If you download a movie from a torrent site, you have committed an illegal act in the US. It doesn’t matter if you watch the movie and then write a fanfiction based on the movie. It’s the copying that’s illegal. It seems clear from OpenAI’s statements that they torrented the data they used to build their models.

Yes recording at Netflix stream is pirating. That you got away with it doesn’t mean you couldn’t be sued for tens of thousands of someone found out.

You don’t think it’s unethical but it is illegal in the US and people have been sued for thousands of dollars. This is still going on today: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/isp-sued-by-record-labels-agrees-to-identify-100-users-accused-of-piracy/

OpenAI has said they need to violate copyright. But they didn’t say that the law should be changed. They want an exemption for themselves.

Did you buy the Ghibli movies you trained on or did you pirate them? Because OpenAI has argued that they are allowed to pirate and no one else.

They already said they are going to charge $30/year for patches. They want recurring revenue from ads in 11 or from you paying yearly for 10.

Putin wants it.

I just want a printer that doesn’t require you to upload your gcode to their cloud server before getting permission from them to print.

Recipe?

I have no idea what you are talking about about and Googling didn’t help.

I can’t reconcile the exterior with interior pictures. From the outside it looks like the inside of that truck should be the size of a large sitting room with a Chesterfield and some end tables.

Reagan passed gun control fast after the Panthers exercised their 2a rights. If minorities showed up in mass with guns, Republicans would flip on 2a immediately. Hypocrisy isn’t a word they understand.

They’re also modified with fiber cable so they can’t be jammed.

Yes. They also added an option to pay for patches.

Given that he predicts 6 new elements (3 lighter than hydrogen and 3 heavier than hydrogen before getting to helium), he’s a looney just like his math.

I do. But I also see a need to support content creators.

It’s not that they won’t do it. It’s that they currently don’t so it’s a good choice.

When they add ads, then we can find something else. I’m on Roku now but have been increasingly annoyed by the increase in ads.

Bad luck? I have very high levels of mica sediment in my well that my immediate neighbors do not have. I asked my neighbors when I moved in and none of them had that problem. The well company said that they usually drill a new well.

A few miles away a neighbor has such high radon that they need special filters that need to be disposed of by a professional company because it needs to be treated as a radiation hazard. I have no radon in my water.

As someone else said for lead, if you have old soldered copper pipes, that could be your lead problem.

A professional company can install water treatment to make your water safe. The well pump salesman showed off some of the crazy systems that they had done. One was a system of really large water tanks connected to a very large Reverse Osmosis system to deal with a well that had bad water quality.

I find it interesting that New York Jewish food became known as Irish. I remember learning that from watching the movie The Devil’s Own.

The Java edition is in the middle of being phased out

They have been releasing updates with new features to the Java version every 3 months.

but I assure you it will be gone soon.

It’s been 11 years dude.

MS eventually ruins everything. But Minecraft has lasted unshitified longer than some open source projects. I’m not going to stop using Jellyfin just because in 20 years it will turn into Plex.

Minecraft has stayed amazingly unshitified. Microsoft took two paths for Minecraft. They kept and updated the open Java version and developed a completely separate enshitified version that nevertheless can interact with the Java version using free open source server software.

If all products were done this way, the world would be a better place.

“Depending on how Bluetooth stacks handle HCI commands on the device, remote exploitation of the backdoor might be possible via malicious firmware or rogue Bluetooth connections.”

I of course don’t know details but I’m basing my post on that sentence. “Backdoor may be possible via … rogue Bluetooth connections.”
