So what you meant was: this isn’t enough evidence to change my mind.

No.

One thing getting more upvotes than another isn’t somehow evidence that reddit is manipulating anything. There’s no immutible law that the original source of something should naturally get more upvotes than anything else. I find that the opposite is most often the case, even when the re-blogged story is crap.

That is not a repost, this is an other article from ProPublica

Ah, I just assume that was a slightly different title for the same article. Maybe a mod made the same assumption.

Are you joking with me? They are using a paraphrased title.

Well, the first part is. But, I don’t know what “munching” means. The second part of the Ars title actually says what it’s about. Don’t get me wrong, I can probably make a guess. But when you’re scrolling social media, I don’t think anyone is stopping to think about what a title really means. If it’s not obvious at first glace most people are just scrolling by. The Ars title, at least to me, skims as “AI bad” since those are the words anchoring each end of the title, that’s probably enough all by itself to get some people to upvote.

I am really curious, what sort of evidence you want/expect to see?

Literally anything vaguely conclusive. I’m not saying you should go find more evidence for me or anything. I’m just trying to explain why I don’t find your evidence here convincing.

I suspect that Reddit has more than enough money to be competently shitty. So, if they are doing what you suggest, unless they fuck up or decide they don’t care, you might not be able to find solid evidence.

I don’t think that shows what you say it does.

First, deleting a repost is clearly not evidence of any kind of bias.

Second, maybe Ars is just more popular/trusted? Maybe it’s more upvoted because the Ars title is more meaningful, it’s super well known that people mostly only read the title.

I’m not saying reddit isn’t manipulating things, I’d be shocked if they weren’t. But this isn’t really evidence that they are.

Despite the name, in practice it seems to be all about getting away from all big-tech.

Fry and the Slurm Factory

I don’t think is is a backdoor. At the moment I wouldn’t consider this article any more than FUD.

It’s unclear to me if the security company has actually said what the vuln is or not, but if it’s what was presented in the slides linked in the article this is at worst something that can be “attacked” from a computer connected via USB (and I’m pretty sure it would also require special software already on the ESP32), where the attack is sending out possibly invalid bluetooth messages to try to attack other devices or flashing new firmware to the ESP itself. It’s not a general “backdoor” in the ESP32 itself. At least that’s the best interpretation I’ve been able to make. Happy to be corrected if anyone finds more info.

3. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, “THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER” MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL

Well, that’s a broad definition. I guess to whomever wrote that, a CNC mill is also a 3d printer.

As for what it’s for, it could be anything. Possibly just for the camera that’s also on that pole?

C was originally created as a “high-level” language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it’s basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.

Update the controller firmware.

I’ve got the “Xbox Wireless Controller”, the one that has a little bit of a grippy texture on the handles & the ‘d-pad on a circle’ d-pad. And I was seeing the same thing before updating the FW ~a year (maybe even two?) ago.

Unfortunately, doing that requires a Windows PC or an Xbox.
