I don't think you are being very fair here, she's a fucking idiot.

It really is, very disappointing. IMO any device that is hard wired onto your network should be accessible from that environment. Not to mention the security impacts of having an IOT device that's hard wired and doesn't support VLAN's.

It's also annoying that if their cloud services go down, you can't manage the device that's one your own network.

So, some sort of external API that you can interact with on your own network would be awesome. However we've been asking for it for ages.

Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.

These are my principles and if you don't like them, I have others.

Is there not a comedian called Zoos Kimpner? Could be a case of mistaken identity. πŸ˜‰

Absolutely this. Reading is becoming a lost art, and I think we will all be poorer for it, sooner or later.

It's a deep subject, and I'm glad someone has finally delved into it at such a level of detail.

The existence of this video in which a fake AI George Floyd is shown living a happy life because he "took Comply" is sufficient reason for me to destroy all AI.

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?*

The lurching horror of our national immigration narrative is on full display today. Even two years ago, I believe almost all media would have framed the victims of the Afghan leak as allies to whom we have a duty of care. In the Mail today, they are β€˜migrants’ being β€˜smuggled’ in to the country.

Just watched ep. 8 of Andor.

Filmed in 2023, but plot revolving around the Empire sending stormtroopers to a city, deliberately provoking demonstrations, and then ensuring that violence ensues as an excuse for imposing military rule/occupation doesn't exactly look subtle right now..

ChatGPT Lost a Chess Game to an Atari 2600 And on the 'Beginner' difficulty level, too.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.

ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

sometimes when I'm sad I go on my photos from seven years ago from a holiday to Portugal when I saw two stuffed lions who look like Neil and Christine Hamilton

Whoever is writing it needs to learn how to use punctuation, capital letters and construct sentences. Also, they need to stop telling absolute whoppers.

Meme. Top panel Boycie saying β€˜Come on Marlene’, β€˜Large Cognac Michael’ and β€˜I’ve got a lovely Skoda on the forecourt’. Middle panel a man looking haunted. Bottom panel a therapist asking β€˜how long have you been hearing Boycies?’

It's the first time I've ever seen this movie, and I have to say that watching along with one of the foremost legal minds, and the @barristersecret.bsky.social has been delightful.
