- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
Yeah, that would make sense. But this is not the right use case for Signal at all. In fact (and I know I’m preaching to the choir), it defeats Signal’s use case in many ways. I don’t even know what they’re trying to accomplish with this.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
I archive my signal chats. But, I guess, they need an automatic way to do that. They should ask their precious Grok or whatever tf it’s called.
- Comment on Here's the source code for the unofficial Signal app used by Trump officials 1 day ago:
Why not just use the official signal app, if you’re going to use it at all?

I think his “offense” is acceptable, if this one here is acceptable.
- Comment on Microsoft engineer reveals more details about Janet Jackson song that used to mysteriously crash Windows XP PCs 4 days ago:
I’m wondering if, like you postulated, they just didn’t add Linux into their radar for the data collection at that time, so they just had no data. So, while they only had data on windows, all OSs on that hardware configuration would have been affected, since it was a hardware bug and not a software bug.

Why only windows? I’d the issue was a resonant frequency for 5400 drives of a specific manufacturer, why was only windows affected? Sound is sound.

- Comment on ChatGPT is referring to users by their names unprompted, and some find it 'creepy' 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a phenomenon, ffs. They’re giving the bot their names, and it’s programmed to insert the user’s provided name into the conversation.
- Comment on Airport face scans could replace boarding passes and check-in as soon as 2028 3 weeks ago:
I remember those “raise your hands above your head so we can digitally strip you nude (we won’t touch ourselves, promise*)” scanners when they first came out. They were also going to replace an equally effective scan method that wasn’t privacy eroding. And, guess what? You can still opt out of those a couple decades later.

It realized how useless it was, and did the world a favor.
- Comment on Microsoft accidentally removed Copilot in the latest Windows 11 update. 1 month ago:
A bug in the most recent Windows 11 update removes Copilot from systems entirely.
First bug I would actually call a feature. As opposed to their other bugs that they call features, but are actually bugs they don’t want to fix.

Ah. Thanks! I did miss it. Strange to focus the title on that, when the rest of the article is how this can be used as a medical marvel.

I didn’t understand (or maybe I missed it) from the article shy the title is called robot skin…
Cool discovery otherwise.

Hahahahahahah!!! It’s not. While others might, I would never do that to you.
It actually didn’t properly finish parsing , since there’s only so much it can handle, so it’s a partial image, but it is 100% SFW. Maybe I should have done a smaller image or across several Unicodes, but it gets the point across regardless.

It says…
Fortunately, sneaking in an executable, an image file, or an application extension isn’t possible.
Then says…
While the title refers to “arbitrary data,” users can hide whatever they want within Unicode characters, though this seems limited to text.
B64 is just text, and pretty much anything can be converted to B64. This can absolutely be used to exfil more than just text-only data (say, a db or media). Therefore, this isn’t the non-issue they make it out to be, and should be seen as what it is.
