I already disable images, but sign me up for text only email!

Most companies would have a much easier time with phishing if they quit sending official correspondence that mimics phishing. Sure, phishing is always evolving to look legitimate, but C͟l͟i͟c͟k͟ h͟e͟r͟e͟!͟ in literally every official email when whatever it is you need to do _should_ be reachable via known links. All the "click here" 's and "please see attached" tricks would quit working if it wasn't normal.

Too late to edit, but serious question if anyone actually knows.

My whole qualm with this AI integration into search engines: it's a search engine, not a question engine. I go to google to search the internet for something, not ask it a question. IMO, asking AI for something is a different task than searching the internet.

It's sorta the same problem as if I go into a store and ask an employee where something is, and they reply with "well what are you trying to do?"

That is only for CVE-2023-24033 thought, right? Not the other three that haven't been assigned CVE ID's?

> The four most severe of these eighteen vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-24033 and three other vulnerabilities that have yet to be assigned CVE-IDs) allowed for Internet-to-baseband remote code execution.

So I think this may be true for most, but as someone with awful workplace anxiety from shitty workplaces in the past it helps me tremendously to have touchpoints to hear that I'm doing ok and that my manager doesn't have any critiques/etc. This probably isn't the norm, so I think a middle ground of giving people the option to 1v1 makes sense.

Crazy concept: instead of banning cars, forcing electric cars, mandating specific efficiency, etc... we _could_ work towards a world less dependent on personally owned vehicles. And yet, huge companies will continue to just get a pass for forcing people to commute to jobs to sit on a computer all day.

> It is well established in medicine that improved/early detection does not equal improved patient outcomes and can actually result in patient harm.

Is there a specific time of detection that is well established as improving patient outcomes?

+9999999.

I wish they'd just sell hardware and keep the OS.

Not a fan of shopping carts in general. But what I really can't stand is when I go to a store and they have more large carts than could ever possibly fit in the store at once, yet very few of the small carts, and usually no baskets. I imagine this is to entice you to use a large cart -> buy more shit.

> My apartment started requiring an app to enter the premises and use another app so wash and dry your cloth and then required an app to enter the place you wash your cloth.

This shit has got to stop. I ran into similar doing a mortgage... They "only accepted the escrow payment through ${RANDOM_APP}." Yea right, y'all can take a check, and they did.

I'm quite sure _all_ the app does is process the payment.:rolleyes: /s No way they collect/sell any info I send through it. Oh, and I'm sure they'll be super upfront whenever their database that my info sits in for eternity with 'admin:admin' protecting it gets popped.

We are still drowning in paper spam. This is yet another area that is ripe for *reducing emissions and impact on our environment* that can only help everyone involved _except_ for companies that spam(scam in many cases), yet it is allowed to just continue.

I don't understand why we continue to legislate all these rules around cars, but yet companies that are perfectly capable of employing a remote workforce are allowed to mandate that people drive to the office to sit on a computer.

I guess it's more fun banning shit than it is building a world where we don't _need_ to drive _ANY_ car to an office. Or, a world where I can simply get on a trolley/etc to go where I need to.
