The only systems that I use admin or password for are testing systems that are never going to be actually on 24-7 or carry anything worthwhile, And generally can't even access the outside world anyway.
To each their own, that's the reason I don't play Solitaire physically and play it digitally I hate spending 5-10 minutes on a game just to find out that I can't beat it. There's no sense of satisfaction for me
good, that mindset is crazy. How is someone supposed to be able to get up at 5/6 AM, go to school, get out around 2/3Pm, work until 9 and then somehow also be able to work on homework/projects while not sacrificing sleep, just to do it the next day.
for perspective even working until 7PM which is it's current setup only gives a 10 hour window between shifts so you better hope homework and studying doesn't take more than an hour or so.
When the leading argument for the change is "this will help current workforce needs" it's clear student's aren't the intended benefactor here. It's sacrificing future employee skills for short term benefits.
I just went through the hassle of putting a PXE server on my main server. I put boot repair disc, Debian live, a few installers and I just remembered I need to throw clonezilla on it.
I always end up losing my USBs and I just lost my primary OS USB and had to re-download all my isos so I figured enough is enough.
it's "new" with windows 11, but they redesigned it, it no longer is blue, its a black screen with white text saying "your system encountered an issue and needs to restart" and then the stop code is a bit smaller light grey that blends in with the background which makes it hard to see.
It's not all bad though, like it now gives a little more info about what failed if it is able to know, but i just find tiny text on black a pain and I preferred the frown and clear right to the point text.
For this one it really depends on the context. Many apps are super pushy and don't give you notice they are even trying to do anything. If I was minding my own business and just happend to open amazon music on my phone to listen to music, I would get super confused about time my watch decided to try and pair itself to the account. Like first off, why are you messaging me, second why are you trying to do something i didn't ask you to do.
Granted I could tell right off what that message was likely indicating it wanted to do, but thats because I've used tech for years now and I understand how code based pairing works. I could defo see someone who wasn't used to code based account pairing looking at that and saying "what does this mean, why do I need to go to a website and put a code in"
I don't push it. It's their life and if privacy isn't a value to them nothing I say is going to change that. I might mention the amount of data collected but that's generally public knowledge anyway. Some people just don't care if a company that they use has the data.
"I value my privacy more than you, there is nothing more to it" is a more than adequate statement.
Not that I disagree with the general mindset but, this isn't a valid comparison because its unequal. It's misinterpreting what those people are saying. There is a difference between giving your landlord a spare key and hanging that spare key on the community bulletin board.
What people really mean when they say "it's already out there" is that people with the skillset or job to obtain the data have the ability to, not that the everyday person has the ability to. It's not unknown the information is already out there, but that doesn't mean that you would want to just publicly disclose the info.
I do this! I sort by recent and critical if they have the category. IDC about the people who loved the product, I want to see why people didn't like the product.
I just look at reviews and history from sites I trust. I know that most third party sell companies like ebay are very buyer friendly, and if that fails my credit card has basic fraud features so worst case scenario I issue a chargeback.
Basically:
if the site has price history or a way to see recently sold item prices, enable it to get a general idea of what is considered a fair price
don't buy off a seller with bad reviews or very little reviews (sorry to new sellers thats just how it is)
use a payment method that will have your back if you get scammed (i.e NOT any type of crypto currency, pay in cash services like money network or paypal family, checks, etc)
be proactive, keep track of the shipping info, don't be afraid to reach out to the seller or in best case the websites support if something seems fishy
I bought an ice machine off Ebay a few months back, the seller had listed it in CAD, imagine my surprise when I got a chinese shipping agency tracking number and even more curious was that the package weighed less than 1 oz. I decided to wait just in case it was a mistake, I kept watching that tracking number, it kept bouncing back and forth between the same 4 locations for about 3 weeks before I reached out to Ebay and explained the situation. I never even bothered reaching out to the seller, Ebay immediatly refunded my money and within a day or two both the product and the seller page didn't exist anymore.
While I expect this is fake, I don't know whats worse about it. the fact that copilot got that wrong, or the fact that they used it in the first place instead of one of the 3 built in functions that can summarize cells.
for rewording for simplicity because I read it wrong the first time. The linked article said that in their study an AI assisted developer took an average 20% longer to complete a project than the non-AI assisted dev.
This is actually quite interesting to me, granted their study pool was very small(only 16 devs), but that is an interesting data point.
Being said, this is also a different field than what I was talking about, since that moved it to development instead of T1 customer service, but the data is nice to see.
I'm the same way here, being said, if that's the case a T1 wouldn't be useful to you anyway, as they just copy/paste the simple solutions you have likely already tried. So really no harm is done in this circumstance.
Honestly the only thing I see current level AI reliably doing without being used as an assistive tool is grunt info work. For example a lot of T1 customer service positions can moreorless be replaced out with the current level of LLM's that we have. Many T1 support roles consist almost entirely of searching the current customers issue, copy/pasting a boilerplate solution list of what may fix it, asking "did that work?" and if not escalating to the next tier. Hallucinations at this level won't have a very big impact outside of annoying the customer and the t2 when it gets escalated because it failed to fix the issue. Said system shouldn't have control over anything, it should strictly be information based. Anything management wise or financial wise or general output of merchandise should not be using these technologies standalone, at most it should be an assistive tool to a human in that position.
From a company POV it's probally meant to try and encourage you to let a friend know, but it seems that the page in this case might change upon login because it says to sign in to see your deals if you are an existing member. I don't have it though so I can't confirm that so I'm running off assumptions based off what the "eligibility" area says
I'm just chiming in to say that while the documentation gives you information on how to do external access, there are multiple issues open on the github about unauthenticated endpoints that if you know what is on the server already, you can confirm that it's there
So I wouldn't use a standard naming convention because using that knowledge, someone who cares could use common names that could be on the server, followed by common standards of formats they would be in, and be able to confirm it's their via the end points.
