• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flipper Zero 'DarkWeb' Firmware Bypasses Rolling Code Security on Major Vehicle Brands⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically, the other fob shouldn’t be affected if it works the way I think it does. There’s usually a maximum number of keys synced to the vehicle.

  This attack basically forces the key fob the flipper zero is substituting itself for to fall out of sync because the flipper zero doesn’t transmit the rollover response from the vehicle back to the key fob. So the F0 sends the rolling code it intercepted from the key fob to the vehicle. Vehicle is like, yep, that’s matches, and then it does it’s rollover and sends out the rollover response. The response doesn’t get back to the key because of range etc and then the key remains a step behind the vehicle in the rollover sequence from then on out.

  Technically I think they key could potentially be resynced to the car. (My understanding is that a key of the correct type could be synced to any car that it can be programmed for so long as the key isn’t physically damaged, and the security module isn’t compromised with malicious code that would prevent it).

  We have known this for decades. Maybe don’t buy iPads? I’m just pointing out that Apple’s prices for parts and repair were always high and even though it’s a more recent thing that you can get new parts for repairs (with the rise of right to repair), they have been in the business of all overcharging for oem parts for a long time. Back in the early aughts they used to code parts so that if you repaired something yourself with off the shelf parts (same part just not their branding) the device would reject that part on a software level and still not work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. My point is that the “all men” phenomenon is a symptom of the bigger problem which is that one demographic is being victimized by a subset of a second demographic and that second demographic as a whole recognizes that there is a problem and doesn’t do anything to change that status quo in a meaningful way but won’t acknowledge that their continued lack of action may be the reason they are collectively being blamed. 

  Bigger problem -> overgeneralization -> backlash over the over-generalization while maintaining status quo. Wash, rinse, repeat. 

  If your point we’re just that “gender bias and the resultant discrimination are bad” you could literally have done that with “Men saying all women are whores/golddiggers are doing the same thing and that is also wrong.” 

  Instead, what you did was took an entirely unrelated analogy to a bad conclusion in what I’m sure you think is good faith, ignoring the circumstances and particulars of that situation so that you can try to make a point in the most clumsy way possible and when people give you pushback about it and add clarity of their own views in response it’s “moving goal posts”. 

  You made a hamfisted attempt to relate sexual assault and the over-reaction to it to racism and got called out. Let’s not forget what you were initially responding to which wasn’t ops post but a comment at the beginning of the thread which is context for literally just about everything else I’ve said in subsequent comments which plants the goal posts very much where they started out. 

  "In the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted. 

  Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed.  Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts? 

  From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 48 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune. 

  The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist."

  You are the one who acknowledged that the statistic for African American crime has more nuance but also didn’t not speak at all to the point of using it for the purposes of subjugation (something you conveniently ignored in order to try to validate your point). 

  You don’t stop over generalization by ignoring the root cause. Stop playing games with me. The root cause of the African Americans are criminals BS is literally that to continue to subjugate them and feed the prison population the institution has to make the general populace believe they deserve to be there. The general cause of “all men are predators” is literally that the patriarchy condoned sexual abuse so ardently for so long and continues to do so that the only way we even have conversations about sexual assault and abuse is in forums like this on topics like this one where the topic isnt even about sexual abuse but is absolutely about blaming women for overgeneralizing about it. 

  You are the one who once again argued poorly that as you spend more time around a bear the likelihood that the bear will attack you will go up, ignoring how that’s exactly what happens to women. The more time they spend around men the more likely they are to be attacked. The men the spend the most time around are very often the ones who end their lives or commit sexual assault against them. 

  And if you feel like I’m putting words in your mouth, maybe stop and think about what you mean and just say that. Don’t use analogies about subjects your clearly poorly understand. Don’t try to quote me to refute something I said that you take issue with when you didn’t understand it and your response bears that out. The questions I asked about what you were doing? Rhetorical. They were intended to make you think about the root cause of the situation. And also why more men don’t report sexual assault. You sure took them as an accusation though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you encouraging men to come forward with their sexual assault to experience? Are you supportive of them when they are harmed in this way? Do you go out of your way every day of your life to prevent sexual assault or things that lead to sexual assault?

  You’re deliberately using something you know is inflammatory as a poorly thought out analogy. That’s my first problem with what you said.

  The second problem is that you’re deliberately ignoring how trauma (which most women have) affects the ability to communicate, and further affects how we as humans perceive threats. That’s the second problem.

