Interestingly, just due to the inclination of the executive branch to “get a conviction” fast, at any cost, it’s actually pretty likely that is in fact “the wrong guy”. The investigators will be under pressure to find someone, and will use available technology in an absolutely, horrendously wrong way just to get a “result” and use that as a justification to accuse random unlucky people. Of course, anyone with deeper knowledge of involved technology would know that, but they’re not working for the ill educated LE operators.

All something to consider when potentially ruining someone’s life because some dumb fuckers got an innocent joe as the wrong person because they deformed under pressure and couldn’t successfully do their job. Happens way too often

Is that thumbnail supposed to be, like, super “maga dork” lmfao

[…] ready enough to convince your boss that it’s ready to replace you at your job."

That’s great though. Then said boss can rehire the people they fired for a noicely risk-adjusted premium.

Stupidity traditionally hurts (the wallet)

Same for Architecture in the '11-'16 time. I recall that it supported all the software, had decent performance for CAD use cases and easy to pirate Adobe Suite. All round, solid system that worked out of the box mostly.

I think that image kind of stuck. Now I see a lot of CompSci students with MacBooks. I understand the desire for compute power, but at the same time I feel they don’t really understand how to use it properly, because of how Apple isolates the user and has such an extensive vendor lock-in strategy.

I feel like, if you can figure out how to make it work with MS Paint on Windows95 (or FreeBSD on potato laptop for CS), then using anything better will put your skillset on steroids.

The Putin puppets (AFD, FN, Fidez,…):

1. Reject push for renewable energy (muh coal, muh diesel)
2. “Subsidies are fascist”
3. “Wah, wah, can’t afford my environment destroying car/heater anymore”
4. “Thanks Obama”

Hungarian leadership seems a little touchy lately. Could it have to do with recent power structure changes in Poland?

We’ll see!

Get. The. Fuck. Ouuuuut

This is true. However, I don’t see this happening as the website/browser isn’t really the problem with online banking, it’s more often the user.

On another note, how about no access at all, because this is a freaking huge attack surface for (D)DOS. Imagine you just invalidate signatures of all traffic to and from an attestation service. You could almost stop countries from functioning. That’s a serious vulnerability which we can easily do without.

I have both my own email server and an additional paid email provider. not expensive and has very nice functionality in terms of sync, aliases, etc.

If they now said I needed some 3rd party bullshit to access their site, I would quit paying them. There are tons of these smaller businesses.

I doubt they will just be like “oh well, guess i’ll die, Daddy Google said so”

What i’m saying is, it doesn’t have to be google OR become a tech wizard. There is a middle path that just costs a dollar.
