I enjoyed Everquest I and a good chunk of Everquest II befor I even went to WoW. Then it got boring when they introduced PVP Arenas. This gave a direction to the game that I didi not like and I quit.

Slashdot turned into a tabloid.

Once upon a time, it was news for nerds, it even had a partner Geekshop.

Now it is a tabloid for grandma with fearful stories about escaped monkeys.

Ok, fake Google Meet mislead users with running malware install in a PowerShell with copy-pasted code.

How do they get to this to begin with? I doubt it can sip-in with regular Google Meeting. Can it be, or one need to first be led to join a faked meeting for this to be possible?

Would lawyers be able to use these backdoors imposed by the government, to bring the case to a court and demand compensation for the victims, and sanctions for those responsible for this deliberate weakening of security?

Instead of calling me insane, perhaps you could try to understand the situation a little more deeply or at least argue about what I've said. It's much more polite and respectful when you reply to someone you don't know.

Of course not, there's no declaration of war if you stop at semantics. There has been no declaration of war. I can see that my use of the term “war” is provoking some very negative reactions.

So I'm going to go into a little more detail or precision.

The United States is one of the NATO countries that have voted for and are applying economic sanctions against Russia, and are supplying Ukraine with weapons against Russia. In this sense, the United States is, from Russia's point of view, in the hostile camp.

So I apologize to you, because the term war was exaggerated and inaccurate; because I lacked nuance here, I admit.

So yes, in any case, the state of relations between the US and Russia being what it is these days, it's no surprise that the Russian authorities are being tough on US companies.

Discord Inc. is a US company.
US with OTAN are at war with Russia.
Russia get economical sanctions being reinforced.

Anyone is surprised that Russia is not nice with US companies?

This is Mars, where do you get Oxygen to react Methane as an energy source?

And?

How much energy do you spend to extract and process the clay to extract this methane and all the process to extract an Oxydizer from a yet unknown source.

This is just to highlight this baseless stupid claim in the summary.

A more appropriate title would have been:
"A Robot Begins collecting samples of Melted Fuel From the Fukushima Nuclear Plant."

But whatever. The person who wrote the misleading title perfectly knows it is misleading.

Never take nuisance for ignorance.

They try to split it as:

Your contract with Costco is to acquire a branded bottle with something in it.
Then they want you to agree to a usage license if you want to ingest the content of the bottle.

That's the very same model as when you buy a music album on a media CD, Vinyl, Cassette.
The store and you contract to acquire the media.
When you listen to the music, you "agree" to the usage license contract with the music publisher.

I do not pretend it is fair. Just it is a known model of adding a usage license to a purchased media.

The only economically worthy and environmentally least damaging way to dispose of plastic, is with high temperature incineration, period!

High temperature incineration has a positive energy output suitable for heating water and producing electricity.
Incineration breaks down complex chemicals to (co2, water, nitrogen). The co2 output is limited to that contained in the plastic. Processing is self sustained. Logistic is limited to a single site.

Every other method has unsustainable drawbacks in term of energy use, efficiency, toxic leaks, logistical cost, any or all of those at various degree.

I think you nailed it. The know-how to produce, deploy and maintain deep sea data-centres is potentially valuable for intelligence and military operations.
