The mainstream consoles nowadays basically are locked-down computers anyway, so makes sense that people are skipping the live-services middleman and going straight to PC

Unless you care about exclusives, then PCs are the better all-rounder IMO, and don’t need a yearly payment on top of your internet bill

Whelp, we’re one step ever closer to terminators. Just gotta let Boston Dynamics cook now

Exactly. The big problem with LLMs is that they’re so good at mimicking understanding that people forget that they don’t actually have understanding of anything beyond language itself.

The thing they excel at, and should be used for, is exactly what you say - a natural language interface between humans and software.

Like in your example, an LLM doesn’t know what a cat is, but it knows what words describe a cat based on training data - and for a search engine, that’s all you need.

Damn, you definitely didn’t catch their pretty side

Exactly. If they’d gone with the carrot approach rather than the stick, I bet way more people would’ve just gone with it for way less fuss

Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.

And yet they’ll be scratching their heads trying to figure out why more people are returning to piracy.

True. While it’s definitely more secure than their other 2FA offering (storing them with your passwords), it’s still the same developers making both - so it still feels like putting all my eggs in one basket.

For IOS I can see this as a valid option, because unless you are willing to trust Microsoft, Google, or Authy with your 2FA, which I personally don’t think one should, then you haven’t got too many options.

But on Android there are plenty others that are known to be reliable, Aegis for example, so the value proposition is lessened for me at least.

Went to check - had personalised Ads off on every account I have already, so I guess I won’t be seeing what Google’s got on me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cool idea for anyone who doesn’t already use Bitwarden for their passwords, but I would be awfully sceptical of having my passwords and 2FA codes stored on the same service - only one breach required to royally screw me up

Depends - I currently use Heliboard which doesn’t seem to have any problems as long as I stick to dictionary words.

Samsung’s keyboard sucks though - not only would it miss obvious typos, if you made the same typo often enough, it’d start learning the “word” and autocorrecting the actual bloody spelling to the typo!
(I had a habit of swaping the i and e in their, so of course Samsung decided “thier” was what I clearly meant to type)

From what I see on the article, it looks like it mostly applies to manufacturer set passwords - though it does look like the devices are now required to prompt the user if they try to set a weak or common password (though I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t prompted)

I wonder how many of those people were a legitimate threat to the police officers’ safety such that literally no other method of restraint was possible?

Injecting someone with a high, potentially lethal dose of sedatives seems like a tool that should be used sparingly with up most care, yet these deaths prove they’re doing no such thing.

Exactly - the poor and working class are constantly told they need to evolve to keep up, why shouldn’t that apply to rich people too?

It’s great that the FCC can get back to doing it’s job properly now that its chair isn’t an industry plant

It’s gross, but also inevitable. If there’s an untapped niche to make money from, somebody’s going to try it – plus if they want to waste their money on generating accounts only to have them be banned, then so be it.

Makes me kinda thankful that this community is smaller and less likely to be targeted by this sort of crap.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.

Damn that’s both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I’m praying to Gods I don’t even believe in

I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen’t Google a lot of money.