  Third problem is that as it stands women do all of the heavy lifting when trying to prevent sexual assault. All of it. We’re the ones who pushed for rape and sexual assault to have legal definitions under the law. We’re the ones who pushed to criminalize a lot of the stuff that the original commenter for this thread bought up. We’re the ones who created and implemented strategies to lower the chances of sexual assault. In my experience it is women who go out of there way to look out for other women. Do men go out of their way to live ok out for other men?

  Men have most of the privilege in this situation and do just about nothing to actually help (to prevent sexual assault, or to make sexual assault/worse things unacceptable in society). Now they’re feeling the pressure to do something about it so they don’t get labeled or grouped with “the bad sort” and their response isn’t to blame other men. It’s to blame and shit on women. Their response isn’t to try to help prevent sexual assault or speak up when they see something. It’s to lash out at women for using hyperbole. Which you admit that all human beings do.

  You immediately assumed that because I don’t agree with what you said I must think all men are rapists or sexual assaulters, or that I think that it’s okay to accuse all men of this thing. That’s not the case. But what I’m asking you to acknowledge is that this is a story on the internet with scant details about the interaction from a person who’s got every reason to lie by omission.

  And you’re so stuck on not wanting to be labeled or grouped with bad actors that you are actively blind to what other people are trying to tell you which is that this is a problem created by a patriarchal society that is enabled by that same society and therefore is a problem created by men for men that men actively can help solve but don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah. Don’t play the word games this way. Women and girls have to operate under the assumption that “all men” specifically because to do otherwise puts them at significant disadvantage and in significant danger. Unknown unknown - I don’t know this man, or those men, but statistics say 92.1 % of sexual offenders are men and 1 in 6 women will experience rape. There’s a sexual assault every 68 seconds.

  So while it may seem unfair to say “all men” because obviously all men, I have a lot of questions about how op wrote this post.

  All bears aren’t gonna try to eat you. There’s lots of circumstance where that’s not going to happen. But the question is do you assume you are in danger from every bear you run across?

  The thing about the statistics for African American crime is that a lot of them are deliberately misleading and weaponized against that demographic.

  If we’re strictly arguing against weaponizing statistics against a demographic I can understand. But if op is questioning a woman or women being cautious of him because they have a reasonable fear of being assaulted that’s not the same thing.

  Women take extra precautions as a matter of course in their daily every day lives to avoid sexual assault and worse. This is something they do both consciously and unconsciously. And still the mostly likely person to kill a woman is their male significant other or someone they know. Someone they probably trust.

  Most of what I watch on YouTube are science videos, history videos, and cooking videos. I don’t get the “jailbait click bait” and I have never gotten that. My biggest problem with YouTube besides their ad BS is the random right wing propaganda videos that creep in.

  I don’t watch a lot of shorts but if I happen to see one it’s most definitely not “jailbait”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can certainly understand not liking shorts (I often don’t have that kind of attention/need something more substantial than a 60 second clip). And yeah. Hatred for YouTube. I hear you. I get that too. But like this isn’t a new phenomenon.

  You know that’s not what I’m saying. They would have been content to leave this woman without her account except that the threat of them looking worse in the media was held over their head. That’s the part that shouldn’t have happened. No company should be allowed to terminate an account used in the professional sphere while leaving no recourse to reclaim the account or appeal the decision in a straightforward and relatively low effort way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the way this article is written. There are concepts that it tries to convey that have major caveats it glosses over. Additionally it posits some ideas for alternatives that aren’t new currencies and doesn’t explain how most of them would work. It also seems to ignore the fact that content creators very often get paid in ad revenue by the very same companies that are exacerbating this problem with their GenAI models, as well as companies that are being hit hard by the lack of actual ad generated revenue due to loss of clickthroughs and impressions.

  That being said it does actually somewhat explain a lot of the problem with the internet being sustained via ad revenue and ads.

  Several of the companies who’s business model is built around ad aggregation are either investing in or developing/have launched GenAI products that are in opposition with their current business model.

  They seem content at the moment to starve other places on the internet of the very ad revenue they rely on to make money. This will hurt them in the long run but they are focused on the short term profits they will make in the meantime and they do not seem concerned about the future so long as they can be seen to be on the cutting edge of the new technology.

  I don’t really know if this will lead to a downturn in creator made content. A lot of paid creators are so invested in that eco system that they’d rather hop from one service to the next forever than give it up and go get a 9-5.

  The pay as you crawl system is going to be difficult to implement, especially when crawlers already ignore the .txt file. The startups are not in a position to necessarily pay to license data and I question if they’d be able to pay as they crawl either. Meaning there will be big conglomerate gate keepers like Meta and Google and MS. The pay as you crawl system also only works if it’s regulated in some way so that normal users and small creators don’t get caught up in being victimized by bots/crawlers ignoring such rules or laws, with those victims unable to have their case taken seriously or heard at all.

