I can understand them being frustrated

The US owner would still be obliged to follow the UK rules, apparently. It's unclear how punishment will be enforced exactly.

Especially one you can't even get into contact with, besides automated rejection messages.

This is why we need an online Bill of Rights.

This isn't true. You can search Twitter for 'cis' and find endless unbanned accounts.

This is a good point. It's rather ludicrous to see the people who have been acting as thought police for years with a list of banned words and mandatory terms suddenly now caring about free speech just because someone else is making th

You can't even control the services yourself on a Windows PC anymore, let alone something embedded like a car.

I agree with your critique. We really shouldn't be celebrating when a simple text editor requires literally millions of lines of code to run.

Making a webcam work on every hardware configuration is very difficult. I don't think this is possible.

Just be aware that these "fixes" aren't 100% complete and will likely break in the future when Microsoft patches Windows. For example, when people tried to block telemetry in Windows 10 via the hosts file, Microsoft first mov

I take it you've never seen HYPER-REALITY? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs

Hopefully other states and countries sue them too. Facebook has taken massive liberties with our private data and they should be held accountable for it.

Does that mean youtube is AI generating your voice to "add it back" after silencing that part of the video? Does it ever generate different words to what you actually said?

There are lots of subtle ways carriers can punish unlocked phones. I tried using an unlocked Samsung flagship with a Verizon MVNO and it never worked properly. They even told me that various features wouldn't work such as Wi-Fi calling

Microsoft has also been attempting to block StartAllBack and similar programs: https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/01/microsoft_windows_11_...

I'd be more concerned over the massive amount of cheap Chinese cameras that have flooded the market and are likely sending video to the CCP.

You can't fix all of it. Microsoft is very aggressive about re-enabling certain "features" and new ones arrive regularly. Try watching Performance Monitor during the night, you'll be surprised at which files Microsoft ar

Doesn't Comcast collect browsing history too? This data breach could be a big one

I meant it would violate the laws in the victim's country. There are certainly laws against installing malware on someone else's machine in lots of countries.

So this is real? I always presumed the person he's talking to in these videos was just a friend/colleague playing the part. Some of the stuff he does to them seems like it would violate international hacking laws or something.

Didn't we already pay billions for rural broadband and the ISPs just pocketed the money?

It is shockingly slow. If you go to the store tab it freezes up for 20+ seconds, just to show a few small jpegs and some text. It's baffling to see such poor performance from a games company that's used to accomplishing more compl

Facebook does. They make billions of dollars a year from that kind of data.

This is trivial for Microsoft to bypass. They've already been consolidating and moving server addresses. Unless you block all internet traffic, you have no idea what's getting through. They can update the opaque code at any time.

Didn't secure boot fail because someone at Microsoft leaked the encryption keys?

This seems like something that would be heavily abused by sites that deliberately try to break basic browser functionality (like being able to right click images, or select text). If they render the whole page as a background image, you&#x2

Yup, the main link (Zuck's message) just shows me a threads icon and nothing else in Firefox. The threads.net top level page doesn't show anything at all. I don't see how this is supposed to be a Twitter killer when it doesn&

Doesn't Discord keep the data forever? And potentially sell it to "researchers"?

Good idea, but the desktop layout is horrible. It looks like a mobile app, with too much whitespace everywhere and not enough content. I'd like to see more than 1.5 lines of text per story.
