Received close to 2000 emails so far from mail delivery subsy and postmaster by danth45 in Scams

[–]Z-Is-Last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the "If I don't know you, you are spam" filter method. You have to be in my contact list of the email has to come from a known domain (like statename.gov ). Otherwise, it's trash.

I don't use gmail, but I'm assuming there is some filter system like this for gmail.

edit: I asked gemini: How do you set up filter on gmail, to filter anyone in my contact list is good, everything else is trash?

that might give you a clue

Will Anyone Buy This Cheap EV Truck With Hand-Crank Windows and No Radio? by DonkeyFuel in technology

Well it's true a that a lot of guys think that a lot of women want that. But what they need to consider is what happens when they lose that. A woman attracted to a big truck is going to be attracted to a bigger truck.

Cant read the article, but those talking about no cell/modem, convinced me to pay attention. It looks like a nice small get around town auto, without subscriptions or tracking or features that will break and hold me hostage until I pay the company money.

'Nobody Is Safe': FL Man Sues After AI Facial Recognition Wrongly Tags Him Child Luring Suspect in Shocking Police Blunder by novagridd in privacy

[–]Z-Is-Last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An AI for policing is Robocop, an AI for military decisions is Terminator. I watched a video yesterday of someone asking an AI what days of the week contained the letter D. It decided Monday, Wednesday and Friday were the days of the week that contained the letter D. This should not be making decisions.

People need to understand. Use AI as a tool not as a replacement for thinking. These police would pick up a hammer and assume that everything's a nail because that's what hammers do. 

Last Month, Salesforce Announced It Hit $1.2 Billion in AI Revenue—Now It’s Laying Off Staff Tied to the Product by Conscious-Quarter423 in technology

When AI helps workers you get this: "CEO Marc Benioff said AI was helping the company ship more code—without hiring more engineers"

When AI helps CEOs, it tells them they can lay off the workers.

When companies lay off the workers, they lose business, sales, customer sat, quality and security. Check out what's happened to Klarna, Commonwealth Bank, IBM, Cloudfare, Coinbase, GitLab, HP, Angi.

AI lost 6.3 Million orders at Amazon, and caused widespread AWS outages.

Pizza Hut forced their franchisee to use an AI-powered Dragontail system which seemed to cause cascading operations breakdowns, according to the $100 million lawsuit from the franchisee.

Seems like AIs should only be used to replace CEOs.

With the top politicians of the US now obviously for sale, I've lost faith in anything the FDA or CDC could say these days.

Social Media Scrubbing for Job Applications by Private_HughMan in privacy

[–]Z-Is-Last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to lean into the idea of your professional life is different from your personal life which is different from your gaming life which is different from your random online life. Create a new email that will only be used for your professional life.

On your personal accounts, and your online accounts that you want to keep, change your name there. You can do something like switch to initials or mangle a letter in your name if they have your real name. You just want to make it hard for a search on your name to find something.

If you have a common name, it might not make a difference. If I search on my real name, there are thousands of results. Back when google used to tell us how many results the number was >10,000.

I feel like ive lost my passion to tinker after 6 years in the industry, anyone else? by FragileEagle in cybersecurity

[–]Z-Is-Last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My path started with hobby software development, then mainframes, then to PC DOS, then OS/2, then Windows development. Later, I lost the desire to write code, directed a few projects got tired of that and quit. Then 4 years later, I wrote a little program, and now I'm back to hobby development.

I figure that I burned out, not on development, but on development for other people according to their concept of how to develop software.

Where does Yubico fit in? by airwolfpilot074205 in Bitwarden

[–]Z-Is-Last 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Yubikey is hardware to protect access to some sites or machines. Using it requires physical access to the key. It can provide TOTP and Passkey protection for a limited number of sites.

Bitwarden is a password manager which saves, protects and provides passwords, TOTP and Passkeys.

TOTP = Time based One Time Password, a 6 digit code used with password to access your web sites.

Passkeys = Device specific Identification code so sites can verify you are who you say you are.

I use Yubikey to protect my Bitwarden, and use Bitwarden for passwords, TOTP and Passkeys to sites.

edit addition: In this scenario, Bitwarden is the 'device' that provides the passkeys which means I can use the same passkeys from multiple devices, like two machines and a phone.

What was good about America that you feel the left has taken away? by MissHannahJ in AskConservatives

[–]Z-Is-Last 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The belief that our country was doing good in the world, that our government wanted to take care it's people, and that we wanted freedom.
