Really, because I have a Bosch and I had to install the app and then use HACS to install an integration which goes through their cloud.
I don’t use that for anything more than alerts but it’s annoying it has zero local control. This is a perfect use case for Zigbee or Z-Wave and if I’m paying a premium I don’t get why I wouldn’t get premium features.
Also some features are app only (special dry modes etc) so if I want the functionality I paid for I have to be signed up for their cloud.
Newer Bosch lock SOME features behind their app. There are literally no buttons for it, you HAVE to have a smartphone and internet and you HAVE to use their app to use the features.
EDIT: clarified that it’s only some features
McDonald’s also had a ”Third Pounder” and it had the same issue
This has never happened to me on a systemd server before. Methinks you left out some details
While I agree that the author’s invoking of this particular incident in which TeleMessage created an insecure side channel for message transmission and storage which undermined Signal’s E2EE security doesn’t really provide proof to their claim, they’re not wrong about a master-key encryption system being an absolutely horrific idea.
That’s good because they can’t do math anyway
Goood thing there is no AGI
I don’t have the article but basically when the rich aren’t taxed proportionally, their wealth and therefore power grows, while the lower classes get squeezed harder as they must give up a greater portion of their wealth in order to fund the obligations toward said infrastructure that keeps the whole machine running.
When used inappropriately, they are one piece of the larger system that funnels all the wealth upwards at the expense of everyone and everything else.
Oh now I understand - the rich sold their soles for their fortunes! It all makes sense now.
It doesn’t work without 200 hours of un-fucking
Really then why are they cramming AI into every app and every device and replacing jobs with it and claiming they’re saving so much time and money and they’re the best now the hardest working most efficient company and this is the future and they have a director of AI vision that’s right a director of AI vision a true visionary to lead us into the promised land where we will make money automatically please bro just let this be the automatic money cheat oh god I’m about to
It’s annoying that every middle manager is trying to become the hero of their company by pushing it inappropriately into every single field at the expense of productivity and jobs, while simultaneously the largest most powerful companies are slinging their SaaS solutions built on stolen data which are destroying communities of both the physical and hobby varieties and consuming more natural resources than all the fucking crypto scams of the last like 10 years
But yeah it’s neat I guess
In addition to what everyone else has said, they’re doing all this not-useful work replacing humans with unrealistic hype, but to do it they’re using up SO MUCH natural resources it’s astonishing.
They have caused chip shortages. They are extracting all the natural water from aquifers in an area for cooling and then dumping it because it’s no longer potable. Microsoft and Google are talking about building nuclear power plants dedicated JUST to the LLMs.
They are doing this all for snake oil as others have pointed out. It’s destroying the world socially, economically, and physically. And not in a “oh cars disrupted buggy whips” kind of way; in a “the atmosphere is no longer breathable” kind of way.
No, and to make that work using the current structures we use for creating AI models we’d probably need all the collective computing power on earth at once.
Therefore the laptop is the disk controller and if you gracefully shut down the OS it will take care of all the housekeeping tasks to prepare a disk for safe shutdown (flush cache to disk, park heads on spinning rust, etc) and then it will be safe to turn off the PSU.
Found it in my settings, not sure how I’ve missed it. Been a Bitwarden user since the first LastPass hack.
We aren’t talking about the majority of homophobes; we’re talking about homophobic lawmakers who push for anti-gay legislation - already performative of “banning” or “being tough on” their other “sins” like drugs or crime, and they keep getting caught doing drugs and gay things.
Statistically there are far fewer politicians than LGBTQA folks. So when some sociopath rises to power because they figured out they should be “tough” on all the things people hurt them for, all the things people appear to dislike, you’re not gonna get people with empathy who speak about a brighter inclusive future, you’re gonna get bullshit artists who draw on their own pain and twist it into a performance of what, in their mind, people seem to want. They prey on the prejudices of the masses.
And it works. The anti-drug politicians get caught with coke and speed. The anti-sex worker politicians get caught with prostitutes. The “save the children” freaks get caught with underage kids. The “fiscally responsible” get caught insider trading and money laundering. And the homophobes get caught with men.
Because the biggest flaw of democracy is to allow a person to deflect all the hatred they receive back out into the world and if they can perform it charismatically enough, they can use it to rise to power. Hell look at Trump, that’s how his superpower works. He can shit talk anything, and it fucking works on just enough people that it’s always been worth it for him to do it.
So if you are someone who sees the “anti-LGBTQA politicians are always closeted!” (or, are someone who is using/making jokes with it!) and it upsets you - make sure you understand that it’s not a comment on LGBTQA folks as a whole, it’s a remark about how society who’s majority is empathetic (normal humans) yet prejudiced (unfortunately currently also normal humans) will elect people who speak from their pain, and those abused by it will exploit their suffering to give that crowd exactly what they want.
The sociopath cornered into being closeted their whole life will scream from the rooftops about banning homosexuality, because not only did people stop hurting them but now have rewarded them greatly.
So no, the majority of homophobes are not closeted. But I’m willing to believe that doesn’t hold up in Washington.
I was just going to say synthesizer but if we’re being specific the TB-303 is the king, especially with some real dirty overdrive
Wow weird Bibi’s been saying they’re six months away since….1995
