Yeah, that sounds correct

No I know AI companies are doing that, I just don’t think they would be making gifs about it.

But there’s a Tom Hanks movie that came out a few years ago where in the beginning of the movie he lives in a bunker because the UV index outside is so high the sunlight is basically radioactive, and he’s building a robot and he uses a machine to chop the spines off of books to feed them into a scanner to train the robot brain.

That all takes place in the very beginning and then he leaves the bunker with the robot and some shit happens. But that’s what I thought this gif was from.

Is this gif from that tom hanks movie?

Can you recommend some trustworthy hardware?

I know gl.inet is probably best for routers, but are any of the mainstream brands more trustworthy than others? TP-Link, Ubiquiti, etc.? I recently got a Zyxel, are those okay?

He says as he continues to launch surveillance drones without asking anybody if they’re okay with that…

Yeah, duh

At this point it should be claimed by the state and turned into a public utility…

Holy shit. I mean minus points for storing all your company’s data in OneDrive and just kinda trusting Microsoft, but also, holy shit is that fucked up on Microsoft’s part. Literally telling people “you’re good till your subscription ends” and then surprising them with “jk, we deleted all your data.”

And then this asinine corpo-speak response:

Microsoft wrote that the original offers were “retired to streamline our grant offerings and simplify our grant portfolio,” adding, “We strongly advised our nonprofit customers and partners to transition to a different Microsoft 365 offer for nonprofits before their renewal date to avoid disruption and data loss.”

No they fucking didn’t!

That is so fucked up.

I actually have a marble track that automatically syncs with my hard drive to back up all my data in a series of binary pits that either do or don’t contain a marble

That doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t happen in this quarter.

From my understanding, which is very limited, race conditions are more an issue with concurrent programming. Parallel computing uses separate processor cores for each task so there’s less reliance on stack machines. But I guess each core still shares the memory, so maybe it still happens. Like I said, my understanding is limited. Just use rust.

Yeah, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen…

Sorry, I don’t think I’m in your state :( I’ll still try it though

Honestly, if someone’s gotta control the world, I’d much prefer if it’s a social worker…

Then the process should happen on the phone locally and not by connecting to their servers which run the processes and then send commands back to the device through your phone…

It is bad design. The entire system control could be on a microcontroller inside the machine itself. There’s no reason to route data through a cloud server just for basic functionality (other than greedy data farming, of course).

That’s a single point of failure, and not even very reliable, for something that provides a basic necessity to a living being.

That being said, any pet owner who relies on an automated feeder and doesn’t check it regularly to make sure it’s working properly, is neglecting their pets. They share a portion of the responsibility here.

Still, I wish products marketed for pets were regulated better to ensure safety.

They should have made better decisions, but if they paid a middleman to outsource their storage to third company and the middleman goes out of business without having any terms with the storage provider regarding the data rights of their clients, then that sounds like somebody committed fraud and should face consequences

Yeah, but relying on a shady outsourced cloud storage middleman provider was kind of a terrible decision

Yeah, I was like how is this even a question