  As for determining where the information came from and providing attribution. Most people still aren’t going to click through to those pages. This is in part because a lot of them don’t want to see ads in the first place (for security reasons and because ads are an imposition on their increasingly limited time, energy, and attention). It’s also because they already have the information they need. You don’t care if Wikipedia gets your ad revenue so long as you can prove you were right about Brad Pitt’s height or his first job to your friend you made that bet with at the bar last night.

  They say sources would be compensated. By who? And how? We have already established that people don’t think there’s a lot of value in pay for chatbots. The vast majority of Gen AI LLM users have shown (through polling, and introductory costs that go up in price later) that they aren’t interested in and don’t find value in pay for them. So conglomerates (many of whom run chatbots at a loss) would be on the hook both for paying for their crawlers and for providing such services to their consumers (corporate or not)? That most definitely not sustainable.

  The other option is licensing but a lot of data has already been crawled and continues to be crawled without licensing or compensation.

  I’m not sure that changing this business model will lead to anything good.

  I find this annoying. I have three different 8bitdo controllers hanging around my house. I have the original 8bitdo sn30 pro, the pro plus, and the pro 2. After I bought the pro 2 they came out with the Xbox variant. The difference between the pro 2 regular and the pro 2 Xbox variant? The additional rear buttons on the Xbox variant work and are mappable in steam os. Where the ones on the original pro 2 are not. Do both of these controllers have the ultimate software? Yes. But unfortunately one of them doesn’t contain the hardware to make those physical buttons work as physically and programbaly different than the other buttons on the controller.

  I can buy this. I could by the Xbox variant pro 2. But I don’t want to have to keep buying essentially the same controller to get functionality it should have had in the first place.

  For those who don’t know, this streamer is only tangentially related to the stop killing games petition because he made a comment about it being BS because his misinterpreted what it was supposed to do. He used his misinterpretation to spread false information about this petition leading to it not getting the support it initially should have.

  When the guy behind the petition made a statement saying he didn’t think the petition was going to get enough signature in part because of the misinformation being spread about it, PirateSoftware doubled down on his false claims and all of this lead to people doing the research they should have done in the first place and deciding to support the petition after all.

  What we should probably be learning from this is that we should do our own research, and find out things instead of taking the word of random people online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s New Xbox Strategy Starts with Windows and Ends with No Console⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They may very well be on to something (anyone who thought about this for a bit after the first announcement, could figure out this strategy, but it doesn’t include an important factor). Xbox is predominantly a console that lives in the living room. The most expensive Xbox series x currently available is $729.99. The handheld they modeled this off is currently $899.99. The price increase when this handheld and it’s predecessor consoles have been popular in majority US markets during a financially unstable time where there exist things like the switch 2 and the Lenovo Legion series of handhelds, not to mention ROG’s other handhelds may make this untenable to consumers. It’s a great idea for them the drop a handheld with an Xbox interface. It’s not a good time.

  The Xbox system is a windows based system optimised to run on the consoles hardware. It has been since launch. Modifying it for handhelds with the ability to navigate to a desktop environment. The addition of a desktop environment isn’t so difficult that it should take three years to accomplish. They launched windows 11 4 years ago and it didn’t take but a few months for them to start shoehorning AI into every crevice of it.

  Asus has a product already in production that could be used for the purposes of test bench testing and development. The original ROG Ally is even around the same price point as a steam deck.

  So all in all the only two excuses MS has are that they are bad at understanding trends and getting in on the ground floor, and they are bad at optimising windows specifically because that goes against their business plan to gather user data and weaponize that data against their competitors.

  All.in all we don’t have an Xbox handheld at this point because they’re greedy and fail to act on trend analysis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Will I agree that the actual code base needs to be designed and augmented (backend to make this work), that’s not really what I’m saying. I’m pointing out that they already have the visual design and working template for a handheld based OS ( navigation and so on). Just that couple with something like what they had with Windows 10 (the tablet interface for 10 was better than 11) would be fine. It could literally be an Xbox version of steam’ big picture mode (because you can launch directly into it from Windows on 10). There even already exists a slimmed down version of Windows 11 to save on resource hogging.

  The steam deck has been out long enough for them to have implemented this kind of thing. They’ve had time to design it. They’ve just been using that time to deliberately figure out how to shoehorn AI and telemetry and the rest into it because at the end of the day they still want to siphon up all that data.
