I know that there is a large difference between CAD and general 3D modeling, but I've designed all my custom 3D printed parts in Blender and have had zero issues with fitment or scaling.
The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.
Then it still doesn't matter. If an identified source gives information that isn't verifiable, it's still not actionable.
Reasonable to allow only secure devices for work: Yes
Reasonable to expect the employee to provide such a device: No
Work should only be done on company hardware (including auth). Especially if they're going to be that concerned about security.
Usually they just over-pay for their computer because you can't really buy a system without Windows pre-installed (unless you build it).
I have so many computers that came with Windows installations that I never even booted into.
The artistry and ambiance are the excellent, and I'm enjoying watching the story unfold. Unfortunately, it's less a "game" than a walking simulator. Combat isn't difficult (and has zero stakes). Puzzles are visually dazzling, but braindead easy to solve. I don't even really feel like I'm exploring, because you're basically on rails.
Excellent experience, interesting view into schizophrenia, absolutely beautiful... just not much in the way of interaction. Honestly, I'd enjoy it more as a movie (or mini-series, since it's longer than a few hours if you let it breathe).
In no particular order;
- Detecting "installed" software is iffy. Linux can have all kinds of things running on it that aren't "installed" as-such (same as Windows with portable EXEs, Linux has AppImage/etc). Excepting things like that, you can detect installed apps through the package managers (apt/pkg/yum/snap/etc).
- OS updates in Debian-likes and Redhat-likes are controllable out of the box, but I'm not familiar with a way to prevent a user from doing them (other than denying them root access, which might make it hard for them to use the system, depending on what they need to do).
- I've had a lot of good results with OpenVPN.
- lol antivirus. Not saying Linux doesn't get viruses, or that there arent antiviruses for Linux, but the best way to avoid getting them is still to just avoiding stupid shit. Best thing I can offer is that if you have some kind of centralized storage, check that for compromised files frequently, and keep excellent backups. And make sure your firewalls and ACLs don't suck.
Absolutely nothing, because they all give fucking useless results. Hallucinates, is confidently wrong, and isn't even grammatically competent (depending on the model). Not even good for a draft, because I'd have to completely rewrite it anyway.
LLMs are only as good as the guys training it (who are mostly morons), and the raw data they train on (which is mostly unaudited random shit).
And that's just regular language. Coding? Hah!
Me: Generate some code to [do a thing].
LLM: [Gives me code]
Me: [Some part] didnt work.
LLM: Try [this] instead.
Me: That didn't work either.
LLM: Try [the first thing] again.
Me: ... that still doesn't work...
LLM: Oh, sorry. Try [the second thing again].
Me: ...
Loop continues forever.
One time I found out about a built-in function that I didn't know about (in LLM generated code that didn't work), and read the manual for it, and rewrote the code from scratch to get it working. Literally the only useful thing it ever gave me was a single word (that it probably found on Superuser or StackExchange in the first place).
Squirrels.
Grew up in Chicago, currently in Phoenix. I miss squirrels.
All the lizards are pretty cool though. They're like desert squirrels.
Should we regulate CNC machines and laser/water cutters as well?
Makers aren't the problem. It's what some makers make. If you ban or restrict tools, they'll just use different tools/methods. Or just break the law, because they already don't care about laws. Just makes it harder for legitimate users to get anything done.
We should sort out how people get radicalized and fix that problem.
