I’d be more worried about not using it, personally.

That said, storing videos isn’t the only use. I have a… fairly large NAS, and it has photos/videos I’ve taken (including the raws for some of my dslr photos), its the storage for my VMs, where my backups are stored (really a different NAS but appropriate for the discussion here) which are then backed up elsewhere as well, local git repos, etc, etc.

Is streaming all you do? If so, no, you don’t need it.

But if you do anything else, its a good place to store that data.

You cant change my mind that more (not all) people could attempt to be better, they just dont.

I wouldn’t try to - I agree.

I would also say many don’t have any interest in being better, which is why they don’t even make the attempt.

I would agree that far too many take the “easy” path of just buying premade foods, but I take issue with the last comment:

I dont remember this being difficult, even poor and working full time. Its all about the parents’ priorities.

“Poor” can often mean more than one full time job for a single person. The framing you’re putting on this suggests that any parent has this kind of time, and it just isn’t true. Its also especially worth mentioning that a person’s income can change wildly at any time - someone doing well enough to be the stay at home parent while the other works could suddenly become a single parent. A single parent that would need to work multiple jobs just to afford to keep living in their home.

And I say this as a parent lucky enough to work from home, and my partner being able to dedicate full time to parenting before going back to part time work.

Yes, we made all of their food at home. Even baking the bread they eat during the week. Not everyone is lucky enough to make that happen, especially now.

Those are all private.

Unfortunately I need to be gluten free.

Which makes it a $35 cheesecake thats also smaller. Fuck you shoprite, and fuck you gastrointestinal system in my body.

However everything I’m finding is listed as intended for switches/routers

They reuse the same casing.

You can check the pattern, but those ears should mount just fine on it.

The problem in there is corporations. AI is just the means of the dickery, not the cause.

I would also go further and say the root cause is capitalism, and that someone being able to eat or be housed should not be based on whether or not their art has met the criteria for corporate purchase. But I digress.

Translation: Fuck everyone else I wanted money even though ive got plenty. Even money from the people fucking over the people I claim to be there to support.

Expanded rest API, an MCP, and the webhook options and integrations are significantly expanded.

AI/LLM coding assistance is permitted but the author must understand/review the patch and take responsibility – including that the contribution is LGPLv2.1+ compatible. The NetworkManager policy also will not allow AI assistance in communication for the upstreaming/review of said patches.

Actually given that, if you have a weekly with AI as part of it, tagging [AIT] will allow people to filter it out.

Its pretty ancillary to the newsletter itself so its not really required, but just to mention… if it were tagged, any low effort comments like “slop” or similar would then be removed. I don’t really see that on your posts in general though, so more a thought for later should it become a problem.

Its not really accurate.

There are 3 sites, the primary r&d all happens in Cupertino, but the second largest r&d is out of Herzliya, Israel, and the third largest is back in California at San Diego.

The architecture is licensed from ARM, so UK there, and production is by TSMC, mostly Taiwain and expanding into Arizona.

As I understand it, the facility in Israel is responsible for architecture design related to components like camera sensor architecture, WiFi, etc. Apple bought Israeli companies to do this.

Please tag your post ( [CBH] or [AIP] ) and if AI was used, add the disclosure

See rules 7&8 and message with any questions

Thanks!

All the way down the pants then up the back

I think you’re confused about the AI involvement here.

AI was used to check for cheating in a remote exam. The percentages that passed were several times more than in previous years, while 2% got tossed for “unspecified conduct issues”.

Assuming those 2% were actually cheating and not the AI making a mistake is the issue.

These were multiple choice exams. There was no ability to copy/paste from an LLM. Could they have used another computer/monitor to look things up? Absolutely, but hardly relevant to the issue.

Loki was watched the most out of all the shows, and the record for highest viewers on Disney+.

I agree they could retcon, but it was a really well received/watched show.

Or important supplies, like diapers, baby formula, etc.

I’m not responding the post. I’m responding specifically to your comment (where you did not give context but made a definitive statement). That’s on you.

Which is part of a thread with context.

OP IS USING A GOOGLE ACCOUNT WITH GOOGLES BIOMETRICS BEING SUGGESTED TO THEM.

The police will bypass you to get that data and Google will likely give it to them without a subpoena.

Still requires way more than making you look toward a screen or holding your finger onto part of one.

Also takes a lot more time than grabbing you and forcing it.

Also requires google to provide it without a subpoena.

You really think thats somehow easier than biometrics for them?

See the OP.

It does not.

I really dont understand how you can come to that conclusion that for “biometrics make it less secure given what we know is protected and what is not”.

You keep saying that word but I don’t think you know what it means.

Quite confidently, I do. And its clearer and clearer that you just aren’t thinking this through.

If you had said using biometrics is like using a TSA approved luggage lock I might be inclined to agree with you. But what you said was that "you can be compelled to give up biometrics to unlock your device) and what I said was, a weak password is not better.

And again, no password is in no way better than a weak password.

What are you having trouble with here?

You can continue to argue but you seem to keep missing context here.

Clearly, thats not an issue for me. You seem confused about the most basic part of this.

A weak password is what most people use. That’s why there’s a top 1000 passwords in use news article every couple of years.

Do you really think the idiots stopping you on a sidewalk or at an airport or in your car are aware for the most common passwords? Or that being brought to a police station and put under a full investigation is the only way this can happen?

Your birthday or anniversary is not better than biometrics. Say whatever else you want here.

See previous comment. In every way, shape, and form it requires more time, effort, and knowledge than immediately forcing you to unlock your phone by showing it at your face or restraining you and grabbing your finger.

In what possible way could it not?

You haven’t actually proven a point but I’m over it.

Repeatedly. I’d recommend reading again, because you are missing the incredibly obvious and I don’t understand how you could be missing any of it.

It has every single thing to do with the bearing of this conversation

See the OP.

It does not.

If the police tried to use biometrics to search my device today they would find exactly nothing.

Entirely separate from weak password vs no password (biometrics).

On the average person’s phone they likely wouldn’t find much that’s actionable in a legal sense.

Bad take.

Laws are poorly written, sometimes intentionally, to make them more vague.

I guarantee you can get arrested for something if they really want to.

That is who biometrics are for.

People who don’t want to use a password, and it will functionally behave like you don’t have any sort of restriction on your data. Yes. Agreed. Biometrics provide absolutely zero protection, as said.

For anyone else who has a threat profile that should require them to be worried about police intervention or investigation of any kind

In reality, everyone, see above.

there’s either a burner phone or a hardened OS

Separate from and entirely irrelevant to a discussion about biometrics and passwords.

So let’s think about what I am arguing here.

I have been. I’m not sure that you have, and I don’t mean that to sound like a dick, I’m saying I think you are severely underestimating the issue.

But that doesn’t mean they have a good password either.

Biometrics provide functionally zero password. That’d be the context here. A weak password is better than no password. A strong password is better than no password.

As biometrics means functionally no password, any password is superior.

You are arguing that even a weak password is better than biometrics

Yes, because it means no password is required at all. Even a weak password is better than no password.

but that is in a singular instance where you are detained by or investigated by the police

The context of this entire discussion. Yes.

and in that even you probably have a threat profile

Everyone. See above.

would require more than just a password lock for your devices. Especially if you’re using a weak password.

As in not biometrics, because biometrics are the same as no password. Yes.

Telemetry is one reason.

Not having to worry about the service shutting down (Google Reader) is another.

Synced read status is a common one as well.

You may also use it in combination with another service to create RSS feeds for sites that dont have one.

Honestly having it not just get killed like Google Reader is a big chunk of the userbase.
