Ah, some r/justfuckmyshitup goodness. That's a sub a miss from reddit.

Let's be honest, congress has been a group of self-serving ancients who would rather dig their heads in the sand than actually govern. I don't know that congress would step up here even in this case.

I do think that Biden would be forced to directly deal with the court and then that would create a constitutional crisis kind of mess that will make 2024 even more awful that it's already looking to be.

Hopefully Roberts understands that.

But why though? This is literally the only thing that the GOP and democrats agree on and it's a totally dysfunctional level of allegiance to Israel above any other nation. It doesn't make sense. Bibi is a total douche and they are clearly committing war crimes over there. Hamas sucks but should we really be standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel on this one?

Currently, Amazon advertises several "clothes hook hidden camera" products when users search for "bathroom spy camera," an Ars search found, but it's unclear if the spy cam at the center of this lawsuit is still available on Amazon.

Despite the lawsuit, they are still selling this crap.

It seems it is legal for cars https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/new-law-will-install-kill-switches-in-all-new-cars/ar-AASt1Th

And it's already in use for some https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-the-repo-man-can-remotely-shut-off-your-car-engine/

The problem is that there really isn't a line between business and politics. HPs support for Isreal or anything other political issue is not based on the issue itself but on how it impacts their bottom line. They did the math and determined that supporting Israel earned them better relationships with suppliers, politicians and important (i.e. large business customers). This gives them political capital that they use to limit oversight and regulations that would weaken their competitive position. Then they can continue being shitheads to their customers.

That's easy to say, but when every company doing this is also lobbying congress to basically allow them to build a monopoly and eliminate all alternatives, the choice is use our service or nothing. Which basically applies to the entire internet.

I may have missed this in the comments already but it is really important to note here that the article says the photo was taken using panorama mode, which is why the computational photography thing is even an issue. If you have used panorama mode ever you should go in expecting some funkiest, especially if someone in the shot is moving, as the bride apparently was when it was shot.

Love the aesthetic. Will keep a look out for this one.

Sure but they are still maintaining data and selling access to it insights from it or ads targeted based on it to third parties.

It's being used to target content to minors for the purpose of selling directly to them, influencing their choices without any kind of real oversight.

Even if the data isn't sold directly it's still not okay.

Unfortunately, old people who have no boundaries and believe it's acceptable to post photos and details of themselves and others on their public account.

If you have older parents or grandparents online, watch out. Even without an account of your own, Facebook knows you.

A few weeks back I remember reading a comment here from someone on a thread about RTO who said they worked at AWS but had just left. They were talking about all the people jumping ship and how it was making things hard for the remaining employees. It seems like this is some evidence of that, especially since it looks like somebody leaked meeting transcripts to Business Insider to write about it.

I am normally really protective with my data but I don't get the outrage here. If the data is all about how you use the app and the report relates to things relevant to usage that are interesting and is sent just to you,I don't see the harm. It's not broadcast to the world and isn't sharing a bunch of sensitive information (as far as I know). It just seems like a fun way to reflect on the year.

I use Pandora and I wish they did something like this. As much as pandora is all about data I would love to see a report on my music listening with some of their insights about music attributes included.

Don't know how I missed this one when I had a PS1 but it would have definitely have been up my alley back in the day. Maybe I'll get around to getting an emulator for my PC to pick it up again. Could be fun getting back into those old games again - I wouldn't mind picking up the old Metal Gear 2 game again.

I too feel old now lol

A demolition derby game like wreckfest but without the racing. Leveling, gear, competitions are all focused on destroying other cars and being last one standing.

Bonus if some shenanigans are allowed like you get out of your car and fight other drivers.

It's clunky. Filters and tags make some of that easier, but it's definitely still hard to find stuff.

I'd add one more- I set my purse down on the scan area (the only flat surface) to get my credit card out and get the "unable to scan item, please try again". I try to set it with the bags and get the "unexpected item in bagging area, please remove from bagging area". If I dont want to hold it while scanning and bagging I end up having to keep switching purse between shoulders or set it on the floor (which feels insecure).

They had to know that women carry purses and don't always have a cart to set them down in, but they gave us nowhere to set them while scanning or bagging things and it just creates a mess.

I get why they'd be pissed. If they cut staff in their old AI team for 'strategic reasons' or whatever they told employees, they should stick to that reasoning and say it doesn't make sense to bring on a different AI team. Otherwise it does send the wrong message to existing employees that they will just be replaced by an acquisition. I can't imagine working at Microsoft and trusting anything that leadership team says regardless, but even the fact that they made that offer with all the cost cutting they've been doing just says that they aren't being truthful about why they are doing it.
