Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn’t turn on, it doesn’t hold a charge, keyboard doesn’t work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

Take it to their “genius” bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I’m in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

Why the Apple “genius” didn’t share this option with me? They don’t actually care about helping.

And that’s the rub with Apple. They don’t give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

Banks have laws and regulations that they must abide by to secure the access to and information of customer accounts. A security team will surely have to sign off on whatever the app developer or customer experience manager wants to implement.

Are they?

So that you can self host I think

I like this approach cuz it plays ball and can be reused for a number of products. Could have an “appliances” network and make a reusable fake “appliances” identity for any device that wants to IoT.

i hate how popular it’s become to hate on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.

I completely agree, but the inverse is also true:

I hate how popular it’s become to depend on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.

Honestly the article is actually dissing the people, not the technology. It’s about a dude who has no other contributions to society just wanting to absorb in AI tech and rely on it for literally everything.

I’m an AI enthusiast, but I absolutely do not have the same perspective on it being used in that way. To me, they are picking on a subculture of incel/antisocial humans who want to use AI as a crutch, which doesn’t really make any sense, which is why they’re idiots.

That said I think you may be right about the strawman. I mean, I personally haven’t met anyone obsessed with AI like the onion dude is described. Could be a made up persona, but with the way tech companies are going I don’t think so.

I feel like this is inevitable with any new tech. Social media, cryptocurrency, instant messaging, the Internet itself. ML is the new kid that people want to use any way possible to make money, until they realize as you said it can only help in so many situations.

More often than not a nice sql query and some programming gets the job done.

I don’t think it’ll stay this way forever, just a lot of annoying hype atm, but I don’t fault the technology itself for that.

I actually did an ML project at my job, much to my chagrin, to develop a chat app that lets us ask questions about our product.

It actually turned out really cool and was dead simple to implement. Now our employees (customer service team esp) can ask questions with a “trust but verify” approach to solve customer problems and surface information quickly. Saves a lot of time otherwise spent sifting thru documentation and support articles.
