Re: "Bootleg movies" with replica actors created with AI will start to pop up
I'd love to see LOTR with Benny Hill as Gimli, and Mick Fleetwood as Saruman

Apple, in my eyes, has always been great with accessibility features.
However, I also use Siri to dictate on my iPhone as I'd rather keep my phone in my pocket rather than advertise to the scroats of london that I have an iPhone
However, iOS 16 has been absolute Garbage compared to iOS of old.... It *may* be that I use my Airpods pro rather than my older powerbeats pro to dictate, not sure...
Even having Siri read stuff back is hideously broken: It can't differentiate between
"I live here" and "Now, live from Norwich..."
This is a choice by Apple to be this bad. If their goggles want to be successful, eye and hand gestures can't be relied upon solely: Voice has to be right up there too.
Sorry, Android users, although there's probably a Chrome extension that does the same thing
Vinegar is a Safari Extension that blocks Facebook and Youtube ads when watching videos
And it's so effective, when you have the need to use the normal FB or YT app, you realize what such a poor experience video consumption is on mobile devices
"But, what of the poor content creators who are not getting Ad revenue?"
You mean the same content creators that stick a minute's worth of "This video is brought to you in partnership with" in every video?
My XC90 (RIP) used MAC based authorisation for things like the Radio, etc, and replacement radios wouldn't work unless you switched off the MOST protection
HOWEVER: The second that you turn on mechanisms like this for the entire bus, hobbiest CANBus readers are likely to stop working for all but the most simplistic of faults
At the very least, radio keyfob messsages should be signed
Was literally listening to this on the World Service's Science Hour:

Back then, only Helium and Hydrogen existed (with maybe a touch of lithium), which allowed stars to be much bigger, but not as dense, as no other elements existed
Big stars burn quicker, thought, which resulted in more death of stars into supernova / black holes, which is where elements up to and including iron were formed.
And it's only when black holes collided that everything else was created
I find this stuff truly fascinating......
And that's the point.... Flexibility. This is not a binary decision: I'm in the office today, amongst colleagues I love, and have already solved a couple of problems face to face.
However, the work I do from home is different and has different requirements. I can go for a run through unmanaged forest, instead of the 40 minute bike ride from Chelsea and Westminister (Thankfully the ankle biters are at home this week, so things are a little quiet).
Flexibility is king. And that's the message a company needs to message.
Footnote: When I work from home, my pesos are more likely to go into local businesses rather than the megacorps that frequent london and pay no tax
I've been binge watching Mentour Pilot on Youtube, and what is VERY apparent is that, under high workloads, pilots panic and do the craziest things, including shutting down the wrong engines. Pretty much nearly every crash is due to operator error rather than equipment.
HOWEVER: There's an astoundingly big caveat to that: Some of the situations are because there's no president: The Air France flight from Brazil, for example: To Have all three speed readings wrong was unheard of, and the pilots had only trained for stalls at low level, not at 35,000 feet.
That:
"He said SpaceX could publish a clock correction for each satellite - something that is currently done for GPS - which would reduce errors to under one meter"
Is due to relativity. Because the satellites are moving so fast (relative to you), you need the correction to account for the differences in time between you and the satellite!
This stuff fascinates me :-)
I'm guessing BT doesn't use it's own services...

"Coronavirus led to a huge rise in the number of employees working from home. And, where possible, this is set to become the new ‘norm’. "
Hypocrites.
So, it's a little more nuanced than that. Admins have the flexibility of when updates are installed, even including the scheduling of updates. JumpCloud are new to MDM to I'd give their comments a little latitude
However, surely it's better than, "I'll just reboot windows before this important ca,,,,,, WTF? Why are you installing updates that you didn't tell me about NOW?!"
