Social media giants confronted a familiar dilemma over user content moderation after murder suspect Luigi Mangione's arrest in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO on Monday, highlighting the [38]platforms' varied approaches to managing digital footprints of criminal suspects. Meta quickly removed Mangione's Facebook and Instagram accounts under its "dangerous organizations and individuals" policy, while his account on X underwent a brief suspension before being reinstated with a premium subscription. LinkedIn maintained his profile, stating it did not violate platform policies. His Reddit account was suspended in line with the platform's policy on high-profile criminal suspects, while his Goodreads profile fluctuated between public and private status. The New York Times adds: When someone goes from having a private life to getting public attention, online accounts they intended for a small circle of friends or acquaintances are scrutinized by curious strangers -- and journalists. In some cases, these newly public figures or their loved ones can shut down the accounts or make them private. Others, like Mr. Mangione, who has been charged with murder, are cut off from their devices, leaving their digital lives open for the public's consumption. Either way, tech companies have discretion in what happens to the account and its content. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects companies from legal liability for posts made by users. apply tags__________ 175646387 story [39]Microsoft [40]Microsoft Hijacks Keyboard Shortcut To Bring Copilot To Your Attention [41](theregister.com) [42]10 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 12, 2024 @11:55AM from the my-way-or-highway dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: Copilot has gone native for Windows Insiders and commandeered a popular keyboard shortcut in the process. The move from a Progressive Web App (PWA) to a native binary -- although most of it appears to still be a website, just not running as a PWA -- will be welcomed. Microsoft noted that once the app update has been installed, Copilot will appear in the system tray. However, the assistant's quick view feature has been [43]given the Alt+Space keyboard shortcut. This is already used by many other applications, including Microsoft's own PowerToys. PowerToys Run, for example, uses Alt+Space to open a launcher into which users can type in the name of the service they are seeking. Alt+Space is also used to show the context menu of the active window. Therefore, Microsoft's decision to hand the shortcut over to Copilot is unlikely to please keyboard warriors who are used to their shortcuts working in a particular way. The Windows vendor acknowledged that the shortcut was already in use by many apps, saying: "For any apps installed on your PC that might utilize this keyboard shortcut, Windows will register whichever app is launched first on your PC and running in the background as the app that is invoked when using Alt+Space." apply tags__________ 175646119 story [44]Privacy [45]BeReal Accused of Annoying Users Into Sharing Their Data [46]9 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 12, 2024 @11:09AM from the hall-of-shame dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: BeReal, the in the moment social media platform, is far from its 2022 heyday, but that hasn't stopped one organization from going after it. Austrian advocacy group Noyb has filed [47]a complaint surrounding the platform's data consent banner practices. The organization claims that the banner disappears if users accept that their personal data can inform advertising practices, but if they click reject then the banner appears daily. Noyb filed its complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL) as Voodoo, a French company, bought BeReal in June -- the practice in question started in July. "BeReal's daily attempt to pressure its users into accepting the tracking for personalised advertising has a significant impact on user behaviour. Consent given under these circumstances is not freely given, which means it doesn't meet the requirements established in Article 4(11) GDPR," Noyb argued in its complaint. It asked the CNIL to fine BeReal and force it to be compliant. apply tags__________ 175645935 story [48]Microsoft [49]Amazon Paused Rollout of Microsoft Office for a Year After Hacks [50](bloomberg.com) [51]5 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 12, 2024 @10:24AM from the how-about-that dept. Amazon has [52]postponed implementing Microsoft's cloud-based Office suite for its workforce by one year, citing security concerns following a Russian cyber attack on Microsoft's systems. The delay affects a $1 billion, five-year contract signed last year to provide Microsoft 365 to Amazon's 1.5 million employees, making the e-commerce giant one of the largest customers of Microsoft's cloud productivity suite. The decision came after Microsoft revealed that Midnight Blizzard, a Russia-linked hacking group, had [53]breached several employee email accounts, including those of senior executives and cybersecurity staff. Amazon subsequently conducted its own security review and requested enhanced protection measures from Microsoft. apply tags__________ 175645693 story [54]Youtube [55]YouTube TV Price Hike Coming January 2025 [56](betanews.com) [57]48 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 12, 2024 @09:42AM from the everything-getting-expensive dept. [58]BrianFagioli writes: In a move sure to rattle some subscribers, YouTube TV has announced a price increase for its Base Plan. Starting January 13, 2025, the monthly subscription cost will [59]jump from $72.99 to $82.99. The search giant cites the rising costs of content and investments in service quality as the primary reasons for this adjustment. apply tags__________ 175644313 story [60]Intel [61]Former Intel CEO Calls For Prayer and Fasting For Employees [62]116 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 12, 2024 @09:00AM from the stranger-things dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: Former Intel chief Pat Gelsinger, who [63]stepped down from his leadership post a week ago, is inviting people to [64]join him in prayer and fasting for the struggling chipmaker's employees. "Every Thursday I do a 24 hour prayer and fasting day," Gelsinger wrote on X on Sunday morning. "This week I'd invite you to join me in praying and fasting for the 100K Intel employees as they navigate this difficult period.

