If that wasn’t a rich people class institution, it would be called a title mill and closed for that …

I think we are already seeing that with Microsoft. Another 2-3 rounds of AI and they forget how to build windows.

As a fellow diaeresis user I concur.

Thinking about that, it reminds me of addiction. You replace your motivational system with another one, that gives you a faster and easier reward.

There is an easy cope out to say, these were bad engineers to begin with, but I’m not convinced.

We know that if you don’t use an ability and use it daily your brain just reallocates resources to other tasks. So if you have a machine that “outsources” thinking for you, you will be less able to think.

For a moment I thought that was a rotten strawberry.

Have you seen Merz? Germany would instantly fall to the US side if that happens.

I find it always funny how people defend every platitude that comes from a decorated scientist because he got amplified through “pop sci” media.

This is exactly how we got people like Feynman, Montagnier or Pauling.

I don’t think this is scientific or ethical in the end.

Noble laureates, the most abundant source of opinions found so far.

Of course.

Personally I have given up on that. I try to either use false information when they don’t need the real data or throwaway" emails and SEPA and one time credit card numbers for banking stuff.

I don’t trust any company with my data ever, so I’m constantly paranoid in a way.

The Chinese can do less harm with my data than the US and it’s allies.

I don’t understand why they are signing it. I mean we know that Microsoft is hostile, why submit to their signing bullshit.

The more you normalise bad behaviour the worse it gets.

Every 2-3 years Radiosynthesys comes to the surface in science journalism. So far no one has come up with an explanation how it could work or if it could work.

They best they got is, some kind of melanin response to radioactivity, which would make sense as a protection mechanism.

It’s a cheap Chinese made, it prints when I turn it on and that’s like every two months for the last 3 years. So I guess it’s good. I also only use it to print from linux or my phone.

I got a cheap Xerox laser printer, the toner is cheap and lasts forever.

The whole mobile ecosystem is a giant hardware backdoor on every phone. I think it’s too late now to change anything on that level.

Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.

You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.

The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.

I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.

If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

Interesting, I wonder if you could do the same now with Internet. We know that DSL works over a wet rope.
