It’s interesting that in the screenshot in the article, the CPU is identified as a Ryzen 5 7430U but then it gives the codename “Lucienne”, which is the 5500U’s name. So apparently they didn’t fake it perfectly.

They’re from different generations though. 5500U is Zen 2 while 7430U is Zen 3.

Can these processors use the same motherboard? It might be a big effort to make a custom one for review, more than just dropping in another part. And more costly too, if it meant redesigning other parts.

A person could easily pick up the errors if they checked the translation, but one of the worst things about AI is how it trains everyone to be too lazy to bother.

God sounds like a jerk. It’s freezing out there.

You can pick up malware from a website or an advert on a website. You can pick it up by a friend bringing an infected device and attaching it to your home network. You can pick it up from a phishing link or attachment. You can run an IoT device that downloads malware and propagates it to other machines on your network. You can install a dodgy app on your phone. You can run an application that has a chain of dependencies down to some obscure backdoored library (xz). You can run software that downloads automatic updates and whose update server was compromised (Notepad++) or whose signing certificate was compromised. You can be the victim of a sophisticated supply chain attack (SolarWinds was corporate but it could happen to any complex software). Those are just the first few that spring to mind. And you can pick it up because someone else in your family did any one of these things or many others.

Malware isn’t just for people who do obviously dangerous things like downloading cracks and keygens. There are many vectors for it to get in.

Or I get an incurable cancer.

So you are planning to upgrade?

GrapheneOS has some services of its own that improve location speed and accuracy when enabled: SUPL and PSDS. They’re both implemented in ways that try to preserve privacy. See here for more info:

With these enabled, it’s usually quick to get your precise location.

Two paychecks seems optimistic.

That’s my boss. He isn’t a programmer and I have done it professionally for 25 years, but he has taken to sending me not only feature requests but also pages of AI-generated code, and now he expects me to do the work instantly since I can just paste in what he sent me. He thinks he’s being helpful. I’ve asked him to leave the implementation to my team but he can’t help himself. I don’t know how you explain it to someone so bad at reading the room.

Now with added surveillance and advertising!

Your link isn’t valid.

OK, and the point of the thread was that it’s still a good thing if they quit it now. No one can undo past mistakes but you can decide not to keep making them.

About half a day.

Cancelling now is still better late than never.

I can’t believe people were paying for it in the first place.

And those CEOs will go off with their vast piles of money to make the same mistakes again, since the message they get is that this behaviour will be rewarded.

They didn’t fuck up. They’re doing it deliberately.

I understood it to mean that wishlists currently only offer things shipped by Amazon, so they don’t share your address with other sellers, but they’re going to change wishlists so they offer things from third party sellers, who will need your address to ship things to you. So they’re going to start sharing your address with these sellers.

If you spend a lot of time sitting next to a CD player they’re still OK for now. For music on the move, not so much. And when the player breaks it will be hard to replace. So they’re definitely not perfect.
