Fuck, AI is probably a step up from most of my teachers back in the day.

If you generate a test based on the workbook criteria, ai I would actually be able to come up with five different reasonable answers where only one is right instead of needing to pick the most right out of five almost identical correct answers. I really used to hate that shit.

Sans politics, life is not full of trick questions. Every test didn’t need to be a deranged brain teaser to prove we understood the content.

oh jesus, rabbit hole accepted, thanks!

You are greatly exaggerating how the system works and what it can generate, and you’re conflating this service’s ability with that of professional espionage gear.

Alice’s router is reading the signal between Alice’s devices and her router. As part of the wifi protocol, the router can get precise recprical information about the signal strength of the devices connected to it. It’s not radar, it’s i know the thermostat is connected and has -10db singal, it’s at -11db now so there’s something in the way, we have movement. Say she has a wifi TV and a wifi on her cellphone, if she’s in between one of those devices or one of them moves closer, they can sense a change and movement. While they could try to listen to everything in the neighborhood, all they’d get is noise and fluctuations they’re not building a picture, move of a corkboard with thumbtacks and string, but they have no idea what direction any of the tacks are in just how hard it is to get to them.

Bobs router is reading his stuff and ignoring alice’s stuff. otherwise bob would get false positives.

Any radio emission in your house could be used like this with the right receivers.

They’re not getting any directionailty from this, the router has no idea what things are in what direction, just that there are changes in field strength. The condos below you or above you would also set it off if they were trying to just listen to everything.

You keep referring to it as a lamp. It’s less like a lamp and more like a speaker. the sound can carry through walls, but it’s muffled. The directionality is severely reduced even if you had fine tuned directional antennas to pinpoint it. It’s a little better than sound, but far closer to sound than light. The router is more like a mic. It’s in one static spot and is simply omnidirecional.

It’s only abile to see a table liket he following

MAC1:098324F3C40E89 -11.1 MAC2:19834F3C440E62 -12.9 MAC3:398321F3C40E28 -110.1 MAC4:4983423C440E15 -25.3 MAC5:598323F3C40E98 -16.8

if one of the numbers change and the rest don’t, that’s movement. They’re not building pictures out of this.

Now, let’s talk faraday cages.

at 2.4GHz, your hole size would have to be about 6mm maximum. better off a three or less (like a microwave door)

at 5G that would be 3mm max You’re going to want brass mesh or something.

Then if you wanted to block mains, that’s powerful enough that you could be detected through changes in the the magnetic b field, good luck blocking that.

I had one once, a decade ago, no pain, but mine was black and white squares, some had x’s in them, it looked like some unholly mix of Apple and Xwindows just righ there in my vision in just about that overall shape you displayed. I also felt SUPER disconnected at the time. My wife and I were picking stuff up at storage, I just ignored it, got what i needed from storage and it went away in less than 5 minutes. I was thankful to not have the oft associated headache

You should start poaching the gaming industry, it’s shedding developers like mad. Most of them are familiar with several stacks so pickup up new stuff is nbd.

As long as we’re carrying cellphones with us at all times, none of this is particularly damning in comparison.

Signal attenuation is crap compared to directional homing in on the transmitter in your pocket.

Yeah they’re processed, but not passed through.

Now i just need a registrar that allows emoji…

I lost it at the fork bomb. I mean I hit valid because there was no way it was on the and not valid, but there’s no way i’d have expected that. after that I just kept guessing the most stupid answer and did pretty well

SIGSEGV gets me in the most trouble with my wife.

I didn’t remember but I thought I did, or I remembered incorrectly.

in all cases I think the part tripping you up

We can do better with teaching, news and infographics than a map that is just designed for ship navigation.

It’s like you’d run over a dozen kids in the trolly problem rather than a geriatric because there’s no perfect solution.

as long as they can charge for it :)

it’s a bell curve, at some point you have access to procurement :)

If all the two-monitor people get up and walk out, the company stops.

You can lose any other single rung there and still push on.

A two-monitor person who works so hard, they’re willing to give you three to make you happier.

A four-monitor person has access to inventory/procurement (it)

No, there aren’t perfect maps. There ARE better maps.

Mercator’s one trick is north is always straight up, so it’s great for navigation with a compass. If you’re navigating the oceans on a ship, or even using GPS in your car, Mercator is GOAT because you don’t have to twist it as your drive to keep north up. Unfortunately, we default to Mercator just about everywhere in places where it really has disadvantages.

If you’re just looking at the map to locate things, or compare countries there are dozens of better maps and our decision to default to mercator for most uses us

Africans: You know, 14th century mercator maps are horribly disproportionate over 1/2 the map and are the maps of reference for most online apps, software and textbooks. There are better projections that balance location for actual land mass, we should probably use those.

lemmy: garbage take.

Bring on the Wizzards

I do hope we get the luggage…

Don’t worry about the network side of things. It’s open source. Before they turn everything on its head would be forked and it would be replaced.

Calibre definitely works in Moon reader, The interface could be better but it’s serviceable.
