Remote access giant TeamViewer says Russian spies hacked its corporate network
  • TeamViewer sold out long ago, formed a new company (AnyDeak), fooled us all, sold out again, and there's still people trying to use the same business plan.

    There's zero money being spent on security, this is pure profit extraction.


  • Texas Secessionsts win GOP backing for independence vote: 'Major step'
  • Texas already owns all its oil, including ocean mineral rights. This was part of the terms of statehood.

    They were allowed to keep their unallocated lands and mineral rights in order to pay off their debts and become a state, rather than the United States assuming the debt.

    This turned out to be a huge financial boon for the state and continues to be.

  • Texas Lt. Governor says state should have put Ten Commandments in schools before Louisiana
  • I don't understand how people don't see this for what it is. It's a political response to drag queen story time and spicy books at the school library.

    Who knows where it will end, I'd prefer it if everyone stopped using children to further their agenda.

  • Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO
  • Your premium is 116 EUR per month, plus the taxes people pay -- which are much higher in those countries.

    You have also traded your freedom.

    The UK is currently talking about banning tobacco entirely in the name of reducing health costs despite it being a part of many cultures ceremonies and traditions. New York is still trying to control soda sizes in the name of public health. Canada now offers suicide as an option for people who would have a long (and costly) treatment with low probability of improving health.

    Pretty soon you're setting a death age because old people use most of the healthcare. They make a Star Trek TNG episode about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_a_Life_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

  • Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths
  • There are some real Elon haters out there. I think they're ugly as sin but I'm happy to see more people driving vehicles with all the crazy safety features, even if they aren't perfect.

    You're in control of a massive vehicle capable of killing people and destroying property, you're responsible for it.

  • Down the rabbit hole?
  • Hold in there between the movie and the first season. Showtime realized it was a nerd show not softcore and sold it off to the SciFi channel when it was in it's prime. That's where it really blossomed.

    There's a lot to watch, rewatch and watch again in this series. Long running jokes, MacGyver references, long and short story arcs and while it does raise some morality and political issues it does it in a way that makes you think rather than beating you over the head with the writers preference.

  • Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments
  • Yeah, it turns out that politicians in both parties are garbage people pandering to the masses.

    Instead of voting along party lines people need to vote for real people that can act like adults and actually govern. Most of our government officials are now too busy passing meaningless resolutions, performing the same study that's popular in all the other cities, or busy on social media pandering to vocal minorities.

  • Twelve years after the death of Steve Jobs, the cracks are starting to appear at Apple
  • It's one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.

    It's another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.

    I didn't like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add "value".

  • Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments
  • Do you really think the concerns about encampments are all from rent seeking landlords?

    Here in Minneapolis it's the number of murders, gang violence (territory), rape, and human trafficking.

    Second tier issues are overdoses, fires, sanitation (which doesn't sound like much until you see the people with fingers and toes rotting off), and crime rates increasing as they try to make enough money to feed their drug habits.

    It's a very complex issue. Much more complex than "the landlords are upset people aren't paying rent".
