Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm

Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in.

LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations.

The evidence begs to differ.

216 million of these are sitting in living rooms.

Where are the regulators?

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days.

It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories.

I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming.

I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing.

Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

HEADS UP. Popular JSON formatter extension has started injecting geolocation tracking and donation UI into websites

Reddit thread seems to think they are also swapping tracking IDs for affiliates (a-la honey)

Uninstall and switch to another one

Coding was the bottleneck, then code reviews were the bottleneck. At some point, incidents are going to be the bottleneck.

Včeraj sem napisal, da sem analiziral novice. Zanimalo me je, koliko novic na tuje teme je relativno verna kopija novic v tujih medijih. Ali drugače, kje nastaja slovensko javno mnenje o dogodkih v tujini. To je odprlo tudi vprašanja o avtorstvu člankov, ki ni vedno jasno.

Seems Discord is having trouble mapping push notifications to the correct users.

This was a DM sent between 2 other people. I did not receive the DM but I did receive this push notification. 😂

I bet this is connected to their new username change rollout.

Many of my startup friends see that I used to be an investment banker and have consequently asked me to explain to them what's going on with SVB as I would explain it to a 7 year old, so here goes:

I'll never forget asking a guy who maintained 40yo mainframes for an insurance co why he didn't just migrate the apps.

His reply: the firm's actuarial code relies on specific bugs in the mainframe OS's floating-point handling. Run on any other system, it would produce chaos.

A tragic recent event in Korea: a huge landlord, owning hundreds of properties, suddenly passed away. This landlord managed to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars from his tenants - many were lending over 10x their annual salary to their landlord!
