Yeah Subaru HQ clearly never heard of the term. On my recent vehicle it beeps for every damn thing. "Car has been driving for X hours" notification on the dot each hour. "WARNING: Washer Fluid Low" every 15 minutes or so while the washer fluid is low (that was a fun drive to autozone, getting nagged the whole way).
It also beeps indefinitely if you first open the driver's side door before turning off the engine. You have to close and re-open the door to get it to stop.
Also has 6 chimes on startup as punishment for daring to start the car without already having your seatbelt buckled.
Not to mention the annoying chimes for actually having any seatbelt unbuckled in the vehicle. It fluctuates them, so you can't even tune it out, and has a tendency to go off if you're hauling heavy cargo. (Though granted, 3 quick prints on a 3D printer later and you'll never have to worry about it again.
Next mod I'm doing to this car is ripping out the chime speaker. I'm just done. I learned to drive on a car that didn't have these chimes, and honestly it made for an easier driving experience.
Whatever these happen it's 50/50 either an internal debugging feature used when designing the device or intended as a way for customer support to more easily help people.
I remember when a backdoor was discovered in the most popular brand of keylogging devices[0], likely added there in case someone forgot their password and reached out to support.
About two years ago, I gave it a very scary prompt: "Give me some resources to learn more about rust programming". Very understandably, that account is still banned to this day.
Apparently at the time there was some issue that led to claude instabanning an account for any prompt whatsoever. Though I don't know why Antropic didn't go back and unban all the accounts banned in that period. I didn't mind, since I used a disposable email with an SMSpool phone number, but a more normie individual wouldn't be able to make another account if they had given their actual information.
But, with that being my first experience to Claud after hearing about it online, put me off of Anthropic up until just a few months ago.
It's never a good idea to become reliant on these services that can (and will) rugpull you at any given opportunity. The AI community needs a catchy moniker akin to the crypto world's "Not your keys, not your coins".
It's pretty effective actually, this is why they do ban waves.
One of my friends in high school used to cheat on a popular video game. The fact ban waves would occur about once a week to once a month meant whenever his accounts got banned, he never knew why exactly and wasn't able to stop it the next time.
Of course, if ban waves are too long apart then yeah you're just letting a known cheater wreak havoc on the playerbase.
I was replying to GP's assertion more so than just the content in the post itself.
For minor references like the image in the OP post it's whatever. I personally find furry art/culture repugnant, but I know plenty of people feel the same way about other things I like (and of which I insert references to in my projects) so I can't exactly get mad about it.
Still don't agree with the overall concerning trend towards exposing kids to (deviant) sexual material from a young age though, and doubly so that anyone who feels the same is a 'bigot'.
First time I saw a dude on all fours with nothing but boxers, a leather bondage dog mask, and a leash being held by his partner at PRIDE while children came up to pet him was jarring, to say the least.
Logical NAND of a laptop featureset. Has things like IR, a subghz HDR, NFC+RFID, USB device support, iButton, and the like.
Some people get a lot of use out of it, but if you just saw that list of hardware and couldn't think of one area you'd apply it in, it's probably not going to be a useful device for you.
They do, you just then don't benefit from the service. At least, that's been confirmed to be the case with Subaru from other security researchers looking at the telematics system.
Lol, be glad it's not a Subaru. Same issue in the infotainment, but also occasionally shows you a popup box ad that doesn't go away unless manually cleared, which prevents you from using the infotainment or climate controls (since they're part of the screen now). The dealerships also opt your phone number into recieving SiriusXM ads by default.
I do oftentimes find myself missing the ability to respond to multiple comments at once when perusing other sites like HN. It's super handy being able to quote a multitude of posts all asking the same question and respond with one answer. Or being able to redirect one poster to look at another.
