Bingo. I was being more general in my response, but that is the more technical way of putting it.

First off, I’m by far no lawyer, but it was covered in a couple classes.

According to law as I know it, question 1 yes if there is no encryption, and question 2 no.

In reality, if you keep it for personal use, artists don’t care. A library however, isn’t personal use and they have to jump through more hoops than a circus especially when it comes to digital media.

But you raise a great point! I’d love to see a law library train AI for in-house use and test the system!

By gatekeeping I mean the use of digital methods to verify or restrict use of purchased copyright material after a sale such as Digital rights management, encryption such as CSS/AACS/HDCP, or obfuscation.

The whole “you didn’t buy a copy, you bought a license” BS undermines what copyright was supposed to be IMO.

Copyright has not, was not intended to, and does not currently, pay artists.

You are correct, copyright is ownership, not income. I own the copyright for all my work (but not work for hire) and what I do with it is my discretion.

What is income, is the content I sell for the price acceptable to the buyer. Copyright (as originally conceived) is my protection so someone doesn’t take my work and use it to undermine my skillset. One of the reasons why penalties for copyright infringement don’t need actual damages and why Facebook (and other AI companies) are starting to sweat bullets and hire lawyers.

That said, as a creative who relied on artistic income and pays other creatives appropriately, modern copyright law is far, far overreaching and in need of major overhaul. Gatekeeping was never the intent of early copyright and can fuck right off; if I paid for it, they don’t get to say no.

That’s a good litmus test. If asking/paying artists to train your AI destroys your business model, maybe you’re the arsehole. ;)

Not sure about this.

Unless you’re diverting resources from a sale, only when every single salesperson on the floor would otherwise be engaged with a customer, you’re not really wasting anyone’s time but your own. In fact, you may be honing their skills.

An empty sales flooris a statement of its self.

Good video. Nailed a lot of game behavior.

While true, I felt (if misguided) more comfortable with my data under California data protection laws than Saudi Arabia.

Pikmin Bloom too

Booooo. That sucks.

I was never into Pokemon before this app but this game was fun just finding new discoveries even in my own city.

I’m picking up on a strong bias by the articles used for citations. There’s not much wiggle room to not arrive to this conclusion like they were cherry picked. Most references are anti-nuclear in some way or another.

We closed down a 2.2GW plant. How much would that cost in solar? My google-fu says around $2 billion and a loooooot of land.

Meh, I’ve moved on. I was addicted to digg back in the day, but they’ll have to earn viewership back from me. Not impossible, but content, moderation, and monitization are going to be hard to perfect these days.

Digg killed digg IMO. They either learned a lesson, or it’s more of the same.

I do have a few outside. Probably not the best security-wise. Haha. Those are the first to get patched when one comes out.

At rough count I have 16 of those buggers. Appliances, switches, load meters, lights, etc. If I look harder, I’d probably find more. Yikes!

Even if it were fixable, it would be up to manufacturers to push updates. I doubt any really care enough.

Well… Shit.

There are so, so, so, many ESP32’s in not just my house, but practically everyone I know.

There outta be fines for this BS.

Welp, guess I’m digging out my complete SG1 collection tonight.

I have to watch them all, you say? No, honey, this is important work I’m doing here. 😎

Ahh I deleted my comment because there was better advice, but you snuck in a response anyway.

My experience with carbon buildup was from a RX8 ages ago. Those were notorious and high RPM was one way of blowing out the gunk.

I also had to fix valve clearances on a Honda that caused carbon problems and pooched a O2 sensor.

Though “40,000 miles overdue” raises an eyebrow. Unrelated, I pooched an engine on a road trip once when a oil drain plug removed itself from service. Now that was a cloud. Ha!

Watched as much as I could stand. Man, does he draaaaag on.

Mars had a DB breach, 2.7 billion accounts, only for IOT devices.

Conflicting data: phone app doesn’t collect user data, but lo and behold, data collected anyway. Possibly direct from IOT devices.

SSID/pass screenshotted but official response said that was on separate server not involved.

Meh, don’t trust IOT, guys. Keep that crap on a vlan or second wifi. Man, this vid was painful to watch.

Ahh! You’re right! I got them mixed up!

Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.
