Have you seen this article on slashdot indicating how MI6 plans to use a honeypot to find spies?
It seems like they are giving away their secrets - which is unusual for a national security agency.

Making windows even more insecure than it already is.
I think when they add stuff like this to desktop operating systems they are running out of ideas.

As a historian the only caveat I'd advise there is that we are unlikely to see a long, drawn-out slog like WW2 again. Production capacity is great but the next Great Power war isn't likely to take place over years or even months. So China's technological edge is likely to matter but it's tempered with a willingness to stockpile and maintain systems which may never see use.

Doing that at limited production scale is one thing. Doing it at massive, "we're going to fight a serious war with this stuff" scales is another. China, like many authoritarian regimes, has shown itself to be dazzled by the propaganda value of wonder weapons. The CJ-1000, most recently, seems like a very impressive missile system but if it doesn't exist is sufficient quantity to turn the tide against American assets in theater it's just a waste of money.

Of course, China is also famously closed lipped so it's hard to tell. It might turn out that they have tens of thousands of those things. Probably not, but maybe.

they don't have any problem.

Ill bet the forests where they do this have lower biodiversity than those where they dont. You see the forest floor is also an ecosystem - wrecking it damages it.
Just another example of an ill thought out "climate band-aid"

If we carry on the path we are currently on its laughable we are even talking about 2050 being hospitable at all, i mean by 2030 clean water will be too scarce for everyone on the planet and all the domesticated animals we eat. Food Shortages and Crop Failures are commonplace today.
It is incredible to me like were acting as if we have time to procrastinate.

Why are we wasting time, money and research into something we know already?
Once again time wasted , money spent and no action taken.

Once again , there is no reason to refute the fact that we are on course for extinction
with only a 5% chance of changing trajectory.

Once the bottom of the food chain goes its gone forever.

I don't give a shit if some Russian/Kazakh/Malaysian bot farmer wants to take over my phone.

So you do no banking on your phone? Unlikely.

For the 99% of people that do in fact use a phone for banking, protection from lower level criminals is invaluable. For most people there is real financial loss possible from a phone being taken over, at the very least to monitor banking access mechanisms.

Can you call a person a security expert who fails to secure their devices from theives?

Its quite clear that this civilisation does not possess the intelligence or clout needed to steer this ship away from climate collapse.
Unfortunately there is no planet B - only a naive schoolboy would think that sending rockets to, and colonising a desolate lifeless mars is possible without accellerating the demise of our home.

Nearly all so called "clean" water across the planet is polluted with microplastics, given that water is vital ingredient in the beer making process this is not in the slightest bit unexpected. Once again a study from the department of the fucking obvious.

Anarchists believe in abolishing authority, hierarchy, and coercion, primarily by ending the state and capitalism, and replacing them with stateless societies organized through voluntary free associations. They advocate for self-governance, collective decision-making, and mutual aid, emphasizing freedom and equality in the absence of coercive institutions.

I dont disagree with your sentiment.

There is little point in wasting time pursuing a high-flying career any more. Im glad to see that this is happening.
By the time students come out of the higher education system we will be 4-5 more years into global socio-economic collapse
and 4-5 more years in to climate breakdown.

It is far better that kids today focus on preparing for an extreme weather future where multiple crop failures and food shortages are the norm.

Having a law degree isnt going to help here.

I commend Intel employees who have grown a conscience and sought employment elsewhere.

We’re kidding ourselves if we think EVs are a drop-in “solution.” Building an EV burns about twice the carbon of making an ICE, and scrapping a perfectly functional ICE adds nearly another tonne of COe. Run the numbers: ramping up EV sales by 10%/year for a decade actually adds ~650 million tonnes of COe from manufacturing, even after accounting for fewer ICEs scrapped.

That’s just swapping one carbon-intensive system for another — tailpipes for furnaces and mines. The problem isn’t just the drivetrain, it’s the scale: 75 million new cars every year.

The real win isn’t “replace every ICE with an EV,” it’s cutting the carbon out of steel, aluminum, and batteries, cranking up recycling, and maybe even questioning whether churning out this many new cars is sustainable at all. Otherwise, it’s just business as usual in a greener paint job.
