That was my first thought. Just tell them it’s for AI training. Tech companies will back it because they have to set that precedence.

I stopped using Twitter many, many years ago. It was just full of shit and a place for people that can’t keep thoughts in their head, no matter how uninteresting and pointless they are to speak aloud.

I’ve been fine. Much better than those that still use it, as far as is clear to me. Just leave. It’ll only be an improvement.

I used to be surf patrol. Would explain it, “You’re far more likely to die in the car on the way to the beach. If you survive that, odds are you drown before a shark is even in the area. So stay where I can see you and you might just get lucky one day.”

Yeah but you’re not going to get shot at for leaving… In fact leaving is a very easy and simple thing to do if you can let go of your low quality comfort zone.

I just go back to sleep. Never figured a noise in the house to be anything other than the house, shit falling, or a rodent. All stuff I’m not getting up for and definitely not finding a weapon for.

It has backfired, though. Once, about 30 years ago, a bicycle got taken from the front lawn. That should’ve been a bullet in someone’s head as justice, of course.

I get it.

320Z is not a.product ID or code.

That’s an O, for ounces and the Z makes that obvious.

It’s like five Empire State Buildings or football fields or pickup trucks, but really it’s only four.

“Appears to be a generative AI strategy to optimise contemt velocity.”

You want a ruined plow? That’s how you get a ruined plow.

I don’t know why I come here for farming advice…

That’s the price you pay for such luxuries like “Fire safety compliant” and “Toilet”.

I’ve worked for two organisations that distributed licences for users. Being able to prove, under scrutinisation, that your general requests do not need to be questioned for that level. Anything above your level of liberty in the data governance would be checked—though 99% of the time you already know this and explain in full detail on the request to help.

It worked perfectly and I don’t know why it’s still not the norm.

In a ‘wet cement’ org structure, often the specialists in an area know far more about what’s going on than the juniors gatekeeping. If you aren’t buddies with the person on top, you join the queue and a 5 min job becomes 6 months and several meetings; if you don’t already botch a dodgy workaround before then.

Edit: I’m in year 3 of getting the Oracle SQL add-on allowed to direct query, read only, in Excel. My current workaround is to use the IDE to export to CSV, store on SP, then PQ that… And, yeah, I have write access in the IDE even though I keep telling them that’s bad… Apparently, that solution is more secure. I’ve spoken to the CIO about the concerns and how it breaks the fundamentals of our data governance framework. The new infrastructure architecture gets it, but has to spin the better way of doing things as a “trial” which has taken 6 months to approve and counting…

That was not what you should’ve gotten from my point.

But, yes. That is also obviously correct.

Edit: Granted, my bad for really dumbing down the wider scope of it. I re-read the comment now seeing why, when regarding the specifics of signal disruptions of a network for identifying—which is a part of IDing and tracking secondary to the actual top layer identifying—is a thing. Thought that went without saying…

Am learning this is somehow surprisingly new to people. Which is honestly the bigger concern.

You’re dumbing down old technology with interpersonal wording. Like it’s the first time people figured out how to read frequencies interrupted by bodies of things…

It’s 2026 and you’re reminiscing on SNR being a side effect of general proximity like it’s 2006 and clean direct signal is how comms still work.

The fact that this is now a household product for the masses… Catch up.

Edit; Sorry. Am learning from my inbox that this is a new highlighted thing to people. Was being harsh in hindsight. Thought it was common knowledge so was sharing further common knowledge.

If anyone didn’t already know, this isn’t anything new. It’s basically just WiGLE but not public level, and is using that to track devices coming and going.

You don’t need Xfinity WiFi to do this. Everything you have with a BT or WiFi antenna is already out there and everyone can see it. It’s logged and recorded. Can literally see my neighbour’s got two iPhones moving around right now and I didn’t even get out of bed. Oh, they also have a JBL Encore Essential… That explains something that happened last week.

I’ve had this, though can’t remember where. Europe or.Asia.

One of those older 60s era elevator styles. When you got off at the bathroom, you’d hit a lock button and the elevator wouldn’t open there. It was a little room with a very low ceiling.

I mean, literally that’s how it works. But once it’s out, it doesn’t recombust unless the fire crew flicks a cigarette.

I would never use a hotel TV by choice. When it happens, it’s because there’s literally nothing else to do in that moment. But even then, it’s a struggle of shit quality, the most fucked up position in the room imagineable, unintelligible audio, and a bombardment of unskippale advertising.

Really, the only thing entertaining is seeing if any previous guests stayed logged into Netflix, then finding weird stuff to add to their ‘Continue Watching’ category.

Oof.

A depressing truth bomb there.

Yeah they do. That’s why they’re all expensively rehiring and struggling with budgets. I mean, they know now.

Some execs are still clutching onto Fortnite aspirations.
