I’ve found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I’m leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first....
Did they claim the video was unedited Sora output? It doesn’t sound like they had to do all that much to the output to get what they wanted. There aren’t any AI tools right now that always output exactly what you want without any alterations, so of course they had to regenerateate clips many times and fix them up manually. They still ended up with a video that required no actual filming, and that’s impressive.
Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....
I’m not sure these ads are even paid for by the developers of the apps that show up. It looks like this is an ad for the Microsoft Store in general, as Microsoft gets a percentage of any sales.

Right now, I’m feeling concerned and wondering what is going on in regards to Sublinks here, since I have created a community for discussion on koalas about a week ago on here and have started and been doing work on it recently.

Hundreds of websites misconfigured Google Firebase, leaking more than 125 million user records, including plaintext passwords, security researchers warn....
Seriously if you’re using Firebase already how the hell do you mess up auth? Firebase offers a free auth solution that’s pretty much a prerequisite to using any of the other services.
How is this legal? This has to be the most insecure login method I’ve ever seen. They removed the password from my account without consent and have no way to go back to requiring a password. Literally all an attacker has to do it gain control of either my phone/email and brute force a 4 digit pin. I’m going to have to change...
I would argue that a phone number barely counts as “something you have” because of how easy it is for attackers to gain access if they really want it. It’s more like “something your cellphone company has and lets you use”. I would rather have email 2FA over SMS because that account actually has a strong password and real 2FA on it. The truly terrible part is you can’t disable either auth option so any attacker has two attack vectors.
