In a catastrophic security failure, an AI-powered tool used by IDMerit, a global leader in digital identity verification, has exposed a staggering one billion personal records
Didn’t it happened already that AI seriously compromised a production database? Will people ever learn?
Inspired by the likes of old Minecraft mods, as well as factory games like Satisfactory and Factorio
I watched the trailer and it looks a lot more like Oxygen Not Included than Factorio, why not call it Food Not Included?
This sounds like all those in online videogames crying they’ve been banned for nothing lmao.
Then I read the words “This feature is currently in Beta with a focus on devices running SteamOS,” and realised: this is for Valve themselves. A devious ploy to record how thousands of hitherto unbenchmarked games run on the Steam Deck and, eventually, the new Steam Machine.
So what?
I don’t have a Steam Deck, yet the first thing I look for before buying a new game, is if it’s verified. Why? Because if it is, I know I won’t have any issue on my Debian PC.
I would also love to know which graphic cards people reporting problems have, that can make a big difference.
Valve is massively investing in Linux and opersource for years, do you really think they’re making it out of charity? Ofc not, they’re a business and they make business decisions in their own interest, the good part is we all benefit from it nonetheless, unlike other corporations.
The solve rate (i.e. how many requests are legit) is about 2.75% currently
That’s wild! AI should be seriously regulated.
Thank you so much for everything you do for us to have a nice place to be. <3
My company PC (Windows 11 ) is set on the guest wi-fi when I work from home, is that enough?
Ask your IT to install Virtualbox (or vmware if that’s what you have) and go on using Linux inside a VM.
That’s what I did. I don’t do absolutely everything on Linux because, for example, using MS Office directly on the PC instead of the web version in the VM is much more practical, but I do most things.
Maybe, since it could be a response to change the monetization with battle passes instead.
It doesn’t matter IMO since the result is the same: shittier content for more money.
The motivation may be as financial as it is scientific.
The motivation is financial ONLY.
Noone in their right mind would do this without a serious plan to deal with space debris, but they sorely need investors to keep investing, so any marketing BS is fair game to them.
They’re destroying the environment more than ever before, they’re pushing companies to replace workers with AI making people lose their jobs, they’re scraping everything on the internet without any regard for copyright laws, they’re screwing hardware market so consumers can’t afford decent PCs anymore.
And they expect us to be happy about it?
we should be less vague about what AI was used for
I agree as well, because it very much depends on what you use AI for.
If it’s for prototyping or very minor things players wouldn’t even notice, it’s fine and I wouldn’t put that kind of use on the same level of companies who want to use AI to outright replace workers just to cut costs.
Important notes from the article for those playing on PC:
Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform. The Steam Deck Native build is only supported on Steam Deck.
Due to the way Valve’s Deck Verified system works with it also giving the same default for Desktop Linux, you likely need to now manually force Proton on it - otherwise you’ll see it as a totally empty download. I’ve added a bug report for Valve on this one, hopefully it can be sorted.
Ofc they will, so the can inflate participation with bots all they want.
If bots weren’t counted, it wouldn’t actually be a bad metric IMO.
Here’s the link to the press conference (official NASA channel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-StZggK4hhA
No, I guess because it has nothing to do with productivity.
It’s usually about justifying costs of real estates or property of commercial buildings.
Big companies usually own buildings dedicated to offices for their workers, maintaining them is expensive, having everyone working from home would mean rendering their properties useless.
So they come up with all possible stupid PR excuses about it, the company I work for does the same, but we employees know, if the company openly told the truth about it, I believe many people would revolt.
It’s incredible the effort and love you’re putting into this, thank you so much!
I know you skipped all the above
I read it all :P
Also thank you for sending the news with bot, I missed the previous one about the UK safety act and was about to ask (then I saw it’s already answered in the comments).
Is there a RSS feed for this community?
That’s typical reddit behavior, many of them brought their childish habits over to the fediverse.
The vast majority of desktop users don’t give two flips about security, nor freedom, they don’t even know what those things are and don’t care to be informed.
I’ve even seen a few (on reddit) asking for Linux to support giving kernel level permissions to applications, so they can play a few videogames, they are fine with having rootkits on their PC, that’s the level of “care” they have.
But that’s ok, Linux is already a de-facto “monopoly” on the server side, the most important one, it doesn’t need to win over also desktops.
So they failed to apply UK draconian adult-surveillance and censorship regulations?
What about adults? Does UK think it’s fine to collect data without consent or any control, as long as it’s about people older than 13? What about 14 years old? Surely they wouldn’t understand what their data is used for either?
In case someone doesn’t know, 13 is the minimum age for creating a reddit account, that’s why I think UK is fixating on that age, making a fool of themselves in the process.
