I use Comodo Firewall (on windows machines) to give access or deny access to various apps. I have a VPN only web browser and a web browser that only works when the VPN is off. Wireguard is not supported whereas OpenVPN is.

Mullvad is ditching OpenVPN. I don’t use Wireguard since it breaks my firewall rules. AirVPN is decent enough. I have used them for port forwarding before.

If this is you, then build your own home server. Encrypt all the things. Make a stop gap from the Internet. Realize that your personal data is very valuable to predatory groups and governments. Never trust the cloud.

Its easy enough to make a tube to blow through that should remove enough particulates to bypass the sensor. The kids would never figure this out though. /s

They nuked the comments at crunchy. Sometimes you need the information in the comments. Sometimes you need that information on every episode of an anime series because of some failure or lack of feature.

I’m gonna miss the comment section.

Have you hugged your gay furry today?

It would be considered illegal where I live to interact with that popup while driving.

They turned on the fully automated self driving feature and now they cannot turn it off.

Both paths lead to the same destination inundated with AI ads and tracking.

AI monkeys with knives and their fingers are truly scary to behold.

Just the tip you say?

How about no way!

Try just putting the end into the search.

So, how will this work and comply with laws regarding its use in a medical institution?

What about its use in a company that has extremely valuable trade secrets that need to be kept that way?

What about the military?

Wouldn’t this make for an excellent target to harvest data for hackers?

I wonder if Win 11 LTSC will leave it out.

Not when he can just threaten everyone and tell them that they will all sleep on air mattresses at the office until it is done.

There were so many times that updating Win7 was a nightmare. I used to do plenty of fresh installs on various PCs and I would have to wait a day or sometimes more to get the OS up to date. I would have thought we moved past this by now.

Imagine me paying to give my data to feed their info beast. No thanks. I can run my own AI tools.

Its certainly similar in that CSI played a role in forming unrealistic expectations in student’s minds. But. Rather than expecting more physical evidence in order to make a prosecution, the students expected magic to happen on computers and lab work (often faster than physically possible).

AI enhancement is not uncovering hidden visual data, but rather it generates that information based on previously existing training data and shoe horns that in. It certainly could be useful, but it is not real evidence.

Unfortunately it does need pointing out. Back when I was in college, professors would need to repeatedly tell their students that the real world forensics don’t work like they do on NCIS. I’m not sure as to how much thing may or may not have changed since then, but based on American literacy levels being what they are, I do not suppose things have changed that much.

If they can pay the people with advanced graduate degrees enough that they don’t need to seek other work elsewhere, it might succeed.
