Just so you know, using an AI notetaker during a meeting without priorly asking for consent from all participants before starting it breaches many if not most privacy laws around the world.

In certain cases, it can even breach two-party consent laws, and be a criminal act.

Ideally, never use these privacy-invasive tools ever. But if you do use them, you must ask for everyone's consent first, and respect their choice fully if they refuse to be recorded.

In order to go viral on Mastodon, your post should include at least one cat and some criticism of AI. So here is Binah disliking large language models.

A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure

Residents in Fayetteville, Georgia, noticed low water pressure last year. The utility discovered two unaccounted-for water connections at one of the nation’s largest data center campuses.

“We get this notification from Fayette County water system saying you need to stop watering your lawns to help conserve water."

RE: https://mas.to/@markwyner/116360220302747675

Update: after 17 sites and 11 CVs I’m pausing submissions. I need to re-focus on my lecture: https://mas.to/@markwyner/116559893895693710

My offer stands. If anyone needs a hand finding work, let me know. I’ve already reviewed 9 websites and 4 CVs. Which, by the way, were rad.

I keep seeing those layoffs and it makes me sad. Capitalism is punching down right now. Forcefully. Maybe I can help someone survive it. Hit me up if that’s you.

heads up if you have a yarbo lawnmower, switch it off, change your home wifi password, and potentially move house

(root access with the same root password on every mower - reset to the same thing after every update even if you change it, your wi-fi credentials + gps in plaintext. also for some reason all the safety features designed to stop them hitting people can be overridden remotely)

A hacker ran me over with a robot lawn mower

Forget robovacs — Yarbo’s bladed robots are an even bigger security nightmare.

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

The Confederacy rises again

Undoing the 1960s isn't enough. They're even taking aim at the 1860s.

Hey @cloudflare, how come you're protecting beamed[.]st, the DDoS service that's attacking Ubuntu? It's an obvious criminal enterprise that literally advertises botnet access.
