They're really glossing over the "stolen credentials" thing there.
That could mean anything from it looked up password dumps until it found one containing credentials it needed or it somehow obtained the credentials itself from the owner which is a whole other kettle of fish.

When the AI model you're training starts spontaneously committing crimes, who is held responsible?

"Oops, our tool accidentally broke laws while we were testing it without sufficient safe guards" can only go so far.

I would say it's not a true "sync" in that all it does is allow you to download books from Calibre and there's no uploading of anything like reading status or notes/highlights.
I say this as someone pretty comfortable with tech but I found KOReader really simple to get running on the Kobo. https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices
I don't use it but I know there is also a Calibre plug-in made for syncing and integrating with Kobo devices that I think is good if you just want to use the Kobo without KOReader. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366110

Comment on AI adoption and IntelliSense in ~tech

The worst part was it was something that didn't produce an error, it was just a logic bug. If I hadn't been paying close attention and noticed it right away it would have been a nightmare to find later.

I thought Infinite was a good start but there were too many little changes that disrupted things.
No friendly fire, no collision with teammates, vehicles being made out of paper, vehicle handling still feeling off, the weird vehicle drop in system, map design forcing vehicles into tight corridors.
The whole launch of Infinite was just weird. It was like they were surprised by their own release and didn't have any plans ready for post launch stuff. The whole thing about "the UI doesn't support additional game modes" or whatever it was they said was wild.

I'm still open to being won over but my expectations from Microsoft/343/Halo Studios are at rock bottom.
Also, it's not in this video but I believe the video showing parts of the new prequel missions showed what seems like a possibly significant alteration to the Master Chief's timeline.

Comment on US Pentagon puts building blocks in place for Cuba invasion in ~society

I'm not well-versed in Cuban-US relations so someone please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the US embargo/blockade and US treatment of Cuba in general a big part of why Cuba is in state it is today?

puhtahtoe Link ParentAh, fair enough. Containers really simplify things.Ah, fair enough. Containers really simplify things.
I pretty much view Game Pass like a rental service.
Take the new Halo game for example. I know I'm probably only ever going to play it once so why would I pay $50 to buy it when I can pay $15 for a month of access to it?
