When Slashdot disappears, where does one go for this sort of news? I'm not really much of a nerd, but I like to keep up with what's going on in your world.
Ars Technica has the news articles that you would expect to find on Slashdot, but without the discussions that made Slashdot interesting.
Excessive fines are always reduced on appeal. The numbers are intended to make headlines and show that something is being done.
In reality, a small fine is paid -less than the profits. The changes to business practices are things the company has already changed or wants to change, written up by the lawyers to look like a concession.
It is a show, staged for our benefit.
You're supposing the EU doesn't like the control this gives them. Consider how they're pushing privacy invasive age verification all around, and tying the process to people using verified iOS and Android devices. With ADC they'll be able to know exactly who made this or that app they dislike, and it will give them another means by which they can request specific apps providing features the EU doesn't approve of can be disabled.
EU law (articles 30 & 31 of the Digital Service Act) requires that the author/publisher of an app be identified.
...all of this will be overturned by the courts again.
Taxpayers will pay for both sides of the court battles. Hurray for more debt.
I'm surprised he did not brand it "Trump Intelligence".
Students.
This will tick all the boxes for a HS or college student (not majoring in tech). It is an appliance for doing school work.
I respect what he was trying to accomplish, BUT...
Bug was found, bug was reported, bug was patched. This is the way things are supposed to work. He was sitting on a known hypervisor bypass bug so he could exploit it for his plans. His plans may have been noble, but others may have also known about the exploit and had less-than-noble plans for it.
Sony may suck, but fixing bugs is good for all of us. No exploit will ever remain only for the good guys to use.
The statement was at best tone deaf, and likely intentionally offensive. The US Military leadership is trolling the American public.
MAGA lives on outrage. They want liberal tears. Even if it hurts Americans.
It is called "winning".
The fiscal conservatives at work again. What's the hourly cost to taxpayers for flying an F16?
The pilots of these machines need to log actual flight time in order to be good at it. We set minimum training hours to maintain their flight qualifications, and then struggle to find something for them to do while they are flying around. Airshows and flyovers are done as ways to occupy some of those hours of flight time.
It is not a waste of money. It is money that would be spent anyway.
Trump is basically a 1990s Democrat.
Cool story, bro. It is 2026. Own your shit.
The shocking-though-not-surprising election of somebody like Trump, as well as the dysfunction which allowed it to happen, have been predictable and predicted by many of us for a long time.
"All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again."
So say we all.
For 30 years the plan for the BICs was Yucca mountain and here we are with no backup option with that being dead now.
Yucca Mountain was a good plan. We should have done it over all of our objections. We still could. It is a better option than anything else anyone has come up with.
If a train station is a place where a train stops, what's a workstation?
