Yes, but that seems like over engineering a solved problem?

And it would be rather tricky. The button would be simple; even a pair of Bluetooth headphones could do it. The tricky bit would be in figuring out how long the ad is and pressing the 10 second skip key the correct number of times and then pressing the skip ad button if required.

Easier (and more secure) just to use an ad blocker.

Ah, but they’ve already claimed that Musk wasn’t part of DOGE and he’ll claim that the employees were making assumptions and he never said such a thing. And he’d probably be correct; Musk is much better than Trump at weasel wording things.

Doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a meticulous investigation though.

You forgot to follow it up with “copilot: open windows” then.

Doctor Who.

At this point, nobody has them all, but I heard they’re planning to use AI, stills and the audio to regenerate the lost video.

That would be yet another illegal order, wouldn’t it?

It doesn’t make good headlines though.

Personally, I don’t care if a site can fingerprint me. As long as they can’t tie that fingerprint to a rich data set.

So I make sure that each domain gets a different fingerprint response. That means that a site can validate that I’m still the same user, but any XSS attempting fingerprint based data exchange just gets garbage.

I take it this wasn’t one of the cancelled trials; I had been fearing it was targeted due to mRNA.

The challenge here is that it takes more than money to solve world hunger.

You also need some way to prevent the greedy from hoarding food and using it as a weapon to subjugate others, keeping them hungry.

As usual, the problem isn’t lack of food or lack of money, it’s greedy people not wanting to share.

In my area, the leaves turned from green to brown two weeks ago and fell off last week — something that normally happens at the end of September/beginning of October.

Temperatures are still in the early Autumn range with no dips below freezing yet this season, although it’s finally starting to get close. In past years, it wasn’t unheard of to have snow for Halloween.

Or conversely, everyone pays him. He’s not only royalty, but most oil money has to go through him.

And a lot of that comes from the US, which is why he doesn’t want his cash cow to sour.

Wouldn’t that be an odd turn of events though….
