That's not how that works, you can't prove a negative.

No.. you can boot the ISO off a USB and it should erase it. Assuming it is not SSD if it is then you need a live recovery/rescue image you can use to wipe the disks with secure erase.

You're the one making the claim. If you can't provide the evidence you based the claim on you're clearly just making things up.

Do you know one where this is not the case?  If you can't think of a single exception on your own, maybe that indicates a pattern with nature.

Thanks, but wouldn’t I need to be able to log into the laptops to use that method? Or are you implying that I would remove each drive and connect it to another computer to run that software?

I think it exacerbates what's already there, but I do not see a solution to that, how would you stop that? This article is just an anecdote and not news to anyone. It started with magazines, then MTV, now the Internet... it will never go away. Girls will always find a way to compare themselves to other girls. The only solution is dealing directly with the women that are being advertised to. Self-esteem starts from within.. putting blinders on these girls won't help. I'm sorry if I come off as impatient.. It's hard to be compassionate when you see things like this

How do you know it happens in every culture, do you have any data?

> Women, especially going through puberty, are going to have more self image issues.
But you suggested that's all it is. Do you honestly think that, say, advertising with all the perfect models on show there, has no impact on the self-image of girls and women?

Everyone I know gets at least one call per day. I get MAYBE one per month that slips through.

> 1) Google call screening
Behind camera performance, this is my top pixel must have. Screens spam. Screens hidden numbers. Even screens numbers you've never talked to before, which really pays off with all the spoofed number scam calls.

Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Matt O’Brien, about a statement^2 by Microsoft:
>Microsoft is ready to take its new Bing chatbot mainstream — less than a week after making major fixes to stop the artificially intelligent search engine from going off the rails.
>The company said Wednesday [22 Feb. 2023] it is bringing the new AI technology to its Bing smartphone app, as well as the app for its Edge internet browser, though it is still requiring people to sign up for a waitlist before using it.
>Putting the new AI-enhanced search engine into the hands of smartphone users is meant to give Microsoft an advantage over Google, which dominates the internet search business but hasn’t yet released such a chatbot to the public.
>Microsoft said its new technology will also be integrated into its Skype messaging service.

Women, especially going through puberty, are going to have more self image issues. We are always trying to find someone to blame. Is it unnatural to say that boys have more risk taking behavior in their teen years? No. So why is this so crazy?

Someone posted the original article from the professor the other day on r/daddit so I gave it a read (it's a little lengthy).
The main article focuses on studies performed as far back as the early 2010's so it focuses more on impact from social media like Facebook and instagram. That last sentence is not something mentioned and merely the secondary article trying to make a connection.
I would suggest reading the original though. It is a fascinating area of study that is only going to get more important going forward.

Every culture has, at some point, relegated women to be lesser members of society. That tends to linger in a culture.

I would love to read the original patent. As much as I hate Meta whenever I see shit like this I think "Patent Trolls", and your summary makes it sound like they literally patented "Redundancies to avoid failure", which seems too obvious to patent.

Reply to Google blocking news content for some Canadians in response to government bill by Defiant_Race_7544
Friendly reminder that news aggregation services are available (e.g., Feedly). Additionally, Brave browser is free, and comes with built-in VPN, Ad and Tracker Shields, and Tor. Brave even allows for customizable SEO as defined by individual users (i.e., Brave Goggles).
We don't need Google; Google needs us (the actual end-users).
Edit: Google allows everyone (e.g., Amazon) to steal all your data via its Ads and Tag Manager services. Everyone not considering alternatives to Google is a fool.
