Unlike the Steele Dossier, which was both fraudulent and discredited…

What? IIRC, the author only clarified that a bunch of it was likely rumor. How does that make it fraudulent?

Time for a rewatch of The Century Of Self.

Ferrari? More like the passenger train of computers.

We (the US) off-shored our manufacturing labor to China because of cheap labor. We were able to continue to reap much of the benefits of this production with our intellectual property (trade secrets, patents, etc).

China will inevitably catch up in the IP game and have been quickly doing so, often through corporate espionage, sending students to study in Western schools, and just from experience building most of these physical goods.

It’s IP theft and seen as cheating. And will erode the US IP dominance faster than we’d like.

I’m pretty on the fence over it as an American personally. IP laws in general are kind of bullshit but also, we’re on our back foot economically because we have no infrastructure to build anymore. And if we no longer have the IP dominance, we have zero economic leverage.

And all that’s ignoring all the governmental and civic espionage that has other uncomfortable implications.

What I expected:

It is very privacy friendly […]

What makes you believe that? The most information I could find about this is that it doesn’t “save your session data.” The Orbit privacy policy also seems a bit bare, and I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.

Either way, you’re still sending data to a third party service to process. Might be worth it for some people.

Been playing the point and click game Star Trek: Resurgence. It’s barely a game, but it’s nice to do something with your hands while watching.

“We need ways to prevent people from bringing weapons onto our Metro buses and trains, and the sooner we can find solutions to prevent tragedies like this, the better,” Hahn said.

TSA 2: Cruise Control

More information about the privacy preserving ad measurement feature and how to disable it if you wanted. Mixed feelings.

Someone needs to leak the real nudes so they can put the real thing on their trucks.

My favorite part of milsim is the sim.

Earth-bound cardinals are basically 2 dimensional vectors. Not really helpful in intergalactic space.

A lot of their targets are public people. For instance, targeting the employees of a defi company.

“And immediately after we had removed them from the environment, another attack set off, which we attributed to the same group trying to get back in through other means,” he added.

This happened within 24 hours, with a credential-stuffing attack. “There was no opsec, no slow-and-low,” Dwyer said. “They put the persistent in APT. Once they identify a target as valuable to them and their goals and objectives, they will continue to try to get back in.”

And this is from a company that seems to at least sort of take security seriously (ignoring the glaring error that got them in this situation). Responding to this threat seems like a challenge for most companies down the supply chain.

Hell yeah, this one is ours!

A photo of my balls would help in that case too but it doesn’t men I want to give it to them.

Need me a cyberpunk detective game with real verbal interviews.

Okay, back to doomer it is…

With the discontinuation of the Malibu, the only remaining gasoline-powered vehicle in Chevrolet’s lineup is the Corvette, following the cessation of Camaro production last year. Earlier this year, GM introduced a hybrid

That’s, actually pretty positive news. I’m a little shocked.

ZDNet? Haven’t heard that one in a minute.
