Harvard University’s endowment is approximately $51.977 billion as of fiscal year 2024. It is the largest academic endowment in the world.

Harvard doesn’t need that funding, they’ll be just fine.

It would be nice if they actually fixed the stability issues in Apple Intelligence before they start adding more layers of slop to it. Writing tools summarization has been broken off and on since it launched.

Yeah my point is it does not protect the local device well. It does protect well from remote compromise though.

If I’m on my laptop, and the 2fa code shows on that same laptop, it defeats the purpose of it. The point is sortation of security privileges, ask this just adds more work while providing no less security to the device. It does protect you from remote compromise, though.

Yeah, Apple 2FA is infuriating, especially since you can do all factors from the same device. Kind of defeats the purpose of traditional 2FA/MFA. Also, companies that decide you 2FA experience has to use their app, instead of a standards-compliant TOTP app of your choosing…ugh.

I’m honestly more impressed about that last line, running at 70 million for 17.5 minutes. Duration/stability being the key to this tech, that’s pretty impressive.

Ad tech IS the tracking, so if you’re not blocking ads, you’re not actually refusing said tracking. I think you might be conflating cookies with being tracking (they are), but that’s only a part of it.

I just listened to the Criminal podcast on that, recently. Fascinating cultural moment.

I just went in and manually edited my display name to my previous asshole of a boss. Two can play this game. If they want to get rid of anonymous content, then let them deal with poisoned content.

Team Blind is decent, at least in the tech sector.

I didn’t know that either but I’d also never divulge that info on an inbound phone call.

Well that sucks

Maybe a ChromeOS machine? It doesn’t get more simple to use than that.

So they sell it all to a shell company in India, which then resells it to China. We all know how this works without actual penalties and actual enforcement. GDPR is successful because it has actual teeth, even for companies that are not HQ’d in Europe (but do business with EU citizens).

I don’t nave a citation, but in general, layoffs are usually used to cut costs. Spending less means more profits. More profits generally means the company looks better to the investors, and hence, better stock price.

They are ten years in at this point. I think they are doing it right.

It sounds like they are working in a standard contact center, to me. It’s sad how much control/surveillance contact center managers wield over the agents. There are good companies out there, but for contact centers, they are unicorns, not the norm. The norm is “track every second, scrutinize any time waste”.

Is this the more edgy way to say “enshitification”?

Yeah, didn’t want to name it, lol.

That’s been the trend for more than a decade though. Some companies are more militant about it than others.

That’s so surreal in this day & age. I can’t think of any other example where that happened. I use Bitwarden because I don’t want all my eggs in one basket, even for Proton who I trust. But good on them for doing a solid for their customers instead of bowing to the forces of pure capitalism.
