JPEG is better than JPG 🤷

Who are the people that care about these things? Everyone's going to put a case on it anyway.

If I were in charge of product design we'd have two phones:

  • A tiny one for people who like tiny things
  • A big honkin chonker with a 30-day battery life that could jump start a car that would fit in a man's pocket no problem

Tell them, "Sure! You can ride in the trunk 👍"

Tom’s Hardware tested this software version of BitLocker last year and found it could slow drives by up to 45 percent.

WTF‽ In Linux full disk encryption overhead is minimal:

While in pure I/O benchmarks like FIO there is an obvious impact to full disk encryption and other synthetic workloads, across the real-world benchmarks the performance impact of running under full disk encryption tended to be minimal

There's like five million ways you can use disk encryption on Linux though and not all of them are very performant. So keep that in mind if you see other benchmarks showing awful performance (use the settings Phoronox used).

I suspect Microsoft made some poor decisions in regards to disk encryption (probably because of bullshit/insecure-by-design FIPS compliance) and now they're stuck with them.

As someone who's caught a leaker in the past (well, someone that was exfiltrating company secrets to a competitor) catching leakers is actually pretty easy if you have any modicum of control over the tools they use and the places they work. Barring that, no. Just no. It's not going to happen.

If a leaker is gullible and stupid some trickery is possible but I wouldn't get my hopes up, Warner Music. Seems like a job that's doomed to fail from the start. I wouldn't even bother unless they know it's just a job on paper and are actually just looking to give someone's kid a legit-sounding job to pad their resume 🤷

Not only that but if I were in charge of hiring I'd be extremely skeptical of any and all applicants. Anyone smart enough to do the job will know it's impossible and will just become a master of stalling and picking low hanging fruit (aka useless) and everyone else is just a fraud.

A list of the effected processors would've been nice, Wired.

  • Total Recall
  • Dark City
  • Inception

And:

  • Memento
  • The Notebook
  • 50 First Dates

When one of two things happens:

  • A new hype starts to replace it (can happen fast though!)
  • The hype starts to specialize into subcategories of the hype (e.g. AI images, AI videos, AI text generation)

When "AI" hype dies down we are likely to see "AI" removed from various topics because enough people know and understand the hyped parent topic. It'll just be "image generation", "video generation", "generated text", etc.

He's open to investment 🤷

To be fair, I love my dog but he has the same output 🤷

Market shows that hype is a cycle and the AI hype is nearing its end.

My doorbell camera manufacturer now advertises their products as using, "Local AI" meaning, they're not relying on a cloud service to look at your video in order to detect humans/faces/etc. Honestly, it seems like a good (marketing) move.
