If you just bought a smart TV on Black Friday or plan to buy one for Cyber Monday tomorrow, the FBI wants you to know a few things. They don't have automatic access?

And I still can't buy JUST a TV/monitor.
Physical Power On/Off button
Basic physical, easily accessible, control buttons
NO TV tuner
No Ethernet
No smart card port
No chromecast/netflix/amazon/ other streaming service
No Wifi
Yes to image customisation (contrast/color/brightness...)
You know, make me a 43 inch monitor.

Quote: Mr Richards started the society after seeing the "same mistakes over and over again" and hoped he would find half a dozen people who felt the same way.
"I didn't find half a dozen people," he said on his website.
Well, he can't have looked very hard.
The APIHNA newsgroup (alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe) was still going strong, at that time, and was even one of my favourite haunts.
I never heard of this guy, though.
I still host The APIHNA World Dictionary[^] (the only English language reference you're guaranteed to never need) on my personal site.
(You can tell how long ago I built the template for those pages by the monitor size they're designed for.)

A massive database storing tens of millions of SMS text messages, most of which were sent by businesses to potential customers, has been found online. The 'S' is not for secure
"One table alone had tens of millions of messages, many of which were message recipients trying to opt-out of receiving text messages." Well, I'm worried

Microsoft has been recently experimenting with Rust to improve the safety of their software. "In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg."
"A very conservative estimate for Microsoft is each issue discovered in the field costs $150,000." Then if they keep issuing Windows patches as they have lately, they could go bankrupt in about a million patches?

What if you could manipulate the facial features of a historical figure, a politician, or a CEO realistically and convincingly using nothing but a webcam and an illustrated or photographic still image? I don't see this being used for awfulness. Not at all.

If someone is running Linux at work, chances are pretty damn good that it's approved by the IT department. This is a pointless feature.

If it was a feature for Ubuntu/etc you'd be right in most cases. Kali linux isn't a daily driver distro; it's a collection of hacking tools used by pen-testers (and blackhats). Outside of businesses where that's a normal part of operations seeing the Kali logo should be a red flag.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

IOW, the crack is a crock.

Nearly all major technology companies are saying the same thing. Kubernetes is the next big thing in computing. "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