FlatpanelsHD: LG has [69]discontinued all Blu-ray players, including the UBK80 and UBK90 UHD Blu-ray players, with remaining units only available while stocks last. The announcement echoes similar moves from Oppo in 2018 and Samsung in 2019, when both companies exited the optical disc player market. LG has now officially discontinued its Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray players, as reflected on LG's online portals and confirmed by multiple sources to FlatpanelsHD. apply tags__________ 175643093 story [70]AI [71]Harvard Is Releasing a Massive Free AI Training Dataset Funded by OpenAI and Microsoft [72](wired.com) [73]16 Posted by msmash on Thursday December 12, 2024 @02:35AM from the moving-forward dept. Harvard University announced Thursday it's [74]releasing a high-quality dataset of nearly one million public-domain books that could be used by anyone to train large language models and other AI tools. From a report: The dataset was created by Harvard's newly formed Institutional Data Initiative with funding from both Microsoft and OpenAI. It contains books scanned as part of the Google Books project that are no longer protected by copyright. Around five times the size of the notorious Books3 dataset that was used to train AI models like Meta's Llama, the Institutional Data Initiative's database spans genres, decades, and languages, with classics from Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Dante included alongside obscure Czech math textbooks and Welsh pocket dictionaries. Greg Leppert, executive director of the Institutional Data Initiative, says the project is an attempt to "level the playing field" by giving the general public, including small players in the AI industry and individual researchers, access to the sort of highly-refined and curated content repositories that normally only established tech giants have the resources to assemble. "It's gone through rigorous review," he says. Leppert believes the new public domain database could be used in conjunction with other licensed materials to build artificial intelligence models. "I think about it a bit like the way that Linux has become a foundational operating system for so much of the world," he says, noting that companies would still need to use additional training data to differentiate their models from those of their competitors. apply tags__________ 175642105 story [75]Programming [76]Amazon Says Developers Spend 'Just One Hour Per Day' on Actual Coding [77](fortune.com) [78]91 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @11:30PM from the how-about-that dept. An anonymous reader shares a report: Amazon Web Services said in a post earlier this month that developers report [79]spending an average of "just one hour per day" on actual coding. But that doesn't mean these workers twiddle their thumbs the remaining seven hours per day. Instead, developers spend the majority of their time on "tedious, undifferentiated tasks such as learning codebases, writing and reviewing documentation, testing, managing deployments, troubleshooting issues or finding and fixing vulnerabilities," according to Amazon Web Services. apply tags__________ 175639463 story [80]Businesses [81]Startup Will Brick $800 Emotional Support Robot For Kids Without Refunds [82](arstechnica.com) [83]110 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @09:01PM from the hall-of-fame-behavior dept. Startup Embodied is closing down, and its product, an $800 robot for kids ages 5 to 10, [84]will soon be bricked. From a report: Embodied blamed its closure on a failed "critical funding round." On its website, it explained: "We had secured a lead investor who was prepared to close the round. However, at the last minute, they withdrew, leaving us with no viable options to continue operations. Despite our best efforts to secure alternative funding, we were unable to find a replacement in time to sustain operations." The company didn't provide further details about the pulled funding. Embodied's previous backers have included Intel Capital, Toyota AI Ventures, Amazon Alexa Fund, Sony Innovation Fund, and Vulcan Capital, but we don't know who the lead investor mentioned above is. When it first announced Moxie in April 2020, Embodied described the robot as a "safe and engaging animate companion for children designed to help promote social, emotional, and cognitive development." apply tags__________ 175640827 story [85]AI [86]Photobucket Sued Over Plans To Sell User Photos, Biometric Identifiers To AI Companies [87](arstechnica.com) [88]13 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @06:29PM from the hall-of-fame-behavior dept. Photobucket was sued Wednesday after a recent privacy policy update revealed plans to sell users' photos -- including biometric identifiers like face and iris scans -- [89]to companies training generative AI models. From a report: The proposed class action seeks to stop Photobucket from selling users' data without first obtaining written consent, alleging that Photobucket either intentionally or negligently failed to comply with strict privacy laws in states like Illinois, New York, and California by claiming it can't reliably determine users' geolocation. Two separate classes could be protected by the litigation. The first includes anyone who ever uploaded a photo between 2003 -- when Photobucket was founded -- and May 1, 2024. Another potentially even larger class includes any non-users depicted in photographs uploaded to Photobucket, whose biometric data has also allegedly been sold without consent. Photobucket risks huge fines if a jury agrees with Photobucket users that the photo-storing site unjustly enriched itself by breaching its user contracts and illegally seizing biometric data without consent. As many as 100 million users could be awarded untold punitive damages, as well as up to $5,000 per "willful or reckless violation" of various statutes. apply tags__________ 175639019 story [90]The Internet [91]Russia Tests Cutting Off Access To Global Web, and VPNs Can't Get Around It [92](pcmag.com) [93]99 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @05:02PM