It’s a tablet that doesn’t have cell coverage. As far as I can tell no form of connectivity it offers is blocked in airplane mode. I guess it’s only there because base Android includes the toggle?
And in older versions it was a proper killswitch for radios. My previous phones couldn’t use any connectivity with it enabled.
As much as I hate everything about the rise of LLMs, saying this isn’t impressive because it can be matched by “an elite security researcher” isn’t very reassuring to me. It’s still an agent being pointed at a codebase and finding hundreds of vulnerabilities. Even if only a twentieth turn out to be exploitable in practice, that’s still a terrifying tool to imagine in the hands of hackers who might otherwise lack the skills to find these vulnerabilities.
Most hacking groups buy exploits off of dark markets and indiscriminately target servers until they find one that’s vulnerable. The number that can actually develop those hacks is far smaller, but if you can simply ask an LLM to find a vulnerability then that bar is lifted. Hell, you could probably coerce it into writing the actual exploit too by claiming you need a proof-of-concept for a CVE writeup.
Civil asset forfeiture is one of those things where when you hear about it your first reaction is that it must be some fringe conspiracy theory because there’s no way the police could get away with something like that, right? But no, it’s really that bad and done completely in the open. Cops can just steal your shit out of “suspicion” and the process of getting it back is deliberately labyrinthine and difficult.
This is the closest most people will ever get to the buzzing the tower scene from Top Gun.
I’m surprised airplane mode is still a thing. It doesn’t matter for the purpose it was created, and letting users disconnect with a single toggle goes against the modern capitalist surveillance state. I guess it’d save battery since your phone wouldn’t be trying to connect to a new cell tower every few seconds?
Then again, on my Android tablet the mode doesn’t even disable the radios anymore. I can still use WiFi and Bluetooth just fine with it enabled. I’m not sure what airplane mode actually does these days.
Imagine having time traveling parents, and having to wonder why they snicker whenever they call your name.
Yeah, it’s definitely nowhere near their best, but I can’t not recommend their stuff whenever there’s a chance. If I had to rate my top ten favorite comedy sketches, Chris and Jack would easily take half the slots.
(Mitchell and Webb would take most of the remainder.)
Oh, so that’s what his thing is?
“Humans are the greatest polluters, so those death squads we hired in Colombia to kill union leaders were just us contributing to the environment!”
I’m hoping the wheel of progress will start turning with Orbán out, but didn’t another country elect a pro-Russia stooge recently? It only takes one to obstruct everything.
Accounts. They’ve been at this for months.
That’s a very open-ended question. You may want to narrow it down a bit, unless you’re truly just looking for anything.
Some helpful information would be your experience level (are you only looking to learn or is your goal to create something), what languages and frameworks you know, if you’re looking to join an existing project or lead your own, what type of collaboration (collaboration could mean anything from working on the same git repo to remote pair programming), what you look to get out of it, how much time you’re willing to invest, and other things in a similar vein.
I agree with you that societal rules are mostly arbitrary bullshit. Communication and consent are the important things. Your relationship should work the way its participants all agree on.
You might want to edit your original post though. You’re probably getting downvoted so heavily because without that context it sounds like you were cheating on an unknowing partner and couldn’t see any problem with it.
If you’re open about it ahead of time, that’s not cheating. Cheating is when you go behind your partner’s back with someone outside of the established relationship.
Relationships are built on trust and establishing boundaries. Cheating (as the name indicates) breaks both of these. It’s completely different from an open relationship due to one missing and very important component: consent. If your partner is okay with it, have all the (safe) sex you want. But going behind a loyal partner’s back and breaking their trust is of course going to hurt them.
Even if they would have been okay with an open relationship, you not asking beforehand will have them wondering why you hid it from them, if they did something wrong, if they’re not good enough for you, if you ever loved them at all, and what else you might be doing behind their back. Your betrayal will have destroyed their trust in you, and rebuilding the relationship will be an uphill battle if it’s even possible at all.
The other (usually correct) stereotype is that a lot of doctors have this weird, paternalistic “I know better and they’re just whining” mentality when the patient is a woman. My mother and sister both have loads of chronic health issues and finding doctors that wouldn’t dismiss the issues (especially invisible ones like fibromyalgia) and actually listened to them when they listed all the things they’ve already tried was a nightmare.
Meanwhile my brother-in-law has a mystery illness that causes chronic gut pain but every test shows something different, yet he’s easily able to get his doctors to try specific tests and treatments for whatever the latest theory is despite years of no success.
It’s a good time to recommend the Discworld book Jingo, which remains just as relevant as when it was written.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. *No one* ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.
And another quote from Feet of Clay:
Just because someone’s a member of an ethnic minority doesn’t mean they’re not a nasty small-minded little jerk
(And then there’s The Fifth Elephant that’s so painfully spot-on that I’d rather not spoil a single moment of it. Terry Pratchett was amazing and I wish he was still around to share his humor and wisdom. We could use a few laughs right now.)
Lock S-foils in attack position!
Oh no, another rabbit hole.
Well, down I go!
