Yea, no, the most likely route is to pickup a MAC address and associate it with an existing assigned IP address (If that device is connected to the public WiFi, but who even does that these days lol), but modern day Android and iOS randomize MAC addresses on every connection these days by default.

And then you’d still need to correlate that to the physical world, most likely route would be detecting Bluetooth hostname, but it’s by no means guaranteed that the device hostname in the public WiFi DHCP table matches the BT one (phones can have different names for each). And again is dependent on the person being connected to store WiFi to begin with. Would also be entirely thwarted of a person’s BT is off which is highly likely

It’s possible, but would be a useless feature to develop and maintain as it would probably actually work out in the real world like maybe 30% of the time.

Unless they shoved a full stingray unit in it or something (extremely unlikely), this is just a statement from someone parroting a sales brochure that they didn’t entirely understand

he can read IP addresses from your cell phone or watch

(X) Doubt

Oh yea, I almost forgot you were voting for Drump

Aw shit, why didn’t I think of this! I too had a PSP with CFW in HS, but I just used it for… totally “backed up”…games lmao

Nintendo: Can we sue them over the designs?

Lawyer: Not really, this shit is impossible to prove

… starts closing the money briefcase

Lawyer: But we can sue them anyway

I agree, shutdowns suck, but a month or 2 of crappiness is nothing compared to years of a Trump presidency.

If a shutdown is what it takes to seal a Harris presidency, so he it I say

Yea, that’s not helping keep anything off the enshittification train that’s for sure. Desperation is dangerous.

Oh the irony lol

We’re growing the Mozilla Ads product team, passionate about display advertising in Mozilla products that is privacy-respecting and values-aligned. You will be one of the lead engineers that will craft, build, and be responsible for the core systems, both front-end and back-end, that support advertising in clients (Firefox, MDN, Pocket, Fakespot, etc). You and your team will be the domain guides when it comes to advertising, providing direction and shepherding to various product teams across Mozilla.

Ofc some reading between the lines is needed, they’re not going to just blatantly say something they know will be incredibly unpopular this early.

And like I said, its just another on a pile of mounting evidence of a year of bad decisions

Not in the browser. From web pages sure, but it sure as hell sounds like they’re going to shove ads in the browser like MS has been testing in the start menu. Once that starts who knows, maybe they’ll have their own little Chrome manifest v3 rollout that breaks adblocking for webpages too.

Based on this and the past year of “mistakes” it’s sure looking more and more like they’re trying to push ahead on the enshittification path.

If they’re so desperate to find other sources of income why does the Mozilla CEO not take a pay cut out of that 10 million/year

We’re going to explore doing so in an organic method across our products using the methodology that big tech is generating money, but with a Mozilla spin.

Hm yes, the “we’re built different so we won’t be affected by enshittification” option

that support advertising in clients (Firefox, MDN, Pocket, Fakespot, etc)

Ah, the “Mozilla Spin” is to put fucking ads in Firefox, got it.

Pretty neat, crazy how good AI speech is getting.

Don’t worry about the downvotes, posting AI stuffs outside of AI communities catches the anti-AI folks attention real quick around here. They love to rail against anyone using AI, not just the giant corpos like they should lol.

Gaming is one thing, a lot is GPU bound anyways, probably the same with “physical modeling”

But you cannot tell me your “data processing” would not be greatly sped up by using a newer proc (assuming it’s not also GPU bound). Does it work, sure, but if it takes you 2 hours for it to process now but <30 minutes on something newer that’s just a waste of time, resources and money. It’s incredibly inefficient.

On the flip side, if all your work is GPU bound no wonder a 3rd gen proc from 2012 is keeping up lol

The R5 2600 is not only newer than my old i5 and faster, it also has a LOT more threads (12 vs 4) and an extra 2 full cores

Making it excellent for the multi threaded workloads (VMs) and leaving room for non-multithreaded optimized workloads

I have an RTSP client program running all the time displaying a handful of camera feeds. It had a ~45-55% average CPU usage even with GPU decoding/encoding enabled on it.

That same piece of software on my much newer 7600 changing absolutely nothing else software wise (I just dropped in the SSD from my old build) that same software barely cracks 5%

iCUE (for Corsair RGB control (yes I know there’s open source versions I just never got around to it lol)) had a similar story with ~30-40% before and barely 4% now

That’s why they have door to door salesman now, they’re getting desperate lol

Looking at you, Samsung

*Samshit or Samsuck whichever lol

The enshittification warning signs are going off everywhere, Mozilla is being corrupted before our very eyes. Now is not the time to hand wave it away.

I called it months ago with the whole Russia fiasco and then reiterated with the whole ad company buy out fiasco. Downvoted both times.

Mozilla is on a path of enshittification and from what I see the “safeguards” that were put in place to prevent enshittification of FF are eroding

ChatGPT 4o:

Trump’s statement seems to convey a rambling attempt at explaining the moral influence of religion. He’s essentially saying that religion motivates people to be good because of the belief in an afterlife (heaven). Without that belief, he suggests, people might wonder why they should behave well at all. He struggles to articulate the idea clearly, repeatedly circling back to the notion that the promise of heaven is a reason to be good.

In simpler terms, he seems to be saying: Religion gives people a reason to strive for goodness because it offers the reward of heaven. Without that, people might question why they should bother being good.

o1-preview (the fancy dancy reasoning one):

Certainly! In this statement, Donald Trump is emphasizing the importance of religion in promoting moral behavior. He suggests that religion gives people a reason to be good because it introduces the concept of heaven as a reward for good deeds. Without the belief in heaven or an afterlife, he implies that people might question the purpose of being good and could potentially disregard moral standards. Essentially, he’s arguing that religion and the promise of heaven motivate individuals to behave ethically.

They still explode in some cases. Plenty of clips of li-ion not just catching fire but exploding similar to how a firework might explode.
