Tbf I don’t think CSC Serviceworks intentionally stole residents money. They just ignored the problems … like you’re doing rn.

His work around is here.

Lots of places forbide it, on the off chance it floods the unit. There’s also the thing (when renting an older unit) where water usage is included in the rent … and they don’t want you using more than they allot in their assessments.

Can’t have anyone dipping into their profits.

Double dipping right there. Make money on rent AND selling renter’s data. Capitalism at it’s best. :/

The Eye might tell you, if he’s in a good mood.

I can’t wait to see what a crystal hologram reader is gonna cost. :-p

On hand at the launch (of The Institute at Ben-Gurion University), according to coverage, were officials from global firms like Microsoft and General Motors, as well as top-tier Israeli politicians, like Herzog, the president. (A spokesperson for GM told The Intercept they could not confirm the company’s attendance.)

An American auto maker showing up at the opening of a secretive cyberspying training academy in Israel is concerning.

A small blurb from The Guardian on why Andres Freund went looking in the first place.

So how was it spotted? A single Microsoft developer was annoyed that a system was running slowly. That’s it. The developer, Andres Freund, was trying to uncover why a system running a beta version of Debian, a Linux distribution, was lagging when making encrypted connections. That lag was all of half a second, for logins. That’s it: before, it took Freund 0.3s to login, and after, it took 0.8s. That annoyance was enough to cause him to break out the metaphorical spanner and pull his system apart to find the cause of the problem.

It says ‘Boeing’ both in the linked article and the quoted portion above …

“Federal prosecutors say key Boeing employees ‘deceived the FAA,’ misleading the safety regulators about a new flight control system on the 737 Max called MCAS,” as NPR reported in January of 2021.

The deferred prosecution agreement had been set to expire three years after it was filed on Jan. 7, 2021. But the agreement also allows the DOJ’s Fraud Section to extend its heightened scrutiny for up to an additional year if Boeing is found to have failed to fulfill its obligations — including the airplane company’s promise to strengthen its compliance and reporting programs.

Patent trolls rank right up there with private equity firms that own massive amounts of housing. Scum of the earth right here.

I hate the constant creep into areas they don’t need to be. It’s no wonder so many of us stick with a stable OS for years, just so we avoid this stalking.

I held onto XP until 2011, and Win 7 until last year.

Then disallow the whole sentece with the N word.

There are ways to do security in AI learning, easy or not. And companies just throwing their hands in the air and screaming it can’t be done are lying through their teeth.

I disagree. Even basic inclusion of words to change (ie: the N word to Black or f*g to gay) would have helped.

Making these companies work harder to bring their product online isn’t a bad thing here.

I thought I’d have to as well. Just got lucky.

There was no sound at all, and when I went to look at the tv before buying it, they turned it on to show zero pixel loss but didn’t have the volumn on. And I didn’t push it.

Got home, no sound, so searched the model and found the answer … a minor setting adjustment. I was super happy about that.

A win for me. \O/

I bought second-hand and got a wicked deal (cause they thought the audio was gone, but for me it a quick fix). :)

If I’m streaming a 4K the resolution is limited by my non-4K tv. Other than that the resolution is dictated by the stream itself (ie: some are DVD quality, some are low res for those who have poor bandwidth, etc).

Many of the streams I access show the size of the file stream so you can choose the best one for you.

My set-up doesn’t include a smart tv … I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.

So mine is a good LCD > HDMI’d to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.

Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.

Reddit mods owe spez absolutely nothing and I’m hoping they not only stick to their guns, but also that spez goes through with his veiled threats. Why? Because then I can donate to the mod’s breach of contract lawsuit.

Spez’s heart palpitations over his future failed (?) ipo is a fantastic watch. My popcorn is ready.
