With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.

Infinite budget? Bro, I know the exact location. Just go over there and knock on his door. Arrest the man and put him in jail for possession. One less thief out there taking advantage of the fact that the police doesn't enforce the fucking laws.

The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.

They could, but they don't.

In a world of home surveillance, doorbell cameras, and phones with constant GPS that can tell you the exact location of where it's at, the police are more useless than ever.

The demo was neat, but it was hilariously overhyped, even in the abstract paper. It was pretty damn obvious that the researchers were just trying to continue funding their research with a PR push.

The more interesting aspect was the potential for better AI video processing, not creating a game engine. You can't create a game engine without a series of defined rules, and you can't define those rules without documenting it in programming language.

The company added that it does not "listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement" and "regret[s] any confusion."

That doesn't sound like kooky bullshit to me. That sounds exactly like what the OP's title suggests.

(N.S.F.W.)

And paywalled.

The GPL is not a China-backed agreement. China can do whatever the fuck it wants, because that's how dictatorships roll.

So if your Rust app is built against up to date libraries in Cargo, it’s going to be difficult to package those apps in Debian when they ship stable, out of date libraries since Debian’s policies don’t like the idea of using outside dependencies from Cargo.

As they should. You don't just auto-update every package to bleeding edge in a stable OS, and security goes out the window when you're trusting a third-party's third-party to monitor for dependency chain attacks (which they aren't). This is how we get Crowdstrike global outages and Node.JS bitcoin miner injections.

If some Rust tool is a critical part of the toolchain, they better be testing this shit against a wide array of dependency versions, and plan for a much older baseline. If not, then they don't get to play ball with the big Linux distros.

Debian is 100% in the right here, and I hope they continue hammering their standards into people.

 

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

 

To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it's good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.
