Plot twist: the criminal joined as well and used the group for construct an alibi.

Reason why people love Scream: mood

“Copilot is for entertainment purposes only”

Need to put it before the horse’s head?

It’s like “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” Nobody ever got fired for pitching a migration to GitHub. It doesn’t have to be good. Then one day it’s crumbling down and people will have to learn to face consequences.

Blame Gen Z.

Reminds me of the copy “Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn?” from Mad Men S2E6.

It’s not location tracking, but screen, mouse, and keyboard recording, mainly to train AI agents for the “computer use” capacity.

Try Shift + Right Stick…sorry that’s the launch missile button.

Done. 20€ and lots of appreciation.

Alien kind.

It’s reserved for really close friends (sometimes also relatives). The problem is not the extent of politeness per se, but one that exceeds the “expected” politeness. If you’re politer than you’re supposed to be, you are being too 客气 (“acting like a guest”) or 见外 (“looking like a stranger”).

Although, the expected politeness is sometimes tricky to know as it depends on each part’s perception of the relation. On top of that, there’s also the supposed “acting” of politeness, like fighting to pay restaurant bills.

This is actually not that hard to understand. Note that across cultures, close friends can insult each other as jokes. So showing less politeness is like an insult, but with the understanding of the participants, it becomes a show of closeness.

Granted, I really had to look for that meaning.

I just realized this wasn’t an evil name across cultures as I have always thought.

Its Chinese translation 天网 (literally sky + net) is a word used for at least for 2,000 years and is still very actively used among the daily vocabulary. It’s a metaphor for law enforcement (especially the destined punishment for going against the “good natural order” i.e. the sky).

Traditionally, it’s neutral or commendatory, but nowadays due to the association with surveillance networks (both metaphorically and literally), it’s more derogatory.

The scale of penguin beaks, obviously.

So consumer grade routers are a security risk, but not ISP switches or server routers? That’s the opposite of what a state level actor would look for.

Came here to make this comment. So by the same logic, DNS or Domain Name System should have been abbreviated to DoNaS and pronounced dou-NAS.

At least he dogfooded his vision. Too bad reality happened.

Is it still harassment if you enjoy?

I recommend HyperNormalization by Adam Curtis.

For Hollywood, I think it’s more about the financialization. Investors don’t want to do risky productions, so we only get the decade old "IP"s rehashed for the thousandth time, rather than independent art experiments.
