They’re not advocating violence, just reporting a fact. (A hammer is a tool, but also a murder weapon) But you do understand the power asymmetry of an unaccountable police force, right? And just how dangerous this is to civil society? There have been multiple accounts of excessive and incorrect deportations by ICE, with no visible effort to attempt to correct those problems. People are now using the meager tools we have left to try to enforce accountability, before there is only one last tool in the toolbox.

Can you prove that people are breaking the law by the mere collection and existence of this data?

How about those Flock ALPR cameras showing up everywhere? Can we be sure the collected data is being used in accordance with the law?

By default Bash will auto complete filenames (In fact, in 25 years, i can’t remember the time bash didn’t). Sometimes, there are autocomplete ‘helpers’ that try to be overly smart (ie, only autocompleting files that have the right extension, which can interfere when you are doing creative things with mis-named file). However, in Powershell, cmdlets declare a type for each of their parameters, which lets powershell autocomplete the right type of item, which can make it a bit more magical and reliable.

They just did this to me. How can I tell them they failed this test?

I have a bunch of ESP32’s that … I can update and replace the firmware on, if i reset it the right way with a usb cable. the web site doesn’t explain it any way how this is any worse than that…?

Playwright is still fully oss with no “closed” fork?

This is the first thing I have heard from her about what she’s working on since she had her “wings clipped”. Hope she is still doing good…

whats the specific model number?

Writer Cory Doctorow coined the neologism “enshittification” in November 2022, though he was not the first to describe and label the concept.[1][2] The American Dialect Society selected it as its 2023 Word of the Year.

Paige, no, no, no, no, no!

I wish I knew, but the ad industry LOVES this tech: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=smart+tv+ACR&t=ffab&ia=web Every other result is “How ACR is going to be awesome for advertisers/marketers”. the ones in between are “How to shut off ACR” :-/

No.

Smart TV’s run automatic content detection on all their inputs. You will also be nagged to put the device online relentlessly, and some models will not let you skip internet connectivity.

I see this said every time this comes up.

Are there any efforts starting or even attempting this? Or even taking an existing printer and replacing it’s main board?

Linux. (ducks)

You can lose your Google account in the blink of an eye with no recourse, no access to support or anything.

With local and my own backups, I can choose to put them at any location, cloud or local.

There is no implementation right now that enables you to own and manage your own passkey backups without Google it icloud.

Additionally, the attestation feature is one step away from banks and other sites mandating specific implementations, preventing people from using software tokens or OSS managers.

Passkeys is great, and I am eager to recommend it to everyone, but without those items addressed, it’s a trap door, and one bitflip away from very strong lock in.

You can extract the SLIC value from the ACPI table, and then pass it through to QEMU

It is my understanding that this can only be used to run the OEM license one one instance in a VM, on the specific hardware that is originally licensed. IE, you virtualize the license if the bootOS is Linux, but you can’t run 2 instances of the same windows license inside each other.
