A year or two ago I personally encountered scraping bots that were scraping every possible resultant page from a given starting point. So if it scraped a search results page it would also scrape every single distinct combination of facets on that search (including nonsensical combinations e.g. products that match the filter "products where weight<2lbs AND weight>2lbs")

We ended up having to block entire ASNs and several subnets (lots from Facebook IPs, interestingly)

Seems like they didn't even read the headline...

That's not at all what the article says is happening.

"Immigration Judge John P. Burns has been using artificial intelligence *to generate audio recordings of his courtroom decisions* at the New York Broadway Immigration Court, according to internal Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) records obtained by Migrant Insider." [Emphasis added]

> requiring internet access to access local media

Good news! You can whitelist exceptions by IP/subnet

Go into Plex Settings, then Settings > Network (show advanced). Scroll down to "List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth"

"Comma separated list of IP addresses or IP/netmask entries for networks that are allowed to access Plex Media Server without logging in. When the server is signed out and this value is set, only localhost and addresses on this list will be allowed."

Put your local subnet and netmask into that (e.g. "192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0") and you should be all good

FYI, I also have "Secure Connections" set to "Preferred", but I don't know if that makes a difference for this or not

> Would be nice if Integer(nil) worked like Array(nil) though.

How would that work, though?

A value of 0 is conceptually different from not having a value

Do people really believe that Meta isn't correlating/linking Meta accounts to Facebook accounts regardless of user consent?

I don't understand why we should trust this company to not do shady shit with user data

I didn't say Musk was being a hypocrite, and I don't appreciate the smug sarcasm of your response

Clearly she needs to charge enough for the sweatshirt to at least cover costs, and she provided reasons why the costs here would justify that price.

She could charge less if she used sweatshop labor, but that would make her a hypocrite. The price she lists is in-line with her oft-stated political/moral beliefs.

Musk's point here--as best as I can understand it--was to claim that AOC was being a hypocrite.

Also it still costs less than a Tesla sweatshirt ($75)

On yeah? So how do people run iOS apps on instruction-executing machines that weren't made by Apple?

> The iPhone is an instruction-executing machine. That's what people buy.

That's not what people buy; that's the hardware they receive as part of their purchase.
