Amazon has been trying to make sure it can be on all streaming devices as it provides the back end to a lot of other pay streaming channels. FreeVee was probably their Trojan horse to get people Amazon accounts and a service that low end streaming devices would need to serve.

And this is a policy the actors’ union went on strike for.

This movie has Tom Hanks. But there is now a trained AI model that can make a very old Tom Hanks look younger. That same model could probably make someone who looks and sounds similar to Tom Hanks look and sound exactly like Tom Hanks.

I thought they went on strike to make sure the next Tom Hanks movie actually has Tom Hanks.

It is hard to run an Internet site when the government turns off your Internet.

You get what you pay for.

Just like Smart TV’s.

But who is going to provide the financing otherwise?

The thread, like Lemmy, is filled with software engineers and IT professionals who are angry that almost all major tech companies are destaffing and want to use this as a reason that destaffing is bad.

Security likely a shit show before, especially if more successful attacks previously were of known flaws that weren’t patched.

Google has been known to prioritize new projects over maintaining existing ones. That would generally lead to less defined security architecture as the system is less tested.

It isn’t been a hidden cost for a while. Phone companies sell the phones at full price, but consumers want the 2 year 0% APR financing.

I feel like self driving cars are going to end up being the vanguard of deciding this, and I basically see it as mirroring human liability with a high standard where gross negligence becomes criminal.

The liability wouldn’t be on the development, but the deployment.

It’s a really nice calculator.

It might have a shot. It has a large auto industry already. All it needs are batteries and electric motors.

I feel like mirroring the plugins would resolve this issue, since the argument seems to be centered on server costs.

Then why does WP engine need access to this specific database?

Can you use the WordPress software without the WordPress servers?

Because the ad monopoly is subsidizing the other businesses.

Breaking up Google to smaller companies but leaving the ad market as is the same just creates more Mozillas, companies technically independent but still relying on the same revenue stream.
