The statement isn’t about “A” monkey. It’s about an infinite amount of monkeys.

Jesus, if he had only done the allergy thing and not the profanity or wingdings it’s likely nobody would have noticed and people would have died(!)

So, I have an electric wheelchair… I guess I’m lucky because there’s no DRM. It’s not a “smart” chair. It folds and unfolds itself and has a remote control, that’s about as fancy as it gets.

But just about every piece of it is user replacable.

If he’s running the business from his personal account, he’s doing it wrong.

#get off my lawn.

I was on Mint but had super unreliable SMS service, switched to Visible which is under Verizon and have had 0 problems.

Probably to avoid confusion with bananas?

Maybe have a safety feature that refuses to engage self drive if it’s too foggy/rainy/snowy.

I think smarter people than me will have to figure it out and even then it’s going to be a war of escalation. Ban the bots, build better bots, back and forth back and forth.

Some news sites had an interesting take on comments sections. Before you could comment on an article, you had to correctly answer a 5 question quiz proving you actually read it.

But AI can do that now too.

My co-workers are also rarely in the office, so it makes no difference. ;)

You can lick any rock if you’re brave enough. ;)

Disable internet.

Used to be wives were referred to as “Mrs. (Husband’s Name)”.

Though I’d think anyone calling my wife “Mrs. jordanlund” would be swiftly killed and nobody would find the body.

They weren’t “hacked”, they were compromised at the supply chain level. Completely different form of attack.

There is no security if someone has physical access to the device. In this case, they gained physical access at the supply chain level.
