  • I don’t have snippets set up for languages I’ve never touched before.

    But copilot sucks. ChatGPT went super downhill. Claude is alright. If I know the language then it’s not that helpful. But if I don’t, or I don’t know the algorithm, then yeah, it’s super helpful.

  • Flaw in Kia’s web portal let researchers track, hack cars
  • In January 2023, they published the initial results of their work, an enormous collection of web vulnerabilities affecting Kia, Honda, Infiniti, Nissan, Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Genesis, BMW, Rolls Royce, and Ferrari—all of which they had reported to the automakers. For at least half a dozen of those companies, the web bugs the group found offered at least some level of control of cars' connected features, they wrote, just as in their latest Kia hack. Others, they say, allowed unauthorized access to data or the companies' internal applications. Still others targeted fleet management software for emergency vehicles and could have even prevented those vehicles from starting, they believe—though they didn't have the means to safely test out that potentially dangerous trick

    So not just Kia then.

    Mozilla faces a privacy complaint over Firefox's tracking
  • They chose not to make this feature opt-in because they know that nobody in their right mind would opt into it

    Nobody would opt into it because like your OP said, there’s an astroturfing campaign to make sure that people completely misunderstand what the feature is and what it does.

    When everyone around you lies to you and tells you that seatbelts are “unsafe” and then the Feds come in and say “no they’re not”, you’re still gonna believe everyone around you even if they’re patently false. Hence forcing it so people see there isn’t a problem.

  • Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops: Digital IDs make it tempting to leave your driver’s license at home — but that’s a dangerous risk.
  • The MyColorado FAQ explicitly states that an officer cannot take your phone, even if they think your digital ID is fraudulent. This whole article is a ton of fear mongering. Digital IDs do not require you to give your phone to anyone, they do not require you to unlock (unless it’s a state specific app), and even if its a state specific app the cops aren’t allowed to take it anyway.

  • How Discord Reduced Websocket Traffic by 40%
  • Clearly didn’t read the article. Also discord has consistently posted fantastic tech blogs and led the industry in certain segments, no matter if you hate their locked ecosystem or not. This is a programming forum, at least read the article and discuss its merits.

  • As far as I know, corporations are generally unable to raise prices enough to make the price difference terrible for the consumer. E.g. invisible prices (taxes) are more effective on a company because companies can’t change their visible prices by much.

  • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy
  • You tried three in person places and then went straight to Amazon? Why not trying to buy directly from the manufacturer? You clearly didn’t try at all. Ignoring the fact that there are still plenty of other retail stores, you didn’t even try the online shops of any of your retail stores.
