  • The FCC just saved Netgear from its router ban for no obvious reason

    Jump

  • Yes, OPNsense is excellent if you have a spare computer to run it. Then you can repurpose your consumer router as a WiFi access point. I still feel safer flashing the old WiFi router with open firmware before using it even as a WAP.

  • If it's a desktop PC you can buy a PCIe card with multiple Ethernet ports pretty cheap, especially if you buy used.

  • Time to flash the old Netgear router with some open source firmware.

  • Netgear likely agreed to some backdoor shit

    If that's how you win Trump's favor, count me out forever.

  • FCC just handed Netgear a de facto router monopoly in the US

    Jump

  • It's not clear what makes Netgear's currently foreign-made routers safer than, say, an Amazon Eero 7 or a Google Nest WiFi Pro.

    This is all evidence that it's not really about safety. It's a clumsy attempt to strongarm tech companies into setting up factories in the USA. It may also be an attempt to create an environment in which it's easier to install US government backdoors on every home router.

  • JD Vance: Trump deleted Jesus photo because ‘people weren’t understanding his humor’

    Jump

  • "It was just a joke bro!" - the mantra of feeble fascists everywhere.

  • The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing

    Jump

  • The lobbying power of tech companies that profit from proprietary technology and feel threatened by open source. The same people who are behind DRM on everything from ebooks and music to printer inks, and legal restrictions on repairing the devices you own.

  • Can Claude Fly a Plane?

    Jump

  • tl;dr:

    no.

  • Now do the pedophiles!

  • British Morning Show Guest Declares Trump Is ‘the Anti-Christ’ After Prez Shares Wild Image of Himself as Jesus With Horned Figure Behind Him

    Jump

  • No, the J in his name stands for JarJar.

  • 8 in 10 Europeans don’t trust US, Chinese firms with data

  • Full time ass job

    Sounds exhausting.

  • MAGA Freaks Out After Trump Posts AI Photo of Himself as Jesus

    Jump

  • "Not political" indicates that they think of some people and some ways of life as political and others as just normal. And you know who will be classed as normal while everyone else is being needlessly political. "Not political" just means "Can you all just settle down and stop complaining and let a man enjoy his privilege in peace?"

  • Trump supporters burn MAGA hats after president's AI Jesus post and pope attack

    Jump

  • (I didn't make this.)

  • Trump threatens Strait of Hormuz blockade after US-Iran ceasefire talks end without agreement

    Jump

  • It's the naval equivalent of putting tariffs on the whole world, and equally intelligent.

  • They'll think God's angry with them for being insufficiently cruel to trans people, and double down.

  • Dad stuck in support nightmare after teen lied about age on Discord- Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Frey told Ars he was shocked to see a platform as big as Discord relying on such poor support infrastructure.

    It's exactly what we can expect from tech companies these days.

  • Why I always keep doing it...

    Jump

  • When it does a different crazy thing every time and you have no idea why, it means you're a genius and have created life.

  • Session is shutting down in 90 days

    Jump

  • Doesn't "decentralized" describe that application's architecture? It means it doesn't depend on central servers to send and receive messages. It's not a claim about the organization that maintains it.

  • Large physics models are increasingly used to bypass simulation

    Jump

  • If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

    That's not too bad if it's only ever used as a rough guide in the early stages of design, with proper testing done later. But do we trust corporations not to get lazy and pressure their engineers to skip the accurate tests altogether, especially when they can then brag to their investors that AI is replacing expensive engineer time? What would Boeing's management want to do with this tech?
