Because often these folks aren't actually talented and are just being opportunistic criminals. Lots of things aren't secured particularly well in real life too, but we don't offer well paying jobs to every kid who learns lock picking from YouTube, either.

Admittedly, because these companies being breached have their systems connected to the global internet, they should be taking security a bit more seriously since the culprit may not always be an American or from a country with an extradition treaty. But at this point the risk should be obvious, and the fact they're not properly securing their systems is a matter of not wanting to hire and pay for competent IT staff, not a lack of talent. To use a car analogy: You can't fix the situation of some idiots driving around on bald tires because they're too cheap to buy new ones, by assuming that the problem is that the auto service industry needs more tire installation technicians.

Sure, it might be legal. But only because in a functioning society you normally don't need to legislate everything.

The irony of someone ranting about "genocide supporting Bari Weiss" is palpable. If you want to see what genocide support looks like go read the BBC, Associated Press, Al Jazeera, or the New York Times. Bonus points for the NYT as well since they still proudly list a pulitzer prize they won for genocide denial during the holodomor.

Agreeing with your prejudices is not the same as "reliable and objective".

When you yourself are extreme left then everyone else looks like they're extreme right. The BBC's own internal ethical review was utterly damning and shows that they're institutionally bankrupt and corrupt to the very highest levels.

This website is one of the greatest scams online. They squatted on an emotionally manipulative URL years ago and then proceeded to simply declare whatever the owner wanted to be true regardless of the actual facts. Meanwhile because of the name of the website everyone treats it like some kind of oracle of truth, no matter how much evidence there is that it's a scam. By your logic I could go and squat on the domain "mediabiasfactcheckbiasfactcheck" and declare "mediabiasfactcheck" to be far left and wholly unfactual and you would have to accept it as divine revelation.

The BBC's own internal ethics memo damns it as an utterly bankrupt organization. Al Jazeera is state run propaganda from the country that sheltered the leader of ISIS and helped found the organization. It seems like your standards for "good news sources" live in opposite land, or basically boil down to being as anti western and corrupt as possible.

The AP and Reuters aren't a "source of truth", their own reporters have blown the whistle on their malicious lying and propagandizing.

Just say "jews", we all know that's what you mean.

Getting your news from western newspapers, who've been maliciously lying since they denied the holodomor (and won a pulitzer for it), is the recipe that brought us the idiocy of today.

This.

I did the Raspberry Pi thing for awhile and they've got more than their share of annoyances. The big ones are:

Wi-Fi reception sucks. Most people aren't using Ethernet at home and the Pi's built-in Wi-Fi antenna is marginal at best. Yeah, you can work around this by installing a USB Wi-Fi stick, but those alone can end up costing as much as Walmart's Onn streaming box.

Last time I tried to get paid streaming services to work on a Raspberry Pi, it involved manually installing some DRM support that was extracted from Android to make streaming work through the browser, and I'm really stretching the definition of the word "work" here. I doubt the situation has improved much.

Finally, Raspberry Pis are still prone to randomly shitting their SD cards. You basically have to keep spares around to re-image when the unlucky day comes along that it just decides it's time for a new SD card. This will most likely happen on an evening when you're exhausted from work, just put a plate of food on the coffee table and want to sit down for a meal and a movie.

Walmart's Onn box on the other hand, is $25 (as of this posting) and you can just install Kodi from the Google Play Store. It also has clients for all the major paid streaming services, and those also just work without any headaches.

Why would anyone with beliefs on the Right go to your Left wing sources for the news? When they innately don't trust it to begin w/?

Except that most people don't have the storage space to archive all those cubic acres of newspapers. Which why usually, they'd either sell it or use it to line bird cages, and so on. Newspapers going online was actually great. What's not great is their tendency to erase stuff that they said earlier, and alter the historical records

Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures, for anybody in the Cybersecurity space

Yeah, Microsoft has stupid partition limits on NTFS as well - even the 64-bit Windows does. They should be able to set a limit at 2^48 Bytes, but no! It's a measly 256TB-8192TB. Why not simply set it to 2^63, and not worry about it in the foreseeable future?

IBM? Just ask them how all their historical projects and acquisitions - OS/2, Lotus, PowerPC,.... all ended up

Like Apple, both Microsoft and Google started moving their platforms to Arm. Except that Google would have more success w/ it, since Android already runs on Arm, and they are looking at AluminiumOS replacing ChromeOS, which would make this transition even more natural. So vendors building Chromebooks have choices like Qualcomm, MediaTek and at some point, maybe even AMD and Nvidia

The only residual reason now to buy x86 based CPUs is legacy Wintel software. If one uses macOS, Apple has already moved to Arm-based "Apple Silicon", and if one uses ChromeOS or AluminiumOS, Google can easily run them on any Arm-8 based CPU. So GP is right: there isn't a compelling reason to buy a low-end x86.

I do think that a high-end x86 is still useful in that it can run VMs of Windows, OS-X, Linux, BSDs on a CPU that they were primarily developed on. As well as some legacy or hobbyist OSs such as OS/2 and KoligriOS. But as far as the low end x86s go, they are best used in routers that run pFsense or OPNsense, or other x86 based embedded systems that could use something like a DOS or QNX

Funny, b'cos most of the video demonstrations we see are that of people yelling "Javid Shah" (long live the Shah) and "Pahlavi bemigarde" (the Shah will return). While on the other hand, they not only abuse the islamic regime, but also Leftist opposition groups like the Mojahideen Khalq

The generation of Iranians pissed about Mossadegh is dead. All that today's Iranians have seen and remember are 47 years of an islamic theocracy. They don't remember SAVAK, and besides, Reza Pahlavi has pledged that if Iranians vote for a monarchy, it'll be a parliamentary monarchy like Britain, Netherlands, Sweden,.... and not like the one his father headed

About your last scenario, if China started to bomb the US to try and do a regime change, I don't doubt that Democrats would enthusiastically root for them taking over and accomplishing it. You have too much faith in the (non-existent) patriotism of today's Leftist Dems
