Would be cool if Nintendo just made games instead of being a patent troll that rereleases the same 10 games over and over again.

I don't see why anyone buys their shit except for nostalgia at this point.

Why bother submitting vulnerability reports just because some AI claims one with no POC?

For sure, thus why I said it's a pipe dream. We can dream though, maybe we will figure out some kind of solution one day.

I maybe could have worded my comment better, people definitely should not actually assume they are talking to real people all the time (I don't). But there should ideally be a place for people-focused conversation and forums were originally designed for that purpose.

I think when posting on a forum/message board it's assumed you're talking to other people, so AI should always announce itself as such. That's probably a pipe dream though.

If anyone wants to specifically get an AI perspective they can go to an AI directly. They might add useful context to people's forum conversations, but there should be a prioritization of actual human experiences there.

About time! Been using an addon for this, I wonder how the features stack up.

Highly recommend using groups for people who open too many tabs, I categorize them and they function well as temp bookmarks. Also recommend using another addon called autotabdiscard so you don't nuke your RAM.

Using a VPN will prevent your ISP from selling your IP logs to data brokers. It also obfuscates your IP to websites you visit to make their fingerprinting less precise. All your ISP can see is that you're connecting to/from a VPN server through an encrypted tunnel and maybe some metadata like amount of data transferred.

Hard to compare value to free stuff like encrypted DNS and an ad blocker but a VPN definitely has protections you wouldn't get otherwise.

Wow that's pretty great savings, a lot of what I saw basically said to expect to pay over a normal listing. Seems like a pretty good deal considering the amount of customization I assume you get, you just need somewhere to live while it's building.

Do you have any resources for what you used to plan your build? Or did you mostly hire professionals to figure it out?

I wonder at what point Powell decides he should raise rates. Trump has already been publicly stating he wants them lowered faster and how he also wants to fire Powell but it's not clear if he will be (legally) able to.

Last I saw there was a court case making it's way up the courts to overturn a legal precedent regarding the executives power to oust members of independent boards so it's technically possible he will be able to legally oust Powell and install a lackey if the supreme court decides to throw out existing precedent. I think you're right and both global markets and the dollar will reel if that happens. The fed is supposed to be independent and that obviously is not the case if Trump can fire anyone who doesn't do whatever he asks.

The supreme court seemed to grow a spine on the Kilmar case so maybe they'll continue to have one when this case makes its way up.

Building something myself is something I've thought a bit about. Most things I read try to talk me out of it but when there's no decent home inventory there's no decent home inventory. There are also advantages of being able to customize stuff.

Do you have an expectation of how much it will cost relative to existing homes in the area you're building in? Of course one of the things you're supposed to plan for is cost overruns lol but I'm still curious how expensive you expect it to end up being.

I've always wondered if they do this to encourage people to buy lots of socks at once and change over the whole wardrobe. Like the companies are just trying to fleece the whales of sock buying or something.

Sounds maybe unlikely idk. It just drives me insane that no company keeps the same design for more than like a year and I have no explanation why they do it.

Fair enough, and even if they did I think op in this comment chain was talking about monopoly level advertising so I guess my comment wasn't really warranted either way.

I'm surprised to read they don't at least hoard user data. Very un-big-tech-like of them.
