Sounds like a reason to require removable storage devices if total destruction of the storage media is the only acceptable means of security, or lose any sustainability accreditation as a manufacturer.

Enterprises requiring this as a condition of their device disposal policy should also lose any sustainability awards or accreditations as well because they aren’t really recycling anything, recovering a few grams of precious metal and some plastic that isn’t even usable to produce anything of quality is only very marginally better than throwing everything in a landfill.

Sucks for employees but also: fuck you, paypal. Die in a fire.

It’s a good budget phone, but doubt it’ll pick up much traction with Apple dominating the smartphone market in the US. Android will always be the minority in America for the near future.

Bullshit.

Have used Intune, JAMF, Apples own MDM server, and MUNKI... if they "dont work" you are 100000% doing it wrong, which over the last 25 years of IT work with a good 16 years of that being endpoint management with a particular focus on MacOS to AD integration and management... without a doubt it is almost always people who dont know the tools and not the tools not working.

Which is hilarious given how much Apple stupid proofs things like enrollment, offboarding, MDM management etc.

Hell its not like its "new tech" the features that eventually morphed into Activation Lock have existed within the MacOS and iOS since 2012... targeted explicitly towards Enterprise management.

Amazon layed off the entire dept in their vertical gaming division when it was supposedly profitable and made headway in market penetration but they had to meet a quota so they jettisoned the ENTIRE team because they were around a long time.

This practice is ruining entire divisions across corporate America.

It's like a reverse Operation Paperclip but with less needs for redaction.

So they will lay off the people who know a particular system or process, then hire the other companies guy to do exactly the same thing?

But now they will have lowered productivity during the months it will take to train the ne guy in the old system + they will have the overhead of the generous severance packages they had to pay out.

tl;dr paying generous severance + training overhead of the "poached" people to learn your systems will easily destroy any imaginary savings.

Procedurally generated content usually relies on premade content - walls, boxes, floors, buildings that were created by humans. What I'm saying is that AI could make those. And character models, weapon models, etc etc etc. This would free up human time for designing the actual levels and story, fine tuning gameplay, etc.

can you share the article text?

If you’ve tried to contact PayPal support in the past few months, you’ll know how hard it is to have them help you. This is bad news for anyone that still uses them.

I don’t even wanna be around anymore

But not an ICE car with equivalent features.

A really well-trained AI can essentially be a dungeon master, coming up with brand new stories or rewriting parts of the plot to match what your character does.

Procedurally generated environments in games is something we have now.

Ohhh poor corporation, what is it going to do now ???

So long as it has the appropriate radios it can be used on what ever US network you want. It’s why unlocked iPhones made in the past 4 can be used on any US carrier.

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Friggin hilarious

Deserved better this

Ubisoft, ActiBlizz, EA, Project Red, and Indies I guess

I was thinking that AI could make video game development a lot easier by generating objects and environments.

Did they actually switch ?

Still roughly twice as much as a new ICE car. I can buy a lot of gas for $30K. I realize there are other benefits, I’ll just need to wait until there’s an affordable option.

Chatgpt taking all entry level jobs in tech. Anyone trying to break in gonna have a tough time.

No it doesn't. Just because you recovered a bunch of macbook pros and want to resell them doesn't mean we should forgo the security we've been afforded. I want my stolen macbook to be useless to thieves. If you're a recovery service make sure the previous owner unlocks them or they're going to the dump.
