This is a scam! Why doesn't it say so in the story title?
Yeah, I'm not replacing all my Zigbee and Z-wave sensors and devices with new, more expensive Matter ones.
What does that have to do with unauthorized payments?
The report from Warren's office (and the article) talk about unauthorized payments to try and link that to Zelle, but then don't provide any evidence of unauthorized payments being a problem in Zelle. And that's because that isn't a problem with Zelle - bad actors aren't making unauthorized payments or taking money out of people's accounts without their knowledge.
What is happening with Zelle is an old-school social attack: bad actors are tricking people into sending them money. It isn't unauthorized. It's no different from having the bad actor trick you in a dozen other ways.
That isn't Zelle's fault.
While I immensely enjoyed the first two seasons, I've found season 3 too full of things that are too stupid to let happen. It's still a good sci-fi show, but astronauts are just doing dumb things for no good reason.
estimated the value of the stolen tokens at more than $1.7 million.
That value was already lost.
Google feared the Samsung Galaxy Store? That's funny.
It's deeply saddening that NASA's flagship initiatives have deteriorated into annuities for neo-aristocrats.
They didn't deteriorate into that; many of them literally started that way.
Yup, this was my use case, too. My Dad used CloudReady on an older PC until he passed away at 98. It was just a browser, and that's all he used. There was nothing else for him to do. It just worked and there was no "upgrading" or OS concerns. My mother-in-law is in her 90s and still using it the same way.
STD it is!
Damn, I came here to post a joke about Go to the Moon, but all the other language jokes already posted are much better.
I like this one... "Why does SLS even exist?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
This article should be titled: "Look at big aerospace companies using billions of dollars do the same thing again"
Hopefully SLS never flies (and saves us a few US$1B or so) and they just let birds nest in the engines like they did to the Saturn V booster for Apollo 18.
Meanwhile, there is real cool space news happening.
Blue Origin's last New Shepard launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
SpaceX's launch (and booster landing) just this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
and the upcoming hop of SpaceX Starship SN6 that might happen today also.
This is the one I definitely want before 2021, when Mad Max happens.
If this were a Boeing project funded by NASA
I think you hit the nail on the head there. This is the same reason why SLS, starting from mostly existing hardware, will cost NASA billions, be years late, and probably (hopefully) only fly once.
