Got any more details about your setup? OpenWRT or something else?

My bet is something administrative, like reminding people to approve their timesheets for payroll. AI wouldn't be needed to replace that job though, just a recurring calendar event.

That's interesting, as they released security patches for iOS 15 devices like iPhone 6 as recent as a week ago.

I envision a dystopic future where the only legal personal computers are diskless Chromebooks that cannot save files to be viewed offline and that only boot via network, requiring a blood sample and a retinal scan to successfully Secure Boot.

I have come across that one, but not having the "trusted" badge in the extension store has usually been a hard pass for me. I might reconsider.

I really like the "Always Open Site in Container" along with "Limit to Designated Sites" once it's set up, but I wish there was a way to make it accept wildcards otherwise I have to manually add localhost:8080, localhost:8081, etc. Manually adding a dozen or more becomes painful.

True music enthusiasts will holdout for a while but I think AI music will easily replace most Pop currently on the radio and streaming for your average Joe. That stuff has been "fake" as early as the mid 2000's by being quantized straight to the grid, pitched, with programmed drums, guitar, even vocals and then churned out like widgets on a conveyor belt.

Anybody got a qcow image laying around with Windows 98 working in virt-manager? I've managed to get a 98lite install "working", but it's got some issues. The sound with AC97 is hit or miss and sb16 doesn't seem to be an option in virt-manager.

To access the IGDB API you'll need a Twitch account and a valid phone number for 2FA verification.

No thanks.

In an alternate timeline, maybe he would have become more of a dangerous liability, but I think it would have been cheaper for the CIA to overthrow him in any case

At about 2:33:15 here, Zuckerberg somewhat alludes that Meta can take screenshots of WhatsApp messages.
