i think they need to use smaller words for themself because that is not the correct way to use that one

i think they’re 2 different, but equally important things to protect against

shit companies using your information is almost guaranteed so you want to protect against that, but FDE does nothing for that

but losing your laptop with an unprotected disk can be catastrophic for your life… your entire browser session (so probably your email, and therefor password resets and confirmations), any cloud (or self hosted storage with saved credentials) storage that you have… idk about you, but the contents of my disk are plenty to steal my identity even without needing to social engineer, and with my email and other bits of info that’s plenty to social engineer probably anything up to and including a passport

training an LLM on chats might make you feel dirty, but an unencrypted disk can ruin your life for years and cause problems potentially forever

the camera angle for the photo is taken from pretty low down… the cameras for the walking rigs for street view style cameras are all mounted on backpacks, above the persons head

i’m not sure, but i think that could account for the difference in visibility of shrubbery and outcropping

*edit: although that doesn’t have the right kind of footpath

*edit2: actually looking at the first pic again that footpath isn’t bricks; that’s the shadow from the railing; it’s just concrete

realistically having a person onboard makes little difference at all to passengers (you regain a tiny bit of space at the front and end of each carriage segment where the driver usually sits - that’s about it). the argument is that they can run trains more frequently because the ongoing cost is lower so the only cost is an investment in rolling stock - generally seen as more viable because it’s an asset rather than just a cost

best addition of ML (i wouldn’t call it AI because that’s both tainted and not what it is) has been self checkout when you put fresh fruit/veg on the scales and tap the button, the selection window has a list of ~3 probable items based on computer vision… it doesn’t automatically choose for me, there are a few likely options, i can still select based on alphabetical if it’s not there, and it’s a tab at the start of the alphabet on the screen so i can go back to it… it’s just helpful, and doesn’t remove anything

afaik our anti venom program is so good we pretty much supply the entire world with anti venom

Unless you live in Australia then I’m pretty sure they’re hunting you.

can confirm. am hiding in the wardrobe right now. send help

corpos aren’t who you’re protecting against with encrypted drives… they’re not going to gain access to anything via bypassing your OS: they get everything via software you’ve installed or things like tracking

the main thing you’re protecting against with encryption is theft (or if you think you’re being physically targeted, it also stops them from modifying your system… eg replacing your kernel or a binary that gives them access somehow)

local storage isolation is the less interesting part, because that’s achieved much more cleanly with containers… profiles allow a kinda separate instance of your browser with different browser settings, addons, addon configuration, bookmarks, etc

i guess you’d need to expose both options: the ability to sync some profiles to some accounts and others to another… for example, i probably wouldn’t want my personal profile to sync to my work devices but id want my work profiles to sync between each other and be accessible from some of my home devices

totally; and i think that’s very fair for the large majority of use-cases… most people don’t need different browser settings: they just need different local storage

containers are for general browsing; profiles are for the whole browser

profiles allow you to have different addons installed, different configurations between addons in different profiles, different browser settings (eg a SOCKS proxy for work profile, or a different default search engine, default fonts, etc… or for technical users you can have a profile with experimental settings turned on)

also different addons, and different configuration for addons etc

profiles also allow different addons and addon configurations, default fonts, browser config, etc… it’s kinda like having a whole other user account or a whole other copy of the browser, rather than just cookie and storage isolation

ah yup that’s all very true!

i’m not sure that it could exist at most other levels… perhaps tone and name calling, but im not sure that the contradiction level is a fallacy: there’s no active intent there (not that active intent is required; i’m just not sure of the words right now)

like you’re stating the opposite case but that’s not intending to mislead exactly, and simply doing so isn’t harmful to the dialogue - it’s just not super helpful

i think it’s an action rather than a tactic, if that makes sense?

i’d say fallacies in general are the same kinda thing as as hominem attacks… things that muddy the waters without even trying to address the point

which they handled about as well as you can: prompt and clear notification without trying to pass the buck

the potential of a data breach is just a fact of life with any SAAS product - bugs happen… and it’s exactly the SAAS part of the product that makes the invites/login/aggregation of servers so smooth

there are some admin endpoints that are authenticated using any local IP, but the method they use allows spoofing the IP so those endpoints become accessible essentially without authentication

there were some other issues to do with unauthenticated enumeration and playback of content i believe too
