I chuckled when I read this :
privacy safeguards from Google
And now our partner, the NSA will demonstrate the privacy safeguards they implemented in our latest software…

To be fair, this is one magnificent piece of paper.
I would lay on it.
He wanted to infiltrate the raccoons. There was just a minor flaw in the plan.
There were a lot of people making the case that anybody who can open your computer because they have your password (abusive partners included) could then have a lot of access to your activity.
Isn’t this true for any process with elevated privileges on your computer?
The valorant anticheat could just as well get all your data without you ever knowing it.
At the very least it’s better to have that feature in a secure setup rather than the Microsoft approach where it seems like an afterthought at best.
You know I’d rather people be on Linux where you can check what is going on rather than blindly trusting Microsoft (or Apple) that they only do what they tell me they do on my system.
I’m just saying that it’s not good to immediately assume what Apple will do will be as bad as Microsoft. They could take a bad idea and make it a slightly less bad idea.
Also security and privacy has very little value for the average consumer so it’s naive to think the feature won’t be used and useful to many people.
Most people give willingly their data to social networks so these kind of feature and their effect on privacy seems a bit pointless to me. If you don’t like that kind of feature maybe a closed sourced system is not for you after all.
It’s like people are worried about leaking data on what they do on their Windows computer all the while they already sent a ton of telemetry to Microsoft for years. Nvidia will happily scan all the apps you start for troubleshooting purposes.
Every little bit helps but I really think using windows and asking for your privacy to be respected is strange.
Windows 11 was already a privacy nightmare before this feature was tested.
I disagree, I think Apple will do this feature with privacy/security in mind which Microsoft didn’t do.
I absolutely don’t like Apple but I think it’s undeniable that they try to keep their OS secure. It’s still a golden prison but at least it takes privacy fairly seriously.
Microsoft didn’t seem to think about the challenges of that feature and it looks like a draft from an intern after a 1 hour meeting.
Obviously, something that scan a user screen has some implications that are hard to miss.
So yeah it’s easy to point at people and say they are fanboys. But in this case the fanboys would be probably right in the sense that Apple already did better than Microsoft when it comes to privacy.
At the end of the day both are businesses that you shouldn’t trust with your data but I would trust a lot more Apple than Microsoft for doing this right.
If you do self host I suggest reading carefully the Gmail guidelines for mails. They are the leaders in the field and they dictate the level of security required.
DNS forward and reverse, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, ARC, DANE, bounce signature etc. Email is indeed a very complicated thing to host. I work on emails system all day and and I wouldn’t host my own mail.
Even worse I’m hoping email disappear and another technology takes it place. Emails are unreliable and outdated, they need to go.
It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it’s not really a secret.
Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that’s also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me…
I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.
I would have voted for the Pirate Party if there was a ballot for them.
Didn’t print it beforehand so I couldn’t.
Last time I printed my own ballot they just didn’t count it and my vote was considered invalid. Even though I had the exact size required by regulations…
There should be laws and fines for this.
Here in France you can technically be fined for not securing properly your wifi. It was put in place by something called HADOPI which tries to catch movies shared on torrents. Unsurprisingly, the lobby of record labels managed to even make sure you couldn’t pretend someone hacked your wifi and downloaded illegally. But I’m sure the same bill but applied to businesses wouldn’t ever pass.
Businesses could leak all your sensitive data and they won’t get anything beside bad PR but a single french citizen not proficient enough to secure his wifi may get in trouble.
Technically you probably could. But it might be frowned upon to be complicit in a DDoS attack.
Now let’s cross Fortnite with fallout and Genital Jousting I’m sure that’s what players want.
Big AI trying very hard to hide the truth about glue in pizza.
Apple definitely has that kind of practices too.
Louis Rossman probably has a 40+ MN long rant on this somewhere on his channel.
Edit: Only a 20+ Mn long rant… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV4_mLw2BGM&t=1
Zabbix still remains a good choice imo. It works fine with Grafana et now the Zabbix-grafana plugin is officially supported by Grafana.
Zabbix without Grafana is pretty weak in term of visualization.
Management at Blizzard changing the game direction every other day, acting like headless chickens.
Maybe our few remaining players would like to play an RTS game within OW
Ok boss, reassigning all devs to this work
< Two months later >
It appears our RTS mode for Overwatch didn’t resonate with our competitive FPS playerbase
¯\(ツ)/¯ That’s too bad, maybe they want a flight simulator mode ? Or a fishing sim like mode, that would definitely resonate with players
What a bunch of idiots without any common sense. Leadership positions for the worst people.
By remotely I don’t think they meant a long RJ45 cable connected to nothing.
So this doesn’t look like a setup that can be fully secure.
Could even be completely fake and just to dissuade China from invading.
I suppose there is a security system to prevent just presenting a pic to the cam. But I agree that we shouldn’t trust it.
In any case, biometrics are bad to authenticate people. What’s the point of a key you can’t replace/change…
On the other hand I heard so many times the same argument for 144hz, 165hz and then 240hz…
Now 1000Hz is much higher frequency but in term of frame time it’s not that far. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people could successfully tell the difference in a “blind” test.
You should probably not call all reforestation as bullshit projects just based on a John Oliver video.
There is this interesting blog post on Ecosia :
I understand this is just a blog but there is good sources in there. Ecosia looks like a serious initiative and the fact that they got a B corp rating in Germany is impressive.
The devs said “improve AI” I don’t understand it as make it godlike and unbeatable.
I disagree completely with your perception of AI in games.
I think AI are way to weak and primitive in this day and age. And it shouldn’t. It should be scalable and able to challenge players who want to be and be braindead for others.
Right now in most game AI is borderline braindead.
An old game like FEAR has much better AI than most modern games and it’s from 2005.
So yeah, I think AI being very limited in most modern games is definitely an issue and unfortunately nothing specific to the game in this topic.
