I would imagine that depends on what the user says. Over time a lot of information can be unintentionally disclosed.

Rikkitic: In the context of another conversation, the Perplexity AI pointed out to me that every single scrap of conversation it has with every single user, everything, is being retained indefinitely for potential future court use.

I appreciate that but it did sound genuine. Apparently it is an unintended side effect of the New York Times suit. Happy to learn it is an hallucination.

Uber, Ola, Didi, whatever the local versions are....

 

There's more than one.

 

For some of us.

 

Out here in the provincial urban centres, there's less than one.
It's the taxi or walk.

 

The discussion was about Melbourne not your provincial centre. 

Does anyone else find it absurd how slow modern software can be? I just got "Loading document contents..." for a few seconds when opening a 9388-byte plain text file from my local SSD.

Agreed. It's awful how things have regressed. :(

I believe (no evidence, study needed) that Windows would be so much faster if Microsoft stopped adding features no one asked for and removing features no one uses.

Case in point, today's "update" add new features:

"Lock screen widgets improvements. You can now add, remove, and rearrange Lock screen widgets. And these widgets now support a new small sizing option."

"Widgets improvements. You can now configure multiple dashboards in the Widgets board, and there’s a new navigation bar on the left for switching between the widget dashboards and other views like the Discover feed, which is “more organized, personalized, and engaging.”"

The biggest improvement I made to Windows was getting rid of widgets altogether!

Is there a generation with problems around understanding safety and security? From Stuff:

 

What. The. Fuck:

 

Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Pilmer, Whangārei Area Investigations Manager, said the couple were contacted by someone claiming to be from their bank, who instructed them to provide their PINs and leave their eftpos cards in their mailbox for collection.

 

“Sadly, over the weekend tens of thousands of dollars has been taken out of their accounts,” Pilmer said.

Yes there is, and they act like being rude on a phone is not something you can do when people call you and try to scam you.

My old aunt was so shocked when I had a scam phone call with her around and told the person what to do to themselves in words that would not work on here.

Apparently to them you can't be rude on the phone even to someone that you think is not telling the truth. Its illegal or some crap. No S sherlock, so is trying to scam people.

These scammers appear to target households with landlines, who tend to be older and less tech-savvy.

I've posted this before, but MS Word in 1998 was faster and more responsive than MS Word is today, despite the hardware having improved about ten thousand times over. 

Old word was great on small documents, but it would totally just crash when they got large and leave corrupt files in its wake. Since the change to .docx I have never had that happen even on many 100s of pages with a crapload of figures in it.

People that loved old word never seemed to actually use it beyond a few dozen pages.
