  • Per connexion would be pretty bad. Per network.

    Let’s say you want to set a static DHCP ip from your router. The only way to do so (from the router, I’m not talking from the phone), is by assigning an IP to a MAC address.

    If the address is randomised per connection, affecting a static DHCP ip would be impossible.

    Another thing a router often has is some sort of dhcp memory. It remembers the ip it gave to a certain MAC address for some time, then when the device connects back, it assigns the same IP it had before.

    So if the ip changes each time either the MAC address changes each time (not sure it’s default), or the router has no memory.




  • Even if it takes more space, there are still benefits over biofuels.

    The hydrogen can be created using electricity. Currently it is not very efficient, but only uses electricity and water. Electricity can come from de carbonated (/low carbon) sources.

    And a fuel cell will use that hydrogen to generate electricity by combining the hydrogen into water with outside oxygen.

    For the biofuel, it’s a big climate hoax. The issue with bio fuels, is that the energy required to produce them is huge. It required bacteria producing carbon emissions, and the fuel also produced carbon emissions. Whatever entered that plan, will get out, and even more because of the transformation. (i don’t remember which video from Undecided with Matt Ferell was about biofuels). Tho maybe it could be used for something. To get slightly less carbon emissions than with normal fuel.

    There may also be a solution with batteries. However the energy density for them is lower compared to hydrogen. Tho, there may be some battery innovation I saw passing by which could be pretty interesting.










  • The article is meh, but what is said in there is pretty much true.

    Unregulated technology is something we have now : ai generation for example.

    What is happening right now with the ai generation be text or image, is that they are the most privacy invasive thing there could be.

    For example chatgpt/Bing chat, or Google bard. They take every bit of text, analyse it and use it for future prompts.

    User do not know because it’s too long to read their huge privacy policy.

    And so people are puting in those prompts private elements, trade secrets, and elements they should not put in there.

    Image generation is currently a huge copyright issue.

    Worldcoin deployed balls, installed like art in multiple cities, with a camera to scan the eyeballs (and so their identity, as it seems to be unique for each person) of every person who just gazes into that lens. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/worldcoin-orb-ai-2341500

    So non regulated tech is a huge anti-people / pro money mess.

    For brain interfaces it may even be worse. Companies could just put ads in your brain directly, and everything that was described in that article.

    I saw a little part of a movie some long time ago, no idea what it was. There was some brain interface allowing communication and displaying images.

    When just enabled it was a huge mess adverts everywhere, noise ads, so bad that it would make that character unable to think and know what he wanted to do.

    In order to get back into what he had to do he had to use dampener to remove all those ads and noise, all the mess.

    And the first part with so much noise that we cannot do anything from our own will is what will happen for non regulated brain interface after enough people have adopted it.

    And we may not have such brain “ad blocking” tech as in the movie.










  • Nah. It’s pretty much a stupid article.

    You cannot own a letter. However if the brand is too close to another, there could be something to base a lawsuit on.

    Given the difficulty in protecting a single letter, especially one as popular commercially as ‘X’, Twitter’s protection is likely to be confined to very similar graphics to their X logo," said Douglas Masters, a trademark attorney at law firm Loeb & Loeb.

    “The logo does not have much distinctive about it, so the protection will be very narrow.”

    Insider reported earlier that Meta had an X trademark, and lawyer Ed Timberlake tweeted that Microsoft had one as well.

    As it’s stated in the article, meta, Microsoft and hundred own a trademark. Which means a very interesting thing : This article is s*

    Why didn’t Microsoft and meta go after the 100 other companies who have a “trademark” on the letter x?

    You can’t own a letter.
