it has more to do with windows deciding that anything connected to the internet, other than itself, gets to gently caress off

quote:

SAN JOSE - A federal grand jury in San Jose has indicted Anthony Scott Levandowski on theft of trade secrets charges, announced United States Attorney David L. Anderson and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge John F. Bennett.

The indictment was returned on August 15, 2019, and unsealed on August 26, 2019. The indictment alleges Levandowski, 39, of Marin County, was a Google engineer and one of the founding members of the group that worked on Google�s self-driving car project. Levandowski worked on the project from 2009 until he resigned from Google without notice on January 27, 2016.

�All of us have the right to change jobs,� said U.S. Attorney Anderson, �none of us has the right to fill our pockets on the way out the door. Theft is not innovation.�

I also wish they would get numbers right: "Take the ramp for 794 East" not "Take the 7...9...4... E Ramp". Interstate signs have got to be using a pretty limited and regulatory-defined vocabulary so it seems like something that should be easy enough?

My main problem is that you have to zoom in to oh I don't know approximately 1:1 scale for it to tell me the name of the current loving street

loving saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame, but it won't matter cause when you do it gives you an obsolete route/highway number instead of the common civic name for the street that everybody under the age of 200 uses instead

okay google where the gently caress is "ottawa road 85"

hey that's the north end of road 31

cool story where the gently caress is that, wait do you mean highway 31

kinda, hwy 31 becomes road 31 once it hits the city

oh you mean GODDAMNED BANK STREET, CENTRAL THOROUGHFARE AND UNIVERSAL LANDMARK THAT DIVIDES THE BLOODY CITY IN HALF

yeah road eighty-five

Also at least 200 people have been hospitalized with hosed up lungs now after vaping

i thought these were unrelated

juul should absolutely have known they were selling to kids because holy poo poo most adults who use them now learned about them from kids

^see that's what i figured, but it doesn't help that "vape pen" can also mean "a thing that heats marijuana to sub-combustion temperatures so you can breathe the heated vapour"

i mean i guess there must be some types that heat the liquid vape juice?

huh? they all heat it, that's also how a fog machine works

i mean there's those little tiny ultrasonic fog things that you can get that make a tiny amount of fog but i'm talking like, the ones that shoot out big clouds for use at concerts and clubs, they're basically just a heater block that glycerol gets pumped through

try bilingual not-english. "turn left on vanha h�meentie gamla tavastlandsv�gen." just pick either language. also it pronounces the swedish "v�gen" as "vagin", which is very funny.

it'd be hilarious if maps just up & switched to speaking only french for people who strayed into quebec

i half-lied, i used to have exactly one autopay: netflix, on a credit card that was otherwise completely unused, just so it seemed "active" WRT my credit score. haven't been bothered with that in about a year, though

autopay on cc is fine because you're the card company's customer, not the vendor, so you can say "eeh nah don't send pg&e 2^16 -1 dollars thx" and they'll probably do it

in secfuck of yester-week: the highest danish court of justice ruled on a case of �what happens when you�re defrauded of your digital signature credentials?�

in short, Denmark has a system of digital signatures and logins using 2fa. You use it for things like logging into your bank account or signing for a loan. I did this last year when buying my house. Currently it�s named �NemID�

if someone else gets hold of your credentials and 2fa device (most commonly a piece of cardboard with codes on it like you�re keying in the nuke codes) and uses this to take a loan or buy an iPhone, then you are still 100% liable for these loans or purchases. The court ruled NemID as higher than a signature or contract.

recently this kind of fraud has been targeted at the lowest rungs of society, homeless, foreigners and the mentally retarded who are left with debts and a court / banking system telling them to go gently caress themselves.

this has been my banking 2fa story thanks for reading
