Not forgotten, I didn't know it existed. Looks like fun. I wonder if I can find this on a stream somewhere.

I don't know about streaming, but a few years ago one could still get the series (2 seasons) on DVD.

In this video, an AI (prompted by Riley Goodside, an engineer at Scale AI) offers a sad, piano-backed performance of the MIT license, a permissive software agreement that allows for free reuse of the material thereby licensed. In the future, I demand that all licenses be distributed in this form
I now await the metal version of the CPOL (I will accept an AC/DC-esque version, however)

Half of security professionals say it's almost impossible to find the right balance between security and employee productivity, and 79 percent don't think their security protections are adequate. The other 21% are too busy dealing with a hack to answer the question

There is no such thing as "Internet Security" unless you disconnect.
Being an IT individual since before the internet was release to grandma and grandma I can tell you
that they bring in thier pcs with Symantec "Internet Security" AND McAfee Total Security (both because
they don't know to uninstall one or the other) and have them infected to the gills with every piece of malware
ever created. This is getting to be less and less of a thing though as they die off and the next up just use thier phones.
My lease is up in July and after 30 some odd years - we quit.

It's like home security. No home security package will prevent a really determined thief from breaking in, but if one makes it hard enough, the thieves will go elsewhere.

We are happy to announce that we just published an early preview of support for testing Native AOT with MSTest, and we welcome all of you to try it. Because it's always a good idea to test your code ahead of time

You'd think they'd AOT the definition of AOT rather than after the 5th use of the term in 2 paragraphs.

Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether. You apparently can't check out any time you want
"Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped." <-- corporate "brilliance" at its worst

What the absolute flying fracklebunnies!? Here I was thinking it was fully automated, clever AI, image recognition, etc. But no, it was Indian people watching every single item that every single customer picked up! That is utterly, utterly barking mad.
If they were supposed to be training AI then it would seem that it didn't learn.
And they are keeping 'Just Walk Out' in some locations. So do they still have some Indian guys watching those ones?

Kroger/Smith's tried their new idea--check out as you go--and dropped it. Almost nobody used it (aside from us nerds.)

The girls at Dollar General told me they are ditching self checkouts.
It may not be chain-wide but more regional, like locking up deodorant or whatever. These stores around here don't tend to do the stupid locking stuff up because people don't tend to steal. But that stereotype was challenged by self-checkouts. This is "interesting"... because why? They didn't steal before (evidenced by the typical stuff not being locked up).
Do self-checkouts make people so angry they forsake a bit of morality in acts of retail theft vengeance?
Did "just walk out" make people who'd otherwise not steal want to find ways to "get away with it"?
