Soldiers can think. Soldiers can refuse an order that is immoral and such. Autonomous robots / drones do not. They get a command and they will execute that command without hesitation and without pesky and problematic morals, human decency and such.
No wonder military and those who control the military have a hard-on for such things. Imagine an army of these things, spread out in a country. This is a slippery slope similar to enabling content filtering and blocking that is deemed "dangerous" and "problematic" by those who control it. Sooner or later a country have become a China that with a push of a button can remove or hide content and can murder citizens that are demonstrating and such. Now this scares me because it is likely to happen bit by bit. What about a drone that "malfunctioned" and murdered for example a political opponent or a speaker with a great following like Dr. Jordan Peterson?
It is called false advertising. Like how the McDonald's burgers look so delicious on picture but is in fact a soggy mess. In some countries that is illegal. Sadly the law is selective. Which is why I make my burgers at home.
So you like twitter to be your personal little echo-chamber? Censoring speech is never the answer. It is good to expose yourself to content you disapprove of. It is mentally more healthy then to censor.
-Windows 10, you can block the places it sends the data to with firewall. -For license plate readers you can install IR emitting diods on the license plate. For human eyes they will see nothing, for a camera the license plate will light up like a Christmas tree. The light will be so intense that all the camera will see is a white blob. Do note that some camera manufacturers have fixed this issue. -Google, if it is the online services, not sure, use a VPN maybe. -For the rest use a good firewall. Some firewalls can selectively filter out certain data packages. Which is why spying apps are starting to use encryption.
This is one reason Android security should have a feature that allows Android to send fake data to Android apps. For instance if an app refuse to run until you have given it permission to your contacts and location data when it clearly do not use either you should be allowed to put the app on a list that switches Android from sending real data to sending fake data. The app will be happy since it is getting data and you are happy since the app is getting fake data.
It is too bad it is so easy to brick a phone when you want a different version of Android. Like one version with real security options.
If all the apps got fake location data you would not need to worry about malicious apps, like the google apps having an opt out options in the apps that does nothing as in abusing the data it have access to.
I find this very sad. As a child my friends and I spent lots of time and had lots of fun in the indoor swimming pool. Baths should be kept open, it gives children a place to go. Better a pool with a lifeguard then children going to unmonitored lakes.
Overprotective parents aka helicopter parents is an issue. It is even proven by studies and research. For instance: 'Helicopter parenting' linked to behavioural problems in children. Have you not seen those tv series of spoiled children/teenagers trying it out on their own and what happens when they do or those freakout videos of children/teenagers having tamper-tantrums because various stuff that exist on youtube?
Children need to experience the harsh nature of life in small bursts under the supervision of a parent or just a responsible adult. One job of many that parents have is supposed to teach their children to become independent and be able to handle the harsh brutal reality of life.
That includes swimming lessons as early as possible. I was never left alone in the water until my parents were satisfied that I could swim. I was even taught how to rescue people from drowning and what to do when a person had drowned (think it is called "DHLR Heart & Lung Rescue" in English).
Feminism and other political nonsense have also infected the show. I hate when politics infect a show. I groan every time I get slapped in the face with political correctness, feminism, etc. It destroys the show.
There exist custom ROMs that are secure. Wish it was easier to install without the chance of bricking your phone. EU is looking into getting a single charger for everything perhaps EU can also look into making it a right to allow users to install a custom ROM which the companies must follow if they want to sell in EU.
Finding bugs can be done automatically. Research is being done to use AI to locate bugs and exploit them. I can see such software with a feature to identify fake bugs aka non-exploitable bugs.
What is it called if someone from for example UK exposes those identities? Internet is global and we have satellites that can read news papers from space with ease. Anyone with such access can monitor CIA HQ and see who are there and expose them that way. So why focus on fitness trackers and such?! Seems odd to me when the same info can easily be collected another way which is just as easy.
You can reinstall everything and then make a backup. Then after a year, reset to that backup. Some school computers even resets after a student have logged off their account or the hard drive is read only or a software keeps track of new files and removes them after log off, so very many ways to keep a computer clean.
When you have to update a software, reset, update software then update backup. The reset method would be perfect if it were not for the update issue. With some software you can keep track of what a software installs so when you want to remove the software you can do it with that software, it will remove everything from the install. What files the software creates after the install will be left undeleted. Many methods, none of them perfect.
It could be perfect but that requires the operating system to change and support it and become better at installing updates and removing old files that will become unused after the update.
I have had reports that CCleaner can cause issues because it removes something that was still in use. Some have reported CCleaner bricked their computer.
I see CCleaner as another form of a "ram cleaner". A ram cleaner tries to allocate as much memory as possible and then it frees it which leaves free ram behind. But all it does is push the memory that were in the ram to the page file, causing slowdowns when the memory is requested and needs to be put back to the ram again. Snake-oil software. Many users do not know any better. Which is good, this is how I earn my paycheck. No matter how many times I tell users what not to do they ignore me and do it anyway. Well, it is their money, I will happily take it away from them as punishment for not listening to me.
I think the registry were supposed to replace INI files which had many drawbacks and limitations. The problem is that they just added another feature with other drawbacks. Recently Microsoft have started to use XML files which also have many drawbacks and limitations. So now we have INI files, the registry and XML files. Microsoft loves to add to a problem instead of solving it correctly the first time.
The common cold have already been concentrated into a deadly form in labs but it is only used for research. At least currently. There are several ways you can weaponize it and we can in fact do that today. We have been able to for some years now. Oh and common cold should be considered a group name. There are hundreds of viruses that can cause a cold.
One of the main issues is infecting one country, it can easily spread to your home country. Another issue is mutation risk. Biology is imperfect. The weapon could mutate which could render the vaccine protection ineffective.
The law is the law, they would be punished the same way. Just like murderers be punished the same way. How are you not following the logic? If you have trouble understanding do not hesitate to ask questions. I do not bite (unless you want me too).
Right, people will lose their job. The company could be forced to pay just as normal until they cant any more during the ban. That is just how it is. No one said the world was not harsh.
Instead of putting someone in the company in jail you could ban the company from selling anything for 10 years or something like that. Punish what company wants which is money. Companies will think twice before doing something like that. If the company will go bankrupt due to the ban then so be it, they have themselves to blame. Jail is a harsh sentence for a person. People can die of old age in jail, they did it to themselves. Not being able to earn money is a harsh sentence for a company. Companies can go bankrupt due to sell ban, they did it to themselves. Seems fair and logical.
"Lastly, salinity levels in oceans are predicted to rise, which would make filtering water more expensive. The more salt there is to filter out, the more energy required. That’s why plants often convert brackish water (think lightly salted potato chips vs. regular) to clean water. But brackish water is not as prevalent as ocean water."
Guess what resource wars will fight about in the future?
As far as I know, desalination have never been a viable option. It is too slow and use too much energy compared to the result output.
"The energy requirements are so high that the cost for a lot of countries is too much.That’s why it’s mainly used in regions lacking freshwater, ships, and military vessels.
There are environmental concerns too. Desalination plants take in salt water straight from the ocean and can kill or harm fish and other small ocean life as water travels from the source to the plant."
