Make that 2 fighter jets downed and a blackhawk critically damaged

I find myself wondering just how complicated TVS could actually be before it’s no longer possible to hijack the display signal that’s fed to the display

Unlike with cars, TVS seem simple enough that a sufficiently motivated novice could modify a cheap TV to circumvent these bullshit features. If they ever started requiring internet connections to start or use these, i think enough people would be bothered by it that there would probably be a secondary market of modified hardware

As with most enshitifications, the question will ultimately be one of complacency of the average consumer.

I dont see how the second cert that goes to the site is useful if it isnt still associated with the first, but I also wouldnt trust the state to abide by an untraceable standard to begin with because identifying individuals by their accounts is in their interest.

I get where the enthusiasm for cryptography is coming from, but I think it’s misplaced.

A state issuing a cert file has to be able to verify that it goes to the intended person. The state would have to know the ID of the person they’re issuing it to, otherwise it wouldn’t function as intended. Similar to blockchain wallets - they are anonymous all the way up to the point of fiat exchange, where most state actors can still end up ID’ing wallet owners.

Even if you try obscuring that information via encryption, it still gets signed by a ‘trusted’ authority at the end of the chain.

Even in theory this is a shit idea.

The problem is that it’s stored outside of your control and accessible without your consent. This system addresses those issues.

Sorry, I just don’t agree with this, either. It isn’t just that it’s a third party, it’s that verification necessarily ties your device to your personal identity at all. No matter how you store the actual identity data, there needs to be an identifier associated with every device/account. I’d be fine if the OS just asked for my age and didn’t verify it with my state-issued ID - but if there’s any cross-checking involved that’s a dealbreaker.

If there were any possibility that a state actor had interest in identifying my personal identity of this account, and there was a record that pointed to my name, SSN, or other unique personal identifiers, i’d be absolutely fucked. There are really good reasons not to want social media accounts tied to real, verifiable identities - even if you think social media should be limited to adults (i’m not on willing to concede this, for what it’s worth).

It doesn’t matter if the data is stored on your local device - if it’s being verified by a state authority at all, that’s a huge problem.

The problem isnt just that the third party can abuse their access to your information, it’s that it is digitally stored and certifiable at all

The most secure data providers in the world have all basically had data breaches by now - including the IRS and US government. There is no party that can guarantee data security, even if they themselves are benevolent.

And for what purpose are we willing to gut privacy online? So it’s marginally more difficult for minors to obtain porn?

GTFO. De-anonymization has always been the goal, not ‘protecting the children’.

Even if all cops weren’t bastards, DHS and ICE in Minneapolis outnumber them 5 to 1.

I’m surprised it took a week to see this reporting pop up.

Apparently ice has been targeting tribe elders, too

Pretty sure someone was able to pose as a PI and get paid access a while ago.

Darknet Diaries had an episode on it

Important to note that it isnt just ads. Any app on your phone with location permission can share it, including some OEM aps qnd bloatware depending on the phone.

If you dont want to be seen, dont take your phone. About the only reasonable way to be sure your data isnt being collected is to not create the data in the first place.

Stay safe out there.

I’m geeking out about this - time to get weirdly into origami

“They lied” implies intent to deceive.

I’m still not arguing against their disqualification, I’m saying people need to lay off the sauce - it’s not hard to imagine how this could have been accidental and not malicious.

We don’t need to torch an effigy every time a studio mentions AI in an interview.

Still, there’s a lot of room there for some grace. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to strip them of the award, but the level of outrage I’m seeing in this thread and elsewhere isn’t proportionate to the offense.

People really need to chill with this.

People keep saying the problem ‘wasnt that they used AI placeholder assets, it’s that they lied on the disclosure’, but boy does that still seem like a reach

When you have dozens of people working on a huge creative project, it would take an almost omniscient creative director to know where every asset in every scene came from with certainty. It isn’t hard to imagine a designer somewhere on the team sneaking an AI asset into a pre-release build and forgetting about it. The fact that it was later disclosed suggests that whoever was applying for the award wasn’t aware of that asset being used and then replaced at the time of submission.

I dont mind having some awards dedicated to genAI-free works, but people really need to stop getting their pitchforks out at every mention, otherwise they risk turning into a lynch mob. This doesnt sound like an intentional omission to me.

“Honey, all I need is $10,000 for a server and we’ll never pay for Spotify again”

Birthright isnt a loophole.

If you want to abolish billionaires, you dont need to deal in xenophobic scaremongering to do it; but if you want to abolish birthright, you gotta play all the notes of xenophobia. The billionaire flair is just the lib-spin.

The WSJ publishing this story should tell you everything you need to know about its intent

Edit: otherwise they would be writing about how billionaires are exploiting inheritance

It’s already a bi-partisan consensus that China shouldn’t have billionaires

Fortunately for them, they can’t do anything about the billionaire problem - so instead they’ll focus on the xenophobia

If anything could convince libs of supporting the end of birthright, it’s the threat of hundreds of chinese babies being born to US citizenship.

Not at all saying the guy didn’t deserve to get clapped, but not for non-payment of his mortgage.
