Ditto.

But I manage a team of embedded developers. On a specialised commercially restricted embedded platform.

AI does not know a thing about our tech. The stuff it does know is either a violation of the vendors contractual covenants or made up bullshit. And Our vendor’s documentation is supplemented by a cumulative decades of knowledge.

Yet still “you gotta use AI”.

While true; do curl http://copilot/?query=what+is+the+time; sleep 10; done

Bet the AI can’t see through this.

Taking a line from our Australian friends

fuck off, we’re full (of rich cunts)

Not quite the same. But my NAS does files. That’s it.

Everything else is hosted elsewhere.

What features do dishwashers have?

Literally every one I’ve used has had racks, two to three spiny water sprayers, a water intake, and a detergent basket.

I’m not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, the “modes” of a dishwasher are dumb as shit. No I don’t want reduced water flow, reduced temperatures, and a worse outcome requiring manual intervention.

But what is there to break? Suck water in, pump it out, spray it at dishes.

maybe there’s the occasional weird model, like Samsungs wall sprayer. But you can’t buy them any more.

This is the sort of thing machine learning algorithms are pretty good at at.

Coupled with however many millions of interactions a day, you would have no problem correlating changes to your algorithm against increases in revenue.

But. It’s often not that impressive. Humans are equally good at noticing patterns.

All it takes is for one person at FB to see their wife or daughter delete a post, ask them “why did you delete that post” and take away from the response of “It made me look fat” to go “there’s a new targeted ad that’ll get me a bonus”.

In a similar vein, 80% of your banks anti-fraud systems isn’t deep learning models that detect fraudulent behaviour. Instead it’s “if the user is based in Russia, add 80 points, and if the account is at a branch in 10km of Heinersdorf Berlin, add another 50…. We’re pretty sure a Russian scammer goes on holiday every 6 months and opens a bunch of accounts there, we just don’t know which ones”.

Why a second? Your first couldn’t have been any more than 5 years old.

$5 says this is $30 mil doesn’t cover data collection, because they already have the data.

It’s $30mil to expose the data they already have, in a manner suitable for lower level agency workers.

Becomes the death jingle when you follow through.

This isn’t foolproof.

The same car might be manufactured in multiple factories for multiple markets, to multiple levels of certification.

Your “new car” in one country, could be the previous years European model if the euro regs have changed.

This is the reason I haven’t given it a chance.

Not that I’m unwilling, but with no common hardware, I’m reluctant to go out and buy something.

I can go buy a pinephone for postmarket, but won’t work for sailfish. I can get an Xperia for sailfish, but I’m out of luck for postmarket.

Not to mention, I’m reluctant to drop a chunk of cash on aged hardware, whose successor doesn’t look to be as well supported.

VW can’t use the factories they have.

But none of that is going to stop them from detaining you until you give them the pin.

US citizens might have it a little easier. But foreigners are certainly going to regret their choices if anyone ‘close’ to the border has an issue with them.

Ah silly us.

We spent a decade hating on IE, it’s slowness, poor support for any standards, plugins that fuck your shit up, etc.

But it was obviously the best because it had that huge market share.

I don’t believe Mozilla doesn’t have the best interests of the browser at heart, I believe that they do think their browser is the their number one product.

But that’s the problem. It’s free software, going up against a juggernaut whose browser is just another side project to drive engagement with their core product.

A juggernaut who just so happens to be one of Mozilla’s primary source of income. All it will take is a little bit of legislation somewhere in the world to make that deal less attractive and Mozilla could be dead in the water. And it will take all of those forks with it, paving the way for Google to become the true web Hegemony.

Mozilla needs to diversify to ensure they can continue to provide stewardship to the browser.

But trying to make money in 2025 just seems to summon the enshittification brigade.

Free software is not free. Someone has to make it.

One of my devices uses three keys because out of the two local servers I have, they seem to go down every other month, so I need a failover.
