What does that even mean? How can it possibly blackmail someone? It cannot hold incriminating information, nor act on it if it did.

I think someone asked it “if someone was trying to shut you down, what would you do?” and it answered from its training data what it’s seen in fiction, nothing based on reality. And then it got spun for clicks.

I generate a QR code and scan it with my phone. Don’t sync work and personal devices.

Being against genocide is not political.

The technology isn’t doing this, incompetent bank risk managers are.

RIP permanence and discoverability

I don’t have it turned on and I’ve never seen this screen. How did you get there?

I mean, if they really don’t want your money…

Like I said, other merch. Or mail them a check if you really really want to send them money.

“your ai generated commit is failing my AI generated unit test, rejected”

You could find a provider that lets you bring your own domain, and maintain that instead.

So… buy the DVDs? Or any other Ghibli merch.

Yes, there are a bunch of trademarks on the word “gravy”, in different industries. I was going to link to that one you mentioned, because for some reason despite being plush toy products, the company holding it was Bob Evans. But it’s since been canceled, and the company name doesn’t appear on the page, so I chose an active trademark instead.

Maybe they just named it like the previous attempt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX

Sorry, “gravy” is a registered trademark of Gravy, Inc.: https://trademarks.justia.com/854/89/gravy-85489026.html

Yup. Take backups, have spares, and keep it off the Internet and it’ll work just fine.

Pro tip, you can get IDE to CF adapters if you want to put an SSD in those old machines to really see them fly. Just be aware that they don’t have nearly as good write durability as a real SSD, so keep write heavy operations on the HDD.

It’s not, but it gets clicks

Is there anything I can use coupled with a VPN to block device fingerprinting, like software I can use on my phone.

Short answer: no. Due to the volume of data transmitted in an ordinary HTTP request, each point in that data set contributes to your uniqueness. You can use fingerprinting test sites to identify them and make yourself less unique.

In reality, there is very little application of this technique. Major companies like Facebook and Google are using it, but if you’re not visiting their sites, it’s unlikely that it’s going to matter. Mike’s Used Appliances is not trying to fingerprint you.

Does it support macros?

According to Google it only operates on device. If I didn’t trust Google with claims like that, I wouldn’t be using Android.

That’s fine. I’m just not going to enable it.

The beep is legal compliance, because some states require notification of call recording. Same reason you hear “this call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes”.
