Maybe it is time to make parents to understand the dangers of AI. They are worse than the perceived dangers from social media.

So the deal violated (admittedly questionable, but still valid) US laws? Make the companies pay dearly for this, so they’ll think not only twice, but a dozen times if ever asked again.

They call this “Added Value for Commercial Use”, probably.

So what does this new change do then? Is it just about disclosing the state to the user?

The only issue with this otherwise great idea is that “the developer says, that…”. A browser API should have a way to only grant certain rights when this is technically disclosed, e.g. an extension can only access location data if this is (formally) declared, and must be able to cope without it if the user or any global policy disallows it.

I actually do most of my development work on an old Linux laptop. I do use the shell occasionally, but most of my work is in an IDE and in an editor.

Ah, OK.

For someone not in the US: what kind of shop is that, and why is it banning people from NJ?

No idea. I assume it’t Mexican?

When I was young, I had no money to get drunk or high, or smoke. Saw people getting hooked on that shit, sick, and dying, and decided that this is not the way for me.

Can’t say I’m unhappy with that choice, and my life.

McDonalds.

Yes, but some devices simply don’t work without calling home, or have 99% of their brain in a cloud. For those cases, the vLAN does not help.

Pay to win.

Well, yes, that’s what those cheap “smart” devices do. Or does anyone think cheap smart would fit into that device? Rule of thumb: if a device needs internet access, it is spying on you.

Now that they realized this, which was blatantly obvious for quite some time, will they throw the book at them? Or is it just a stern look again?

Looks more like kitchen ready rat.

Accurately observed.

Oh, there is. I love having a set of controls separate from the passenger side.

Sometimes they use the oddest hardware in such a machine for which only windows drivers exist, at least for the moment. Hardware shops manage to fuck this up especially with wifi cards.

You’ll probably have to buy that set two or three times over for brick if you want to build the throne room.
