FTC scolds two data brokers for allegedly selling your location to the meter
Wednesday 4th December 2024 18:50 GMT 
A sneaky trick.
I've noticed this recently, and so have many others.
The app you are using doesn't use location data.
, but the advert delivery systems do.
I discovered this via Podcast Addict which I've used for many years.
Permission in Android say it doesn't get use location setting
So how am I get (fairly) local ads then within the podcasts then?
Yup they are preloading adverts into the stream based on your IP address.

Major energy contractor reports 'limited' access to IT after ransomware locks files
AWS says AI could disrupt everything – and hopes it will do just that to Windows
Wednesday 4th December 2024 01:28 GMT
Yawn....
...AI could do something....going to change everything....this is more powerful than ever and will....
How?
When?
Give me some solid answers. Some real time lines.
Listening to these pricks is like being locked into a politician asking them a question such as "What's your name?" and listening to them drone on about immigration, crime and health for 24 hours solid.

Re: Encreasing competition for limited "business" opportunities
Russia doesn't have a good shortage problem. Russia is a f'ing huge country. Some things have changed, but there are no real shortages.
I've followed a Russian YouTuber for years, and she has stayed out of politics as much as possible. She's highlighted issues with things like money transfers she showed how they get around it via bank accounts in different countries) , no advertising revenue from YouTube etc.
But she also highlighted how they have quite literally recreated the likes of McDonald's and Pizza hut just under new names.
The stores were sell stocked (some of her favourite brands had gone), but plenty of European goods were still easily obtainable via the grey market.
.
I also follow some other Russians on Instagram (Artists and Photographers) and they say similar things
It may not play to the narrative we want to hear, but I'd rather hear both sides of the story from real people, rather than baseless crap endlessly repeated.
As for the economy it's doing OK. They are still selling plenty of oils and gas to India and China.
If anything ,it's their arms exports that have taken a kicking as they have repeatedly shown that there amazing new high tech gear is just old kit in a pretty package
Gelsinger departs Intel with $9.7M handshake
Severity of the risk facing the UK is widely underestimated, NCSC annual review warns
Tuesday 3rd December 2024 19:54 GMT
Words....just words.
Pretty much anyone here could type into ChatGPT
"Write me a report on IT security threats facing the UK" and it will spill out pretty much the same, empty, shallow guff.
You can say if you don't take action now, 99% of all IT will be destroyed by next year, business will go. "We're probably in the 1% and the stock holders won't like it if we miss our targets for this quarter" . Public sector bosses will go "Ooo scary, but meh, not like they'll fine us if it goes belly up'
Until the people in control suffer real financial losses due to a lack of investment in security, we'll be reading this same puff piece in 5 years time.

Good luck...
...considering my daughter once got handed a glass of wine when she was helping me get the order from the bar.
She was 13.
Seriously, all a girl has to do us put some slap on and they can look a lot older. Boys may have to wear a false beard.
Oh let's not forget, those did that do look older will have a nice little earner setting up accounts for the younger ones.
It'll be the new version of older kids buying fags and booze and reselling it at a huge mark to the younger ones.

Are BCS now just click bait?
"Pupils should acquire digital skills and be taught to get the best out of tools like ChatGPT"
So in two or three years everything they learned with be useless and irrelevant.
I'm sure 3 years ago they would of said
"Pupils should acquire digital skills and be taught to get the best out of tools like the Metaverse and Blockchain"
And having two kids sat though the shit system that is UK education (ok not as bad as US), having to learn yet more things, taught in a way that bores the shit out of them, while actively destroying any creativity and individuality, this is more crap they don't need.

Re: Falun Gong spiritual movement
Although I don't agree with how China treats them, people should also look into who they are before endearing themselves to them.
Quote from Wiki (yes I know, but it's more reliable than 99% of the web these days)
"ultra-conservative and controversial teachings include a rejection of modern science, art and medicine, and a denunciation of homosexuality, feminism and general worldliness.""

So if the plan was denazification, why didn't he start by blowing up Russian cities?
And let's not forget he invaded Ukraine well before this latest war.

Re: Wait, widely accepted legal precedents ?
In their twisted world, they conflate "publicly available" with "ok to copy"
Soooo why don't they contain major corporate logos or images e.g. Mickey Mouse or Nike? They are publicly available after all.
By their logic, I'm ok to copy any Disney movie and resell it, under "fair usage", so long as I swap the opening and end credits around

AI hiring bias? Men with Anglo-Saxon names score lower in tech interviews
Friday 22nd November 2024 02:00 GMT
Re: You can't add arbitrary data to remove bias.
That's a very poor example.
"It's why people from poor communities aren't inclined to learn piano with an aim to become a concert pianist. "
Pianos are very, very expensive (yes you could get an upright for £50, or even free), but then you'll find the tuning costs more than a new one.
You could pick up a 88 key weighted digital with sustain and damper for a a few hundred quid. But then throw in several thousand Pounds of lessons
My daughter is learning violin and that's close on a thousand a year....and that's just a"hobby".
So saying "poor" people aren't inclined is a lie. Poor people CAN'T.
Big difference.

"D-Link US is prohibited to provide support for these EOL/EOS products, "
What complete and utter crap. I've never heard such horseshit spew from a marketing droids mouth.
Shiw me ONE law that says it's illegal to patch end of life product. No? Thought jot
Many other vendors (including MS) have done it in the past for high vulnerability exploits
Just another example of all that's fucked up in tech these days
