The report, produced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, concludes that voting ‌machines could be further safeguarded by, for example, updating their software, the sources said.

Are voting machines connected to the internet???

I mean, yeah, updating software is nearly always better for security, but why wouldn't you just run the machines disconnected for max security?

Most of us didn't grow up suicidal and we still don't know, either.

Why wouldn't you just switch to a non-Chromium browser instead?

That would be why you use a prepaid credit card. Zero connection to anything that's actually you have yours.

Tell me you haven't watched Serpico without telling me you haven't watched Serpico.

FTA:

Anthropic warned against “[t]he prospect of ruinous statutory damages—$150,000 times 5 million books”: that would mean $750 billion.

So part of their argument is actually that they stole so much that it would be impossible for them/anyone to pay restitution, therefore we should just let them off the hook.

Somebody better put up a big fuckoff wall between the US and Mexico to keep the Americans out.

This repub regime is really showing us how much our system of government depends on having good-faith actors in (elected) positions of power. There truly are not sufficient checks in place to protect against one election's worth of bad actors.

Kind of amazing that this all worked for about 250 years, and heartbreaking that it could crumble in the next 2.5.

I suppose this means Microsoft will not count Word doc file sizes against users' cloud storage quotas, right? Right??

Isn't this true of like everything AI right now?

We're in the "grow a locked-in user base" part of their rollout. We'll hit the "make money" part in a year or two, and then the enshittification machine will kick into high gear.

And we will once again be forced to watch as the Democrats find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

They won the elections in a landslide only to turn around and IMMEDIATELY fuck it up.

A lack of adequate planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Adblocking is security and I will die on that hill.

The extra fun part is when it starts bitching at you for filling up the cloud storage allotment that you didn't know you were using.

Wholly agreed. There are no ethical billionaires. Fight me.

Hilarious that they blurred out "fuck" but the calls for genocide were totally cool to keep unedited.

Amazing that we don't consider shit like this to be bribery.

I'm gonna go to businesses I don't like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.

I literally did not even know this movie was in theaters yet.

I'm still unironically on Team Orca here. Get sunk, scrubs.
