Seen a bunch of theories on this but the most likely one is that the washer ended up in a loop of failing firmware updates, downloading the same thing over and over again. It fits with the graph showing that it’s downloaded data. Could also straight up be a reporting bug in the router as someone else said.

Yes, exactly. And by not paying for the subscription you agree to pay with your time.
It also comes down to whether or not it’s reasonable to expect to be able to access streaming media for free. You are making a choice: listen to advertisements, or pay the subscription.
Kind of a stretch to call it getting scammed when he didn’t pay anything…

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!English
2·21 days agoThis really has nothing to do with Smart TVs in itself though… It’s just a problem if you choose to play YouTube videos on your TV, which seems like a pretty reasonable thing to want to do.
You’re saying this as if there isn’t multiple piles mixed fresh and dirty clothes with an O(n^2) complexity to find something you want.
I personally prefer to have my clothes indexed in an ordered storage so I know exactly which row in the drawers clean shirts are in.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•"Sideloading" is Double Speak – Say this: App Stores Are the Real Threat, CuckloadingEnglish
51·2 months agoNah man, this is just some divisive bullshit. How many people have you converted by leading with telling them they’re getting cucked? I think it’s a much greater chance that if you ’accuse’ someone of ”cuckloading” they will just become defensive.
I am also a bit impressed how quickly you brought US politics, slavery and world wars into a discussion about online privacy.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft 365's buggy Copilot 'Chat' has been summarizing confidential emails for a month — yet another AI privacy nightmareEnglish
2·2 months agoThat seems to be the terms for the personal edition of Microsoft 365 though? I’m pretty sure the enterprise edition that has the features like DLP and tagging content as confidential would have a separate agreement where they are not passing on the data.
That is like the main selling point of paying extra for enterprise AI services over the free publicly available ones.
Unless this boundary has actually been crossed in which case, yes. It’s very serious.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft 365's buggy Copilot 'Chat' has been summarizing confidential emails for a month — yet another AI privacy nightmareEnglish
13·2 months agoThat is kind of assuming the worst case scenario though. You wouldn’t assume that QA can read every email you send through their mail servers ”just because ”
This article sounds a bit like engagement bait based on the idea that any use of LLMs is inherently a privacy violation. I don’t see how pushing the text through a specific class of software is worse than storing confidential data in the mailbox though.
That is assuming that they don’t leak data for training but the article doesn’t mention that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will Lemmy/ the fediverse become age verified platforms?English
2·2 months agoIt sounds like you are assuming that the wallet needs to re-validate each session and I don’t see why this would be needed. Each user account would just need to validate their age once then the website operator could store this in their database. If you’ve validated once you can be sure the user keeps being old enough.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will Lemmy/ the fediverse become age verified platforms?English
5·2 months agoI believe something like this is supposed to be a use-case of the digital EU Wallet. A website is supposed to be able to receive an attestation of a users age without nessecarily getting any other information about the person.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU_Digital_Identity_Wallet
Apparently the relevant feature is Electronic attestations of attributes (EAAs). I’m not really familiar with how it will be implemented though and I am a bit afraid of beurocratic design is going to fuck this up…
Imo something like this would be magnitudes better than the current reliance of video identification. Not only is it much more reliable, it will also not feel nearly as invasive as having to scan your face and hope the provider doesn’t save it somewhere.

Technology@lemmy.world•A “QuitGPT” campaign is urging people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions— Backlash against ICE is fueling a broader movement against AI companies’ ties to President Trump.English
22·3 months agoHonestly you pretty much don’t. Llama are insanely expensive to run as most of the model improvements will come from simply growing the model. It’s not realistic to run LLMs locally and compete with the hosted ones, it pretty much requires the economics of scale. Even if you invest in a 5090 you’re going to be behind the purpose made GPUs with 80GB VRAM.
Maybe it could work for some use cases but I rather just don’t use AI.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you like working from home? Yes or no, gimme some reasons.English
3·3 months agoWorking at home since 2020, and while I agree with the advantages most people post here, I definitely miss talking with people over lunch, or even getting out for After Work beers now and then. (Obviously that depends a lot on if you like your coworkers or not)
This is apparently a super controversial opinion but I wouldn’t mind working somewhere that forces people to the office 2, maybe 3 days a week. Just not every day.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injectionEnglish
1·3 months agoMaybe i misunderstand what you mean but yes, you kind of can. The problem in this case is that the user sends two requests in the same input, and the LLM isn’t able to deal with conflicting commands in the system prompt and the input.
The post you replied to kind of seems to imply that the LLM can leak info to other users, but that is not really a thing. As I understand when you call the LLM it’s given your input and a lot of context that can be a hidden system prompt, perhaps your chat history, and other data that might be relevant for the service. If everything is properly implemented any information you give it will only stay in your context. Assuming that someone doesn’t do anything stupid like sharing context data between users.
What you need to watch out for though, especially with free online AI services is that they may use anything you input to train and evolve the process. This is a separate process but if you give personal to an AI assistant it might end up in the training dataset and parts of it end up in the next version of the model. This shouldn’t be an issue if you have a paid subscription or an Enterprise contract that would likely state that no input data can be used for training.
Is this actually practically achievable or mostly theoretical in a lab? Is it confirmed that the cops have actually managed to do this?

3·3 months agoThe first one was my an experimental instance and I will shut it down soon. Initially I planned to migrate the database to new hosting but I also regretted using a domain that was essentially a reference to reddit (.red). So I decided to start clean on another domain while it was only me who used it for a limited time.



Is it really that different with proof of work? In the end the control is going to end up with relatively few entities that have the resources to build large scale mining farms…
