Trump is clearly fucking incapacitated. He needs to be removed under the 25th amendment. But what I see is either an utter lack of strategy, or a strategy of letting the republicans hang themselves (and all U.S. legitimacy along with it) in favor of letting things get to point where a midterm sweep seems likely. Ineptitude or callous political math. Feels like a greasy handshake from someone you know just spent all day alone.
I used to have a TCL soundbar.
In addition to being extremely mediocre, it promised to integrate with my WiFi so that music could be airplayed through it. After adding it to my WiFi, it still broadcast the open ‘setup’ WiFi network.
If you joined the setup network, you could SSH into the soundbar as root without a password and dump the dhcp.conf file, which would give anyone access to my home WiFi network. Other TCL models also allowed for root via SSH, but used 12345678 as the password. A skilled hacker could just bot these via wardriving and turn them into network listeners.
It may have still broadcast the setup network because I blocked the device from accessing the internet. I only ever went poking around on it because I noticed that the setup network kept getting set to the same channels as my home network and it was causing interference. I eventually just factory reset the device so it had no information on it at all.
After the umpteenth time of not being found by my TV, a hard reset killed it. Just got stuck booting and never recovered.
Anyway - crap brand. Sad day for Sony TV fans.
I completely missed the water and the curtain because I was distracted that she kind of looks pregnant and focused on trying to figure out the meaning with that.
I hope that if I’m ever in the papers for abandoning my morals, my oaths, and all dignity in egregiously stupid ways, that my wonton and clear law-breaking is characterized as defiance.
“Oh, no, your honor, I wasn’t breaking all those laws! I was defying them!”

I will make it illegal!
It’s a pie chart that shows how much of its belly looks like a hole!
That’s actually my fault.
I stole all their catalytic converters to pay a lobbying group to get the local politicians to fund mass transit. Instead the batards passed vaguely worded noise ordinances that get selectively enforced by so-called public servants to target certain groups.
Sorry about that.
I was going to ask “What’s your point?” but then I realized that this post isn’t even anti-AI.
The text of this post highlights anticompetitive business practices that have nothing to do with OpenAI’s business model.
Straight up - they can’t even use the silicon wafers.
This is just market manipulation to harm their competition and possibly engage in stock market fuckery. (Micron, which stands to make billions, is largely owned by U.S. based wealth management companies.)
OpenAI and its business partners stand atop a massive bubble that they are desperate to not have pop. I’m horrified, but kind of impressed at the maneuver.
You’re throwing stones in the wrong direction.
This is so pathetic and stupid.
This isn’t aimed at Russia or China, whom the article calls out by name.
This is a dick measuring contest with Iran and North Korea.
I mean - he made the announcement in South Korea.
Diplomatically, Trump (well, his administration) has stated to learn that befriending and allowing tinpot dictators to humiliate the U.S. is non-viable. So they’ve moved to cold-war era tactics of arms races and implied threats of nuclear holocaust.
They, of course, are focusing on smaller nations that while powerful in their own right, aren’t actual threats to the U.S. global hegemony. Not that I support continued U.S. dominance on the world stage, but it’s a weird priority.
Maybe by the end of the admin, they’ll be caught up to Clinton, who realized the best way to apply pressure was economically and via international partnerships — assuming the U.S. has an economy and international partnerships to leverage by then.
It was a TCL Alto 9+.
A quick internet search reveals that this issue was known about at least three years ago.
Another model, the 8i was reported to have a root password of “12345678” - which is partially how I got the idea to start seeing if I could gain root.
I commented elsewhere, but I once had a soundbar that just had a no password ssh login. It was one of those ‘connect to your WiFi’ to stream music through models and for whatever reason, after connecting it to my WiFi, it continued to broadcast the publicly joinable setup network.
SSH was open to both the unsecured and secured networks, so anyone within WiFi distance of the device could have gained root control of it. Or if I had a sufficiently weak network setup, anyone online could have taken control of it.
A few years ago I noticed an annoyance with a soundbar I had. After allowing it onto my WiFi network so we could stream music to it, it still broadcast the setup WiFi network.
While dorking around one day, I ran a port scan on my network and the soundbar reported port 22 (ssh) was open. I was able to log in as root and no password.
After a moment of “huh, that’s terrible security.” I connected to the (publicly open) setup network, ssh’d in, and copied the wpa_supplicant.conf file from the device to verify it had my WiFi info available to anyone with at least my mediocre skill level. I then factory reset the device, never to entrust it with any credentials again.
I don’t think it’s individual evidence, really. I suspect it’s probably more the bot farms and pressure campaign. Those carry a lot of water for the illusion of continued group consensus.
You can disable the Outlook addon that nags you about Adobe cloud, btw. Small part of the puzzle, but it helps.
His detractors don’t get it. The doctors just called him back for his second once a year exam to admire him. Trump is in unbelievably good health.
It’s Trump’s business acumen showing again. He gets his yearly checkups each calendar and each fiscal year.
Saying this is a check up is a cover story. The doctors obviously called him in to consult on a particularly tough case.
Yes, these are jokes. I hope president pudding brain remains cognizant enough to see all he built crumble, see his reputation ruined, his criminal enterprise dismantled, see his children jailed, to realize that he’s going to die before his political and criminal enemies, and that it all unfolds exceedingly quickly. Not all hopes are rational or possible, but I’ll accept any part of the above.
Online retailers, too. Item goes from ordered to processing to shipping in a half hour. Takes a week or more to go from shipping to shipped.
Item can’t be cancelled without a restock fee if it’s in shipping — which is fine (I guess) if the item takes the provided time estimate to arrive.
To be fair, I also suggested he might be stupid.
So the person who is lying is Ted Cruz. Or he’s too stupid not to conflate the statements. But it’s likely the former.
I promise if they enlist me, I will be utterly incompetent.
I hear you, but I would imagine that Musk would retaliate by counter-suing the city and/or state, if for no other reason than spite. And would drag the whole thing out for at least as long as the AI infatuation lasts before abandoning the building for officials to deal with.
A single citizen with a drone and a bunch of glass bottles full of petrol dropped onto the generators, however, would shut down operations immediately.
