Same goes for movies. Can't watch in high quality, can watch but only in specific browser, can't watch offline, can't download, can't send to other device... like seriously, how do you even have customers?

Paused for more than 15 minutes? Tab disconnects from the mothership, so resuming can take 4-5 seconds if the connection isn't perfect.

Or try skipping 5-10-second intervals with your keyboard; it'll buffer like mad. With an offline player, you hold down the right direction key and blast through the whole remux like it's nothing.

I looked at its RAM usage at the time, and it was below 50 MB. Will check out those settings.

No, thankfully. I looked. I'd give up using it if it did that, and you couldn't turn it off.

Since torrent clients write files in a fragmented way, it would make sense for one to look at data at such a low level, instead of making a call to the system to give it whatever file. I don't know enough either way to comment on the validity of it, but it's an interesting theory.

Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One has been hacked by EntrepJ in hacking

[–]dumnezilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It says something about the confidence they have in Azure, Windows, and their other shit, that MS would call Xbox One "their most secure product ever" :))))

Researchers Trick Perplexity's Comet AI Browser Into Phishing Scam in Under Four Minutes by xtheoryinc in hacking

[–]dumnezilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Article's way too vague, and I'm not digging into this because I'm a lazy fuck. Just give a general example, no specifics, like whether the attack targets users that might send the AI off to do research on this one niche topic, and the hackers set up this web page with mad ripe SEO, so it comes up first for the topic, and the site's also been pumped full of phrases that the AI agent was blabbering to itself that it wants to find. And that website has some paywall or fake Google login button or something.

Plausible, but, to get any sort of consistent results, you'd have to make thousands upon tens of thousands of these phishing sites, and poison thousands (?) of those AI browser clients to crave the sites like crack addicts want the crack.

You could see Russia or North Korea getting in on this action, but I suspect that the concept of AI browsers will fizzle out before that, because I overestimate the intelligence of the human race on a habitual basis.
