It drives me crazy every time I use it

TL;DR: it looks like there are routers on the market that use gpt APIs to classify new, never seen before websites and add them to the blocklist in real time

This allows everyone to run something like the "great firewall of China" - and imagine what a government could do

Full story:

At work the boss got persuaded to pay some thousands for a fortinet firewall to cripple the customers free wifi (the extremely stupid idea is to sell them an unblock code, but I live in a country where with 10 euro per month people can get 100gb of 5G connection, who's going to pay?)

I tried that network and I was really shocked how crippled it was. Boss decided to block anything related to gaming, for example. You visit a small game developer page and it initially works but after a few minutes, you get a "blocked" page (but customers can't see that because nowadays everything uses HTTPS and they don't have the self signed CA on their system - they just see HTTPS certificate error). I tried multiple times but always the same result, after a few minutes is blocked.

Everything that corporate thinks it's not appropriate, it's blocked!

I felt more frustrated using this network than the time that I lived in China! (Left a few years before COVID, don't know the internet situation now)

When I came back home I took a shower and I thought to it under the hot water. At home I'm using gpt4o in karakeep to classify my bookmarks... and a router can also do the same.

Same company acquired two very similar apps.

One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year

So they "carefully considered this decision" by delisting the cheaper one for the more expensive one. Boom, 500% cost increase

Don't want to pay? Well, your files are hostage. Stop paying and lose your data.

Ps: remember the lie "subscription for software assures constant updates"?

The announcement serves as the final nail in the coffin for one of the iPad’s oldest and most popular sculpting apps, which hasn’t received any major updates since 2023.

And from the glowing reviews it's clear that

  1. W11 doesn't actually need a new PC to run and the limitations are completely artificial

  2. For many people, a ten years old PC is fast enough (or even faster than a brand new Intel N100 PC that is officially W11 compatible). They won't even notice that's something from 2015, as long it has a shiny new case, enough RAM and SSD

  3. Amazon doesn't care that the PC comes with pirated software, or that someone is scamming their customers, as long they get their 15% cut from marketplace sales (the cost of a genuine license of W11 pro and office exceeds the price of those ewaste specials)

TrueNAS systems with Apps should be upgraded immediately to 24.10.2.2, before June 1st! [...]

After June 1st, Cobia and Dragonfish users with Kubernetes Apps will need to manually back up and restore their application data and configuration to a new Electric Eel installation. The manual update process is more complex and should be avoided.

The claim has a non linked URL where they compare the performance of a core i3 6th gen from a decade ago (presumably with 4gb ram) with a core ultra 5 just out (presumably with quadruple the RAM)

Left: I opened a sealed roll of a filament purchased in 2018 and I printed that rose

Right: I dried that filament in the creality dryer overnight and sent the print again

This pic was taken on 10th April. After drying the filament I put it back in storage and I forgot about it until it exploded today

A while ago I bought a roll of transparent petg "the filament" by spectrum. Wonderful, it printed great, shiny, smooth. I loved it.

Then I took advantage of the promotion on the Bambu lab website "4 rolls are discounted + free shipping" and I bought their transparent petg.

I opened the vacuum bag, loaded immediately in the printer and it strings and pops. Settings are correct as the slicer has a dedicated profile for this roll.

Their website says "warning: dry before using" - they mean that it comes already too moist from the factory?

Meanwhile, ai companies that are doing exactly the same are allowed to rack up billions in revenue.

"It's American for profit corporation, not a Russian cybercriminal!"

The content of this "important notification" is that to remind me that on January 18, 2025, they will delete the data of Google Currents, because they killed it. I even didn't know what that product was.

"Teens are dying on bikes" - it's because of a bike of it's because of a fucking truck that weighs like 300 bikes?

Biden stressed his belief that Israel was the victim dating back to the Oct. 7 attack

Yes, we are not disputing that. Israel definitely was the victim at the time. But that doesn't mean they're allowed to kill so many innocent people that we now have lost the count

In the github issues the dev is aware of this but he's not completely enraged, just mildly infuriated that the design is too similar and he's politely asking to have a different design.

From the history in the wayback machine i don't see any "parking" page between the switch, so my guesswork is that the dev has been approached with an offer like "we like that domain, we would like to buy it for $$$", unaware that they would copy the design like that in order to achieve maximum deception of users

Can see easily that they are using reddit for training: "google it"

those tables usually are wrong or misleading, i don't like them.

Edge for example has the 3rd party cookie blocking and it works ok, so why it's "no" and not "somewhat" or similar?

A source that's not the daily mirror: https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-owners-bill-battery-damaged-ev-scotland-weather-2023-10

Daily mirror was already a low quality source, now they even use "ai" to "embellish" the story (read: add fake details).

They added this to the bottom:

An AI tool was used to add an extra layer to the editing process for this story

The verge is completely wrong in this headline.

They wrote "are now available to buy".

No. It's a Kickstarter that might ship next year. The headline should have been "Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal might be available to buy next year if the crowdfunding campaign isn't a scam"

What's the point of primary and secondary backups if they can be accessed with the same credentials on the same network

100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn't the "ad" tag I couldn't distinguish that.

They can't cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap
