Better yet you can configure gitignore globally for git. I do this mostly to avoid polluting repo ignore files with my editor specific junk but *.key and similar can help prevent accidents.

Right, but AI is not the only way they're doing the data collection.

It's cool, it's probably just self extracting. For convenience!

It probably won't be profitable in rural areas to begin with.

That's exactly what Half Life 3 will be.

But not from a knowledge engine. It makes sense if some rando just spouted off a date from the top of their head but this is the former world leader in knowledge capture and search.

Fair enough! I definitely read this around the time 5g was coming around but apparently I was misinformed.

IIRC, 5g is a much nicer generation for the carriers than for consumers. It can be more easily deployed with microcells on light poles vs requiring the tall cell towers. There's ultra-wideband, which is definitely faster, but plain 5g is roughly the same, just easier to roll out.

I microwaved my phone and the battery level hasn't gone down at all since.

These situations are almost always self-inflicted. If someone else hacked Google Cloud this badly then you'd likely have heard it from them first. And they probably would have done something significantly more destructive if their goal was harming Google reputation.

Unprecedented only means there's no precedent. This just hasn't happened before at this scale.

 

For a search company I can't believe how terrible the Android app search is. I can't even search "bank" for my banking apps, and there doesn't really seem to be any metadata except for the title that goes into the search. Which is absolutely ridiculous given how many companies name their apps something cReAtIvE like "home" or "Resideo" or "Smart Hq." I just want to search GE for the damn GE app. Or "thermostat" for Resideo. Surely there's something beyond surface level here because obviously this is an extensively solved problem. How is there not metadata or description searching at minimum? My only guess is fear of abuse but Google has definitely dealt with that for their entire existence and up until recently, managed to handle it fine.

 

Until now I've avoided almost everything to do with combat so I guess this is my introduction.

 
 
 

I just wanted to binge on some Skittles like it's 1995.

 

Bonus meme that didn't fit my vision as well:

 
 

I just want to open a box without tearing it to pieces.
