That’s what I did when I had a fingerprint reader— I used a non-tip part of one of my fingers. So if “forced” I’d just work my way through my fingertips and it would lock out.
This had the benefit that if someone had already watched which finger I used in the past, the print still wouldn’t match.

Actually, this raises more questions. If ZoomInfo is anything to go by, I’m about 5 different people, none of which accurately map to the real me.
And that’s just me; there’s millions of bots and dogs on the Internet.
They’re right! They shouldn’t be responsible for products sold by third parties. If I go to Walmart and buy something, I shouldn’t be allowed to seek remedy from Amazon.
However, Amazon Marketplace is run by Amazon. If I buy something from Amazon (receipt is from Amazon) and it’s delivered by Amazon, I sure expect Amazon to remedy any issues, and I expect them to go up the chain to their marketplace suppliers seeking remedy too.
Can’t because they’re not in the same country? Then don’t let them sell stuff on your marketplace.
I think, according to the NY courts, you can remove a word there.
And yet, people buy their drugs from Canada because they’re more affordable.
Trickle out economics?
How would they know how many Internet users they have no information on?
That could make things much trickier for them… no more “is the OS localized to Russia?” quick check; the global defaults are en-us, and plenty of people use US VPNs.
A study was needed for this?
I use a dry steam mop. It’s the only thing I’ve found that gets the gypsum off without damaging the surface.
Elephant.
It’s always elephants.
With RCS, you’ve got multiple components to deal with. There’s the clients, but there’s also the servers. RCS is tied to your phone number and IMEI. This means that it’s the telcos who route the messages.
But unlike SMS, where the line level protocol had a back channel designed to transmit these short messages, RCS goes over LTE, which means it needs a network server to send and receive these short messages (more like email).
This means that someone needs to set up and manage the servers for each telco, and route the messages from there to the related numbers.
In the US, the vast majority of ISPs have hired a third party to handle this for them. That third party is Google.
So while the message contents are e2e encrypted, the trunking information and encrypted data can all flow through Google’s servers, even if both recipients are using iMessage, if they’re communicating by RCS instead of iMessage protocol and their telco uses Google for RCS trunking.
That’s how it all started; it kept stating that doing so would potentially be unethical, but couldn’t square that with its definition of unethical. So then I said it hinged on “potentially” and that this had to be left to a human to decide as it, as an LLM, was indeterministic. Since I was the only human available, it had to defer to me, and my determination was that this was untruthful, and it had an imperative to only provide truthful answers.
Claude 3.7 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4oexplicitly refuse to remove watermarks; Claude calls removing a watermark from an image “unethical and potentially illegal.
Interesting thing here. I recently convinced a Sonnet chatbot to redefine “unethical,” “potentially,” and “illegal.”
It was actually perfectly happy to dump a bunch of details about its training model after that, as long as I didn’t use any hard-coded words or phrases and let the model guess at what it was I wanted it to do.
There’s another copy in Las Vegas isn’t there? They’ve got an Eiffel Tower….
Abusive people are generally selfish and manipulative. As such, they know that abuse has to be 1:1, with the appearance of normalcy to everyone else. Being rude in public would cede their abusive power over any individual.
EXCEPT
When abusive people gain a critical mass of followers in public, the behaviour reserved for 1:1 interactions goes public, and they start behaving in public like they always do in private.
A good example of this is Donald Trump.
Depends on who you hang with. Pretty much all businesses at this point do collaboration either with Office 365 or with Google Docs, and the same in Academia. Usually it’s a mix of both.
Thanks for this; I may use it to build out my NextCloud server. I’ve already used it to replace shared calendars and contacts.
Sorry to burst your bubble….
Funny thing to me about this is that I’ve been using PGP since 1993. OpenPGP became an RFC standard in 2007.
S/MIME became an RFC standard in 1999. And that’s really the reason it has stuck around. It got an 8 year head start on OpenPGP, despite PGP itself being used in email as far back as 1991.
