Comment Huawei (Score 1) 238

Huawei have had dark factories and placing them on the sanctioned list of companies only spurred them to "get good" even more. Even before they came under fire they were already scaling back their workforce at the factories as they had already started to see the benefits of dark factories. What other dark factories other industries may have is hard to tell but this is an evolution of manufacturing technology.

At this point, if I was running a data broker company, I'd be hoping that these companies don't pay because these hackers are doing their work for them, i.e. collecting data, albeit illegally. These data broker companies should just be siphoning all this leak data and going through it and aggregate into their system so they can make their existing system better.

Submission + - British Transport Police Decriminalize Bicycle Theft (bbc.com) 8

An anonymous reader writes: The British Transport Police (BTP) says it will not investigate bike thefts outside stations where the bicycle has been left for more than two hours.

Commuters leave thousands of cycles on racks outside stations every day, including in specially built bike parks with CCTV. Critics say the BTP policy means those facilities are not secure and theft has effectively been decriminalised.

Any bikes stolen worth less than £200 will not be investigated, neither will car thefts if the vehicle has been left for more than two hours.

Will the fee also stop Facebook's AI slop, reels and other crap from people you don't know?

Never mind, it still won't bring me back. I take a look once in a while and it's 99% crap. Even people I'm interested in who do post don't show up in my feed, which totally defeats the purpose of the bloody thing.

FB is dead and it doesn't attract young people at all anymore. Insta will follow in due course.

Insta will follow when it's filled with all of the parents who have "graduated" from Facebook.

That being said, I wonder if paying for no ads includes no tracking across the internet, and no selling of the user's data. After all, the "if it's free you're the product" mantra doesn't (heh...shouldn't) apply any more.
