This was definitely a fuckup from Slack but as I've understood it, the "AI training" means that they're able to suggest emoji reactions to messages.

Not sure how to think about this, but here's some additional info from slack: https://slack.engineering/how-we-built-slack-ai-to-be-secure-and-private/

Edit: Just to pick main point from the article:

Slack AI principles to guide us.

• Customer data never leaves Slack.
• We do not train large language models (LLMs) on customer data.
• Slack AI only operates on the data that the user can already see.
• Slack AI upholds all of Slack’s enterprise-grade security and compliance requirements.

While I respect your right to express your opinion, I must state that your opinion is just as valid or void as the previous. I couldn't know which. How would I?

That's generally a good idea, however, there can be reasons not to do it.

The device could be infected in a way that it won't turn on again.

You might have an isolated management network that allows you to monitor the device and traffic (naturally ripping all cables also disconnects the management network).

And whatnot. But generally I agree.

Depends. If you're at home with a single endpoint, maybe.

But in cases like the image there's a lot of internal traffic and you'd want to stop the malware spreading internally. There might not even be internet connection at all.

Most serious infections are able to work within isolated internal network. You can stop data breaches by cutting external traffic but if you have ransomware you might want to cut internal connections too.

You might be able to stop the ransomware from triggering on some devices. That of course depends on the type of ransomware and whether it's triggered based on time, external command or something else.

I'm wondering what was the email usage like in the first place if you can just choose to stop sending to most people.

But to be honest, I've only sent handful of emails from my personal account within the same number of years.

Yeah, an incorrect cleaning procedure can cause a error that requires maintenance personnel to reset the error. They don't need to do anything else though, it's completely fine to just do the cleaning again. Stuff like that.

But it does whether you think it should. That's the very reason why all political messaging is forbidden close to voting stations.

In the nordics bribing police to guard you is not allowed. Current rules in Finland are so that police can't (and mainly won't) accept any discounts or free items, especially if they're only targeted to police.

He did say "HOPEFULLY just innocent mistakes..." Which we all should hope whether we think all allegations are true or not.

There's different kind of "memories" when talking about metals but this is probably not related to that. What I suspect happened is cold fusion in a very clean environment without oxygen (or very low oxygen) where oxidation doesn't happen, allowing the very very small fractures to reattach.

Yeah and preventing that from happening in space is rather complex task. Especially on parts that grind against each other causing the existing oxidized layer to wear off.

I'd also say that if there's no backup for It, it does not exist.
