Don’t worry guys, Google has declared that it’s uncommon for cheese to not stick to pizza, so you don’t need to worry about their AI generating a dangerous answer based on a joke Reddit comment 👍 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/google-ai-im-feeling-depressed-cheese-not-sticking-to-pizza-error-rcna153301

1. Quote from https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/google-ai-im-feeling-depressed-cheese-not-sticking-to-pizza-error-rcna153301: A Google spokesperson said the company believes users are deliberately attempting to trip up the technology with uncommon questions. Some deeper dives into why the answers have gone awry suggest that the tool is pulling from surprising sources. 404 Media reported that a Google search query for “cheese not sticking to pizza” pulled an 11-year-old Reddit comment that jokingly suggested mixing Elmer’s Glue into the sauce. Even though Google has now removed the AI suggestion from searches for “cheese not sticking to pizza,” according to an NBC News search, the top result is still the Reddit post, with the comment about Elmer’s Glue highlighted. A Google spokesperson wrote that queries like “cheese not sticking to pizza” are not searched very often, and are only being noticed because of the viral posts about wrong answers on social media platforms like Twitter — of which there are many.

I thought I’d try my hand at clarifying the App Store external payments popup:

1. “App Store” full-screen popup parodying the one Apple provided a sample screenshot of today (or the one we previously saw for Dutch dating apps). It’s a wall of long, centered text saying: So you’ve decided to not give us money. Can you hear the shareholders crying? That’s your fault. I can’t believe you’ve done this. Mark my words, you WILL be scammed. App developers are not to be trusted in the use of the built-in Safari web browser. Whatever happens next is on you, not us. Apple will not be liable for the 3% you save on your Robux or whatever this is, although we’re totally cool with you giving your credit card details for a dropshipped item you just saw in an Instagram ad. And if you thought you were sticking it to the man, just know we still take 27%. Learn More Buttons: Continue, and Ask App Not to Be Greedy

Did you know doing End Task on the End Task dialog in Windows 11 23H2 ends the operating system too? Figured this out by accident, that was fun 🫠

1. An unsaved file is open in Paint. I right click the taskbar icon and select End Task, making it prompt to save the file. Since the app hasn’t exited, a dialog appears asking if I’d like to force terminate it. I right click the taskbar icon of this dialog and select End Task on it. Windows then blue screens with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

in reply to
- Mac84 ?
@mac84tv This is before you consider the effect of MDM activation lock. Legitimately decommissioned Macs that could be reused simply can’t be. They don’t hold sensitive data any more, the encryption key has been thrown away. So the entire machine is ewaste because someone doesn’t feel like going into Intune to delete a few serials. It’s happening with currently supported Macs 😬
