Doubt. The law likely talks about making unauthorized recordings. There is likely nothing in the law that would disallow automatic transcription if no recording is created.

Unless the law is extremely vague such as “it is unlawful for a microphone to pick up conversations” the law likely doesn’t cover this situation.

I am more than happy (and eager) to be proven wrong, but in my experience the law tends to lag behind tech by quite a bit.

Ah fair enough

Not that hard to understand. They have an extremely large dataset to analyze for “subjects adjacent to these searches” and it returns “kayaking” among other things. Then just show ads for those related things. You ignore the things you’re not considering as background noise, and notice the ones related to your new hobby.

<.< Let me just throw two scenarios at you real quick to show you why that’s a problem:

That third party can easily just use your connection to view and download CSAM and all external monitoring would suggest that activity was coming from within your network. Because it is.

That third party has full network access to anything your PC does (or at least that nic) which includes anything in your local network. Insecure IoT, other PCs, etc.

Cop sees camera, cop grabs camera, no proof of camera.

I mean, pretty much

Constants are known at compile time, and therefore are more performant as they don’t need to be reasoned about at runtime.

These days it’s not much of a performance boost but never a bad idea to use constants where appropriate.

More like ATM Teller Machine

I like TacticalRMM though may be a little more in depth than you’re looking for.

Haha apparently I already own a bunch of these.

I know this options exists, but honestly I don’t think I have reliable enough infrastructure. It’s hardly ever offline, but my backup game is super weak, and I have had to rebuild from scratch once in the past three years.

What happens if I fuck up again and have to rebuild? Just feels like a massive potential failure point.

Not gonna lie, this is super, super suspicious.

The reason stated isn’t even something that would legitimately prevent sharing the source.

Hard pass. Honestly this’ll taint my feelings going forward as well.

Eeeeh I have mixed feelings. I was the parent that had the ability to tack and log my kids, because I was/am heavily into tech. But the only time it was ever really used was “where the hell is [child] he never came home from school” or “what time did I leave [place]?” Or similar.

no notes.

Wait…

Oh to be clear I was saying if it was legitimately an age reversing elixir I’d take a stab in the eye.

Though honestly I’d still take it to cure glaucoma, that shits scary.

Honestly? If it legitimately did de-age people I doubt this would be that big a sticking point.

It really comes down to what the product is intended for. If these were only something that could be used for creating a product to sell, I would agree with you. But in this case it is easily something someone could want for personal use.

Not to be rude, but they gave you barebones experience then lied about your experience.

A senior dev isn’t something you can crash course in even a year, it’s multiple years of experience layered in top of each other.

A crash course is essentially just a junior dev. Your company just wanted to charge more for your hours.

You can walk down to a local Walmart and slap a $20 on the counter, walking away with funds even if you have no car and no credit card.

Hard for a teenager to get steam games without this.

You’d be surprised how many use general delivery, a shelter, or soup kitchen they frequent.
