Privacy@Lemmy.world: Do browsers block websites from uploading data that could be used for fingerprinting like resolution, installed fonts, etc.?
  • And if you are going for anonymity on the web you will be sticking out like sore thumb if you block something. Being anonymous works best when you are hiding in the masses, what you want is alot of computers reporting a similar setup, then if is very hard to pinpoint who's browser belongs to who. A good example is never using the Tor browser in a maximized window, because then your screen resolution is an fingerprinting factor.

  • Privacy@Lemmy.world: Do browsers block websites from uploading data that could be used for fingerprinting like resolution, installed fonts, etc.?
  • I guess they could, but you will have to consider the purpose for getting meta data from the visitor. Most of the time it is just used for styling purposes to enhance your experience, blocking JS completely breaks alot of websites today's because they are often rendered using Js based front-end frameworks. Look for a JS blocking extension, try out what works for you and spend some extra time tweaking it for websites you visit often, then you don't have to rely on a specific browser.

  • "He couldn't even remember me": Trump has "severe memory issues," says author who interviewed him
  • To be fair, he must meet thousands of people in a day when he is doing events. Nobody remembers every npc, some people are just to dull, uninteresting or just fall into the background noise.

    With that said, given his age it is probably not wrong in that he has severe memory issues. In other news the sky is blue...

  • A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back
  • Why don't they just make it an app? The only problem with recall is that is us forced upon you through their operating system. There is obviously alot of data that Ms can mine from you by forcing this app through their OS, it is so blatantly obvious. The "we only store data locally" bullshit I don't believe for a second because then it would just be an app and they would probably not have bothered at all to make it.

  • Alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud for an easily frustrated boomer...
  • Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.

    But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem.. But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.

    With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.

  • See the Cybertruck's Steer-by-Wire System in Action (Including a Disturbing Lag)
  • Oh you are right of course, I am an idiot.

    I can see how that also can cause more damage as you will turn it even move within that split second where you don't get a reaction from the car. This steering system is stupid as hell.

  • Elon Musk ordered Nvidia to ship thousands of AI chips reserved for Tesla to X and xAI
  • Right? They haven't even built the infrastructure yet, why hog all the hardware from your other company. Also why is he wasting his time with twitter, it is going nowhere as opposed to Tesla and SpaceX that are doing, considering the circumstances, great but desperately needs his focus sooner rather than later.

    AI Takeover: 10 Jobs Humans Could Lose To Automation In The Next Three Years
  • Some of these are a real longshot. I'd wadger to say most of them even. Sure, some companies will try to do this. But in three years alot of those companies will realize that humans are very good at certain tasks and much more reliable than a superbot that will probably still be prone to hallucinations and also have issues with maintainance, because in the end, nobody can look at the code and say "oh here is a bug, I'll have that sorted by Thursday". Just look at Google, one of the most successful software companies in the world, they can barely figure out how to solve the issues with their ai search. They just blame it on being a new feature and have to manually block the ai from saying stupid shit. It has become this strange game of whack-em-all but instead of being harmless it is backed by these massive corporations that only care about their stock price going to the moon.

  • Felon Trump Just Escalated His Most Insane Lie About Biden
  • Are you guys ok over there? I know there is a political division in your country. But this is some kind of braveheart speech before starting an actual civil war. It can't be that bad, you are the richest country in the history of this planet what kind of reality is these idiots living in?

  • Teslas Can Still Be Stolen With a Cheap Radio Hack—Despite New Keyless Tech
  • Where I am from It is very common that people break in and only steal the loose valuables inside the car. Not the car itself. If you don't even have to crack a window i would imagine it is very enticing to do so and specialize in Teslas.. with that said, I can't magine Teslas are more prone to this and other brands. What makes Teslas a bigger target is that their fleet is large and use very similar components and tech. If you hack one, you can hack into alot of them.

    Apple Patent Hints At Foldable iPhone With Self-healing Screen
  • I don't know. I know some older midrange phones tried it out. I wonder if the main benefit is to heal the crease from the screen being unfolded or if it is to protection the softer screen surface. I hope it solves the former issue.

  • An investigation into Tesla's vehicles over seat belt issues has been closed
  • True, of course they have and shit happens. I guess I just felt justified after being told/implied Teslas issues are cosmetic only these are issues that again we're implied to be "solved". And then hit by, Tesla have THE safest car on the road, therefore.. again implied.. they never had any issues regarding the safety of the cars.

    The steering wheel is insane, was it a one-off?

    Thanks for your posts, nice to get some perspective on things 👍

  • An investigation into Tesla's vehicles over seat belt issues has been closed
  • Seatbelt completely detaching reported by, so far, 12 Tesla customers while using their car

    Volvo: "The front seat belt fastening cable may over time suffer from reduced strength under certain circumstances." (Not failing completely i assume)

    Very interesting how different companies handle recalls of similar issues. One seems to take responsibility and ownership of the situation.

    Tesla recalled more than 15,000 electric vehicles last year to fix the problems

    Tesla claim to be the safest car, yet they let this slip.

    Made a comment in jest/maybe bad taste like a week ago in the tesla community to the effect of "would be very on-brand for Tesla to have issues with the seatbelts. Got downvoted to hell and explained to me how tesla issues are only regarding fit and finish and they are THE safest car brand on the road today. Today I see this article...
