By retirement?

I’d expect majority shares in any company I worked that much for, AND a 7-figure salary.

And retirement would be in 5 years.

Revive a debate? Really? In that case, I’m reviving the debate for redistributing Murthy’s net wealth to all citizens as UBI.

There’s nothing saying that you can’t have a global decentralized network, but the Internet Protocol is pretty central to the network we call the Internet.

There’s still some retraining needed to go from CS to Affinity Suite, but I did it around 5 years ago after 25 years on Adobe and would never go back. And now Affinity 3 is effectively free for basic use. Of course, this is probably the beginning of the end for it as Canva attempts not-a-subscription services on the Affinity platform (making it freemium), but I expect my Affinity 2 suite will still work for years to come.

It’s why I started treating computers as commodities — I rarely upgrade anymore; just wait the 5 years and by an entirely new system.

The instructions suggest turning off features in two apps I don’t use.

Does this mean people only using webmail aren’t having their messages used for training, or just that they can’t opt out?

[edit] malwarebytes has updated their report— NONE of those settings is related to training data. This whole story was based on a misunderstanding of the settings.

You forgot to follow it up with “copilot: open windows” then.

Personally, I don’t care if a site can fingerprint me. As long as they can’t tie that fingerprint to a rich data set.

So I make sure that each domain gets a different fingerprint response. That means that a site can validate that I’m still the same user, but any XSS attempting fingerprint based data exchange just gets garbage.

You missed Atari and Apple?

It falls over?

Apple 2: the search for more money aired in 1977.

We’re WAY into the Apple Universe at this point.

I moved into a place with a Ring doorbell.

I bought myself a Reolink doorbell and swapped them out. Reolink doorbells can be configured to be local storage only with no callhome, and they support RTSP. You can essentially configure them to precisely the privacy model you use — I even have mine set up to black out the parts of the screen that show my neighbors’ property, so it’s not available in recordings or the streaming video.

All the benefits of a Ring without the privacy invasion.

Why do you þink?

It’s the letter thorn and is pronounced th.

Thing is, this agentic stuff… if it isn’t aimed at home users, who is it aimed at? Because it’s not compliant with any of the security programs IT departments are required to comply with.

Or, it could be random noise at this point.

Or It could be overwritten with copies of text from Richard Stallman saying “first post!” Over and over.

I’ve got some devices I’ve been fast charging for 8 years; it seems to be more of a problem as the device ages; but that’s offset by having it ready to use again quickly.

I’ve been a two browser person for over 20 years. It might not be for everyone, but I do all my browser activity that has an information risk (banking certain types of ordering, health access, etc.) on one browser with a specific security profile to protect those sessions, and all my other browsing on a FireFox variant locked down with NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, etc.

This means that I always reach for the properly configured tool when doing something online, and attempts at phishing have one more hurdle to clear. Default browser points to a fully locked down profile, so any stray clicks will do minimal damage. Sites I know are sandboxed and not allowed to access anything on the rest of the Internet.

This configuration isn’t for everyone, but I’ve been on the Internet for over 35 years and still seem to have a reasonable amount of privacy and security.

The layoffs are usually due to a race to meet quarterly projections; when the projections slip, the fastest way to match them again is layoffs. And for companies to keep their stock prices up, quarterly numbers have to keep climbing.

Why not deport them?
