But height will always kill me.

NotMyOldRedditName , to Technology in Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

I got a great idea.

While we're sucking up every single file, let's also do daily, non incremental backups

We'll hit the free storage limit it no time and then we can start sending DIRE messages about how the users data won't be PROPERLY backed up anymore.

Then we can upsell them in an outrageously priced storage plan that won't even last a year of these daily backups so we can start the process over again.

I was having a conversation in another thread a few days ago about the legality of completely fictional AI child porn and how that may be a safer outlet for those individuals as it involves no harm.

It's legal in many countries, but also not legal in many countries.

In the USA, federal law says as long as its not obscene or has serious value its allowed, but really, good luck with those clauses. Then it says, it's also legal unless it's been transmitted by a common carrier, e.g mail, internet.

So, someone might be legally making their own CP so they don't need to cause any abuse, and then Windows without their permission, uploads it to OneDrive.

You know the person making fictional CP would be the one thrown in jail for transmitting it over a common carrier, but maybe we should throw Microsoft in jail for doing that without permission and fucking us all over, over and over and over again with all this bullshit

They're literally stealing your files. They're probably training their AI on anything uploaded to OneDrive. It's not like they even prompted you or gave you the ToS.

I imagine as they use these more and learn what works and doesn't, they'll be able to armor them better as well increasing their field capabilities

These definitely give off more terminator vibes than the aerial drones.

Have we heard anything on the cost of these yet?

NotMyOldRedditName , to Ukraine in Ukraine Fires First HIMARS on Russia´s Kursk Region, FSB Hit

Just thinking on that more, it's kinda insane how Ukraine had limitations on striking these staging areas right on the border in the first place.

Oh that's a lot more benefits, that's wonderful!

alligators are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.

Well that's a cool TIL

NotMyOldRedditName , to Ukraine in Ukraine Fires First HIMARS on Russia´s Kursk Region, FSB Hit

Article says they've been hitting staging areas inside Russia taking out people before they move in.

The outcome of that would they'd seemingly have to move the staging areas back further into Russia.

What kind of benefit would that end up having for Ukraine?

Seems like they'd get more notice before things started moving, and maybe be able to target them with missles due to more notice?

Anything else?

NotMyOldRedditName , to Technology in Apple Intelligence won't launch in EU in 2024 due to antitrust regulation, company says

It probably doesn't need to be an optional app if they're giving you the ability to use any model you want at the OS level integration.

When you're using the device for the first time show a screen and let them choose AI / provide their own local model.

I wonder how listing things alphabetical would go given apple would keep them near the top.

Schrodingers leaks

You know you had 5 leaks yesterday, but you don't know how many actual leaks you'll have until you turn it on and look again.

NotMyOldRedditName , to Technology in Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company

I never thought I'd have to ponder the question of whether it is an affair to be a sperm donor if you conceal it from your partner.

It's definitely not the right thing to do either way.

They might not have slept with him.

The last one to make the news rounds he was just a sperm donor. I think that was also at Neuralink.

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited ) to Technology in Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges

I still feel like the way he sold all that stock for Twitter on the open market wasn't in the best interest of the shareholders.

Why didn't he try to negotiate a sale with Blackrock or someone and give them a 25% discount or something and do a large block sale.

Pretty sure something like that is an option if done right. It still would have hurt the stock price, but the Twitter sale was pretty brutal with it going on for weeks.

Also when you own as much of a company like he does, and try to cash out, you cause the stock to plummet rapidly as you increase the available amount of shares. Basic supply and demand.

It was quite dramatic as he was selling shares to buy Twitter.

Whatever number gets thrown around as his wealth is just a paper number. It's a fraction of that if he sold it all.
