Another possibility. They're testing it against an old Linux kernel with a large backlog of vulnerabilities that have since been addressed. This is at least as good as testing the current kernel - in fact, it's better, since the results can easily be compared to the issue trackers to see how many it caught correctly.

It's a question of priorities. If the exploit requires you to be in the network, install a special usb device on the server, interrupt the boot process, flood a specific port with malformed packets, do it on February 29th at 11:59.59 pm, and call your mother first, it's gonna bubble down on the priority list.

Everything else aside, the cybertruck is the worst looking vehicle ever made. It makes the PT cruiser look like art that should be hung in a gallery. It looks like what a 9 year old with Lego thinks a spaceship should look like. It's like they forgot every last bit of nuanced aesthetics learned in the last hundred years. WTF.

From the article;

So people with debts to the failed bank might lose their balance... but they might also lose the balance of their debt. It's unclear.

For most it seems like a short delay in accessibility.

If it never ceases to amaze you, that's a failure of your imagination. And yep... a lot of Americans just don't know what to do with themselves.

"Be respectful of each other and learn to cooperate" - maybe not *only* in America - but it surprises me not at all that in America this suggestion results in pissy responses.

In what fucking sense was this a troll?

Then you, America, are fucked. Try to knock too much shit over on your way out.

That's good, actually. If the democrats get it in their heads that a slight majority is a universal mandate, they'll fuck it up and lose every seat they flipped two years from now. Slow your roll.

You have a chance to start the process of internal and external repair. You can start this by not lording your victory over your fellow American.

Do not impeach Trump. Let him dig his own grave for the next two years. Don't make him a martyr. He'll trash what's left of his legacy on his own.

Limit your investigations for now. Put whatever brakes you can on the bad ideas, but don't gum up the workings of politics only through retribution. That's his job, and look where it's taking him.

Don't ignore what the opposition tables. If you can find any common ground - any of it - take it. This is how you cement those flipped seats. They were staunchly republican for a reason, and their current state is an aberration. If you try to plaster the Democratic agenda all over it, you'll lose it in 2028.

In short, the counter to the far right Is not the left, it's the middle.

I would agree with that. The last micro transaction I purchased was - I kid you not - the WoW celestial steed. I'm not proud of it, but in my defense I didn't know what that would mean.

I have never bought another skin, cosmetic, or piece of gear for real money since. I don't buy battle passes. I bought the base game for Diablo IV and play each season, but the "Shop" is ignored.

What if there is an innovative, engaging game - a nearly original premise, even - that is well executed but just happens to be created using AI tools? The answer? There's no value there because within 24 hours of any inkling of success, the AI clones will hit the market.

I think Indy game development is on life support and headed for the casket. The only real barrier to this new ecosystem is what can only be found in very deep pockets, and the companies who have that are already bleeding out from different but concurrent reasons,

Right when gaming hardware is vanishing over the pricing horizon, the game production industry is throwing up all over itself.

I'm pretty glad that at 56 I no longer care very much. I have my three games I play, and I hope some updates are made, but I'm off the treadmill.

That's a problem? As someone from a northern climate, it baffles me that the fear of the dark is this powerful. I doubt predators lurking in the shadows are put out by a difference of 60 minutes. "Oh drat! My abduction is foiled by a clock adjustment. Curses!"

I am not an alarmist, and I don't reach for the regulatory hammer on a whim - or, actually ever - but I can't think of more objectionable, destructive behaviour. Build an empire on the backs of the output of the masses, then systematically destroy the value of that world for everybody but themselves. How is this not hijacking click through en masse?

I think Google needs to be stopped. And since the moat is so vast, I think it should be done by government intervention.

Good luck with that, though, on the American front.

Look at me sitting here with 128GB of DDR5 that I bought for $550 on Black Friday two years ago. It's mine, I tell you! ...What? I could get how much for it? Hmmm...

The most that traditional currency banking could muster up for single instance losses was a measly $1 billion. This trounces that record. Well done. I'll just keep my money elsewhere. Where it's.... you know. Money.
