@hizemantheory @George_Kurtz Not particularly defending them because something clearly went wrong, but this isn't the angle! You know it's an endpoint protection tool, right? To stay ahead of malware, they need to push out updates real quick. To all their users. Frequently.

@George_Kurtz Why did you push an update on a Friday without notice? No apology? Defensive tone? Sounds like there may be more to this story than you're leading on...x.com/hizemantheory/…

@showerskittles @GenAIChad It's much more odd that someone thinks the act of writing a song or a book is merely "putting English words in a certain order"! It's very revealing of your attitude towards human talent and human creativity.

I've always thought copy right law is odd and very regressive. It's odd to think you can basically take English words put them in a certain order and claim to own them in that order but not only that and order fairly similar. It eventually makes it very hard to write anything. Wizards can become very risky or anything remotely similar to Pokemon might as well never make a cartoon with a mouse. It's all very ludicrous. Copy right laws are basically fascism which is why so many people of that walk of life are attracted to jobs that involve copy right.

@ChassNews She was magnificent!

🤩 blues/gospel legend Mavis Staples (84) in London @ Union Chapel: “we are here to bring you joy, happiness and positive vibrations”

@IOMGovernment I needed a pick me up after that shocking Scotland performance, and this hit the spot. Outstanding news and thoroughly well deserved!

Sir Mark Cavendish has been knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours. The accolade comes just weeks after the 39-year-old achieved his 164th career victory, making him the most successful men’s sprint cyclist of all time. Find out more 👉 gov.im/news/ 🇮🇲 🏆

@reginaldo_el @ronmanagernottm It is also the home to Wisseloord Studios - a famous recording studio. U2, ELO, Elton John, Saxon, OMD, Iron Maiden and many more recorded there. Check out their Wikipedia page.

@ronmanagernottm I’ve learnt something today

Medium Wave was the magical conveyor of a young boy's imagination. Where was Hilversum, anyway?

@roadcc That headline wouldn't look out of place in Viz Comic! It doesn't even pass the most basic sniff test of credulity yet is the output of a "Data Editor". Remarkable!

Telegraph journalists told "check your research" after front page claims cyclists hit 52mph chasing London Strava segments... despite that being faster than Olympic track cyclists road.cc/308431

Question: What car did you learn to drive in?

@KevinBrennanMP There is a pair in Richmond Park that come out every morning and evening to cheer me on as I cycle to and from PPL towers. They brighten up my day and always get a “good morning” or “good evening”.

On my way to Buckingham Palace to attend a reception for one of Queen Camilla’s charities which supports victims of sexual violence - en route this charming scene

@PPLUK @KevinBrennanMP 2/ That OpenAI have recently struck a licensing deal with the Financial Times shows they know this. It's time for legislation to make this mandatory for all AI platforms and for all creative content that is used in the training process.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Music, chaired by @KevinBrennanMP has made eight recommendations for UK Government to support the UK music industry by regulating AI. Read the full report here: ukmusic.org/news/mps-deman…

@PPLUK @KevinBrennanMP As identified in the report, it is not right that AI firms are monetising outputs that derive 100% from the creative works they are trained on, with no payment to, nor permission from the creators. 1/2

My @RunCzech Half Marathon t-shirt has been out and about in the Hollywood hills!

@GriffinMilitary Skoda may have beaten you to it! This was in Prague airport last night. Looked good.

Peugeot 205 new concept yes or no? What do you think ladies and gents? 🤔🤜🏻#Griffin🤛🏻🫶🏻

@historyinmemes Twickenham Stadium, July 2017. Joshua Tree tour.

One of the most legendary intros in concert history

@TheHives at the Brighton Dome last night were as amazing as always. One of the very best bands to see live. 90 minutes of pure, high energy entertainment. Long live The Hives!

@Jamesdestafford The real question is why you would ride that route given there is an amazing lake-side path dedicated to running/cycling - 18.5miles of Lakefront Trail - no cars, no traffic lights. All the more relevant given the low average speed of the commute.

The European mind can't comprehend this cycle commute.

@mooniecycling Narrowly missing a flying bike at the Worlds in Glasgow, last year.

Post your favorite Wout van Aert victory under this post, I’ll start:

@mooniecycling I took this of him on Alpe d'Huez, 2022

@Feargal_Sharkey @thameswater Went back through the last 11 years of (unmetered) bills for the same property. Imagine my surprise at what I found!

"Put Thames Water into special administration, Lib Dems tell ministers." They are right you know, it's over. Time to put @thameswater and their customers out of their misery. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

@bolderston_mark The first mass-produced 16V engine. Such a missed marketing opportunity to not major on this performance feature. Look at what that focus did for VW and their GTi Golfs and Sciroccos and many other brands.
