Tuxedo Gin posted:How do we get congress to make a law mandating penalties for false DMCA claims? The fact that companies can just have a bot run through and automate claims against anything that hits a certain % probability, and all content and storefronts will comply with the request because they're not going to fight a multi million/billion dollar company on behalf of a small time artist is really depressing. Have a billion dollars or so and a multi decade long commitment to funding something about it. The status quo is pretty straightforward for business, and change would involve actual costs. It's actually not a straightforward problem. IP laws require that you guard your IP use by preventing others from using it, or there's a justifiable claim that it's generally available the public. There's a gazillion little poo poo bird sites that print knockoffs, and you have to go after them, but it's expensive to actually file suit against every jerkoff that pops up on redbubble or whatever. The solution is to not have stupid IP laws but really I'm just still shocked that The Mouse didn't try to extend IP lifetimes again, so I don't know how feasible that is.

Thinking about this in conjunction with that big Finnish therapy data breach. Eroding trust in mental health institutions to keep deeply personal information shared in confidence from being used or abused for other purposes at a time when general anxiety, depression, and deaths of despair are soaring will surely not have a negative impact on society at large!

Is it a parody? The name explanation makes it feel like a parody. How can we fundraise in a way that helps us further our purpose of putting more empathy in the world? The answer: a subsidiary for-profit venture called Loris.ai, named after a deceptively adorable venomous lemur native to Southeast Asia. (Communication skills are often categorized as soft, yet these challenging moments make-or-break a career or company. Same with the slow loris – it looks cuddly, but one wrong move and it can kill you.)

There Bias Two posted:HIPAA is actually extremely narrow in scope, so I doubt it would apply to such a hotline in any way. Yeah. As long as they remove all personally identifying information from the data, it meets the letter of the law. The article points out that it might be trivial to reconstruct those details based on details that remain in it, but as long as names, dates of birth, exact addresses and the like are gone, it meets HIPAA standards.

BiggerBoat posted:Why does a dishwasher need to be connected to the internet? I've somehow managed without it my entire life. What if you load your dishwasher in the morning, and then forget to turn it on? What if you don't know what water temperature and wash intensity settings to use, and need an app to tell you? Do you want a dishwasher that's smart enough to turn itself off when it's done washing your dishes? By golly, Home Connect is the dishwasher for you! https://www.home-connect.com/global/smart-home-appliances/dishwashers quote:Did you forget to turn on the dishwasher in the morning? It's no problem thanks to Home Connect. If you have activated remote start, just send the command through the app to your smart Home Connect dishwasher while you are already sitting at the office. Your clean dishes will be waiting for you when you come home. Your dishwasher will shut itself off automatically after its job is done. ...in other words, it doesn't really do anything genuinely useful or interesting, but Wi-Fi chips are cheap and a lot of marketing buzzwords can be implemented in software.

Dishwashers of any appliance seem like the ones most likely to have dozens of incomprehensible buttons and knobs that everyone ignores and just uses on whatever the default settings are. Setting up a load through an actual UI seems like a better solution than "this machine has 40 buttons but I only press 3 of them then complain it washes bad"

We got a new fridge a couple months back and it hooks up to Wi-Fi. It’s mostly useless but it’ll dynamically change the temperature to suit the temperature outside. It keeps ice cream soft enough to scoop easily. I guess it kinda makes sense for it if you squint hard enough.

It's generally something that can be added very cheaply to a device that is already using microcontrollers anyway that gives some features and has minimal downsides except old people being grumpy about new things being scary and bad and things were better back in their day.

You know what's even better than that? Having a dishwasher with a soil sensor so you can leave it on "automatic" all the time and never think about any of that. Pretty much any dishwasher made in the last decade or more that wasn't the cheapest thing at the big box store will do this.

This is not a normal thing that people do. You might as well shut off the water valve to your entire house in this case. What sort of dishwasher do you have? Does it hook up to your sink faucet?

ianmacdo posted:Really, that's the only downside? I especially hate these loving things because every last one of these devices throws a short range 2.4GHz network if it's not on the WiFi so that you can connect to it, then have your phone connect it to the main WiFi in your home. So when you have a smart dishwasher, smart fridge, HP Smart Print, etc. each one introduces more and more 2.4GHz WiFi interference for old devices that can't connect to 5GHz networks. God forbid they stick to channels 1, 6, or 11 as well so they can interfere on multiple channels by being on channel 4 or whatever the gently caress, meaning it's garbling up both 1 and 6 and turbofucking some old dude's Honeywell thermostat from being checked in the middle of winter while he's in Arizona. So you can connect it to your wifi and be stuck waiting for a software update to finish before you can use it, or you can leave it disconnected and have shittier internet on devices not connecting to 5G wifi It sucks!

Also, it's never happened and, if it has, my dishes were still pretty much washed, Worst case scenario for me has been having to re-wash them and run a new cycle. But upon further reflection, I now see the importance of having to monitor my dish cycle when I am at work and how vital it is. Clearly this is worth an extra $1000 for the price of the washer to avoid the situation you described. I need to get my head out of the sand here and get with the times.

I imagine all of you have received spam calls at one time or another. Where do they get their information from and is it possible some of the big name tech companies are giving our info to them? I just bought something for my mom on Amazon and sent it to her address, and 2 days later she gets a phishing call apparently trying to get access to my Amazon account. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but I wonder if either Amazon or the 3rd party seller gave info to the spam caller.
