Nice; most people don’t make it to Siping! Very friendly area, although a bit cold at this time of year.

These days, not really, except that netcat has wider capabilities and so often triggers security alarms when used.

I used to send messages by hand over SMTP using a telnet client.

But telnet is just a bidirectional TCP connection. You can run any terminal emulation you want over it, and run it on any port you want.

The telnetd service on the other hand… that has no reason to still be internet-facing.

I think this may not be the best time for them to do that….

Obviously that one guy is unaware of the current easy $140k options on the table.

At what point can AI companies play the “too big to fail” card though, like the banks?

Bubble bursts, and the government uses our taxes to bail out the companies. Again.

Disney+ has removed all references to Dolby Vision from its European support pages – even the US support pages.

3D movies on Disney+ have also disappeared in several European countries, as these are presented in Dolby Vision (on Apple Vision Pro).

At this time, there is no timeline for when HDR10+, Dolby Vision and 3D will return to Disney+.

InterDigital holds several thousand patents related to radio and video technology and has previously pursued cases against Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung and others. The company has been described as a ‘patent troll’.

Today’s ReactOS is not the ReactOS of 25 years ago.

Or the tariffs.

That’s rich coming from Harper. I guess his vision of Canadian Nationalism includes remaining a sovereign nation for multinationals to plunder.

VSCodium would have the same Electron caching issues though, wouldn’t it?

There should never need to be a “kill switch” for a feature the developers have full control over.

Just make it opt-in. An AI kill switch makes me think that they’ve got a setting that will block all known AI interfaces and generated content, which is not what this does.

I’m truly curious what he thinks they absolve him of.

Because once he tells us that, we know one more thing he did.

Exactly. He was obviously dealing with Mossad; that’s not up for debate.

So you’re saying Maxwell’s father wasn’t dealing with the Russians?

His Mossad connections are common knowledge and have been for decades.

Ericsson was doing great until it got swallowed up by globalization.

The one-two punch of the US and China shuttered a lot of viable global infotech companies.

The main threat is straight out of The Matrix: energy consumption.

In a time where more and more parts of the world are having water and energy supply issues, we have AI server farms springing up that consume as much power as a small city… leaving humans with higher costs and less power available.

As for the rest, AI sucks at trades currently, and will only be replacing information worker functions in the near term. Of course, since suppliers compete for work, AI will be mostly an add-on, where the losers in the short term will be those who don’t add it on.

In the long term, those who are very focused in how it is leveraged will win, because you still need to train new humans, and that’s difficult to do if all the junior work is being handled by AI.

So in 50 years or so (if not sooner), we’ll see the full effects of this push to integrate AI at all costs, both on expertise and on the environment.

Minnesotans are Canadian Lite though. They share similar values and accents.

So it sounds like they’re doing something in AI integration at the hardware level for audio?

Q makes me think of “cue” - could they be providing live translated descriptive text tech?
