Oops, fixed lol

If you actually want to do this, look at the NUBM44-V2 laser diode. 7 watts of output power and around $30 on eBay. Another $50 or so for a driver, heat sink, and lens and you can burn out cameras in seconds (you can also burn out your eyes so a good set of laser goggles is essential).

Yeah, the rotation was a bit of a surprise to me. Doesn’t seem like Waterfox has a setting to disable that, so I just disabled my browser’s access to the accelerometer and gyros entirely.

Looks like image upscaling to me, lots of phones do it by default these days.

It’s not the length of the horns that matters, but how well you can put them to use.

I recognize a lot of frequent posters, as well as a few people from some more niche communities. It’s nice that the platform is small enough for that to actually happen. I wouldn’t really expect anyone to recognize me, as I don’t comment a whole lot and haven’t made any posts.

The focus isn’t really an issue since at that distance everything is approximately at infinity (think taking a photo of two distant mountains; even if one is further than the other they’ll both be in focus).

As for tracking, it probably took some math to figure out where to point, but actually tracking shouldn’t be an issue. Hubble was moving much slower than the Earth relative to the satellite (hence the blurry background) so the tracking speed should be well within its capability.

Still a really impressive photo though!

They scrape data indiscriminately; I’m sure any Epstein files publicly accessible on the internet have been added to their databases. Perhaps they’d be filtered out before being used to train models but I’m skeptical they take that level of care with the data.

Stop putting your balls in my urn!

They’re based in Canada, and given their privacy-focused approach I can’t imagine they’d implement such a feature.

Wouldn’t this just be unenforceable for any Linux distros not directly owned/maintained by a US-based corporation? I don’t really see how they could force a distro to comply, unless they start going after individual maintainers who live in the US.

Does it count if my instance is defederated from lemmy.ml so I can’t interact with their communities in the first place?

I don’t see it as necessary. I have full disk encryption set up, which is sufficient to protect my data at rest. Even if I had secure boot set up, a sufficiently skilled agent could physically install a USB sniffer in my keyboard, flash a malicious BIOS to my motherboard, or just install a hidden camera to watch me type my password. And many TPMs have vulnerabilities that I’m sure government agencies are able to exploit.

Wish I could figure out how to unlock the sidequest, oh well…

This is definitely AI, but AI is such a vaguely defined term that it’s basically meaningless. Too many people these days mistake it for meaning “a computer that can think like a human” even though it encompasses everything from LLMs to chess playing algorithms to something like Minecraft zombie pathfinding.

That would make sense.

I don’t use Play Services and still get push notifications from Signal, so they’re clearly using an alternative implementation.

Even as a joke, sending a real advertisement to people is completely unacceptable and deserves an immediate permanent ban. If they had created an ad for something fictional I’d be a little less annoyed about it but it still seems like a bad idea.

Slop
