Windshield wipers were invented by a woman.

Automatic elevator doors were invented by a Black man.

Alan Turning.

But tell me again how diverse people don’t make successful products?

100%. You wouldn’t hire right-wing “celebs” internally and to the board if you just want your own posts to do better.

I use it when I’m traveling and am on insecure WiFi.

However, it doesn’t let you pick your egress location,.so if you’re trying to get to PornHub in Texas, it won’t help.

What is missing is that the podcast originally claimed it was entirely written and generated by AI. They only changed the story when they were sued.

And I don’t think any of their nude photos are appropriate for academic papers (unrelated to nudity research) either?

Yeah. The arbitration section of the agreement specifically says it only applies to US residents.

I’m more concerned that the company decided it was OK to meld the “From:” line of her email (asking for support) into her profile. If they think that’s an appropriate way to handle PII, I don’t trust them.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say “it couldn’t have happened to a nicer company”. I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

Misread that as “cat” and thought I was in for a cute satire, not a boring dystopia.

Not at all! I had to use ID.me for unemployment and it skeeved me out too.

They’re working to improve login.gov to support the level of user verification needed for this service, but it isn’t there yet. Hopefully next year when tax time rolls around again.

The people who make up the 2% market share using Firefox overlaps with the people tired of AI - specifically LLMs - being shoved into everything.

Mozilla just released a LLM-driven website generator a few months ago. Why are we assuming they won’t add something similar to Firefox?

If Mozilla wants to use machine learning, awesome. But how about we treat the techies who support them like adults and say “machine learning” instead of using the AI buzzword which is overloaded.

NewEgg is such a shell of its former self. They went from fighting patent trolls to platforming scammers.

I want the creators I watch on YouTube to continue to get paid, both from YouTube and their sponsors. My contributions through premium are sliver of what they see, but if everyone stopped supporting them in that way, the total would be zero.

I back some of them on Patreon where I can, but it’s not economically feasible for me to back them all in such a way.

Yeah, as someone who gets good mileage with YouTube Premium, I wish they offered a version just for ads without music. YouTube music sucks hard, but I can’t justify paying for another music app on top of it.

The fact that Google started as a search company and yet search in their own apps sucks is boggling.

In YouTube Music, when you’re building a tuner to create a station, you can’t search at all. Instead, you get an endless scroll off bands and have to find the one you want that way. The order is random.

Like … Pandora let you do the same thing with search back in the 00’s

At Giant, I’m pretty sure it’s decided by the system based on some algorithm, not the employee. The one time I was audited, we were in the store for a long time and had removed a few items from the cart after adding them.

The audit consisted of the employee scanning ten random items and confirming we had scanned them too.

Spent an hour last night moving to 2FAS. Authy doesn’t make it easy – unlike their competitors, they don’t offer an export feature.

I can’t tell from their page – is it syncing via a SaaS service or just out to a file store like Google Drive?

Edit: It does sync with Google Drive and file exports. No SaaS component that I can see.

They already said that the Brave API is cheaper for them. That’s the motive. They keep charging the same but pay less.
