Re: "sophisticated"

... by state backed attackers.

Never forget that bit or you'll look like a chump.

/sarcasm

You forgot something, buddy!

Re: When will we see the stats?

Bearing in mind that we are talking about users who are smart enough to disable telemetry, NEVER!

Re: It's not a she.

May Ubuntu rust in peace and leave us alone.

I thought the F-35 was a single seater.

Re: ICC confidentiality

I wonder if any of the ICC mails and data was NOT the subject of an interception warrant to Microsoft.

There, much better, don't you think?

Re: Just LLMs doin' LLM things

The price will stay the same, don't hold your breath. They saw we are willing to pay inflated prices so they won't back down.

Remember: as high as the market can bear plus 10%.

Re: Put Windows in jail?

Install all available updates ASAP, all the time every time, to try to keep the swiss-cheese string net bag of Windows as secure as it can be

And when every other update crashes the system, don't come and tell me. Blame Microsoft.

Every freaking Windows update should be postponed for at least 30 days until the patch that patches the patched update is declared somewhat working by the enraged users.

I've bought a Starlink mini for my ham radio POTA and SOTA. Works flawlessly. So go Starlink!

Musk? Fuck him!

If you would be forced to use Office or whatever they call it today, you wouldn't ask for evidence.

Re: Bargaining chip (no pun)

I'm sorry, but I had the impression USA never fought any wars since WW2. Sure, they invaded some countries, liberated others, policed some regions of the globe and such, but war? No sir!

On the other hand PRC had been at war with ... erm, ...., give me a minute, a know this one..., erm...

Re: "Which of your bêtes noires did we miss?"

That's by design. Usually they are more generous, giving you warranty + 3 months.

Re: Power without responsibility

Emily??? Is that you?

Re: Microsoft is speed running towards Orwell

Your home computer? Like your smart(phone,tv,car,gadget), you're just allowed to pay for and use it. It' not yours anymore.

On the other hand there's Linux.

Re: Snap

OK, container. Are you happy now?

'Enable' - It's ON by default so it's too late for you to turn it off, we've already slurped everything.

'Disabled' - You think it's not enabled but, according to our T&C, it's still slurping the basic info we need to sell.

There's no other option.

Re: In other words

Unfortunately, there's a thin line between vision and hallucination

So now it's settled. Musk is an AI driven robot. I always thought there's something funny with his looks but now...

What quality control?

Re: Home Office targets small boat crossings

From your link I understand the boats are passed on to their buddies (contractors) to do whatever they want with them. The boats are disposed of by Border Force’s approved contractors and, where appropriate, any suitable materials are recycled.

But, as I'm not a native English speaker, maybe I can't parse that sentence.

Re: Someone with appropraite skills manages to use 'AI' in useful way !!!

I'm sorry, but for 1984 to happend Idiocracy has to be completed. I'd say 10 years top and we're there.

Oh, I don't know. I think Tesla will get there, eventually. Just at about the same time AI will transform the "I" from "Idiot" to "Intelligence".

Re: W I wish eBay would get rid of the option of AI generated descriptions

Eyeball Mark I, the new addition to ublock, does a pretty decent job.

Rhodia. It's the company that manufactured my trusted paper notepad where I keep all my passwords.

<joke>

And, of course, 3M. If everybody and his dog trusts sticky bits of paper taped to the monitor/under keyboard for their passwords, they must be onto something, right?

</joke>

It depends on whether Copilot is Windows or Unix based. No human would produce such crap code.

I was not against ECDL per se. I was just pointing out the fact that it's centered about doing things in a Microsoft only environment and won't even consider there are other type of OSes.

They would better rename it to Microsoft CDL (European) or Business CDL and be done with it.

Re: Duh!

Sorry, my bad. Musk, Zuck, same shit different name.

Re: Killer app?

No, he's right. Copilot killed Notepad.

Re: Contrary to my previous conclusion…

Idiocracy is the movie you're looking for.

Re: Suggestions?

Pull the plug?

Re: And

Only during live fire exercises.

Re: Block X

Yes.

Re: Why Do People Still Use X - Twitter ???

Because only on twitter you get free nudies, duh!!!

Re: And yet at the same time

That only 'hides' the app from the user. Without root you can't really uninstall any app.
