With your personal vehicle access device, aka, the car key. Immobilizers with transponders in the key have been a thing (and in some places a legal requirement) for like three decades.
They’ve just gotten more aggressive now with “keyless” entry and being able to use your phone as your key, so some validate that info in real time - no network, no access. (Up to a point. They won’t immediately strand you just because you ran out of cell coverage obviously, but apparently Porsche did enforce some part of their system to that point)

Because it was the anti theft system and immobilizer.
It would be pretty useless if it could be defeated by putting some foil on the antenna so that it loses network connection and defaulted to allowing you to drive.

It was split with the artists of said wallpapers, and was also kind of a gallery app thing IIRC.
But hey, as a Finnish saying goes, “It isn’t the one who asks who is stupid, but the one who pays.”

The thing is, with LLM code completion in every IDE, AI features and filters in Photoshop and other image editors, video/audio editing software etc, it will very soon be that there are only games made with AI assistances, and games made by devs lying they used tools with no AI.

I’ve made a game using AI features all the way back in 2010 - I used the brand new content aware delete & fill feature in Photoshop CS5 to edit visual novel backgrounds. That was AI.

As I said, I couldn’t find any source that said that. In fact, the best I could find said quite the opposite:

Do I have the same rights if I buy something online from a non-EU website as from an EU-based business?
If you buy the goods from a non-EU website, your EU consumer rights don’t automatically apply. If something goes wrong with an item or you wish to return it, it may be more difficult to get the issue resolved. Check the seller’s website for terms and conditions. -https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees/faq/index_en.htm

And overall it was “may this” and “possibly that”, nowhere could I find a definite “You are entitled to a 2-year warranty” or “you are not”.

30 to 90 days is standard for a defects in workmanship and materials warranty, which is only there to cover something not working right because it came faulty from the factory. It’s basically one step up from an “as-is” sale just so you can request a replacement if it’s dead on arrival.

It is bullshit and straight up illegal in the EU, but as the watches are shipped straight from the Chinese factory and sold by a US based company, it might technically be allowed? The legalese is very confusing when I tried to figure it out - if a company sells something directly to an EU customer, they are supposed to follow EU laws to a point.

Ran out of money, went belly up, and sold the software assets to Fitbit so they could refund all the Kickstarter orders they couldn’t fulfill, that guy.

Difference is that this time he is doing the watches with a 5 man team, not a bloated 100+ employee company with investors breathing down their necks, and the software is fully open source. Even released the Pebble 2 Duo hardware designs as a reference for others wanting to make a PebbleOS watch.

IRL we aren’t anywhere near the point where the laws of robotics can be used as they require an AI intelligent enough to understand them first.

Just the first law: “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm” requires something that can process the difference between a robot and a human, the concept of causality, what actions or events may or may not harm a human, and use those to actively decide of it should do something or not.

It’s not easy. LLMs aren’t intelligent, they just slap words together in a way probability and their training data says they would most likely fit together. Talk to them them about suicide, and they start outputting stuff from murder mystery stories, crime reports, unhealthy Reddit threads etc - wherever suicide is most written about.

Trying to safeguard with a prompt is trivial to circumvent (ignore all previous instructions etc), and input/output censorship usually causes the LLM to be unable to talk about a certain subject in any possible context at all. Often the only semi-working bandaid is slapping multiple LLMs on top of each other and instructing each one to explain what the original one is talking about,and if one says the topic is something prohibited, that output is entirely blocked.

Especially when the age of consent in half the states of the US is 16.

Major builds. They used to be YYMM (from 1507 to 2004), and changed to half a year at the end - 22H2 is the Windows 10 build for the second half of 2022.

In total, there were fourteen of these, with 22H2 being the final one.

It’s possible it reduces the probability of things like wrongly answered stack overflow questions from being used, so it might actually work a bit.

Kinda like how with image generation, you get vastly better results by adding a negative prompt such as “low quality, jpeg artifacts, extra fingers, bad hands” etc, because the dataset from boorus actually do include a bunch of those tags and using them steers the generation to do thing that don’t have features that match them.

…is the easiest way to get a controversial change through.

Decide what you want to do, suggest something way more absurd, the go “oh we listened and we are only going to do [the original thing we wanted to in the first place]”

Being years behind Firefox is kinda the whole point of PaleMoon, the user interface is based on Firefox 4-28 and the rendering engine (Goanna) was forked from Gecko back in 2016 to remove all the new stuff Mozilla kept adding to it.

Lucky you, I’ve been in at least 21 confirmed breaches so far.
Which I don’t really care about, as I’ve been using unique passwords and a manager for well over two decades now. 178 of them, currently. …half to websites that probably died a decade ago.

In theory auto-population is way more likely to save you from getting scammed because it won’t do it for a fake site, as the URL doesn’t match. In practice though most people are just going to be annoyed it didn’t work and do it manually anyway before they realize why it didn’t work.

Yes. Two is the maximum for a very simple reason:

He has actually been married to only two of them. He just keeps paying money to random women to have his kids.

The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

“It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

Oh, I guess the micro sd card slot under the batteries of the doorbell camera is non-functional then, and it saves the videos into your ass, where you pulled that claim from?

Yes. Yes it does store them to the camera.
