> BrowserStack routinely sell or give away their users' data.

> A third-party service used by BrowserStack siphons off information to send to others.

> An employee or contractor at BrowserStack is exfiltrating user data and transferring it elsewhere.

Or the simpler answer, their db/email list has been compromised.

Sorry apple, SSD is already taken, you can't use that acronym.

Brother you need to put anything on your homepage other then an image and a link to your GitHub release page.

Why would anyone download this?

Include features, screenshots of features, explanation of what the goal of the project is, etc.

Imo NFC tags could be the easiest way of doing the same thing for bigger items, scan it when you use it, log it.

It's suprisingly good, like it's it's 100% worth watching if you liked scrubs.

Damn they are really going after the middle manager boomer coders these days with their RCE vulns

Microsoft doesn't believe in consent, it believes in yes or every 3 days.

I mean it's super obvious, it's directly tied to scrubs popularity.

New season of scrubs = new war in the middle east.

It's a shame my job as a penis enlarger is 50% mixed. The market is super shakey at moment with all of the AI enlargers going on.

Interestingly to me this is what raycast actually is for me now. Most of my common workflows are just raycast keybinds now or quickly typed in.

An example is I have my airpods bound to ctrl+alt+b to connect via Bluetooth. This is to have it yank back control from my android phone.

Yeah like Kimi is good enough, if there was some kind of LLM fire and all the closed source models suddenly burnt down and could never be remade, Kimi 2.5 is already good enough forever.

Good enough is probably redundant, it's amazing compared to last year's models

I mean yes? I am more likely to read and trust something that is not written or cowritten by ai.

I want real humans giving real human opinions not ai giving their best opinion on what is the most "rewarding" weighted opinion

> Also, why would using a LLM based grammar checker trigger an AI writing detector? Did it end up rewriting substantial parts of the original submission?)

Grammarly has seriously started rewriting whole paragraphs recently, I have been having to reject more and more "prompts" where in the past I would accept them almost by default because they actually were Grammer checks.

I would be interested what date this was? I am surprised if it's been recent that Claude didn't 1 shot this.

I actually don't mind this one, 9950 is the actual chip, x3d is the cache (where it's larger) and the 2 stands for it being on both chiplets.

I really want a x3d because a game I play is heavily single threaded, I have the income and the financial stability but I can't in any good conscious upgrade to am5 with the ram prices. It's insane

I worked in scheduling and timekeeping industry for a little bit, when pen and paper is mentioned you think "oh it's just notes written, and some other things" but in reality it's literally whole departments storing everything in daily/weekly sheets/binders and it's like 20 people's job to keep it all in order and keep the ship running for next week.

When someone asks what the plan is for next week, the answer is normally, it needs to be written out, or I'll have to find this for you etc.

I'm going the opposite of everyone else is saying.

This is sick OP based on what's in the document, it looks really useful when you need to quickly fix something and need to validate the changes to make sure nothing has changed in the UI/workflow except what you have asked.

Also looks useful for PR's, have a before and after changed.

> It’s not a testing framework. The agent doesn’t decide pass/fail. It just gives me the evidence so I don’t have to open the browser myself every time.

From the OP, i don't think this is what is meant for what you are saying.
