  • Wifi Sensing Sees Through Walls

    Jump

  • I feel like there's probably a way I could do the same thing without Comcrap as a middleman. Anyone written libraries for doing this kind of thing with an openwrt box and a bunch of Linux machines?

  • Wifi Sensing Sees Through Walls

    Jump

  • And yes, reading through Xfinity’s privacy policy indicates they do monitor the WiFi motion data, and will share it with law enforcement or other third parties without notifying you.

    🙁

    Google is tracking you even when you use DuckDuckGo

    Jump

  • Use Duckduckgo over tor.

    Use tor browser, Brave or Librewolf.

  • AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study

    Jump

  • We tried to build systems that perform a kind of basic, rudimentary, extremely power intensive and inefficient mimicry of how (we think maybe) brain cells work.

    Then that system lies to us, makes epic bumbling mistakes, expresses itself with extreme, overconfidence, and constantly creatively misinterprets simple instructions. It recognizes patterns that aren't there, and regurgitates garbage information that it picks up on the internet.

    Hmmm... Actually, maybe we're doing a pretty good job of making systems that work similarly to the way brain cells work...

  • ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn

    Jump

  • I agree with basically everything you said, although I've found more things than just the Gorn in SNW to be cranky about. While TNG era never TRIED to get science and engineering right... they tried WAY harder than SNW, which is saying something and NOT a good something. It's like TNG's attitude was "We know we're goofy, but we DO have technobabble consultants, and we try to link some of what we're doing to real physics and engineering" while SNW is like "We don't even like, bother man... rule of cool in a Hollywood hipstery writer way, we don't really know what we're talking about, nor do we care... hey can we get mocha lattes to the writers room ASAP?" Major pet peeve of mine.

    Also, I love Carol Kane as an actress, but she's just Lillian in space, and honestly, I really didn't ever need that. It feels out of place, but shoe horned in anyway.

    Certainly, some of my joy in the show also just has to do with it just being better than Discovery (for which I'm like...oh thank god) and just gratitude that at least they're trying to make something LIKE Star Trek.

    Lower Decks was a better show. So was The Orville.

  • Yiff.

  • This makes me want to implement a programming language as an alternate tabletop magic system. Maybe give my players runes to experiment with and let them figure out it's a programming language.

  • Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host

    Jump

  • Many of my self hosted solutions are just DIY cludges. I was talking to a friend of a friend on Saturday about media streaming and he told me all about his Jellyfin setup and then asked about mine and I was just like "I just store MP4s on an SSHFS drive and play them in VLC on my TV (which runs Linux Mint)." When the survey asked about the various types of software I was like "No... I don't use anything like that... wait... yes I do! I just don't use a prebuilt solution!"

    Vibe Coders might be serious, but I cannot take them seriously, especially when they say "It is a must-have skill".

  • [Help] Can't restore a fullscreen game after alt-tabbing, and Windows have white border in borderless fullscreen

    Jump

  • Something very similar happens to me in some Windows games on Mint with Cinnamon, especially older games running using Proton. I've had it happen recently with Age of Mythology and Fallout New Vegas.

    Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for you, but I can tell you you're not alone.

  • ‘Star Trek’ series beams into Hamilton

    Jump

  • Yay, a time travel episode.

    Also, thespec.com has some very obnoxious javascript going on.

  • It doesn't seem fair to me that mothers have two special days in the year and fathers only have one.

  • Neither my wife or my ex (my son's mom) thought this joke was funny.

    But my son laughed at it.

  • What should I do after finding my info on a Data Breach searching website?

    Jump

  • Be as uninteresting as possible. Millions if not billions of people's information of this sort is out there.

  • Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’

    Jump

  • And honestly, my sourness with the 32nd century is sourness with Disco. It remains the only Trek series I haven't seen every single episode of.

    So I'll give Academy a chance.

  • Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’

    Jump

  • I'll watch it, but I'm already skeptical because it's set in the 32nd century. That's like setting Star Wars stuff in the Sequels Era (don't do it).
