Etsy used to have strict limitations on what was allowed to be sold. I'm not sure how effective it was, but since that restriction has been removed, you're right, they'll list anything. Etsy has become a graveyard for dropshipped garbage, and the odd CD key, apparently! CD keys I can get behind.

Not all screens are touchscreens. Manufacturers complied with those regs without touchscreens for years. My 2012 mitsubishi's reverse camera is displayed in the rear view mirror; the head unit is a dead simple dot matrix display which I adore.

It's the regulations (or lack thereof) that allow touchscreens in cars as they are that should be the target of ire. Reverse camera regulations or not, the current state of touchscreen car rubbish was inevitable without the existence and enforcement of regulations addressing it.

Instructions on how to create and use a bookmark can help as far as the domain/getting to log in goes. I know nobody RTFMs but if they've got instructions they can follow for that, they'll only need to read it once (hopefully). Hopefully, that will reduce the level of frustration before they try to log in.

Is your product a simple TODO list? Is it a health diary with loads of sensitive information? Is it for storing nuclear codes? Is this something users typically use on shared computers? On their phones? When you consider whether or not some of the other commenters' suggestions for reducing complexity of authc and potentially account recovery are reasonable, you need to keep that context in mind. It's hard to make decent suggestions without that context, imo.

Check WCAG's recommendations around accessibility. Start with cognitive and vision, and make sure to check out sections around designing and interacting with forms, but make sure to have a browse around broadly.

The UK government's style guides have some thoughtful advice around usability and accessibility. [0][1]

The wilful ignorance and total apathy is appalling.

I've had similar experiences in Australia. I emailed one of my docs' practices asking if they use Heidi AI (or anything similar) and that I do not consent. They were using it without my consent.

In the consultation, he tried to give me the schpiel, including the 'it stays local' thing. The Heidi AI website has the scripts for clinicians; he ran through them all.

Oh, their documents for clinicians also mention every two sentences that patient/client consent is not required at all. I wonder why they keep saying that? Hmm.

This doctor knows I am a developer. When I asked him to explain what he meant by 'local data', he said the servers were in Australia. I almost flipped the desk. Aside from the fact that it is mandatory (it's the law! they do not have a choice!), it's ...kind of meaningless where the servers are, especially when he (on behalf of Heidi AI) was trying to sell it as a security or privacy feature. When I pointed that out, he just couldn't wrap his head around it. Of course he can't, he doesn't understand.

AHPRA's "Meeting your professional obligations when using Artificial Intelligence in healthcare" guideline[0] (not any kind of enforceable requirement, unfortunately) has great stuff in it. It encourages using it with the informed consent of patients. Even if my doctor read it and agreed with it, and cared about getting consent, how the hell can he inform patients sufficiently when he has absolutely no idea about, well, anything?

He keeps pushing it and asking me about whether I've changed my mind about allowing him to use it. No! He keeps asking me questions that only confirm he hasn't even done a perfunctory web search about why some people hate LLMs, especially in the context of PII and PHI.

I really do feel for clinicians, but these products are not the answer.

A strike being inconvenient? Workers leveraging how crucial they are? The stoppage of work having massive impacts across the country? Huh, maybe the powers that be should listen to the workers when they ask nicely for better conditions instead.

I just hook up a (linux) laptop to my TV, personally. I have a mouse (and a bluetooth keyboard which I rarely use) to interface.

I have no idea if that would in some way impact something like streaming quality because I don't have any streaming services; I live in australia where the streaming companies simply don't bother organising streaming rights for worthwhile media. I also like to own things I want to rewatch.

If I wanted to get fancy (and if I had a TV capable of connecting to the internet, which I don't) I might consider setting it up as a media server or look at NAS solutions, but my laptop is perfect for me as is.

I am at a loss for words. This wasn't a sophisticated attack.

I'd love to know who filevine uses for penetration testing (which they do, according to their website) because holy shit, how do you miss this? I mean, they list their bug bounty program under a pentesting heading, so I guess it's just nice internet people.

It's inexcusable.

I use MCPelauncher to play android bedrock minecraft on linux and use a controller. Jankiest part was having to resurrect a very old, deeply unused google account to buy the game, but as goes without saying, YMMV.

In the year of our lord 2007, my classmates would send (often explicit) videos via bluetooth from their phones (of any manufacturer/model/platform) to teachers' laptops when they were plugged into the projector. They would usually auto-play.

Autism $peaks is an anti-Autistic eugenics organisation that only stopped publicly perpetuating vaccines-as-a-cause in 2017. That's just the tip of the iceberg as to problems with A$.

Info about Autism is best found, well, pretty much anywhere else as long as it's not A$.

It's both. It's not the first time. Tesla recalled 50,000 cars because they programmed them to illegally roll through stop signs at up to 5.6mph/9kph [0]

I assume that the venn diagram of people using notepad and people using AI stuff would be two distinct circles. Same with paint.

I don't use windows and I know nothing about how people use it.

Am I totally off the mark with this loosely held opinion/confusion?

This is such a travesty. Her resourcefulness is awesome. It really boils my blood that this happens. It boils my blood that disabled kids are just discarded. Comments like "well she's disabled, that's reality" like this particular young woman hasn't worked her arse off and shown she's willing and able boil my blood. It's still abhorrent that kids who have higher support needs are written off, too. We can still teach these kids. Yes, even the ones who require around the clock care!

I really hope she has great outcomes.

There's a handful of companies in Melbourne who offer digitising. I've never used any of them, but if you want to avoid posting your stuff to a digitisation service (there's a couple of those!), there definitely are local people who can help. If they can't do it, they'll be in the best position to know someone who can.

I'd also suggest asking librarians at the state library or the unis who could help you find someone if these don't pan out

Disclaimer: I've never used this service and I don't know if it lives up to its promises.

bookstore.org ebook purchases can support your local (participating) bookstores[0] by a revenue sharing arrangement. Their DRM set up looks dodgy, though? It's not clear whether they use Adobe under the hood or how easy it is to get the files to then DeDRM. Maybe paying for the license (and making sure to nominate a bookstore) through there and making or acquiring a DRM-free copy to keep can be the best of both worlds, at least as far as supporting local bookstores goes.

If anyone has experience with bookstore.org I'd love to hear about it

Where do you live that it's normal to leave the refrigerator? Is this for rentals and/or buying?

If I have to move you bet my fridge, which I love, is coming with me. Same with my washing machine. I don't have a dryer because I'm in australia, which might explain the difference in fridge culture, too.
