Comcast turns your Xfinity WiFi into a home motion detector

If it's just a modem with no WiFi, then it's not capable of this specific thing.

Nope: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wi-fi-routers-used-to-detect-human-locations-poses-within-a-room
It's gotten even more capable where it can basically act as a presence sensor through walls as well. It's not simple device tracking at all.

That's what they are deploying. This has been possible for awhile, but has recently gotten much creepier: https://groundy.com/articles/wifi-densepose-full-body-tracking-through-walls-using-your/

Immutable Linux for low end PCs?
Reply in thread
Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere...etc.
Depending on what you're doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you're talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.

Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You're probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you'd expect running at under 4G. Safely.
That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.

Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It's not that it's insurmountable or anything, but I'm answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It's just a known fact.

If the markets reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US should nationalize them
And saddle them with the debt. Fuck the investors and the cyclical scam machine. They should forfeit that money outright.

Don't give the Foo Fighters a pass for doing corporate gigs for these assholes either. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger
All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.

Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained
This video kind of misses the mark on delivering the points of the title, but these are the simplest boiled down points of the community gripes:
Gigabyte (remember them?) did this same slow slide of enshittification about 10 years ago. The issue pretty much boils down to a company producing too many different types of things, instead of staying good at the things they do well, and the community has noticed and is calling for boycotts. This will no doubt put them on the defensive for years to come, and affect their overall standing in the larger community until they correct course.

Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
Because then they can avoid social media again by building their own catalog of interest.

Republicans Try to Blame Democrats, the Media, CRT for Shooting
Let's run down the list of the shooter's known traits and see how this fits the GOP agenda:
YUP! Sure sounds like a CRT-lovin' Democrat operative to me! Can't wait to hear how these fascist psychos try to spin the web of Deep State bullshit into this one.
NEWSFLASH: There's only one side of this political climate that has been advocating violence from Day 1, dipshits, and it sure as fuck isn't coming from the Democrats.
