As Anthropic argued, it now “faces hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months” based on a class certification rushed at “warp speed” that involves “up to seven million potential claimants, whose works span a century of publishing history,” each possibly triggering a $150,000 fine.

So you knew what stealing the copyrighted works could result in, and your defense is that you stole too much? That’s not how that works.

Pebble is coming back.

I’d argue the entire C-suite should be legally responsible for anything the company does.

Nearly all of the vehicles have 4G/5G connectivity via AT&T. This isn’t a dial up connection. They can transmit whatever the fuck they want.

That’s just the pretext they give to justify it. The real reason is surveillance. Now they have a way to confidently tie your accounts to your individual identity. And most of these solutions use third parties which will then sell that data as well, so now anyone can tie your account to you without you ever knowing.

Even if the government is barred from surveilling citizens in these ways, third parties aren’t, and the government can just buy that information, no warrant needed anymore.

And these laws never stop at porn, it’s drugs, LGBTQ information, etc. and they can always easily add additional things later with little fanfare.

Like everything else now, they no longer check any of that directly. It’s all handled via Play Integrity API. If the device fails the Play Integrity check it will fail.

That’s what I was thinking, but reading the article it’s apparently not related to sending messages. It’s simpler.

Google blocks RCS on rooted devices. And at the moment they don’t tell the user that at all, it just fails to work. So actively the worst way to handle it.

Don’t discount the PR from Exelon being complete dogshit. Actively lying to the public instead of actually explaining what was going on and when getting caught by the public and called out by the media trying to double down.

It screwed the entire industry. It proved to the public that they couldn’t trust a company to tell them the truth when the issue wasn’t really bad. There’s no way they’d tell the truth when things were actually bad.

It destroyed the entire industry’s credibility in just a few days.

The worst part of that is The Mike Island wasn’t so much a nuclear disaster, it was a PR and communications disaster.

You know what else is efficient? Actual security instead of the theater they put travelers through currently.

Oh I wouldn’t be surprised at all, most businesses are pretty small. I would be surprised if a Bank was that irresponsible, although not very surprised.

Spoofing a MAC is easy but it still requires knowing both what an existing valid address is, and ensuring that it’s not already connected to the network. It’s only operational overhead when a new device is onboarded, after that the impact is minimal.

A policy that requires sending a tech is fine, but if you have hundreds or thousands of individual locations then you aren’t going to have a tech onsite at every one of them to quickly check and fix an issue, and you don’t really want to have to trust an end user to verify and/or make physical changes on site if you can avoid it.

Also our bank had some kind of port security so if it wasn’t a recognized MAC address, the port just switched off.

And serious company will have this as basic security. It’s a fundamental function even available on your consumer grade router at home. While it’s overkill for that use, it’s basic security for a company.

That’s why it’s not surprising at all that a bank didn’t bother to do that. Banks have some of the most egregious security issues.

Modern nuclear fission already solves this issue fairly adequately. We’ve already developed numerous ways to minimize and use nuclear waste, including reusing it in various other forms and even reactor designs. The actual amount of waste that doesn’t have an alternate use is pretty small. We just haven’t really attempted it. Most currently operating nuclear plants date back to designs from the 60s and 70s.

Not to mention things like modern Advanced Geothermal systems. Some of those designs even involve reusing existing old oil drill sites, and the same workers because it’s the same type of drilling. Don’t even need large amounts of retraining. A major advantage of this is it’s also effectively limitless since you’re pulling heat out of the ground that’s generated from the sheer weight of the Earth above it.

Both of these technologies also have small ground footprints compared to their power output, especially compared to solar and wind farms.

Maybe not, but I’m gonna bet most aren’t taking the time or effort just to make a separate account for their child. Or even if they did, that the child is checking to make sure they use that account and not their parents. There’s going to be a lot of overlap.

You do realize that there are a ton of adult fans for kids shows and games right? How quickly the bronies are forgotten with everything happening in the world.

That assumes they didn’t fight and lose this time.

The editorialized title makes it sound like they made a decision and it wasn’t because of a court order.

Actual article title: “Cloudflare cracks down on UK piracy – and VPN users are getting caught in the crossfire”

Not much better, but it is better than the OP’s title.

Likewise, I can prevent anything from even entering my network that I don’t want on it.
