There is a difference between a software being ad free and a download site being ad free (or in this case, not). As long as the tool is OK, I don’t mind ads on the site. I don’t see them, anyway.

Come back once you have dealt with the thieving AI companies.

OK, who actually did think that data in Microsofts hands were safe from US meddling?

Any bit of data sent to an American server has to be considered compromized.

Yes, but still a privilege elevation bug is still less risky than a remote execution one.

“Putting a value on something” vs. “Something having a discernable value” is the point.

For exploiting a privilege escalation the attacker must be able to run their own code on your machine. If you let them do such things, you already have more than enough security problems in the first place.

Evaluation, not value.

Maybe because the US agencies have just not found their own backdoors into them…

No, it wouldn’t. Because you cannot make it reproduceable on that scale.

Normal analog hardware, e.g. audio tops out at about 16 bits of precision. If you go individually tuned and high end and expensive (studio equipment) you get maybe 24 bits. That is eons from the 52 bits mantissa precision of a double float.

Same here. I wait to see real life calculations done by such circuits. They won’t be able to e.g. do a simple float addition without losing/mangling a bunch of digits.

But maybe the analog precision is sufficient for AI, which is an imprecise matter from the start.

OK, if it runs OpenWRT, what is their problem?

Is there a way to jailbreak them and run them on Linux?

And that is probably only the beginning.

So the deal violated (admittedly questionable, but still valid) US laws? Make the companies pay dearly for this, so they’ll think not only twice, but a dozen times if ever asked again.

So they finally found a business case for their AI.

It is a bit more complicated. Back in the time (no pun intended) they made a mess by putting most of Europe in one time zone, from west of Spain to east of Poland. Which is 9° west to 28° east, more than 2 and a half time zones. Technically, Europe should split into at least two time zones. And this is going to be a mess.

Years ago, the EU parliament decided to abandon DST - with a vast majority. They sent it to the governments as “Homework” to determine whether to keep Summer- or Standard Time. Nothing came out of it.

Hehe. Imagine managing your house in the cloud, and suddenly there is no heating, no light, all the “smart” appliances don’t work anymore, and the shower only produces cold water, because the shower thermostat got a “0” as return value when asking for the preferred temperature…

Writes the one who has learned grammar in Twitter school.

Many people would, but I think I could rig something to have a sufficient amount of power in the house.

I can still read books and manuals, and i do have those books and manuals in paper form.
