The standards are still pretty bad, and most producers of movies and tv shows still don't balance their audio for home TVs, but I do believe Ads have a limited allowed "loudness".

If it was real baby mode we would have a regulated minimum and maximum loudness for everything, so we don't have to change volume constantly.

I thought it was quite bad already in the EU but we at least have standards for it. I'm currently in the US and watching TV I have to turn on closed captions for everything because voices are just so damm silent, while Ads and stuff just blast your face off.

If you disregard LTS versions, yeah 😄

Even then it's usually just a kernel update and not a complete OS reinstall.

Well, we could have found out what he did with his life if he didn't die.

And a well respected historian and just a kid.

Certainly not good riddance.

I certainly agree. It's a tragedy all around.

I was in NY 2 blocks away when this happened. This dude has no redeeming qualities and would have happily shot you for looking at him funny.

He wanted to kill people from the NFL but did no reconnaissance and ended up murdering 4 completely unrelated people.

His manifesto is also just complete madness.

Edit to add: If anything this is another reason why there should be more publicly available resources for combating mental health issues and tighter gun control. But we all know there will only be thoughts and prayers and no real change coming any time soon.

Where I'm from there's certificates a company can get, that confirm a certain level of process and IT security. Also a company existing for at least 5-10 years without incidents is a "vetted" company in my books. At least anything that managed to produce a working IT system before 2021 when AI came around.

I also believe there's a bit of bad wording going on with the original comment. Take it up with that guy, lol.

This situation would have been easily preventable with basic understanding of what they're doing is what OP is saying. This leak is not something highly complex, it is painfully stupid on the side of the developers.

There's a difference between a hack, where data is exposed, compared to data exposure due to negligence or ignorance on the development side.

Or it gets them into a negative feedback loop since AI hardly ever tries to contradict you.

But yeah. At least they're opening up to someone/something.
