Did they actually test the memory to see if it was encrypted? How do they know there wasn't an AGESA bug that set the flag in cases where the CPU didn't actually support the feature?

The people who would be surprised at this will never see the article in their feeds.

Classical tasting scams depended on a now closed weakness in the ICANN charging so if you had a small number of registrars (3 or 4?) you could keep a large number of domains tied up indefinitely by deleting them from one of your registrars & immediately re-registering on another. Stir, cycle & spin. I've not checked, but some registries may still be vulnerable.

When you are registering domains in large numbers the economics change. If the domains names are being used for scams and aren't being squatted, classical tasting may still be economical for ICANN domain names, if not there may be options.

I've definitely noticed this on a motorcycle, not so much in a car.

Not everybody is a native English speaker.

The DOS8 pressure vehicle intended for a backup for Mir if its launch failed, then repurposed and modified a little for Mir 2 but that was cancelled then repurposed and modified as Zveszda had a 15 year design life at launch in 2000. It is now 26 years later.

Why are people surprised that it's wearing out?

Money was invented so the government could collect taxes.

The recent models for comparable size are much better than they were even a year ago.

It seems like a robot would be a high-value target for drones and probably less able to evade them than a human would.

I save all of the plans I/AI creates (even for small changes) and attach to the user story. Then if there is a bug anyone can load plan into context to understand what was done. The documentation is 100X better now with AI.

From the outside, Red Hat operates as a largely independent subsidiary of IBM. I think it's only in the last year or two that they've even been merging the "business operations" parts like HR.

In some ways, it feels like IBM buying Red Hat was as much about keeping anybody else from buying them (and changing them). Since Red Hat was a public company, anybody with enough cash/stock could have tried to take them over (and it sounds like there were some other interested parties), so IBM making a good offer kept them operating as Red Hat. Imagine for example if Oracle had bought them instead... things would be quite different.

It's always been like this. I remember the huge cuts to our teams after 9/11. We were dealing with H1Bs back then as well....

I would imagine the FreeBSD Foundation's Executive Director might have reasons for wanting to run a modern DE on FreeBSD.

I remember a possibly apocryphal tale from many years back that Larry Ellison demanded Oracle's internal payroll was run on alpha quality software because he believed in "Eating our own dog food"

Are speed cameras a type of license plate tracking? Seems like it to me.

You would be surprised how long someone can languish with ill health. The chances that you will just 'drop dead' without a lot of suffering from bad health choices is pretty slim.
