No other site would load either until I disabled the extension.
The hypocrisy is truly hilarious, lambasting others for "Antitrust violations". They can still be the victim here though, I'm not ruling that out at all.
Microsoft is truly synonymous with Antitrust in my mind, on an unparalleled level. With regards to Windows/Xbox/anything they can really.
I don't think Google are playing fair here either, but MSFT are hitting new levels of childishness in my mind. If MSFT truly believe it's unfair, why not take them to court in CA for Antitrust? Take a shot at being on the side receiving the settlement for once.
_______ Hacker - Cheesy for anything with the possible exception of a job with the specific responsibility of finding security exploits.
I've got some really cool (still a big part for me) and useful stuff working, augmenting my mouse/keyboard use. For example, a finger to the left minimises and two fingers to the right opens a list of recently used apps.
Yet I'm very conscious that everything would just be better suited to a keyboard shortcut..
I never bothered with Touchless and mouse emulation things; years of 2D GUI design isn't suited to this kind of interface. "Midnight" is a my favourite Leap app but I think that's just an iPad app that lends itself very well to the leap input too.
Maybe they clarified it somewhere along the line, but I read the quartz article and the one before.
I can't think of anything more identifying that I carry than my MAC address(es). So say my MAC is 01:23:45:67:89:ab and Renew anonymizes this to "0001", clearly that's just as identifiable.
I genuinely can't think of a reason to gather MAC addresses other than to use them for profiling.
The human footfall/bean counter thing is great [1], but not worth any money to anyone. Seems more like a PoC...
I don't know a lot about AI recognition but I'd have thought you could have a camera counting people fairly easily.
I actually don't personally mind, I think it's fair game unless the government says it isn't - and then I can go back to just the worry of blackhats.
So unless I'm very mistaken this Reveal/Orb company are either building profiles, plan to, or have a business plan [1] that is going nowhere big.

As an aside the 4.000 images over 4,000 on the API pricing thing is temporarily confusing;
I'm guessing you're from the EU which is cool, but then pricing is in dollars. Anyway pretty sure it's an obvious mistake so no need for me to harp on.
These are just Stallman's exact ideas rehashed under hotwords like Snowden & SaaS...
I'd usually try not to whine but I'm not even sure if the quotes they use are from the talk or from years ago.
My current internet has awful upload speeds, but I've had fibre in the past and many other people do/will.
So ruling that out, my other issue is surely my main PC has to be on? 99% of my media (the only real use to me) is on it.
Wake on LAN was a given I thought. I didn't read anything and quick CTRL-F finds nothing. It was quite hard to read through the spiel but if it's 2 years in development; is WOL such a given they don't mention it or is there a reason they're not doing it?

To me it seems 4 years ago while working for the CIA, he was an idealist. He saw it from the protecting national security angle.
To me, not entirely surprising?
I understand that some people used Megaupload for genuine cloud storage, even though it was a small fraction.
I have noticed Kim is always talking about wanting his data back, can anybody tell me why?
I thought some of the evidence was conversations essentially about enticing people to upload more (pirated) content, what exactly was on the Leaseweb servers that would help Kim out?
I'd always thought he would have wanted them wiped?
