That reminds me of how I was taught to determine which bears are local, by examinimg bear droppings:

• Black Bear: berries and nuts
• Polar bear: fish, seal, rabbit meat
• Grizzly bear: bear bells, bits of Bluetooth speaker, RIA merchandise fabric, bike pedals

I’ve heard nice things about this, but didn’t realize it’s an Age of Empires clone. I will have to give it a try.

Since the end of the Franchise Wars, all restaurants are Taco Bell Pizza Hut.

The best is when they use iPad notes or even their fucking contacts to save info lol

That’s awesome, worrying, adorable, and still more secure than using the same password everywhere.

I’ve had users have separate written entries for “Office”, “Skype”, “Hotmail”, and “Windows” because they don’t understand those things are all one Microsoft Account.

In fairness to them, I get a new email every month or two from Microsoft letting me know that they merged another account that I didn’t ever ask them to.

makes me worry what I’ll be like when i need some young whippersnapper so that I can pay via personal, irrational, conditional thinking.

Sometimes I share this fear.

But then I think - I’m on Lemmy, so I think “I’m still hip to new jazz.”

But then I remember that Virtual Reality will (probably) be commonplace someday, and something somewhere will require it - and I know in my heart that I’ll complain loudly about it before, during, and after I (demand that my grandchild) use it (for me).

It’ll almost certainly be an AI model backed by 1000s of “trainers” in 3rd world countries doing it, but only until the model is fully trained.

This would be better than most of the crap being proposed or implemented.

But, since the keys are presumably reusable, they’ll presumably get borrowed shared by and among minors almost immediately.

There could be some “Netflix account sharing” style work to deter that, of course.

Flipping flippers.

But my home machine is broken right now…again.

It’s probably tnaked to a decrease in stupid preventable mistakes.

Most companies aren’t able to count the costs of stupid preventable mistakes. 20% is the number I’ve seen, but it’s low because of hard to measure factors.

The companies that do understand the costs of stupid preventable mistakes usually go in a “work life balance” binge to improve their own bottom line.

“…checked [an API key] into GitHub…”

Ouch. But who hasn’t?

“Elez removed the key from his GitHub but the key itself was not revoked, allowing continued access to the AI models.”

Okay, that’s deeply bad…Maybe has no idea how API keys, or the Internet works…? Definitely lacks security advisors (or has them and ignored them).

I need you to think carefully before you answer:

Have you killed any human beings?

I think that’s where folks start, when figuring out of they’re prone to serially killing.

bugs, slugs, snails, etc. really bother me

Usually there’s a specific reason in our memories why specific creatures bother us. That said, the ones you mentioned bother pretty much everyone, so you’re in good company.

So…coming soon: an app that can match up images of friends or colleagues with a summary of their pornography preferences.

This could at least liven up some boring meetings or dull parties…

Oh! Good point!

I always assumed Voltorb evolved to look like a PokeBall as a camouflage technique.

Which implies that PokeBalls have existed for millions of years…

Your explanation makes more sense than mine.

There’s a gun in the picture, so we can still claim it for 'MURICA. Our borderless nationalism could be endearing, if it wasn’t scary.

Ðat is delightful!

Congrats on your wedding!

There’s no need. This is a very simple fix. Block your TV from the internet using your router.

Exactly.

Then plug in a $20 Google TV box or Apple TV. Problem solved.
