Fake news? On my social media??
I'm surprised that this post is still up so many hours after i (and i'm sure others) reported it, especially given the large number of moderators that this community has.
New York State not New York City.
I don’t know why Mamdani is pictured
the text in this image is also just flat-out wrong: the proposed legislation does not actually "ban AI from answering questions" on these subjects at all, as this post claims it does.
https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2026/kristen-gonzalez/ny-state-senator-kristen-gonzalez-her-bill-address-ai explains that her bill is strictly about impersonating licensed professionals:
We have documented instances of AI chatbots providing false medical license numbers to users and documented cases of real harm from AI chatbots providing misinformation. This is what my common-sense legislation addresses—protecting users from misinformation, scams, and fraud. This legislation does not prohibit a user from asking a chatbot questions or receiving general information and advice, as long as the chatbot is not presenting that information as a licensed professional. It would also not prohibit licensed professionals from consulting AI technology in the course of their work.
640B ought to be enough for anybody
It is risky to carry encrypted devices across the border which you are not prepared to give them the passwords to.
In most cases they won't ask you to decrypt anything, but they do sometimes randomly and when they do if you refuse then you can/will be denied entry and/or they'll keep the device(s) indefinitely.
One approach to avoid this problem is to create an encrypted disk image (your operating system hopefully comes with a program to do this, you shouldn't need to install anything) and then store it online somewhere and then download it after you've crossed the border. Read about how to pick a strong yet memorable passphrase.
It was reported last year that the US was going to start requiring that you disclose all of your social media accounts used in the previous five years, but that did not actually go into effect in December as it had been announced that it would. Something along those lines could still happen later this year though: Here and here are articles from March and May of this year about it.
it was the style at the time
but actually (as the other comment says) uppercase file extensions were a holdover from when the entire filename could only be uppercase
The Bullshit thing about these phishing email tests is if you look at the actual headers they are allowed past the server level spam filters and in a back door to your email address. They would never pass the basic filters.
Being able to bypass the automated filtering is entirely logical, because they are testing and training humans and not the spam filters.
They are not even training you for reality.
They are training you to be the next line of defense after the automated filters are defeated. Which is, obviously, a thing which does happen frequently - eg, in every real phishing attack which succeeds.
These “online safety” companies create this baloney meat training so that your IT manager can say they are doing something, and your company can report compliance with whatever code they are responsible to, so they can be insured.
There is some truth to that, but on the other hand at any large enough organization many people will still fail these tests. And, even if you're sure that you're too smart for them, don't you think that being periodically subjected to these tests probably does actually make some people a bit more cautious?
I posted this nice thing here three days ago, at least, and have posted plenty of others which also don't involve people dying.
wow, i expected you'd make the cut, but i guess you just weren't posting hard enough.
meanwhile @CARCOSA@hexbear.net is not only on the list but was honored with a personal regex and a comment line!
