These “ai says” articles are all fluff. You can get an LLM to say just about anything you want. This is akin to “my child says we should eat the neighbor.”

We’ll still be hulks, it just won’t be that incredible.

You can have the most secure and secret OS in existence, and you’re failing miserably the moment it has unfettered access to the internet.

On the flip side, literally any OS can be secure if it’s airgapped in a sealed room.

There’s a happy medium in there, and that’s where most governments want to be.

Somewhat niche a use case, but *extremely interesting. Hopefully it can be adapted for other conditions!

Then the social left started pushing things that it wanted purely because of morals

Example?

Do you mean Calibre?

Finishing off Abbadons Gate. Managed to get back into it after many months long break.

Very odd. I’d have thought they were gonna go for one take as much as possible, but I guess not.

That is honestly impressive. I can confidently say I’ve only owned one wired headset for a decade, and it’s the one I use for gaming so it never leaves my office.

Everything else has either broken, or been lost. Though I fully admit, serviceable wireless buds would be a thing of beauty. IIRC there are people out there actively working on the problem (other than the companies explicitly aiming for them to be a consumable forever.)

Did we see anything? They are offline whenever I check but it seems they were live about 20m ago?

I’ve owned three Bluetooth headsets in total. The first I lost, the second is now my wife’s, and the third I still use. I wouldn’t call them disposable, but I’ll agree they are easier to lose.

Something a wired set of anything can’t give me is absolute freedom to move my head and walk away from my phone. I will never willingly go back to wired for anything other than gaming.

They did have a dongle for it. Annoying, but not insurmountable by any means.

Honestly? For all the bitching when Apple first removed it, I hadent and haven’t used wired headphones for a long while. I had Bluetooth headphones long before then.

Might want to edit your title to specify “room temperature superconducting.”

I highly doubt that. Regular people have no real ability to effect the outcome, and the majority of people are saying “there’s no way this absolutely bullshit situation gets fixed” not “what is there to fix? Nothing is wrong!”

No company is paying their PR to say “Yeah [we] are real pieces of shit that need to be hacked up and thrown to the wind but [we] are gonna come out of this just fine so suck our cocks.”

That isn’t how PR works. At least not till they hit dictator levels of power.

No shame in fearing firefighters.

I get where you’re coming from, but keep in mind that at the time this happened, there were 2 people working on the code, and likely only a handful paying.

TRMM was originally a personal project, at the beginning of which it makes some sense to intermingle things on the “official” site. I know I’ve done similar, but my projects never take off to the point that people are doing an audit. And I know I would absolutely make that exact exe for personal use.

Keep in mind, the only reason the version with a crypto miner was found was because someone went digging around. No one was ever linked to the installer, no one had ever downloaded it by mistake, no one had ever had it stealthily installed without consent.

I get that it’s a scary concept, like when brave was found to be injecting affiliate links into normal traffic. But in this case it wasn’t even something put in prod. It was found by accident, in a place that wasn’t doing any harm, and was never found in the wild.

Seems like a lot to get worked up over.

As for the discord chat, I’m not surprised. Having been in their discord for about as long as that “scandal” has been around: The reason his responses were fumbling? He’s just a hobbyist that’s managed to get one of his projects into a good enough place to make money off of. Are you expecting a PR team level of response?
