Jesus dude you’re just comin at me with the insults, kinda ironic you’re calling me an asshole. 🤣
Your article explicitly states they are banning the assholes. Which is good. It’s a very weird choice of article to back up your “meta knows the hardware is a problem” claim.
Bottom line is, humans are assholes. This is known. They are assholes with all kinds of tech, according to you that includes Lemmy. They can also be creeps here. That doesn’t mean the tech itself is the problem.
I’ll spell it out this time, a hammer can be used to break a window, does that mean we should ban hammers?
The article which does nothing to suggest meta glasses were actually an integral part to this? Again, cell phone in shirt pocket. Accomplishes the same thing. Or hell, a pen cam which is a thing that’s been around for decades and is a fraction of the cost.
The problem is that an asshole decided to ignore the “no recording” request. There are dozens if not hundreds of discreet ways the asshole could have done this, in the same way there are dozens of tools you can use to break a window.
I mean, they absolutely do. You can usually get away with the generics but I’ve run across my fair share of monitors that support minimum resolutions until the appropriate driver is installed.
Clarification, healthcare usually lasts till the end of the month, because that’s what already been paid for.
Ha, honestly as someone living in the US that sounds like a lot more than I’ve ever got.
“Yeah, so we punished our end users because of something a manufacturer did.”
Like, I get the sentiment. But “no pushing drivers” ain’t the solution.
I also have to wonder if M$ can do that? If the drivers are being loaded by the monitor and not something like windows update, M$ has virtually no control over it.
To connect to those, you’re going through a Datacenter, or your not online.
<.< I mean, you’re as disallowed to stick you’re face in those places just as much as you’re disallowed to stick a camera. This feels like a “think of the children” argument.
If I stick my phone in my shirt pocket, I can record and live stream it, how is the camera being mounted to my head any different?
Like, I get it. People are assholes, and I 100% agree that is the case. But assholes have been recording themselves doing asshole things for decades, this isn’t new behavior, and it feels like its being used to vilify tech for existing.
Not… really. I can kinda see where you’re coming from, but if you are assigning a .ToString() to a variable, the only type it could be is a string.
It’s not guessing, it’s inference. You’ve provided enough information to know what the type is, so it is now that type. The moment you introduce ambiguity, such as
var test = 1there are many things that variable could be, so you can no longer infer its type.Inference is not guessing. Can it go wrong? Certainly! But its quite rare. And the solution in those rare cases is explicit typing.
