I believe the reporting was that Apple tried to haggle over price and CXMT said no deal

Unironically, that’s the future scam Altman & friends desire

Indeed. Using AES-ECB has been considered bad practice for over a decade. Modern alternatives such as AES-GCM or AES-CCM are readily available for most popular programming languages

Wikimedia definitely doesn’t need your money and hasn’t for years

The hackers might as well start charging a monthly recurring subscription

It’s already here unfortunately. For example, you can now lease a PlayStation 5

It’s just a matter of time before they convert the “Lifetime Pass” to a subscription. Absolutely nothing prevents them from following the Adobe playbook and declaring that they’ll be dropping support/updates for the “lifetime edition”. Future feature updates & security fixes will then be gated behind a $29.99 monthly subscription

if your nas supports nfs, I would recommend using that; nfs on macOS works a lot better than the smb implementation

Dead on arrival. Especially so if it runs android and invasively slurps up all your personal data for “training”. Now where have we seen this before?

Oh wow not going to lie I’m kind of jealous. I’d pull the trigger on 10 gbps in a heartbeat. I’m in CA and crapcast offered me overpriced 1 gbps down & 40 mbps up. Yes, you read that right, 40 mbps up in 2026. Didn’t have much of a choice so I bought it. I have my own homelab, download a lot of 4k linux isos, and completely saturate my both download & upload bandwidth around the clock

Unfortunately no surprise here. His boss is a known Russian associate

It’s more durable than you’d expect https://youtu.be/sQ56ve39l2I

Most are probably ghost jobs. Companies have gotten in the habit of creating fake job postings to fool investors into thinking that they’re still healthy/growing because line must go up. Companies report these numbers to the gov which then makes decisions based on bad information. IMO this practice should be illegal and companies should be fined for posting fake positions

Ah yes you’re correct, I misread the Macrumors article, have fixed the post title

Comedic gold. Jon Prosser has always been a hack job who makes stuff up, gets butthurt when proven wrong, and then disappears until he conjures up more fake news. He’s also a terrible presenter and his videos are cringe. Ironic that the one time he’s right about something he also gets busted for breaking the law

Can’t wait until we’re forced to access the internet exclusively through starlink!

This perfectly illustrates America’s 2-tiered justice system: one for the wealthy and one for the little people. If I torrent copyrighted material, I risk fines/jail-time. If a big corporation like meta does it, then it’s allegedly “fair use”. To be clear, what OpenAI is requesting isn’t remotely close to the original intended purpose of fair use. Worst part is that small/independent creators will (if they aren’t already) be most adversely impacted by such selective application of copyright law

I see this being useful for senior/assisted living care. This isn’t a job many people want to do, doesn’t pay well, and requires ungodly amounts of patience
