Creation date was 20 days ago. That is why I am asking where the three days came from. But as others said, maybe GP read the hour as the date.

It is getting increasingly hard not to think of my Androids that has never done anything like this. It just continues on exactly the location in the last played song or whatever else I was playing. Audio book, radio podcast, movie, whatever. It just picks up from where I was.

Not to take away from the GP's claims but where in that whois does it say 3 days old? The page has two posts, one is "We are all doomed" and the other is "AI is bad at what it supposedly does", first post created (according to the site itself) just after the domain was registered 20 days ago.

Well, since about half of the emails you get from your friends are composed by an AI in some way, I hope your popcorn taste real at least.

The current non-US movement is more based on the emerging government type in the USA, has nothing to do with the privacy laws.

There are apps you use to scan products in the store to make sure they have nothing to do with USA.

Yes, thank you! Our whole family of nerds enjoyed it and I had to explain quite a few things to daughter but not the over head projector at least, she did bump into that tech in school for some art project.

She just installed linux on the laptop for university study and got to hear about what people used before "more" and "less" :-)

Exactly this. The black box in this case is a problem because it's not in my computer. It transfers the users data to an external entity that can use this data to train it's model or sell it.

Not everyone uses their browser just to surf social media, some people use it for creating things, log in to walled gardens to work creatively. They do not want to send this data to an AI company to train on, to make themselves redundant.

Discussing the inner workings of an AI isn't helping, this is not what most people really worry about. Most people don't know how any of it works but they do notice that people get fired because the AI can do their job.

No, a tank is obviously better at all those things. They should clearly be used by everyone, including the paratrooper. Never mind the extra fuel costs or weight, all that matters is that it gets the job done best.

The office you are talking about is not what it used to be a few decades ago. I am not into this world but what I know of it is like you are comparing a tool to the whole workshop. No, the tool does not replace the workshop, the tool is a very small part of the workshop.

There are alternatives but when you have bought into the full ecosystem of MS, it will take a lot of work to move.

(Full disclosure: I work with both Linux and Windows at a small company where Office means what you mean with office. They are all using libreoffice but call it office)

Not only american portions. I'm a remote worker since 20+ years. My first visit to the main workplace eating lunch was a revelation. The portion size was gigantic! And my coworkers (none having a physical job) was done within 15 minutes while I took a lot longer to not even finish half of my portion. It was at least five times my normal lunch portion. Insane. And the prices were lower than our village.

If I understood the follow up blogpost right, it states that there is a lot of email adresses where the only hit is the email domain so they are filtering away that as false positives. Not all stolen credentials are properly aligned and encoded with ; on the correct place I guess :-)

There might be a lot less gmail adresses showing up as pwned now.

Not to mention the functions are also translated to the other language. I think both these are the fault of Excel to be honest. I had this problem long before Google came around.

And it's really irritating when you have the computer read something out to you that contains numbers. 53.1 km reads like you expect but 53,1 km becomes "fifty-three (long pause) one kilometer".
