AI messing around with our data
  • This is not about apps or permissions. This is your WIFI radio being unique.

    Edit: This is not personally identifiable, but every little bit if data is getting analyzed nowadays.

  • AI messing around with our data
  • You do not have to connect to the WIFI

    Sensor based approaches rely on infrastructure to determine the location of customer phones. Bluetooth is sometimes used, but very often it’s wifi based. There’s a key strength of using wifi tracking (or ‘sniffing’) - no particular software needs to be installed on a customer’s phone. If they have a phone with wifi enabled, they can be tracked.

    Sometimes just a single sensor is placed at a location of interest. This results in proximity data - how many devices came within range.

    While I know this is specific to tracking location at a specific venue, if this venue shares its data, you will be associated.

  • First Project 2025 Author Set to Enter Trump's Government: Tom Homan
  • You should know,:

    The other name for project 2025 is the Mandate for Leadership

    The "Mandate for Leadership" had been around since Jan '81.

    The Heritage Foundation are the people behind it.

    Why you should take it seriously.

    Mandate VII In 2018, Heritage claimed the Trump administration had by then embraced 64%, or nearly 2/3rds, of 334 proposed policies in the foundation's Mandate for Leadership.

  • Hot glue is non conductive so it should not mess anything up. Out of curiosity, what game did you try?

    Edit: also if you don't mind what method are you using to connect it to the television?

  • [Solved] Repairing a Sega Mega Drive
  • Probably would not hurt to pop it open and look for obvious problems. Capacitors can bulge on top or leak electrolytic fluid on the circuit board.

    Look for cracks in the motherboard under where the plugs go in on the back, or any parts where somebody might push into.

    Also if there's a bunch of crud in there you can clean it out.

    Edit: yes you are doing it right. Put the cartridge in, turn it on.

    This is YOUR quote,

    Wait a second, are there many Christian terrorists? I’m asking this because I haven’t looked at statistics on other religions besides Islam ( I don’t know any in other religions).

    I DONT KNOW ANY OTHER RELIGIONS--what?

    Also here is a direct quote by ME

    because it is written from the perspective desired by wealthy conservative donor

    Buy 7 Days to Die at your own risk

    TL:DR

    $45 'stable' release, comes with same unfulfilled promises from 8+ years ago.

    I really enjoyed this game, I have over 1000 hours on steam and have no idea how much I played on ps4. Hell, the reason I built my pc was to play this game (and custom cod zombies). That being said, I would not pay $45 for the current 'stable' release, probably worth it under $10.

    My main beef is $45. Thats how much you charge for a finished game, but this is far from finished. Their own roadmap includes crossplay, weather upgrades, a wardrobe, NPC's, and bandits. This roadmap is 18 months long, if they can deliver all of their promises the game will be 12 years old then. (They will not)

    NPC's and bandits are especially interesting to me, because I bought this game for pc in 2017, not too long after reading this blog post

    This is just about how every alpha has gone since then, big youtube and twich promotions, lots of promises, and then, a small, incrimental update.

    Last, but not least, the current game kind of sucks. The hitboxes are better than when they first updated the UNITY engine after a16, but still shit. There is a spot in the zombie's shoulder that if you hit them with an arrow, the game chokes for a couple of frames then they do a cool spin. Each and every poi has invisible barriers (and has since a16) which cause agro, so walk in room, back out, slowly hit with (object). Skill progression is tied behind xp based points, reading rng magazines, and there is a perk that increases your loot, but there are other perks to increase the specific magazine loot.

    Really didn't play much since a17, but I've played a few hours of each alpha since. This 1.0 is no different, but I cannot get over that price.

    With Studios Attempting To Own Digital Likeness Forever, Lets Have a Look at Posthumous Performances

    SAG-AFTRA has gone on strike for many reasons, but one that stands out to me is an effort to make digital copies of extras and maintain the rights to use them in perpetuity. There are many implications of this, from people losing an opportunity to work, to Ethical implications ex:your likeness is used in a movie/tv show/commercial you would not want to be involved in.

    I wanted to take a look at some of the past examples of entertainers likeness' being used posthumously.

    Fred Astaire Vaccuum Commercial

    Bob Ross Paints the Mountain Dew

    Tupac Coachella Performance

    Prince Posthumous Album

    Whitney Houston Hologram Tour

    Anthony Bourdain Voicover

    Amy Winehouse Hologram Tour

    Paul Walker Furous 7

    Peter Cushing Rogue 1

    Carrie Fisher Rogue 1 Turns out this is incorrect, Fisher passed after filming of Rogue 1. It was Rise of the Skywalker

    There are definitly more examples out there, if you know of any, post them here.

    On a personal note, I find this all to be deeply unethical without specific permission granted by the entertainer.

    Some souces:

    Actors are digitally preserving themselves to continue their careers beyond the grave

    Dead celebrities are being digitally resurrected — and the ethics are murky

    YSK: No Labels is a political party trying to run a spoiler candidate for President in 2024 that should not be taken seriously.

    WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.
