I know that there is a large difference between CAD and general 3D modeling, but I've designed all my custom 3D printed parts in Blender and have had zero issues with fitment or scaling.

The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.

Then it still doesn't matter. If an identified source gives information that isn't verifiable, it's still not actionable.

I don't care who it is, they give the information, then authorities verify it. If it comes up verified, there you go.

I already have it on hand.

I mean, lack of consensus notwithstanding, the logic tree should be pretty simple;

• Employer demands secure device
  • Employee has one personally and is willing to use it for work
    • Employer allows use of personal device
      • Problem solved
    • Employer isn't comfortable with BYOD, provides a device
      • Employee accepts the new device
        • Problem solved
      • Employee doesn't accept the device, can't do their job, is fired
        • Problem solved
  • Employee either doesn't have one, or refuses to use their own
    • Employer provides one
      • Problem solved
    • Employer refuses to provide one
      • Employee realizes the company sucks, quits
        • Problem solved
      • Employer gets shitty about it, fires the employee, employee sues and easily wins
        • Problem solved
• updated for more scenarios

Reasonable to allow only secure devices for work: Yes

Reasonable to expect the employee to provide such a device: No

Work should only be done on company hardware (including auth). Especially if they're going to be that concerned about security.

"Orange man with small hands does another illegal thing, this might be the end"

It never is. Fuck you to every sensationalistic "news" outlet that continues to post the same artcle with differnt herbs and spices for the 10,000th time.

He's a douchebag. We all know already. Shut the fuck up about it unless he's in jail or dies. Then shut the fuck up about his dumbass kids. I don't want to start hearing about them for the next 40 years after I'm finally rid of their asshole father.

Usually they just over-pay for their computer because you can't really buy a system without Windows pre-installed (unless you build it).

I have so many computers that came with Windows installations that I never even booted into.

I understand the vector, I'm just saying that maybe if people had conducted themselves responsibly, this wouldn't be an issue.

Hiding behind a moniker to do things you would normally be shunned is bad for everyone. It allows trolls to thrive, reduces or removes the impetus for broader social change/evolution (offline, that is), and fosters echo chambers full of people who have zero responsibility to regulate what they say for the sake of sanity (because fuck it, who's gonna call them on their bullshit, right? And even if someone does, "they're" not being judged, "their profile" is, so they can separate themselves from any criticism without doing any self-reflecting).

If you want to post something (text, art, etc) and you have to stop and think about your reputation, that's a good thing. It means you should either not do something stupid, or you should stand behind your actions, and give support to others to do/say that thing.

The other option is to post behind a fake name knowing that there are no consequences, and just call it a day (which is why the opinion of the average post is so easily dismissed at "some random person on the Internet").

And if you really do need anonymity (because the thing your discussing is super difficult or dangerous for you)... maybe don't fucking have that conversation in a public discord channel?

criminals could use that kinda data for blackmail.

Maybe... don't say shit on the internet that would embarrass you if associated with your real name?

Who uh... cares? The information is publicly available, that's how it was scraped... Who would /buy/ this?

And what would they do with the knowledge that Fartknocker72 posted sonic slash fanfics?

... vivaldi... affected [in] some way

Yes, but also; https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockers/

When he was forced to actually buy it (instead of just being a memelord), I immediately thought he would try to tank it (to the ends of whatever money juggling bullshit that rich people get up to).

Stories like this aren't doing much to change my mind.

Didn't say it was the only way, just the best way. Most effective attacks are still against humans, not computers.

In no particular order;

• Detecting "installed" software is iffy. Linux can have all kinds of things running on it that aren't "installed" as-such (same as Windows with portable EXEs, Linux has AppImage/etc). Excepting things like that, you can detect installed apps through the package managers (apt/pkg/yum/snap/etc).
• OS updates in Debian-likes and Redhat-likes are controllable out of the box, but I'm not familiar with a way to prevent a user from doing them (other than denying them root access, which might make it hard for them to use the system, depending on what they need to do).
• I've had a lot of good results with OpenVPN.
• lol antivirus. Not saying Linux doesn't get viruses, or that there arent antiviruses for Linux, but the best way to avoid getting them is still to just avoiding stupid shit. Best thing I can offer is that if you have some kind of centralized storage, check that for compromised files frequently, and keep excellent backups. And make sure your firewalls and ACLs don't suck.

Well, considering the speed of your responses, and your obsession with making excuses for shitty software, I'm guessing you're and LLM, so I'm gonn start ignoring you too. Good luck surviving the hype phase.

If I can't use the LLM by prompting it the same way I'd prompt one of my colleagues, then it's not a skill issue; It's shitty LLM. I don't care if it's the input embedder, training data, or the guy who didn't bother properly building a model that didn't just spit out bullshit.

If an employee gave me this quality, I'd get rid of them. Why would I waste my time on a shit coder, artificial or otherwise?

An interesting theory, except I know exactly how to do everything I've ever asked an LLM about. I would never trust one of these things to generate useful copy/code, I just wanted to see what it could do. It's been shit 100% of the time. Never even gotten a useful function out of it.

Also "skill issue" is a lazy response. Try reading the post before you reply next time.

Good, fuck 'em. Stop ressurecting dead people with shitty inaccurate software hacks.
