  • I'm sure you're right, but with the ease of spreading information via the Internet, we get to hear about everything all day. I'm sure this is what it was like for those closest to those presidents enough to be up to date all of the time.

  • Right now Republicans have no real wins that they can campaign on, and the ones that they can are unpopular even amongst their base. They have to drum up controversy and draw the spotlights to something, and this is the best they've got.

  • Often times dog meds are just people meds. I just looked it up and in my case we were giving her Tramadol. Once upon a time we were giving our dogs Zyrtec for allergies, but the dose was like 6x the human equivalent. We found an alternative that maybe was new at the time that was much cheaper and was a single pill dose.

  • Coincidentally, I had to give a past dog pain meds after an ACL surgery, and the pills were notoriously bitter and awful. Hiding them in hotdogs worked for a little while until she tasted a pill once. We also did cheese and chicken, which again worked until she tasted a pill then didn't trust us anymore. It was a long couple weeks.

  • I've walked into a Target one time since they used the excuse of political pressure to drop their dei initiatives, and haven't made a purchase. I can't control a lot of things, but what I can do is not give money to shitty people and companies (short of taxes and other legally required payments). The list keeps growing, and I'm far from perfect at avoiding places, but the spend has definitely gone down at most of these places that I'm aware of.

  • PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct

    Jump

  • When I started at my last job, I was fresh out of college, only Best Buy Geek Squad experience, and I was the sole IT guy at the company. All "backups" were shadow copies and VM snapshots. Shadow copies are great for simple accidental deletions, and the VMs would work as a backup 90% of the time, but it was not a valid backup solution. When I left we had onsite backups to hard drives, cloud backup in Azure blob storage, and remote replication geographically distant.

    It still could have been better, but it was something. Also, we worked on government contracts and stored confidential and ITAR controlled military and government drawings and data. It was one of those things that I'm absolutely shocked that in my 9+ years there that we never had a major breach or lost any data.

  • I see what you're saying. When I say not common, I mean I trust that it's not common or likely for a doctor to secretly use a phone or other hidden camera, whatever method that may be, to record, not that the phones themselves are uncommon.

    I think one big difference between the two is I trust my doctor, but if they walked in with a recording device on their face I would immediately lose all of that trust even if they said it wasn't recording. If I saw my doctor walk in with their phone camera exposed, I would also have concerns, but less than the glasses, mostly because the glasses have one function, and that's recording. Seeing a phone would mean there could be malicious behavior, but not necessarily. It would be something that I would bring up if noticed.

    At the end of the day, you have to have some level of trust or you'll go crazy. It's easy to trust that your doctor isn't secretly recording you, but not so much when they're exposing the camera to you.

  • That's fair. The point still stands that they should do better.

  • Did I ever say it doesn't include concealed phones? Do you sweep for hidden cameras, including concealed phones everytime you go to the doctor?

    Again, it has happened, but when it's single digit instances out of thousands or millions of doctors, that's almost never.

  • Yes, I and damn near everyone else believes it. Do you sweep for cameras whenever you go to the doctor? What about public restrooms? If there is a creep doctor that is willing to risk everything for a peep, yes, it's possible. How many out of the millions of doctors out there do you think have put a hidden camera in their office? If it's less than 1 in 100, then that is near 0%.

    He’s Young and Thoughtful, With Kennedyesque Good Looks. Can Rob Sand Break the Republican Grip on Iowa?

    Jump

  • Rob Sand is the only politician that I'm aware of that can actually win an election with bipartisan approval. He was the only elected official in Iowa that did so as state auditor, where he got shit done, by the books. The only criticism I've ever heard about him came from those cunts Gov Kim Reynolds and AG Brenda Bird, of which I can't honestly say which is worse. They got pissy because he uncovered corruption, they didn't like it, and their attacks on him failed.

    He's not a progressive, but he's a good person that I genuinely believe can be trusted to do the right thing. There's a reason Musk is looking to spend millions in Iowa, and it's because Sand is awesome and has support on both sides, but can't be controlled by any party. Him winning governor would bar none be the best thing that's happened to Iowa since it was the first state to legalize same sex marriage.

  • It's not a Meta only thing, but they are certainly one of the worst companies to have that data. No company should be able to collect data without express permission from anyone in that data. I don't want literally any 3rd party storing video of me that I didn't give them approval. An example would be if there were a medical procedure that were recorded on a private local server for reference or archive purposes, similar to any other medical records. Those records are protected by privacy laws like HIPPA where Meta glasses don't have that.

    The recording technology isn't the problem, it's consent and how that data is stored and handled after taken.

    So if Sony did have their own glasses like Meta, I would 100% expect the backlash to be almost just as bad as it is for Meta. Again, Meta is worse, but bad and really bad are both degrees of bad that deserve criticism and pushback.

  • Because hidden cameras aren't common and given the legality of the situation, the risk to any medical professional to try and sneak in and use a hidden camera is extremely high. It's not impossible, it's just extremely unlikely. There are many many things in life that can be trusted because the odds are extremely favorable, and trusting that there aren't hidden cameras in a doctor's office is one of them.

    Again, to not trust this reality is conspiracy level insanity. If you wanted, you can go in and sweep a medical room for hidden cameras if you're so insecure that that's what's needed for piece of mind, but everyone will think you're loony tunes.

  • We're not anti technology, were vocally anti destructive and anti privacy technology. AI is terrible in almost every facet. It's a neat technology on paper, but the environmental and societal impact far outweighs any positives from it. Camera glasses that record people that don't want to be recorded and saved to a cloud where that information is trained on and out of the control of anyone that's been recorded is a major privacy violation. Again, the technology of having smart glasses is neat on paper, but it reality is awful and prime for abuse.

    So we don't hate all technology, just the shit technologies, like those mentioned plus flock and Microsoft products to add to the pile. Not being critical of these technologies is insane to me, because it lets these companies push the limit of what's acceptable without reprecussions.

  • Having a hidden camera in a room would be illegal. The chance of a hidden camera existing is near 0%. Just to survive, people have to be able to trust in something rather than question every single aspect, and trusting that your medical office isn't illegally wired to record you secretly is a safe bet. However, when a dumbass walks in with their personal gear that is designed to record and save that recording into a cloud is not even remotely acceptable, especially when that cloud is Meta.

    Comparing the two like the hidden camera is a common thing is some major tinfoil hat shit.
