs and it appears a monumental mission - either there are remarks of 'no longer supported' or you need to solder wires or this or that. Gees, if it is no longer supported, remove it from the list #Blackadder . And why such a mission to flash a Camera, while it could be easily done via SD Card. Or I am to new to all of this, to grasp it all at once.
@pee well if setup once then it works OK. I did buy a small USB-serial adaptor ages ago, and the wires coming out have those socket connectors on. I may have had to solder those pin things onto the Sonoff switch (can't remember as it was years ago) and then just connect the adaptor and flash. But I do also recall that things got easier as updates just required a file to be copied and reboot the device.
@kubikpixel Dein Zitat ist aber auch nicht wirklich offen….
Suggeriert für mich eher, dass dies eine Aussage aus einem Bundesamt ist. Ist es nicht, weil in dieser Textstelle um Hintertüren geht.
Low severity [#malware incident] A #minecraft mod called "Windows Borderless" on #Modrinth was taken down yesterday. It contained #spyware wich stole credentials from Chrome and Chromium-Based browsers. Only Windows users were affected. The mod was not found in any modpacks and was not uploaded to other platforms.
