A teacher gave us the definition of biotechnology in primary school, something like "using living organisms to make products or services".
I asked if ploughing a field with a horse-drawn plough is biotechnology and was told off for having a piss. It was a genuine question and I still don't know.
What's a realistic reply to "oh my God, I'm so sorry!" if you are pretending you got that out of the blue without any context?
I'd assume someone close to me died and I don't know about it.
I'm sure Temu collects all information you put into the app and your behaviour in it, but this guy is making some very bold claims about things that just aren't possible unless Temu is packing some serious 0-days.
For example he says the app is collecting your fingerprint data. How would that even happen? Apps don't have access to fingerprint data, because the operating system just reports to the app "a valid fingerprint was scanned" or "an unknown fingerprint was scanned", and the actual fingerprint never goes anywhere. Is Temu doing an undetected root/jailbreak, then installing custom drivers for the fingerprint sensor to change how it works?
And this is just one claim. It's just full of bullshit. To do everything listed there it would have to do multiple major exploits that are on state-actor level and wouldn't be wasted on such trivial purpose. Because now that's it's "revealed", Google and Apple would patch them immediately.
But there is nothing to patch, because most of the claims here are just bullshit, with no technical proof whatsoever.
Yeah, it is. It's such an extraordinary claim.
One requiring extraordinary evidence that wasn't provided.
"It's doing amazing hacks to access everything and it's so good at it it's undetectable!" Right, how convenient.
The confusion stems from the fact there no APIs in Android that let apps use RCS. Only Google can use it on Android and no other apps can use it. Anyone can make an SMS app. Only Google can make an RCS app.
It is an open standard, meaning you are free to create your own operating system for phones that implements RCS. But Google doesn't let you use it on Android, so in practice it's closed.
Plus, Google's implementation of RCS adds extra features (like encryption) that aren't part of the standard. So even if you create your own operating system that implements RCS, it will still be incompatible. So that's another reason it's not really open.
Of course it makes sense, the code does pretty much nothing. The point is that the tutorial does not teach you about how to remove a background. It's like a "how to cook X" article that just tells you to "order X online" and that's it.
The analysis shows it's spyware, which I don't question. But it's spyware in the bounds of Android security, doesn't hack anything, doesn't have access to anything it shouldn't, and uses normal Android permissions that you have to grant for it to have access to the data.
For example the article mentions it's making screenshots, but doesn't mention that it's only screenshots of itself. It can never see your other apps or access any of your data outside of it that you didn't give it permission to access.
Don't get me wrong, it's very bad and seems to siphon off any data it can get it's hands on. But it doesn't bypass any security, and many claims in the article are sensational and don't appear in the Grizzly report.
Keep in mind explorer.exe is not just the file manager, but also the entire desktop itself.
Not to disagree with the sentiment, but the screenshot is fake. I just tried the same prompt and it solved the "puzzle" without issue.
They didn't:
They stopped using the codenames in marketing, but they are still there.
You should use randomly generated passwords from a password manager, there is no short supply of strong random passwords.
It's funny how media widely misreported this, but what's not funny is that people believe that to this day. Even in this thread people think Microsoft said that.
The quote is in the article:
Right now we're releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we're all still working on Windows 10,
They obviously meant Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows, but I guess misconstruing the quote got the clicks and then everyone went along. There was never any announcement from Microsoft, all of the "Windows 10 is the final version of Windows" thing is based on misconstruing the quote. If a reporter really believed this interpretation to be the case, it would be easy to just ask Microsoft, but they didn't. Or did, got the "lol no of course it's not last" answer and ignored it because that would make their clickbait article go away.
Someone who wants to have Google on their CV when they leave in 2 years. Generally works out.
No, it doesn't say you can treat someone badly if they treat you badly. It doesn't say anything about how others treat you having any effect on how you treat them.
It says you should treat everyone the way you'd like them to treat you, regardless if they actually do or not.
