Microsoft removes documentation for switching to a local account in Windows 11

But most Microsoft account sign-in workarounds for Windows 11 continue to work.

@arstechnica Microsoft hasn't had proper and useful documentation for their OS in like 2 decades now. It has been a piecemeal mess that is only useful after the community of users writes the rest of it for them. And then what did they do? Broke every old link on their documentation site. I'm moving to linux soon. Almost all the games I own work on it now, and there isn't a single piece of Windows-only software that I can't do without.

Surgeon general’s proposed social media warning label for kids could hurt kids

Mental health experts warn label wouldn't solve platforms' child safety issues.

@arstechnica Children shouldn't be on large social media platforms at all. They're not mentally, morally, or emotionally equipped to handle it, and there is very little that can actually be done to protect them from predatory adults who are willing and able to take advantage of those things.

@arstechnica They call something a microdose and then put "Extremely Potent" on the packaging. Who could have seen this coming

I've been trying to google/amazon this and having basically no results, so I'm asking here in case anyone knows:

I need graph paper. Specifically I need LARGE graph paper. Like, not an A4 sheet, I need A1-A0 (24/33" or 33x46").
4x4 per inch, or 5x5 per inch grid spaces. I basically need a graph paper with a TON of squares, and I'm not finding it.

@foone I found several listings on eBay for "large format graph paper"

@SwiftOnSecurity I love Garage54, one of the best "just messing around with junk" youtube channels out there. A channel like that is much harder to run in the USA since we crushed all our old cars up to save the environment and then started making 100% of all trucks twice as big to offset the public good that could have been done.

Used Teslas are getting very cheap, but buying one can be risky

As used Teslas drop in price, are they a bargain or buyer beware?

@arstechnica The main reason to buy a used tesla is to strip the good parts (the motors, motor controller, and battery pack) off in order to modify a better car.

Terrible idea: an author writes a book, but instead of releasing it, they train an LLM on it, and release the model.

So readers can ask the LLM to generate text based on it, but can never know the original text.

Google wants AI to listen to your phone calls, detect scam callers

A scammer says "transfer the money in your bank account!" but Android is listening.

@arstechnica The amount of AI bullshit I NEED in my phone is zero. The amount of AI bullshit I WANT in my phone is somehow even less than that.

TikTok and its Chinese owner sue US government over “foreign adversary” law

Law curtails "massive amounts of protected speech," TikTok and ByteDance allege.

@arstechnica I invite the owners of Tik Tok to try and download any American social media application while they're on a Chinese internet connection.
