Here's a link to the study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.10491. TL;DR, they ran tests on various LLMs with different personalities based on sex, ethnicity, migrant type, and other (human, AI, etc) and posed a question followed by multiple choice answers and tallied the results.

What idiot gives chmod 777 permissions to an AI. I think programmers' jobs are safe for another day.

The age verification process is performed by Persona, a third-party provider that won’t have access to users’ Reddit data or retain photos for longer than seven days. Reddit says it also won’t have access to uploaded photos, and that it will only store birthdates and verification statuses so that users don’t need to re-verify their account.

Uh huh. You'd be surprised how many people still think once a snap on Snapchat is deleted, it's gone forever and no one can view it again. Wonder how long it will take before the "oops a data leak revealed all the stuff we said we weren't going to retain wasn't properly deleted and now anyone with a magnet link can grab it" event happens.

I understand the convenience, but I don't like it. All my data is on someone else's computer, and I have to enable activity trackers for the privilege of accessing my data? Heck nah.

getting TV remotes to work over HDMI CEC is still untested

Ah, bummer, but I'm glad a project like this exists and is getting some new life breathed into it. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the toolbar at the top but I'm sure ricing will be fun on a platform like this.

Not sure what the use case is here but Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) works great.

Personally I'd blame parents more than the schools, especially in America. Parent involvement is nearing all-time lows and it seems a lot of them are expecting all learning to be done outside the home. I learned more about computers from my dad than any class or teacher.

Aeharding, Voyager app dev, released a tool showing if an instance has improperly configured progressive streaming, which seems to be the source of images and videos sometimes not loading properly on third-party apps. This instance shows up with an error with this tool.

This post is just to raise awareness of this tool to admins and if it was something that can/should be investigated? Has anyone else had the issues described on this page? I can say I've had images and videos fail to load from time to time.

Researchers still don’t know the cause of a recently discovered malware infection affecting almost 1.3 million streaming devices running an open source version of Android in almost 200 countries.

Contrary to what is stated on the polyfill.io website, Cloudflare has never recommended the polyfill.io service or authorized their use of Cloudflare’s name on their website. We have asked them to remove the false statement, and they have, so far, ignored our requests. This is yet another warning sign that they cannot be trusted.

 

In all seriousness it's very exciting, I just don't need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol

I must be living under a rock because this is the first I've heard of USB 4. Is it just a speed bump or does it affect the type of data that can be transferred? In my experience I've had issues using a usb 2.0 flash drive to use a live image of a Linux iso in a 3.1 port
