Is this the new embrace, extend, extinguish?

There are going to be very few hashing algorithms that can take a certain byte value and hash it down into a unique smaller byte value. If you miscoded the database and stored the hashed passwords into a value of a fixed length, you have to abide by that length without some trickery or cleaveriness. Is that not the case? Every time I've seen this limitation in wild code that has been the case.

I think you have to imagine it differently. If it's self tracking and ai based with voice as the main input then it makes for a natural fit imo. Think of it like carplay. Apple wouldn't advertise texting and driving, but they'd advertise. Carplay and siri use in the car all day/night.

Depends on how they market it I suppose

On a self tracking stand with hands free features. Or is carplay and siri "just a phone" to you, jerkoff?

Combine it with a speaker, have it play video and show recipes while you cook, and bam you'll sell a ton.

The answer is always a poorly coded database. :(

True, I do apologize. As an industry guy who deals with nonsense like that all day I suppose it struck a nerve but there wasn't any reason to respond as harshly as I did.

That's. Fucking. Insane. Like, it's a documented registry fix from Microsoft themselves. If you have a gpo pushing it, it's not getting reset. Also you literally just disregarded the way 90% of software makes configuration changes to your system, the registry.... Please tell me you don't work in IT because if you do your coworkers and end users must hate their lives.

Or a proper gpo/registry modification as detailed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-restart 🤷‍♂️

•	Run regedit to open Registry Editor.
•	Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU.
•	If the keys don’t exist, create them.
•	Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers and set its value to 1.
