It’s the nostalgia 💜

For a while I was tracking my expenses in a LibreOffice Calc sheet since they are not complex, but I heard positive things about these two from other users:

From Deezer’s website, the detection system tags songs that are either fully AI generated rather than produced or mastered with the help of AI tools. You can also appeal if you believe your music was falsely flagged.

I strongly oppose the use of generative AI in art but if it has to be done, it should at least be labeled as AI (ideally by the “creator” themselves).

I wonder how accurate the AI detection tools are though, considering how common are posts where AI detection tools used in schools falsely flagged student assignments.

There was a song I quite liked which had several million views on YouTube which I was surprised to see was flagged as AI generated. No one I showed it to it could hear any obvious signs of AI. The main red flags were that the artists released several albums in a short time span and had no online presence on any platform you would expect to see musicians on (Bandcamp, Discogs, etc) besides YouTube and the streaming ones.

Thanks for the clarification. I wrongly assumed Microsoft was using Wi-Fi positioning systems (which is used for geolocation, just not in this particular case) instead of reading their documentation.

I’ll update the comment.

I also don’t think most workplaces are going to punish you for opting out of this feature even if organizational policy requires it to be enabled.

This is what I gathered on the subject, feel free to correct if anything is wrong:

The WiFi tracking works by scanning for nearby WiFi networks, identifying which routers are nearby and their signal strengths, matching those against their database of known WiFi access points, and using that data to estimate your location.

For now the feature will be off by default, first has to be enabled by your company, and then the user has to opt in for it to be used.

For those who are required to use Microsoft products, it can by bypassed by using a wired Ethernet connection and not using Teams on any devices using a wireless connection.

Edit: As @lividweasel@lemmy.world pointed out, Microsoft is not using WiFi positioning systems to determine location, but rather updating your location to “in the office” or not depending on whether your device is connected to one of the organization’s WiFi SSIDs.

According to my beer-drinking friends, several companies have not only discovered the precise point where people will fold, but successfully marketed it too.

The BlackBerry Curve was great. I kept using mine until support ended for most of the apps I needed on BlackBerry OS :(

I still keep it as a spare phone and for travel.
