  • While there are several ways to approach direct brain communication, they all have their benefits and drawbacks. Indirect methods, like this one, are much safer. But direct implantations, while riskier to get going, have the potential for near unlimited speed (both in bandwidth as well as reaction time).

    The latter definitely will have more benefits in the long run.

    Does that mean I'd want one in my head right now? Absolutely not. But if I were a unable to control most of my appendages, I'd definitely consider it.

  • I don't know what that means.

  • the Taylor Swift porn deepfakes were Dall-e.

    Got a source for that? I only have experience with DALL-E 3, but that is really picky about nudity, copyright and portrait right.

  • Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating

    Jump

  • So was Google in its first decade or so. Hell, I'll even grant that AWS, GCP and k8s have been mostly benevolent. But these parties becoming near monopolies for hosting or routing is costing a price of centralization.

  • open source model is no where as good yet

    By the time a law would be adopted, it probably will be. I wouldn't want to rely on the "kindness" of commercial entities as the sole protector of consumer welfare. We've seen how well that works with Google and Facebook.

  • PSA: update your DNS resolvers (PiHole, unbound, Bind9, dsnmasq) to patch DNSSEC vulnerability

    Jump

  • Wouldn't the attacker have to be on the same network as the resolver for this to work? Or could it be triggered by a "dirty hostname"? Because in the former case, most home networks would not be at much risk.

  • Not to mention things like Cloudflare, AWS, and GCP.

  • announcing freenginx.org

    Jump

  • A few years ago some other nginx devs also split off to create the fork Angie. I wonder why they didn't join forces. My guess would be egos.

  • Disney+ has started cracking down on password sharing in the US

    Jump

  • You're both right. In the long run it's going to hurt them, but very few companies strategise for the long run.

  • This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV

    Jump

  • For me the default launcher would always first list "recommendations" to install Disney plus or other platforms, before showing content that I'm actually interested in.

    I have since switched to a different launcher, one that automatically starts up plex as well, since that's all I use it for anyway.

  • That's okay, it's not blocked on the routers and phones of all the other people who let Facebook scan their phones with your address in it, or who post photos with you in it.

    Make no mistake - Facebook has a profile on you. You just don't have the login to it.

  • AI Companies Lose $190 Billion After Dismal Financial Reports

  • Yeah, just goes to show that the AI hype may be peaking, it's not going away.

  • Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox

    Jump

  • At least with Edge it's not disrupting the market by pushing an inferior rendering engine, like they did in the IE era. That by itself held the web back a good couple of years, and they were fined for abuse of their monopoly.

    But at any rate, all of this is whataboutism - the issue is with Apple's abuse of their position right now.

  • The explicit AI-created images of Taylor Swift flooding the internet highlight a major problem with generative AI

    Jump

  • I wouldn't be so sure. Depending on where you are in the world, there dozens of laws that might interfere. Ranging from publicity rights to slander, especially if the images are photorealistic (enough).
