Depends on the specific system, but yes it often does

The funny thing is it’s easier to replace salespeople with AI than developers. They should be losing salespeople first!

You have probably not heard of the heckler’s veto

No they just have oppositional defiance disorder. Not recognizing that protecting every individual also means working against prejudiced hate means you’re going to fail every time.

Is it not censorship to allow violent assholes to scare minorities into silence?

It’s not a right to harass people, and you’re not entitled to others’ megaphones

Automating hardware bugs, etc? An LLM is absolutely not the right tool for nanometer scale physics

The ones I’ve seen that go over 45W specifically for the Steam Deck are mini docks with HDMI out and more

That’s just rephrasing what I said. You can plug in too much for a single extension cord even if there’s no chaining. A chain “just” increase the risk.

The risk isn’t usually the device you connect a bad cable to (they have internal limiters), it’s the cable itself. You can easily overload a cable if the extension cord can’t signal the lower limit if it’s own rating and the other cable’s rating.

The USB 2 part is also misleading.

Chaining regular extension cords isn’t a problem by itself, connecting too many things in parallel and exceeding the rated max is a problem (and chaining extension cords “just” increase the risk that ordinary people will decide to connect more than they should, especially because the lowest rated cable in the chain sets the total limit)

That’s an active extension cable, which is essentially a single port USB hub.

To be fair cryptography can make a lot of that kind of private data inaccessible

But still, this particular project is stupid and being able to use just biometrics for access is idiotic. Generating secret keys from data that is fully exposed to the public is extremely moronic.

Biometric scanners only protect against lazy attackers, unless you literally have an armed guard next to the scanner to enforce correct scans without shenanigans

It might mean the feds help search for him, not guaranteed to mean federal charges

This requires the crime to both be federally prohibited and under federal jurisdiction. Stuff like murder doesn’t typically fall under federal jurisdiction unless borders are crossed or federal property is involved or something like that.

Local NAS, local security cameras, in-house streaming, LAN multiplayer, local torrent-like data sharing (FYI, Windows Update and more uses the local network to share update between computers by default, so it gets downloaded once and then shared internally)

And then there’s 20 apps at $15/month each which collectively costs like $2 to run

They got funding from Twitter and Jack was on the board for a bit, but he bailed and formally quit (funny enough he bailed because they did more moderation than he wanted)

The atproto architecture is technology though. Open source and all
