They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.

They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).

They don’t rely on the server to sound an already scheduled alarm but they do rely on the server to set the next one for a repeating alarm.

You don’t for the one time codes because there is a standard that is supported by many authenticator apps.

App based 2FA is better. Either the app generates a time based code that you enter into the site or the site sends a push notification to the app asking you to verify the login attempt.

Passkeys are good too as they replace the password completely and leave the 2FA part to the device.

It’s better than nothing and some people would really struggle to do other types of 2FA.

I find this very odd because Azure DevOps is hardly ever down in our experience.

This is the same as all the games that advertise themselves as having no ads but they do have ads for in app purchases.

For some reason they don’t consider those as being ads.

Those messages are not aimed at everyone passing by. They are aimed at people already considering buying a truck and hope to influence their decision.

Microsofts documentation is also increasingly just outright _wrong_:

There used to be a spot on joke about Microsoft documentation taking the piss out of the fact that it was always 100% accurate but at the same time pretty useless. That joke hasn’t been relevant for a while.

It’s so frustrating trying to find out how to do something in one of the admin centres for M365 and you find a Microsoft document with exactly what you need in it only to find out that the UI has changed and the steps don’t work now. Did they move it? Did they remove it? Who knows?

Damn if that’s the case, my paranoia is gonna go overdrive.

Btw, has anyone here actually got hacked? I feel like the media always overexaggerates “hacking” and its mostly people just using weak passwords (user error), not really hacking.

It’s more likely to be that they found out your login credentials, yes.

They might find a site with crappy security where they can try many usernames and passwords without getting blocked or they might actually hack the site and get the password list.

Having a strong password, not reusing passwords and enabling MFA goes a long way towards protecting against those scenarios.

The AI Fix podcast had a piece about how someone let an AI agent do the coding for them but had a disaster because he gave it access to the production database.

Very funny.

So when mum calls to ask if we need milk, she’sa villain!

It’s all about levels.

It’s entirely different to have a 30 second conversation about picking up milk compared to joining a work meeting.

Especially when that work meeting is a video call that is distracting the driver (they are looking at the phone in the picture).

There are definitely those that would ban all phone calls when driving.

They were proposing that the OP buy the linked cup as it can contain more coffee than the machine can brew.

Goat’s cheese and caramelised red onion is a good topping. The goat’s cheese doesn’t replace the mozzarella though.

I’m not sure that Wensleydale would work though.

It also does it sometimes if you’re on a VPN.

Also, most people don’t even have a static ip address so they might have banned a different location altogether and the banned ip address moved.

I use it to do things at the same time as other things. I can add something to the shopping list when I’m cooking or turn on the fan when I’m getting ready for bed without stopping what I’m doing to click buttons. I find that it’s really good for things that can’t easily be automated but you also can’t (or don’t want to) put on a physical button.

I actually use Alexa as I haven’t had time to investigate HA voice control but the principle is the same.

It’s training itself to pass those mouse based “I’m human” checks that some sites use.

They don’t have Edge installed so they are being requested to get it so that they can open the link.
