  • This AI Startup "Copied" an Open-Source Project and Got Half a Million Dollar Funding by Y Combinator

    Jump

  • I simply can't wrap my head around the thought process behind launching a clusterfuck like this. Y Combinator probably didn't do their due diligence and simply rode the fading AI Bubble, so I can at least understand how the funding might have been approved.

    But actively leaving your $250,000+/year job to team up with some questionable choices to basically fork two OS projects, change the discord links and generate an illegal licence for that shit show, all while proudly stating, publicly, "dawg i chatgpt'd the license, anyone is free to use our app for free for whatever they want. if there's a problem with the license just lmk i'll change it. we busy building rn can't be bothered with legal" when they are made aware of the fact.

    This is absolutely insane, sounds like someone was about to get fired and decided to use some personal relations and fresh graduates to somehow successfully cash in one last time with absolutely no regard of even the basics. Pretty wild that those guys even managed to figure out how to found a Startup. Probably asked ChatGPT for instructions there, as well.

  • Yeah, that's one of those tropes I hate pretty much everywhere, but (old) Star Trek is great enough to look past it.

    They are skilled and professional. But how incompetently was the playbook written, if pretty much everyone can come up with something previously not derived spontaneously, if it's that easy?

  • Transparent solar cell technology could allow smartphones and cars to self-charge

    Jump

  • Great points.

    Regular solar cells with better efficiency are already are thing, even in a compact travel format or as a novelty part of some electric cars. Those are cheap to produce, but still aren't practical at all, unless we're talking about something like a 2m² solar panel to charge a phone in a somewhat reasonable time on a very sunny day in an off-grid situation.

    Using transparent solar cells additionally to regular ones in buildings instead of windows is pretty much the only reasonable application I can think of right now, but with a visible transmittance of 20% that's kinda farfetched as well.

  • Donald Trump a de facto Russian asset, FBI official he fired suggests

    Jump

  • Yup. A variation of the quote (basically capitalists instead of American businessmen) is commonly attributed to Lenin instead of Khrushchev. But that, too, can't be verified and is said to be fake.

  • Engineers Gave a Mushroom a Robot Body and Let It Run Wild

    Jump

  • Instead of waiting for a zombie fungus to evolve into something that can infect humans, they decided to cut out the middleman and made cyborg mushrooms.

  • Anyone with problems with duckdns DynDNS?

    Jump

  • Buying a domain. There might be some free services that, similar to DuckDNS in the beginning, work reliably for now. But IMHO they are not worth the potential headaches.

  • Anyone with problems with duckdns DynDNS?

    Jump

  • DuckDNS pretty often has problems and fails to propagate properly. It's not very good, especially with frequent IP changes.

  • What's with the downvotes in here?

    Jump

  • Random guy with no affiliation to crypto and only a vague understanding of monero from another instance here, who saw the post on /all.

    Most people stumbling over posts like this probably see yet another shady cryptocurrency and aren't interested or even actively dislike it, resulting in downvotes. Calling people "grudgeful bitfags" and "overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers" probably doesn't help all that much either, neither do comments that attribute a general disinterest to a "very successful psyop by the CIA to make crypto look like a scam".

  • Damn, that's wild. Cheers for sharing!

  • US: Alaska man busted with 10,000+ child sex abuse images despite his many encrypted apps

    Jump

  • I have an understanding of the underlying concepts. I'm mostly interested in the war driving. War driving, at least in my understanding, implies that someone, a state agency in this case, physically went to the very specific location of the suspect, penetrated their (wireless) network and therefore executed a successful traffic correlation attack.

    I'm interested in how they got their suspects narrowed down that drastically in the first place. Traffic correlation attacks, at least in my experience, usually happen in a WAN context, not LAN, for example with the help of ISPs.

    Jump

  • Sounds interesting, got any links for further reading on that?

    I can't quite connect the dots between wifi/internet traffic spikes when IRC is so light on traffic that it's basically background noise and war driving.

  • Need more positive masculinity. Like what you see? Ask about it and learn from them

    Jump

  • Nice message, but the thought of the existence of a competitive scene of contractors specializing in mounting TVs is hilarious. Also, that mounting plate is crooked af.

    “Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update

    Jump

  • Windows, as any operating system, is best run in a context most useful to the user and appropriate for the user's technical level.

    • Need to run Windows apps/games and aren't afraid to tinker around if and when something doesn't work as expected or your software simply isn't supported? WINE/Proton.
    • Need to run mostly light Windows apps and don't want to tinker around? VM.
    • Need to run Windows apps/games that don't rely on Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat, want direct hardware access and aren't afraid to tinker around, especially if you only have one GPU, and when something doesn't work as expected? KVM
    • Need to run any Windows app/game without things constantly breaking or the need to tinker around and staying on top of things? Dual-Boot from different disks, utilize LUKS/FDE and be done with it.

  • Best way to attach phone to bike?

    Jump

  • I do, there's a whole team behind that channel and I've linked the second revision of their test. The first revision had some issues and they've gone ahead and fixed those to present a truly competent and unbiased testing.

    Personally, I'd still treat those as suggestions and, depending on your use case (especially considering convenience of setup and the need for special phone cases) and budget, there are a lot of cheaper options that work perfectly fine, as well. I've got a 10 bucks no-name screw clamp style phone mount on my city bike and it's been rock solid. Wouldn't trust it in a downhill setting, though.

  • Basically all you need to know about different phone mounts/styles and how they hold up stabilitywise even in rough conditions is presented in this excellent FortNine Video.

  • People Ask Why Some Root Their Device and For Me This is Why

    Jump

  • Why do you keep stating blatantly false info as facts when it is obvious that you're knowledge of the topic at hand is superficial at best?

    In this comment thread alone you've stated that:

    • to avoid "Google Android", one should use Lineage OS (?)
    • Apps on Lineage are some kind of separated on Lineage OS and not abandonware (??)
    • Lineage OS is not terrible for security, because you haven't found anything wrong with it besides that small little, insignificant detail of an unlocked bootloader (???)
    • DivestOS has "all the same issues" as GrapheneOS(????)

    Genuinely not trying to stir up shit, I'm curious. Why?

  • Very simple way to improve your privacy and security massively.

    Jump

  • It's great that it works for you and that you strive to spread your knowledge. Personally, I'm quite happy with my DNS filtering/uBlock Origin and restrictive browser approach and already employ alternatives where feasible in my custom use case.

    Thanks for your offer, though!
