The account’s discovery raises questions on just how many bots are operating on X

I have yet to encounter an actual user of the platform X in the real world.

What then will they use to train it?

I think the key point is ownership. If the house is owned by an equity firm, even if it’s occupied it still counts as a house which could instead be owned by, well, homeowners.

I do, friend. I do.

KOTTO brand with magnetic base. The arms and base are very sturdy.

How do I hold the wire, iron, solder and the board if I only have two hands?

This! I found a nice set of “helping hands” and they’re… really helpful!

As others have mentioned, a trusted 3rd party signs the correct key so your browser can check the key itself.

However, it should also be noted that your browser must have a list of trusted 3rd parties and their certificates used for signing in order to perform this check. It’s entirely possible to modify this list yourself. Some examples include:

• executing your own MITM style “*attack” in order to intercept and analyze local https traffic
• corporate network inspection and monitoring, where a gateway does the above for all devices on the network which have a CA cert pre-installed through some policy

So while it’s possible for trusted 3rd parties to issue valid certificates to bad actors, it’s also possible to add anyone (you, your employer, or some bad actors) to the trusted parties list.

Thank you kind internet stranger!

Step 2 has never been very clear to me and this diagram doesn’t seem to explain it either.

• Do you touch the tip of the solder to the iron, the pin, or the pad?

• Do you push the tip of the solder down into the pad, draw it up along the pin, or pull it away as it melts?

• Why does the solder sometimes flow onto the iron instead of staying on the pad?

This is another one of those situations where for them (and every other company with access to similar content) the upside is just too much money to ignore.

What is the downside? Lost customers? No problem, they’ll charge the remaining customers more for new premium features based on the newly trained models. Also if they didn’t develop those features in the first place, a competitor would have pulled away customers anyways.

Fines from some government for the egregious violation of a TBD law relating to AI that doesn’t even exist yet? Lol, just the cost of business.

And policy changes? Who actually believes they’ll discard the model parameters they’ve already spent presumably millions of dollars training?

I mean, yeah, exactly. Keep in mind scammers are targeting vulnerable people. Granted I don’t see how such a feature will work on my grandmother’s flip phone.

It might be a good feature for the elderly as long as it’s local and optionally enabled (especially if it can be enabled only for unknown callers).

Yes, I understand you would never really know if it’s not always enabled. But then again, you currently don’t know if anything similar isn’t already enabled.

For other users, again potentially useful if it’s opt in. However, many people (myself included) simply don’t answer the phone anymore unless it’s a caller we already know. I use Google’s call screening feature for any other caller not in my contact list already, and I would estimate about 1 in 20 or 5% of such calls I receive aren’t spam (marketing or fraud). Of those non-spam calls, the majority are appointment reminders I don’t need.

So would I turn this feature on? No, I don’t have a need. Could it be beneficial for the elderly? Yes, but probably not implemented in a way where it would actually be effective.

How does it verify the command is valid? Does it run what I enter?

If so, just give it an infinite loop followed by some attempt at a tar command:

while true; do :; done; tar -xyz

That may be, but I’m not sure that’s a problem for a communication platform. I remember one time when they moved the share screen button around and some less tech savvy users thought the feature was removed!

Teams has something like chat threads too. E.g. you can reply to a message in a channel and it groups all replies, and you can also focus that thread if you want. But I agree it isn’t hidden “off the main topic” quite like slack threads.

I can’t say I’ve run into those issues with the new teams. Worst I’ve experienced is the app freezing during a call, which has happened twice in the last year or so.

Unpopular opinion I guess, but I think Teams is actually pretty good at my workplace.

Isn’t it available on PS5?

Right? I was too lazy to double check, but yeah, the original claim seems absurd considering it’s missing at least the top 5 most populated countries representing nearly 4 billion people.

Buy it. The game is fun.
