    I would actually much rather have an elevator that set up like that, it’s super clear where the ground floor is, and it still has the star to bring your attention to it. Plus it is expandable by reprioritizing the open and closed door buttons to be if you had a basement one or basement two (or a service level) and then you could just move the buttons down a little

    You know after the whole fixed the labels of the buttons issue is fixed.



  • I use fingerprint authentication for my phone on The Daily, I will never use this feature. Strictly because the fact that fingerprint sensing is so inconsistent and any type of change to the phone screen requires you to completely redo your fingerprints. Not to mention any type of substance on your hand suddenly makes you unable to use the phone, just when swimming for a half hour enjoy not accessing your phone just took a shower yep you’re going to wait an hour before using your phone.

    Fingerprint authentication is super handy and I do like it, but I would never enable A system that required the fingerprint in order to pass the login





  • and what is that going to give them? The information that they have is yes, they have an account, and that’s also saying that they used an actual number and not a VOIP number for registration. but if they are asking via phone number, they will already have that information at hand. They won’t get any information about what chats that number is part of, or even any info really at all, anything about the account is encrypted and not visible.

    If they are able to provide my phone number without knowing the info you said there, there is some other leak already involved, and either way they won’t get anything but a “yes he has an account and he was last connected on X”


  • In terms of end-to-end encryption I don’t mind if they have my phone number or not, if it’s done right.

    Let’s use signal for example, because honestly they do it pretty decently, the most information that you can obtain from signal in a data information request is the date and time that an account is created, and the last time the account went online.

    Actual content such as the user’s contact list, the people that user was talking with(including groups), and of course the messages that you sent are fully end to end encrypted meaning that signal does not have access to it meaning that they cannot give that information out in a data information request as they never had it in the first place.

    The most that signal is able to confirm in a data information request, is yes this specific account ID has a signal account and this is the last time they went online.





  • Yeah but the two party consent states for recording imply that it’s in a private location, there is nothing stopping anyone from recording someone in a public location.

    It doesn’t matter what the Stateside law of indicates whether it’s public or private, it’s already been decided by the Supreme Court that recording in a public area is a protection that’s given under the First Amendment. This right to record has been challenged a few times by state representatives such as the 2007 case in Massachusetts where it went up to the first district appeals court, and back in 2021 in the Fraiser versus Evan’s case which went all the way up to the Supreme Court.

    As a general rule of thumb, if you’re in a public area there is no expectation of privacy so therefore anything goes, this protection generally includes someone standing in a private area recording an area that is considered a public area, and in some cases even include someone who is standing in a public area recording it supposed to private area due to lack of obstruction from that public area (such as someone standing on the street outside a house recording an unobstructed window)

    But as you said IANAL

    edit:

    That being said, because I realize I forgot to add this to the post. I am super against the entire idea of AI based goggles that’s able to identify people in real time. That is such a violation of what should be basic privacy that honestly I think it’s too far



  • a retail license doesn’t even prompt that, just sign in with your MS account and bobs your uncle, that’s how I manage all of my VM stuff I just sign into my primary Microsoft account and it automatically activates, I’m sure one of these days it’s going to hit a Hidden activation limit but I’m not really sure how Windows works with that, I don’t change vm’s all that often.

    My main bottleneck for swapping fully off of dual booting is the annoyance when it comes to trying to configure GPU pass through with KVM, I would definitely be using that virtual machine for gaming on the few games that no longer work using proton but like it’s such a pain in the butt to set up, that and for the duration of me having to transfer the system I basically need to have twice the amount of disk space because I need to clone that data over to an image before being able to free up the partitions

    Man that post is about three or four paragraphs too long to be any Microsoft form advisor post.

    Usually it’s a “Welcome to the forum, please run an update and sfc /scannow and try safe mode then clean install” then ghosting when you update saying it doesn’t work
