The article explains how the Russians restarted their bricked cars. Three fingered salute, basically.

Novel respiratory infections.

Also. Second base.

The problem is asymmetric. It's easier to attack than to defend. AI scripts simply helps more attackers over the steep barrier to entry of the field.

What's prompt engineering? Is that a euphemism for what a non-lazy engineer does?

....And now everyone knows how to disable the VTS and steal a working Porsche. Streisand Effect.

....blah blah....EU....blah blah....fail...blah blah.

Ah. I see what you did there!

They're still making DVD drives. They're just mostly USB now. Ripping is pushbutton easy these days. No messing around with getting a copy of DeCSS and such.

If those who are given an advantage due to their disabilities result in them as a group having a results profile that is the same as the un-disadvantaged, then the level of compensation seems just.

However, if they perform significantly better (or worse) than their class mates, something needs fixing.

Not sure. Just when you think you've found it the line slants up again. But humans have limits and Donald Trump is old. His hey day seems to have been in the 80s and 90s. Now he's slowed down and is taking more naps, plus a bunch of his old friends have died or gone to live in group housing. I suppose you could argue that he's taking dirty old man to new heights in his mind.

Not at all. Stock market prices are much more inefficient than academics lead us to believe.

You contradict yourself. A product that isn't easy to use or setup in one or two clicks fails in the market. Hence cloud.

Ah, you have a personal definition of "necessity." I'm sure what follows is going to be good.

Enshitification and dumbing down of everything is done because quite frankly most people are frigging useless when it comes to technology.

the more rope you gave idiots

Most products are unfortunately designed for the commoner, not the techie in mind.

Etc.

I always find it quite ironic when "the techies" on here complain about how it's impossible to change the battery in a phone and bitch about problems that can be solved with an ESP32 and a bit of solder (like the one in this story). Guess there are multiple levels of "frigging useless when it comes to technology."

VPNs are pretty hard when you don't know the name or address to connect to.

Or, follow the glass hole into a quiet alley and smash his face into the wall from behind, then run away.....

I'm not advocating this, I'm just pointing out that there are many more options than you make it out to be.

This time seems to be post-Discovery acquisition pain, and they're going to be selling off a bunch of stuff before they let Netflix acquire the rest. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens to a few more media companies too. They've all been spending money like mad to try and buy streaming customers and also make something they want to watch.

Bullshit. Selling property is selling property. You seem to be distracted by the idea that a corporation is anything other than a group of co-owners. I'm not saying sometimes rights need to be restricted for the common good. They always do. But come out and say it, don't weasel around it with but but corp....

For all their "losses" they were also able to pay down their debt in 2024 with $4.4B in cash flow

WB lost more than $11 billion in 2024, although their debt did go down from $70 billion to a mere $46 billion.
