Ya it’s really starting piss me off as online marketplaces worked for years with no ID verification. Everyone just used online aliases and everyone was happy.
I keep getting nagged to verify so my account can reach more buyers and so sellers can see I am “real”. Don’t feel like uploading a drivers license or passport but I can’t find a easy way around it. Unless I just stop using the site all together I suppose.
Is there a difference between a machine and a robot? I would say yes.
A dishwasher to me would be a machine, similar to a air-conditioner or a car for example.
Attacking a countries food supply and food reserves really seems like a act of war.
The term “hackers” really downplays the severity of these kinds of cyber attacks IMO. It makes it kind of sound like a teenager in a basement somewhere, as opposed to some foreign state cyber warfare group or something along those lines.
Also it’s madness that systems like these are connected directly to the internet without read-only permissions implemented. Controls should only be accessible locally on some kind of airgap or local seperate VLAN.
Never used. Each time a website asks me if I want to create one I have this uneasy feeling of not actually owning the key.
Subordinates
Honestly I sometimes hear it, and my laptop’s not even on.
If you drive in an area covered by an ALPR-networked camera, your vehicle’s movements may already be in a searchable database. As the tools for building these systems become more widely available, the pressure for clearer rules about who may collect vehicle-location data, on whom, and for how long is unlikely to ease
Two website to be stay informed where these cameras are located in your neighbor and province.

The fivty camera in Brampton are already operational since March 2026 from what I can gather. Not to mention the countless others spread around the province.
Sometimes the hardware’s good, but the softwares shit. Google’s essentially Hammer Industries.

So it’s good to have alternatives in most cases.
How’s this different from the Chromebook, that Google cut updates to no less.
Will these new googlebooks come with the same update cycles?
How trustworthy are those sites? I do use them time to time but always asking this question to myself.
Sideing with the church on this one
Though the cynic in me believes (at this moment) the church might actually think “AI” is some omnipotent all powerful artificial intelligence, and not just some LLM “word spaghetti generator”.
Probably afraid that people might start treating it as some kind of all knowing “higher power”. (Who needs God if you have AI kind of mentally?).
To shreds, you say?
This really depends on your comfort levels TBH. My first NAS was a old motherboard with about 4gb of memory and a old core 2 duo cpu.
If you have any old components such as a old laptop, or a old pc, or maybe some thing like a raspberry pi you can start tinkering with Samba shares.
With a raspberry pi you could run something like HomeAssistant and setup a small smaba share. Plug a hardrive in and you have a network share to store files.
As for older pc components you can start with something like truenas, it’s a little bit of a learning curve but it’s a good way to tinker and slowly start to learn.
For me I run truenas for all my home NAS and media storage. On the side, another pc runs something called Unraid for services like Nextcloud and Immich to keep things separated.
I like your analogy and think it fits better for sure.
Yup that’s what I was getting at, but I like the pet analogy better that another commenter brought up.
AI is a tool
Similarly you can’t blame a hammer for causing harm, you blame the individual who holds it.
I wish there were some viable “fully cooked” alternatives. I won’t touch apple products with a 10 foot poll, and I owned the first and second iPhone.
As for Linux phone i have tinkered with it but its nowhere close to being a daily driver, yet.
Strangely sometimes I wish the Microsoft phone was not a total flop…
I guess the only thing left if a completely dumb phone, but that does not help if you use your phone more as a “pocket computer” then a phone at all.
I’m in the same boat as well, for some reason my music apps can’t seem to see my Google smart speakers, but strangely they can see my Nvidia shield and cast to that.
Looked through my app permissions I honestly can’t see anything out of the ordinary or plainly obvious. Both my speakers and android TV (shield) are on separate segment VLAN.
As for granting the permission, I generally like to grant on a app by app basis, lots of apps ask for internet access as a example but don’t actually require it to function. All my game apps for example are completely offline.
Hey can you let me know where I can find more info on this? I am running GrapheneOS as I was having this exact same issue as OP a few day back.
On my browsers I have network access, but nearby devices was disabled.
I checked my private dns settings and granted nearby devices access to my browsers, which allowed me to hit my local self-hosted services.
Just wondering if there is a better way to achieve the same.
Ya those are the ones, I keep getting nagged to upload a drivers license or something. Not sure how to get around it, or how to fake the ID
