What stocks are future-proof the best?

I was getting into stocks and been throwing money left and right on a whim at first. Not big amounts just around batches of 20 or 50 dollars. Feels like the money is in a sea thats constantly moving up and down haha. I sometimes see negatives, other days they flow in with extra cash

So now I got into making more thoughtful investments. Made investments into stuff like industrial construction firms, some medical care businesses, and Nvidia... What are some other stocks that are likely to be future-proof? Meaning that they will always be in demand

I heard that technology developments can influence how the markets could shift. Happened before in the past, so now kind of wondering what could I go for

How is AI image creation able to circumvent copyright laws?

Sorry, I am quite late to the scene. I found the time to explore the image generator tools. Blew my mind off how it can process my photos.. I always figured that it takes long to make anything. I asked to make me look like a Studio Ghibli anime guy with my kid and it did the thing super fast. Even got the core features of us both in the pic albeit a tad bit uncanny. While I liked it, I cant shake off the feeling that this is wrong somehow. Showed my kid without telling much of how I made it but I kinda regret it now. He wants to be an animator in the future, and I feel like this AI image maker toy would cause him to lose his passions. Why work hard if you can take a piss break and the AI makes a whole image in the process

I am flabbergasted though. How is an AI able to replicate such iconic styles? No way they pay Ghibli for these outputs. Knowing how much work the original animations been through feels kinda weird having the access to such tools with such little effort. I was never into art too much, though even without having the proper knowledge about the art world I dont even consider these renderings "art". More like a quick imitation thats accessible for anyone

Are there any artists on the sub? How do you guys feel about the image generators? How does an upcoming artist even protect the work they make without a data center making clones of the work?

US government targets Cop City protester over phone operating system | Atlanta

Some guy wiped his GrapheneOS at an airport security check, and got into trouble with the law and got hit with a felony charge. Quite an interesting topic concerning how laws look at privacy focused hardware.

Was this bad on his part, or the air port staff? I probably shouldnt own my baseball bat since there are guys who use one like it as a weapon too?

Flock cameras truly are bad?

I sort of already felt like were being watched 24/7 though then you hear some guy shooting in the are, and it makes sense. Like if my family is walking around and some freaks live around the area, would make sense to ensure extra safety.

Why does everyone hate the cameras so much though, is there truly no potential to utilize them before they get broken down by some people? Sure I find the wifi tracking some geeks been reporting as an invasive function but maybe it helps find criminals assuming they dont toggle their air plane modes?

Even some documentaries about past crime investigations reference the police using Flock to no avail. These stupid cameras are buggy and we end up paying for them when people break these stupid cameras. Some random car journalist got caught over a false report due to flock. Just like one of many recent issues with the camera systems

The government gonna keep buying shit that doesnt work down the line. Why not invest in some proper monitoring equipment if Flock has such a trash track record

How to uninstall Microsoft Edge?

First of all, would it break anything on the Windows system? Secondly, how can I delete it? The button is greyed out, yet I can delete other browsers just fine

EDIT: Found the solution myself to fix the gray out.. Below
Method: Force Uninstall via Command Prompt

  1. Find the Edge Installation Folder: Open File Explorer and navigate to your main drive, typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application.
  2. Access the Version Folder: Open the folder with the version number of your current Edge installation (e.g., 120.0.2210.91 or similar), then open the Installer folder.
  3. Open Command Prompt: Click inside the File Explorer address bar, type cmd, and press Enter.
  4. Run the Uninstall Command: Paste the following exact command into the Command Prompt window that appears and press Enter: setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
  5. Restart: Restart your PC to finish the process.

How to delete Google search history?

Hello, I am sorry if this inquiry was already made in the past but I wasn't able to find this question asked.

My questions is not about just purging the browser stuff but the Google drive/database containing my stuff... Like their servers still contain my browsing data and I want it gone. I heard of price gouging and I have been getting pricing for car parts fluctuating. Coworker shows the rates hes getting and something is wonky with the online shopping sites I got. I suspect the past history got some sort of worm in my stuff

The settings for Google are beyond mad to navigate. Google doesn't even have support to help me through and their AI generated articles just seem useless. Do I need a computer to do this history wipe, or can it work on the phone as well?

I know how to follow through commands, though I am not too keen on working with Google. Browser got sorted, cleaned in full, so I know I got some brains but Google is something else... I can help anyone with car troubles of any sorts, though modern computer stuff is getting me tilted

Any pointers are appreciated. Trade you know-how on cars if you can help me figure this out(as long as I am the one sorting my own account naturally)

Have a great weekend, everyone
