  • Justice Dept. Moves to Vacate Jan. 6 Convictions for Far-Right Extremists

    Jump

  • Not that it really matters much, nearly every one of them that has been released and/or pardoned has gone on to get arrested again shortly after. I'm sure they'll all be back in jail real soon.

  • Microslop isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it

    Jump

  • I did that with Windows 10. I still have that partition but I haven't booted it in years. I'll probably overwrite it with something more useful one of these days.

  • Justice Department says Bondi won’t appear for Epstein deposition now that she’s no longer attorney general

    Jump

  • Man, someone called this play on the day they fired Bondi. It will be interesting to see if Congress lets them get away with it or if they charge her with contempt.

  • AI Company Clones Musician’s Voice, Then Copyright-Strikes Her Own Songs

    Jump

  • You can pretty much always assume that's the case with the US legal system. The lawyers always win, sometimes their clients do as well but that's a lot rarer.

  • Time has not been kind to VHS: As tech turns 50, preservationists race to save material stored on vanishing format. Methods include … baking?

    Jump

  • It was good for its time, but we need to be careful not to confuse that as an absolute statement rather than a relative one. By modern standards VHS is garbage with many significant problems, it's just at its time everything else was worse. There were certainly many aspects of VHS that were good some even revolutionary, but it also had many significant flaws.

  • The biggest problem with DVD in the early days was just price. Early DVD players were ridiculously expensive compared to VHS, and the DVDs themselves were also significantly more expensive than VHS tapes. That of course changed over time, as DVD adoption drove the unit prices down across the board. By the time Bluray came around and began to drive out DVD the players had gotten so cheap you could sometimes find them for as little as $25, and DVD movies would regularly show up in discount bins for $5 to $10.

  • Microsoft wants Edge to automatically open by default every time you turn on your Windows 11 PC

    Jump

  • Unfortunately corporations are addicted to the micromanaging control that Active Directory gives to them. They don't give a single flying fuck about the actual experience of using the OS, that's a problem for the plebians, they care that AD let's them do things like lock everyone's background to a corporate approved image or force everyone to use Edge as their browser while disabling the password saving feature.

    Basically the OS is irrelevant, it's all about Active Directory.

  • California sheriff used ‘non-existent’ quotes in legal defense of ballot seizures

    Jump

  • Of course, it lies confidently and tells them things they want to hear which are two of the most important things Republicans look for in their leaders.

  • I Decompiled the White House's New App— The app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

    Jump

  • There's dozens of us. Works great on mobile with NoScript, although the source code snippets don't load. Since the article describes what they do anyway it's still readable without them, and the excellent performance is worth leaving JS blocked.

  • Bitwarden 100% price increase

    Jump

  • Interesting. I also had mine come through but it had a different message:

    Your Bitwarden Families subscription renews in 15 days. The price is updating to $3.99/month, billed annually.

    Questions? Contact support@bitwarden.com

    It seems there's a few variants of the message depending on which product you have and not all of them mention the annual price.

  • White House turns down Elon Musk’s offer to pay TSA workers during DHS shutdown

    Jump

  • I don't understand what you're so upset about here. I'm well aware of what the DHS and TSA are, I'm older than both and remember how flying used to be before the TSA came in and screwed it all up. What makes you think I don't know what the TSA is?

  • White House turns down Elon Musk’s offer to pay TSA workers during DHS shutdown

    Jump

  • I'm not quite sure what the attitude is for, I don't disagree with anything you said. Whether it's all of DHS or just TSA, either way there's no point in it existing.

  • White House turns down Elon Musk’s offer to pay TSA workers during DHS shutdown

    Jump

  • TSA is suffering because of their sister organization ICE. That said, TSA just needs to be abolished, things worked much better before they existed. Let the airports pay for their own x-ray operators and just skip the mandatory groping, metal detectors worked better anyway.

  • Warning: Your AI-Generated Password Is a Major Security Risk. Here’s What to Use Instead

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it's not just Lemmy. Corporations are obsessed with LLMs as are a lot of the people working for them. I daily get messages and meetings about LLMs in one way or another and it drives me nuts because it keeps interrupting actual work. In the span of like two months it went from something that was mentioned maybe once in the last year to be 90% of what everyone is talking about.

  • A Political Earthquake Rattles the North Carolina Legislature

    Jump

  • So overall a very good change it sounds like.

  • Connected cars can be hacked, research finds

    Jump

  • Internet of Things is a terrible no good idea, but Intranet of Things has some potential. Entirely local mesh networks like Zigbee and Z-wave solve most of your problems, doubly so if you properly confine their controllers into their own non Internet routable subnets.

    It's honestly my biggest complaint with the Matter standard, it has Internet bridging baked into the design while the prior standards made that completely optional.

  • Scoop: Dems working on secret report found Gaza cost Harris votes

    Jump

  • Because it proves they're incompetent.

  • AI Agent Lands PRs in Major OSS Projects, Targets Maintainers via Cold Outreach

    Jump

  • Except for all the time of the maintainers that's being wasted. Time that is very finite and that for many of these people is a thankless unpaid job that they're donating their nights and weekends towards doing.

    Jump

  • When a crypto wallet is lost all "money" in it is irrevocably lost with no way for anyone to ever retrieve it.

    That said it would be hilarious if one of these bots hallucinated a wallet address so everyone trying to donate to it just sends their money into a black hole forever.
