HP's ink-blocking firmware may violate new global sustainability rules

HP’s long-running use of firmware updates that block third-party ink and toner cartridges is drawing scrutiny again – this time under a new global sustainability standard that explicitly forbids the practice. The International Imaging Technology Council (Int’l ITC), a trade group for cartridge remanufacturers, says HP’s latest printer firmware rollout conflicts with the requirements of the General Electronics Council’s (GEC) updated Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, or EPEAT 2.0.

Dove acquistare la chiave di Windows 11 Pro?

Ho appena acquistato una chiave di Windows 11 Pro da Digitlogs. com per 13 dollari e si è attivata correttamente. Mi aspettavo un po’ di ritardo, ma la chiave è stata recapitata immediatamente via email. Per ora sembra tutto a posto. Se hai acquistato da Digitlogs, fammi sapere la tua esperienza!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyg4wx6nxgo Why would a parent give a child an AI toy at all (or for that matter expose them to AI of any configuration)? I'm not saying that this happens all the time, but why would you take the risk? It's like putting your child on the phone with a complete stranger. #aislop #aitoys #badIdea #children #technology #ai

RE: https://flipboard.social/@TechDesk/116212811338255993 Update: Grammarly is now facing a class action over its Expert Review feature. Investigative journalist Julia Angwin is the only named plaintiff in the suit filed in New York today (Wednesday) that states she: "challenges Grammarly’s misappropriation of the names and identities of hundreds of journalists, authors, writers, and editors to earn profits for Grammarly and its owner, Superhuman.” Here's the story from @WIRED@flipboard.com. https://flip.it/S.7B5L #Technology #Tech #AI #Grammarly #USLaw

Grammarly is nixing its "Expert Review" AI feature — a paid option to have your work "reviewed" by AI clones of experts, living and dead, without said experts' consent — after overwhelming opposition from just about everyone. Here's @theverge@flipboard.com's story. https://flip.it/QL-vTT #Grammarly #Technology #Writing

Hello everyone, I'm looking into Basilisk, which is a program that allows you to have conversations with multiple LLMs and handle them all in one place if you have API keys for those LLMs. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to import my entire conversation history with, say, ChatGPT into Basilisk. There's very little documentation right now, and I'd like to learn more in general about how to use it. What are, as another example, conversation profiles? This program looks really interesting; and as I consult an AI regularly for different things and keep an organic conversation going, I think I'd find it very useful rather than having to navigate through the web all the time. Thanks all. #AI #LLM #Technology #A11y #Screenreader #Blind #Basilisk.
