Great, now all those good-looking emergency personnel are going to be tied up answering marketing calls instead of driving out in their nicer vans to help up elderly people who’ve fallen.

This worked, thank

Hello I would like to run a neural network to play Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings, only catch is my rig is a month old potato, my monitor is a cracked windshield I ripped off the wreck of an old Pontiac at the local junkyard, the night attendant feels bad for me so he lets me scavenge sometimes, plz help

What’s kind of funny about this response is that the other post reads like a deadpan joke, to me, based on the premise there is no limit to the crazy you can find on LinkedIn.

Where would an open source LLM that you run locally phone home to, exactly? It requires a lot of GPU compute, do you think someone’s just going to give that away for free, without even requiring an account they can turn into saleable data?

But wait, there’s an even better way to be sure: download OpenHardwareMonitor so you can watch your GPU go to 100%, and this or GPT4All or something. Then airgap your computer, and try it yourself.

Hey hey, you’re an honorary American now! Your flag and genocide kit are in the mail (don’t worry, we’re pretty sure we got the right address from that darkweb database).

But for real there’s not much you can do but keep an eye on it. If Europe has similar credit agencies to the ones in the US, then freeze your credit and keep it frozen until you need to apply for more (new card, car, house, etc).

Use a password manager so if an account gets compromised they can’t get into anything else.

And, as advised, watch for unusual activity (but forever, not just a few months, that’s just a false sense of security).

This should keep you largely safe. My data has been leaked in dozens of breaches, but I do the above, and while I’ve had two instances of card fraud, I don’t see hard enquiries into my credit that I didn’t make even after 6+ years.

My Gul isn’t very friendly at all, he keeps trying to genocide pastoral societies, is he broken?

Right, so you’ve got all this experience and knowledge and all you want to do is complain that people get it wrong, you don’t want to do anything to change that by say educating someone who’s engaging in good faith. Consider my mistake noted, I’m no longer interested in anything you have to say about anything. You’re not old, you’re horrifically rude and unnecessarily aggressive. Good day.

Yeah. That’s why it’s true every year 😉

I didn’t assume anything, bud, I asked you two questions. The reason I wanted to know if you’re familiar with QFT is because the analogy of song makes sense to me, in the context of QFT, and one reason to dismiss the analogy is if you don’t know anything about QFT and think someone’s just spouting hippy-dippy bullshit. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t that.

It’s too bad you don’t like the song analogy. Maybe we’ll find something on an even smaller scale shaped like dicks and then it’ll be Quantum Dick Theory, and if someone comes up with poetic language to describe the universe in dicks that’ll be popular too. That seems unlikely because of maths I don’t understand, but whatever 🤷‍♀️

But, you don’t like it because it stops making sense to you at some point. Cool. Am I allowed to ask what that point is and why it doesn’t make sense past it, or do you just wanna tell me to go jerk off again?

Alright, I’ll bite. Why did that make you lose interest? Do you think it’s not right, and are you familiar with Quantum Field Theory?

The trouble with this stuff is that every year you studied it they told you that what you learned last year was a complete simplification and not really representative of what really happens!

The real trouble is that every single year they tell you that, it’s true!

That’s crazy! At my job, I just help our users. I don’t have to build (and then maintain) infrastructure with them.

I regularly fix my bashrc file with Notepad. I run it in Wine because I cbf to RealVNC from my Windows CE media server.

(n.b: None of this is real, I wrote it to upset people, I’m sorry)

I’m out of the loop, what movie or show is Elon in where he’s playing an African?

Oh boy. If you think this is bad, you should try waiting a few weeks or months after you’re signed up this time, then sign up for a new account using your current details, just with a different email. Spoiler: if you can answer the security questions, you’re home free.

And remember that between the Equifax leak and more recent hacks, at this point, every sensitive detail for every member of the economy is now in the hands of bad actors. If they want your shit, or into it, they’ll social engineer it.

Should passwords have maximum character counts? Sure, to prevent overflow attacks (or whatever) by pasting five different analyses of the movie Primer as your password. It should be longer than 20 in any case. But are there other, way worse security issues? Yes.

Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…

1password offers complete import from LastPass and both looks and works similarly. Same price, I think; better software, fewer and lower-severity CVEs, better handling of breaches when they do happen. It seems to offer everything you’re looking for.

Edit: well bugger, critical flaw for 1password Mac app: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/08/07/critical-1password-security-flaw-could-let-hackers-steal-unlock-key/

It’s been patched, but not a good look when I just said they don’t have super bad CVEs 😑 Still true, this is rare, but important to update and address it I think.