Female leads are fine as long as the game is good? Why are male leads fine even if the game is not good? Why does the gender matter either way?
So what I'm reading from your comment is:
Thanks for the info, I should try them.
The project was accessing Haiers cloud API, not just your appliance. Not that that it makes this any less shitty, but there is a difference. They aren't saying you aren't allowed to access a product you own, they are saying you aren't allowed to access their servers.
The reality is that game development industry is full of exploitation, workers are underpaid compared to people doing the same job in other industries, they commonly have an expectation of unpaid overtime, and now lots of them lost their job.
Having less games is not the issue, people losing their jobs after already having it worse than other office workers is the issue.
So that if you leave the room to make yourself a tea or something while the game is loading, your won't miss the cut scene / beginning of the action / lose the game because it started without you present.
I was also confused what the European Space Agency has to do with this
Since this is an MMORPG, how so you prevent cheating? Since this works offline, what prevents someone from faking the steps count and reporting to the game that they totally made 50000 steps while the phone was offline for 24 hours?
Looks amazing! But this was my main worry here.
Might be tricky because airbags are single-use. How do you know that your hack worked? If you test it to confirm you lost the air bag, so you'd have to buy at least two, make sure you did the exact same modification on the second one after confirming it worked on the first, and still be unsure if it's actually going to go off when it matters.
Just don't buy it.
That's what everyone tells themselves because "haha Nintendo stupid".
No it's not going to have the opposite effect. Best case scenario a different team will take over the project and continue, which is not impossible, but far from a given. More awareness to an abandoned project? Yes, but the entire point is that Yuzu developers won't add Switch 2 support, and that was assured.
How do you get banned from Reddit? I know mods can ban from their subreddits, but getting banned from the entire site?
What's up with everyone calling it ugly? It's a shit car, but I think it looks cool. Something that has no place in reality, but fitting in a video game.
GA now backups your codes in your Google account, so this doesn't happen anymore.
I'm sorry but I have no idea who is the CEO, of say, Nissan or whatever, and I'm sure 99% of buyers don't research that.
Nobody is saying it's enforceable. It's just a shitty thing to do when someone shows you something in confidence, asks not to share it, and you publish an entire news article about it. It's just a dick move. Obviously nothing illegal about it.
I got their notice email, apparently I bought a laptop charger from them years ago, and after all this time they were still keeping my name, email and physical address, which now leaked. So that's how.
They sell anime on recordable Blu-rays? Surely they use normal Blu-rays?
I guess he can ignore a court summons, but then he can never enter the UK again, which he might want to do at some point.
What has trust go to do with anything. Apple cannot pay them due to sanctions. There is nothing to indicate they don't want to pay them, they are just legally not allowed to do so.
A: You think we should call the ambulance? B: Nah, I didn't even touch it, and it's probably nothing anyway.
"Refused medical treatment"
Can you recommend a good alternative? Can be a paid one, but I can't find anything good.
Not that it matters either way but they didn't remove the clause, they just moved it from the introduction to the closing statement. Which clickbait articles all reported as "removed".
But it was always meaningless anyway.
Because if a poor person living in the projects dies of starvation? Oh, that's fine. That's a feature, not a bug.
What's "the projects" in this context? I'm not a native English speaker and have seen this used in similar contexts but I don't know what it means. Translation fails me, I know what the word means but it clearly has some different usage here.
Same with all cryptocurrencies having a "white paper", as if it was anything other than marketing crap formatted like a scientific paper.
The false result is from some unrelated gender detection tool that has nothing to do with the app. Nothing here indicates the actual app makes the same error.
The post is basically saying "this thing doesn't work because I tried something else and it didn't work".
The article was updated, this was fake news. There are no popups while driving.
It was all based on someones Tweet, which either made it up or was confused.
Since it's end to end encrypted, Ente just sees some raw bytes, it has no way to tell if what you uploaded is an image or not. So in practice it supports whatever the client can display, so your browser for the web version.
