In this case, they're talking about scanning on the endpoint, which does get around the issue of breaking the encryption. The messages are only encrypted in transit, not on the endpoints, so this isn't an issue of misunderstanding crypto. I support Signal's stance of non-participation, but you should probably read the article before commenting.

Users per gpu is lower than one, but ChatGPT definitely does not fit on just one gpu. I’m not sure I would call it simple.

This thread has become borderline ridiculous. A company is allowed to make you go back to the office if they are paying you. It’s that simple. If you don’t like it, then quit and go somewhere else.

Canada should legislate to require the platform to push a certain amount of Canadian content. First to Canadian users, but after that footing is gained other people will want to see that content too anyway, so there will be demand for it. They have done it with radio and television play, to require a certain amount (or percentage of time) broadcasted to be by Canadian artists. They can do it again with this if they leglislate it. Companies like Google won't back away because they want to be in that market.

Spokesperson for the Home Office, defending the bill: "It is not a choice between privacy or child safety—we can and we must have both."

If you must have both, then the work to be done is for child safety, not compromising encryption or privacy.

Tell me that you live in Alberta without telling me that you live in Alberta.

Windows 11 didn't make any sense on rollout. Having it dependent on TPM 2.0 just seemed arbitrary. They should have continued with keeping windows 10 as the final version of windows and quietly added a TPM requirements when enough machines had it.

My screen name finally pays off.

This is just a straight shakedown abusing government powers by news orgs. They saw what happened in Australia and are now all coming after that google cash. It's insane they think that google should pay them for literally giving them more business for free good on Google for not backing down this time.

A lot of former Toys R Us employees

Well considering you can exfiltrate data through the app I suspect your security team would remove it anyway.

Since Microsoft skipped Windows 9 to make Windows 10, the old wisdom that “even number Windows releases suck” apparently held true to become “odd number Windows releases suck”.

They're also laying off some desks

Is it possible to use homebrew?

Google stole memory technology (the 912 patent) from Netlist over 10 years ago to power its search and was found guilty. The damages trial will conclude soon and could cost G billions.

Most of those are basically expensive toys($5000 for a seal robot that tracks eyes and flips its tail), and the ones that arent mostly fancy toys, are $$$$ prototypes. Not saying they are useless, or wont end up being badass and common some day. Saying it will be a LOOOONG time before there is a robot maid in every home.

CBC, ctv and global, torstar, etc are big enough with their target market that their viewers can find them without googles help. There are plenty of times I’ll go look for a story at cbc.com rather than google it because I value what cbc would write more than the process of scanning through search results.

Some laws define necessary record keeping for certain tasks, such as tax info. If you have been instructed to preserve documents of a given type for a given legal case, you preserve that until after discovery at the very least. You might want to preserve it longer for your own legal purposes in that case. People can also be interviewed or subpoenad. It's not about storing it indefinitely. It's about being legally instructed to store it, saying you are, and then not storing it. Google specifically said it suspended auto-deletion but didn't. Google lying is the important part.

woooosh. Feel free to get up to speed on the topic before commenting again.

The shills are out in force, i see.

You are not forced to trust them. You can if you want to do things conveniently.

If you truly want it use its value then you must do it the correct way it should be done. Ideally you must compile your apps if you don't want to trust the distributor. There is no other option.

Propriety apps don't have their source code public so they could be collecting God knows what data and sending to the servers back at the company.

It shows the flaw in Google Play Store way of distribution of apps rather than signals.

Curious about developers being paid well because of them. Can you elaborate at all?

Google was notified. Google was told to preserve records and stop auto-deletion. Google said it did. Google kept auto-deletion running during discovery. If you want to play semantics instead of discussing Google's lying and destruction of evidence, then that's up to you.

From the article:

US: Google falsely claimed to suspend auto-deletion But the DOJ says Google repeatedly provided false information to the US about its chat-retention practices:

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure required Google to suspend its auto-delete practices in mid-2019, when the company reasonably anticipated this litigation. Google did not. Instead, as described above, Google abdicated its burden to individual custodians to preserve potentiall>y relevant chats. Few, if any, document custodians did so. That is, few custodians, if any, manually changed, on a chat-by-chat basis, the history default from off to on. This means that for nearly four years, Google systematically destroyed an entire category of written communications every 24 hours.

All this time, Google falsely told the United States that Google had "put a legal hold in place" that "suspends auto-deletion." Indeed, during the United States' investigation and the discovery phase of this litigation, Google repeatedly misrepresented its document preservation policies, which conveyed the false impression that the company was preserving all custodial chats. Not only did Google unequivocally assert during the investigation that its legal hold suspended auto-deletion, but Google continually failed to disclose—both to the United States and to the Court—its 24-hour auto-deletion policy. Instead, at every turn, Google reaffirmed that it was preserving and searching all potentially relevant written communications.

What was googles cute little tagline about not being evil?

Germany tried the same thing some years ago and the newspapers came back to Google on their knees, begging to promote them for free.
