That is all that I’m finding, too… I wonder if they already ‘fixed’ it.

I wonder if they already did… my account has no such link.

People around here acting like being a nerd doesn’t attract women.

acting?

Why the fuck would she be smiling?

In this case they even had a completely different install of Windows. There is simply no way at all that the fingerprint should match. If it did match, then their implementation sucks. Fuck them if they made it that bad intentionally. Better to have to catch and ban the same person 10 times than ban an innocent person even once.

Their fingerprinting is flawed if this story is true. If I take someone else’s CPU and drop it into what is otherwise different hardware then the fingerprint should absolutely change. If it doesn’t then their fingerprinting is broken and this is going to happen whether any particular CPU has been banned or not.

It seems far more plausible that someone got themselves banned and they’re lying to try to get out of it.

If they are banning on a single piece of hardware such as a single CPU, then they are morons.

Sounds like FUD… I want to see it confirmed by someone reputable with an explanation before believing it.

That assumes that one is insurable…

If the US had universal healthcare then I’d already retire. As is, $5m isn’t safe to retire with health issues/needs

Just shows how fucking stupid the blind zealotry is. AI has been around for a while and had some very good uses. All or nothing is a bad paradigm.

They voted for this…

He never had super-human ability. He’s always just been a bully and everyone is fucking tired of him.

I wouldn’t call you ignorant for not knowing information from some arcane document over x years old from a European country.

Why not? I almost certainly would be ignorant about it. Ignorant just means I don’t know something… there’s all kinds of things that I don’t know.

The U.S. 1st amendment actually does have some implications for your speech even though you’re in Europe and (presumably) not a U.S. citizen.

Your questions aren’t horrible and the do have actual answers. However, your tone suggest that you don’t actually give a fuck so it’s not worth wasting time answering them. Let me know if you were actually being genuine…

I really don’t care

Are you sure? You’d fit right in with a lot of proudly ignorant Americans… “Duh… I don’t know which I’ll proudly declare a badge of honor and commit to remaining stupid.”

Fair - added a note to my comment. Thank you.

You switched gears in the middle of your statement. Either photography from the public spaces is legal or it isn’t. The only reason I don’t consider these take-downs a first-amendment violation is because Google is providing the mechanism to do it. They legally have every right to take the picture of your house and tell you to go pound sand if you don’t like it.
