  • Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings

    Jump

  • Especially in the companies with the enterprise warning label non-technical idiots are in charge of setting technical policies because it is all about office politics there.

  • Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is a "feature" for the companies with the "enterprise" warning label who would rather waste a lot of effort on ineffective compliance checklists than actually make sure their software is up-to-date with security fixes.

  • Doesn't matter for the "problem" they are trying to solve. Nobody interested in the "sensitive" information of another company will complain about picture quality if the information is readable enough.

  • Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings

    Jump

  • Considering most of the organizations using Teams bear the "enterprise" warning label I wouldn't count on whoever you are talking to having the ability (as in permissions, not stupidity) to turn it off.

    Jump

  • I have looked but I just couldn't find an open source alternative that supported Teams core features like showing an error every time I login.

  • Broadcast vs mpsc channels?

    Jump

  • Broadcast sends every value to every consumer, mpsc only allows a single consumer to get each value.

  • Bill Gates to give away 99% of his wealth in the next 20 years

    Jump

  • He was also a major opponent of the efforts during Covid to waive medical patents for producers in the global south to allow faster distribution of those vaccines.

    China has introduced a drone that flies like a bird. The new invention could turn the drone industry upside down

    Jump

  • Actually the whole point of birds not having their eyes on the body is that they can essentially stabilize their head with their neck so it is not affected by the flapping motion so much.

  • AI is draining water from areas that need it most

    Jump

  • Presumably not gone, just from food quality to dirty.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • In fact when you think about the way organizations like RIAA and MPAA like to calculate damages based on lost potential sales they pull out of thin air training an AI that might make up entire songs that compete with their existing set of songs should be even worse. (not that I want to encourage more of that kind of bullshit potential sales argument)

  • Qt Group unveils expansion plans for technology-agnostic Qt ecosystem

    Jump

  • Having used Qt in C++ for a decade or more in the past I just can't see them integrating idiomatically into any language, they don't even manage that in C++ with their giant case of 'not-invented-here' syndrome.

    What will the prison of the future look like? Prisoners will be able to be implanted with the memories of the victims of their crimes •

    Jump

  • Naive of you to assume that rehabilitation is the goal in the countries with the highest prison population per capita like the US.

  • Tesla bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners won't get Autosteer feature they paid for

    Jump

  • Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Jump

  • I was one of those people too and the academic environment was honestly depressing. Almost none of the professors actually cared about the topics they taught, only about the ones that were their research subjects, on the topics they taught many were stuck at the state the introductory topics were at when they first graduated themselves (in IT where everything changes much more quickly than that). Many university wide decisions were nonsensical (e.g. teach memory management in OS classes in Java because Java was the language they standardized on for everything due to industry pressure). For Bachelor topics they only wanted to accept topics where you could tell you would basically spend months to write something that would end up in the round filing cabinet once it had served its grading purpose. Questions in larger classes were highly discouraged, even pointing out mistakes in the lecture materials (obvious indisputable ones that shouldn't hurt anyone's ego like some typo in the order of digits) got responses that discouraged doing that again.

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Jump

  • The term bulimia learning has been used for well over a decade now to describe that cramming before an exam only to immediately forget all of it afterwards too. Testing in education is fundamentally broken and has been for a long time.

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Jump

  • Not just Americans, the British political class has similar issues.

  • Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online?

    Jump

  • Then you probably won't like the thought that an even smaller percentage of people who think they need to get ever richer and control ever more aspects of ever more people's lives are basically ruining our offline world.

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Jump

  • The main issue is that testing if someone knows and has the skills to do a job well (or at all) is a hard problem, whether you outsource that to people who write a piece of paper or try to do it in-house in the employing company. Hell, half the companies do not know if the employees they have had for years are any good at their job.

  • U.S. seeks breakup of Google's ad-tech products after judge finds illegal monopoly

    Jump

  • Pretty much all their other projects are not really worth it, e.g. that mobile OS, Firefox Send, their VPN, all those AI projects recently, Pocket,... and usually just lead to dead ends. Thunderbird might be an exception if I needed an email client but I do not.

    And the ones that do seem useful and good bang for the buck, like Mozilla Observatory, get abandoned.
