  • Car Privacy is Shit

    Jump

  • Does your car lock up outside of cell coverage? I'm not suggesting removing the radios themselves, just the antennas. To the car, it will just always be out of range.

    The antenna used for talking to the keys might cause trouble, but those are either inherently short range inductive systems or are receivable using a 20$ RTL SDR to verify it's not sending anything else.

  • Should be quite easy to remove any WiFi/cellular/satellite antennas from the car's computer. (Might be trace/chip antennas, so make sure to get those). If you're extra paranoid, get the GPS antenna too, so it can't simply record data indefinitely.

    Might take a few hours to go through the car to make sure you get everything, but you won't be limited to super old cars.

  • O of what now

    Jump

  • Just add a delay that pads it out the execute time to 10 seconds. O(1) ez.

  • blahaj

  • I reserve .elf for executables for other platforms, like microcontroller firmware.

  • GNU Taler is not your friend

    Jump

  • You people realize that most crypto is even less private? Every transaction ever can be viewed by everyone, forever, by design.

    Sure, a crypto wallet might not have your name on it when created, but good luck buying or selling any without giving away your identity.

  • iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?

    Jump

  • It's mostly that apple products are a pain to use with non apple ones. They even have a proprietary image format so something as simple as bulk copying your photos over can be a pain (each has to be manually exported through the GUI).

  • ChatGPT’s much-heralded Mac app was storing conversations as plain text

    Jump

  • Doesn't everything do this? If someone gets access to your hard drive, your fucked anyways. AI chat logs are about the least problematic thing on there.

  • Na let's keep timezones, there useful for humans who generally want time to mean something, but lets ditch daylight savings time, all it does is make scheduling a massive pain twice a year, and messes up everyone's sleep cycle. Without it, timezones would just be a fixed offset from another, minimizing trouble.

  • What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm much more worried about someone in my country spying on me then China, like what are they gonna do from the other side of the world?

  • Stable Diffusion 3's Disastrous Launch Could Change the AI Landscape Forever

    Jump

  • Looking at the logs if my Stable horde worker, more then half of requests made were to generate porn. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot regardless of if the filter worked as intended.

  • Meetings vs productivity

    Jump

  • Don't forget the loss of productivity in the hours before the meeting, spent worrying about it.

  • Evidence

    Jump

  • It's not so much that we know there was nothing before it, but that we can't figure out what was before it.

  • How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend?

    Jump

  • Randall did the math on this one: https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/

    He assumes 64 GB microsd cards, if you use 1 TB ones, you could send 16 times more.

  • Easiest and most secure way? Mail (or hand deliver) a flash drive. That's how they transfer data between super computers and data centers. (AWS even has dedicated trucks to do it)

  • Shop on the Temu app? Why class-action lawsuits in Canada and the U.S. have been proposed over privacy

    Jump

  • No one's gonna talk about how they turned referral links into a piramid scheme?

  • C++

    Jump

  • Hot take, C is better then C++. It really just has one unique footgun, pointers, which can be avoided most of the time. C++ has lots of (smart)pointer related footguns, each with their own rules.

  • No tritium found in fish one month after Fukushima water release

    Jump

  • All that other stuff was filtered out, but the tritium is near impossible to separate, because it is chemically identical to the hydrogen in normal water.

    As for caesium, there are still detectable amounts of Cs-137 in most of the word from the thousands of atomic bomb tests. It's half life is just 30 years, but it will still be detectable for a hundred years or so because of the huge amount we released.

  • A banana naturally has has around 15 Bq of potassium 40. Assuming a volume of 100 mL, mashed bananas have around 400 Bq/L.

    Currently, the treated water has around 250 Bq/L, around a fifth of mashed bananas. In other words, a banana smoothie could easily be more radioactive then the water as it was released.

    The banana's potassium 40 has a half life of more then a billion years, so it's not going anywhere, unlike the tritium who's amount will half every 11 years. Also, potassium is concentrated by many plants and animals, while tritium is not.

  • How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub?

    Jump

  • pass otp. Works, more secure then SMS, open source.
