Russia agreed to supply Iran with 90 helicopter missile launchers in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] 1 point 6 hours ago

Possibly most damning of the sycophants is how they don't even try to help him look better. When Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer's and not really able to be in public without looking the fool, his cronies tried to keep him out of the limelight and away from my public eye. With Trump we get to watch the senility drive. I want to no longer be embarrassed by my country...

    This really makes me laugh at how much of a chump Trump is. All daddy Putin has to do is say, "Malyshka, it's not like I'm in bed with Iran! That's just for you!" and he'll roll over and pretend Russia is listening to him and totally not helping the other side.

    Imagine being in the global political cuck chair and thinking it's great so long as it has gaudy gold leaf on it.

    P.s. hey mods, if I'm going against the rules for the community, I apologize, just let me know and I'll edit my comment.

    Non-AI version of MS Office still running AI (lemmy.world)
     

    There is a non-AI (supposedly) version of Office365 desktop applications that you can get by starting the process to cancel your Office365 subscription. It offers you a cheaper version of office without copilot. But apparently that doesn't mean all AI removed. I stumbled upon this by chance today.

    So I was minding my own business this morning and was looking for some setting in my radeon software. It happens to tell me how long I've been in a play session of various games if I am currently in one. It said I had been playing Alien Isolation for 16 hours. Since I don't have that installed at the moment I dug deeper and got the directory and exe for what it was calling Alien Isolation.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\vfs\ProgramFilesCommonX64\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE16\AI\ai.exe"

    Well...that won't do. So I set about finding out why it was there, confirming that it was indeed an AI and not just a naming happenstance. Of course it wasn't a coincidence.

    The dumb shit I have to do to keep MS from infecting my shit... (also inb4 "hurr durr git linux" I'm working on it...)

    1. I made a separate local guest user account
    2. gave it full control of the AI folder, subfolders, and files
    3. confirmed the guest account could login and access the folder location
    4. broke inheritance
    5. removed all other account/group permissions except my main admin
    6. set my main account to full deny and ensured it was applied to the folder and everything under it
    7. Confirmed with process explorer x64 the exe doesn't start when I run an office app.

    Just figured I would drop this in here in case anyone else is trying to make sure that the malware/spyware being masked as AI isn't infecting your computers.

    If you do this, do be sure to confirm your other account can login and navigate to the folder before you remove all other permissions. Once I did, I created a shortcut and placed that on the desktop if for some reason I ever need to alter that stupid AI folder again. I plan on using that account as a way to isolate AI processes like this in applications I require. Thankfully I've been able to move to non-AI alternatives in most cases.