from the no-stones-unturned dept. An anonymous reader [94]shares a report: Russia has reportedly cut some regions of the country off from the rest of the world's internet for a day, effectively siloing them, according to reports from European and Russian news outlets reshared by the US nonprofit Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and Western news outlets. Russia's communications authority, Roskomnadzor, blocked residents in Dagestan, Chechnya, and Ingushetia, which have majority-Muslim populations, ISW says. The three regions are in southwest Russia near its borders with Georgia and Azerbaijan. People in those areas couldn't access Google, YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp, or other foreign websites or apps -- even if they used VPNs, according to a local Russian news site. Russian digital rights NGO Roskomsvoboda told TechRadar that most VPNs didn't work during the shutdown, but some apparently did. It's unclear which ones or how many actually worked, though. Russia has been increasingly blocking VPNs more broadly, and Apple has helped the country's censorship efforts by taking down VPN apps on its Russian App Store. At least 197 VPNs are currently blocked in Russia, according to Russian news agency Interfax. apply tags__________ 175639335 story [95]Stats [96]'The Dying Language of Accounting' [97](wsj.com) [98]147 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @04:01PM from the how-about-that dept. Paul Knopp, KPMG US CEO, [99]writing in an op-ed on WSJ: According to a United Nations estimate, 230 languages went extinct between 1950 and 2010. If my profession doesn't act, the language of business -- accounting -- could vanish too. The number of students who took the exam to become certified public accountants in 2022 hit a 17-year low. From 2020 to 2022, bachelor's degrees in accounting dropped 7.8% after steady declines since 2018. While the shortage isn't yet an issue for the country's largest firms, it's beginning to affect our economy and capital markets. In the first half of 2024, nearly 600 U.S.-listed companies reported material weaknesses related to personnel. S&P Global analysts last year warned that many municipalities were at risk of having their credit ratings downgraded or withdrawn due to delayed financial disclosures. Our profession must remove hurdles to learning the accounting language while preserving quality. In October, KPMG became the first large accounting firm to advocate developing alternate paths to CPA licensing. We want pathways that emphasize experience, not academic credits, after college. Most people today must earn 30 credits after their bachelor's degrees -- the so-called 150-hour rule -- work under a licensed CPA for a year, and pass the CPA exam to become licensed. Research by the Center for Audit Quality finds that the 150-hour rule is among the top reasons people don't pursue CPA licensure. A December 2023 study found that the requirement causes a 26% drop in interest among minorities. There is a consensus for change, but we can't waste time. Many state CPA societies are working on legislation to create an alternative path to licensure. State boards of accountancy should replace the extra academic requirement with more on-the-job experience. A person who is licensed in one state should be able to practice in another even if reforms create different licensing requirements. apply tags__________ 175639089 story [100]Google [101]Google's New Jules AI Agent Will Help Developers Fix Buggy Code [102](theverge.com) [103]18 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @03:01PM from the feed-and-speed dept. Google has announced an experimental AI-powered code agent called "Jules" that can [104]automatically fix coding errors for developers. From a report: Jules was introduced today alongside Gemini 2.0, and uses the updated Google AI model to create multi-step plans to address issues, modify multiple files, and prepare pull requests for Python and Javascript coding tasks in GitHub workflows. Microsoft introduced a similar experience for GitHub Copilot last year that can recognize and explain code, alongside recommending changes and fixing bugs. Jules will compete against Microsoft's offering, and also against tools like Cursor and even Claude and ChatGPT's coding abilities. Google's launch of a coding-focused AI assistant is no surprise -- CEO Sundar Pichai said in October that more than a quarter of all new code at the company is now generated by AI. "Jules handles bug fixes and other time-consuming tasks while you focus on what you actually want to build," Google says in its blog post. "This effort is part of our long-term goal of building AI agents that are helpful in all domains, including coding." apply tags__________ 175639399 story [105]Businesses [106]WordPress Chief Quits Community Forum After Court Loss [107](404media.co) [108]125 Posted by msmash on Wednesday December 11, 2024 @01:41PM from the tough-day dept. Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg [109]abruptly left a key WordPress community platform after a federal court ordered his company to [110]restore rival WP Engine's access to WordPress.org and remove a controversial login requirement. The preliminary injunction mandates Automattic eliminate a checkbox that forced users to declare they had no connection to WP Engine before accessing the platform. Mullenweg departed the Post Status Slack forum following the ruling, writing he was "sick and disgusted to be legally compelled to provide free labor" to WP Engine, according to 404 Media. "It's hard to imagine wanting to continue to working on WordPress after this," he added. The order gives Automattic 72 hours to comply, including reinstating WP Engine's employee credentials and plugin access. The ruling marks a significant development in an escalating dispute between the WordPress parent company and the web hosting provider. apply tags__________ [111]« Newer [112]Older » Slashdot Top Deals Slashdot Top Deals [113]Slashdot Deals Slashdot Poll Do stories about Bitcoin cause you to feel anger?
