Technically? No. The problem is that the existing laws legally speaking all apply to the driver, and tickets likewise are all issued to the driver, which doesn’t actually exist in this case. Cops were writing tickets and the company was paying them, but legally speaking it was a grey area and waymo could have disputed the tickets and there’s a decent chance they would have won. This legislation removes the ambiguity.
Both Apple and Linux are winning big with the double wamy of Win 11 being complete garbage and Win 10 being murdered.
I await the inevitable Republican backed federal law that preempts state laws and makes it legal except under a very narrow case that somehow would be beneficial to consumers.
Kill it from the other direction. Make it illegal to algorithmically adjust a users experience to prioritize interaction regardless of whether that’s positive or negative. Ultimately that’s the problem with places like Facebook, they weigh an angry rant the same as a positive one, higher even in a lot of cases. Things that make people angry generate a lot more interaction than positive things so it drowns people in hate and fear. If you treat any interaction as a positive signal things just devolve.
It’s not public demand, it’s a very vocal lobbying group. One that’s funded by Facebook. Ultimately though it’s all just an excuse, the goal is to collect the data and has nothing at all to do with any of the things they claim it does.
It’s the dot com bubble all over again. Going to end the same way that one did as well, most of these companies are going to go bankrupt, a few will just eat the massive loss, and an even tinier handful will actually come out ahead. I’m betting the event that’s going to finally pop the bubble is when OpenAI is forced to file for bankruptcy in another year or so despite its ridiculous stock valuation.
Hmm, considering how cheap these are to make (relatively speaking) could it make a good decoy? Basically set a bunch of these up in random places away from anything important with remote on switches and when missiles start flying power them up one at a time. They’re more expensive than the anti-missile drones (those are supposedly about $1000 a piece) but they might be more effective in their own way.
I did that with Windows 10. I still have that partition but I haven’t booted it in years. I’ll probably overwrite it with something more useful one of these days.
You can pretty much always assume that’s the case with the US legal system. The lawyers always win, sometimes their clients do as well but that’s a lot rarer.
It was good for its time, but we need to be careful not to confuse that as an absolute statement rather than a relative one. By modern standards VHS is garbage with many significant problems, it’s just at its time everything else was worse. There were certainly many aspects of VHS that were good some even revolutionary, but it also had many significant flaws.
The biggest problem with DVD in the early days was just price. Early DVD players were ridiculously expensive compared to VHS, and the DVDs themselves were also significantly more expensive than VHS tapes. That of course changed over time, as DVD adoption drove the unit prices down across the board. By the time Bluray came around and began to drive out DVD the players had gotten so cheap you could sometimes find them for as little as $25, and DVD movies would regularly show up in discount bins for $5 to $10.
Unfortunately corporations are addicted to the micromanaging control that Active Directory gives to them. They don’t give a single flying fuck about the actual experience of using the OS, that’s a problem for the plebians, they care that AD let’s them do things like lock everyone’s background to a corporate approved image or force everyone to use Edge as their browser while disabling the password saving feature.
Basically the OS is irrelevant, it’s all about Active Directory.
There’s dozens of us. Works great on mobile with NoScript, although the source code snippets don’t load. Since the article describes what they do anyway it’s still readable without them, and the excellent performance is worth leaving JS blocked.
Interesting. I also had mine come through but it had a different message:
Your Bitwarden Families subscription renews in 15 days. The price is updating to $3.99/month, billed annually.
Questions? Contact support@bitwarden.com
It seems there’s a few variants of the message depending on which product you have and not all of them mention the annual price.
Unfortunately it’s not just Lemmy. Corporations are obsessed with LLMs as are a lot of the people working for them. I daily get messages and meetings about LLMs in one way or another and it drives me nuts because it keeps interrupting actual work. In the span of like two months it went from something that was mentioned maybe once in the last year to be 90% of what everyone is talking about.
Internet of Things is a terrible no good idea, but Intranet of Things has some potential. Entirely local mesh networks like Zigbee and Z-wave solve most of your problems, doubly so if you properly confine their controllers into their own non Internet routable subnets.
It’s honestly my biggest complaint with the Matter standard, it has Internet bridging baked into the design while the prior standards made that completely optional.
Except for all the time of the maintainers that’s being wasted. Time that is very finite and that for many of these people is a thankless unpaid job that they’re donating their nights and weekends towards doing.
When a crypto wallet is lost all “money” in it is irrevocably lost with no way for anyone to ever retrieve it.
That said it would be hilarious if one of these bots hallucinated a wallet address so everyone trying to donate to it just sends their money into a black hole forever.
The tricky part here is that many of these reviews aren’t about how they feel about the game but rather how they feel about the developer or publisher, often based on wildly inaccurate speculation. Valve has a particularly tight rope to walk on this one because it does seem problematic to dogpile some game because of a perceived opinion that has nothing to do with the actual game itself.
One possible solution would be to add a category system to reviews that let’s reviewers correctly categorize their reviews, purchasers exclude categories they don’t care about, and Valve only removes miscategorized reviews. Categories could be something like “game contents”, “game bugs/technical issues”, “drm”, or “publisher/developer opinions”. Maybe make an entry form on the review itself for each category and you can just leave any category you don’t care about blank in your review.
This might also help solve one of the more long standing problems with Steam reviews which is that reviews of early buggy builds often linger long after those bugs have been fixed and can provide a somewhat inaccurate impression of the current state of the game.
The fines should go towards paying for road repair and upkeep as well as public transit. Better and well maintained roads will cut down on accidents and better public transit would cut down on the number of cars in the road which is a win for everyone.
