It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

Idk about door dash, but my son was delivering through Uber and he got all the tips for his deliveries.

They do get the tips.

Oh, that’s a good way to get them to ring the bell. I tried making them ring the bell other ways, but they never do. Uber Eats has a feature where they need to get a code from you to prove they handed you the food. I had several drivers leave the food at the door and then text me, asking me for the code. Fuck off

Yes, and it’s trivial to retask with the AC97 HD Audio program in Windows, but I couldn’t find an equivalent program for Linux.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.

I do use Linux, and I’m usually glad about it, but I wasted an hour last night trying to figure out how to change my microphone port to a subwoofer port, and never did solve the problem. Linux is awesome, but sometimes basic stuff is ridiculously difficult or impossible.

Gosh dang it. I’m not ready for a whole new year. I was just getting used to this one.

I guess it depends on where the beach house is located. I stayed at a beach house in San Diego for a week once in my 20’s, and it was fucking amazing! That was one of the most fun weeks of my entire life. The short 2’ wall in-between the beach and the house kept all of the sand out, and there weren’t any seagulls. We sat on the porch drinking beer, BBQing, and inviting people who walked past to join us. It was paradise.

That’s too bad. Apparently their holo lens was really good. But pricing it at $4000 meant most people weren’t interested.

I have an LG OLED too. There’s a setting for recommended content, or something like that. I turned anything off that looked like it meant ads or tracking.

So they recognize that the owner of the product is trying to prevent them from collecting data, and actively try to circumvent the owner’s security measures? This shit should be illegal, and carry a huge fine. You paid for the device, and it’s connected to your network, which you control. I’m sick and tired of corporations thinking it’s totally okay to be straight-up spyware and adware. Some supposedly legitimate companies these days make old-school computer viruses look down right respectful.

My TV is connected to the Internet and doesn’t do this. There’s a setting to turn it off.

“Ad enabled”

They were hungry, just like everyone else during 99% of human history.

That’s a very pessimistic view on the capability of AI. It is already assisting in creating vaccines and other medicine. It can certainly help find the cure for cancer.

AI is used in porn? How?

If you’re a senior engineer, then you should have a team of juniors doing most of the coding. Your job is to architect, peer review, meet with stakeholders, etc… At least that has been my experience. Unless you are on one of those small teams with all senior engineers and then you have to do all of the above, and the coding too. I’ve had that experience as well.
