And after you find them you have to fix them No they don't. They're sitting on some bugs that are approaching 26+ years old. And yet they don't fix them.

There's a difference between "a bug that is a security vulnerability" and "a bug that isn't a security vulnerability", so unless the 26+ year old belongs to the former, you don't have a point.

A Faraday bags would shield the cell phone from the surveillance state/

The summary says that Fog Data is providing the police with historical location data that was collected from apps such as Google Maps, and your genius solution is "I'll simply put my phone in a faraday bag. Surely, my map app will still work like that!"

A treaty?? With Iran?? LOL LOL Iran's government is pure evil son. Allowing those sons of bitches to have nukes is like giving children to an Epstein foundation. What could possibly go wrong?

Wait, if negotiating a treaty with Iran is a bad idea that will surely go wrong, then why is Trump trying to negotiate a treaty with Iran?

Comment BREAKING: New Version Is The Best Version EVAR (Score 1, Funny) 40

The launch of Claude Opus 4.7 on Thursday comes after Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.6 in February. Anthropic said the new model outperforms Claude Opus 4.6 across many use cases

I am shocked -- SHOCKED -- to hear that a company has announced that the latest version of their product is better than the last version. Usually when company's release new versions, they're all "Hey guys, we're excited to announce that Gooch 2.8 just released. Unfortunately, it's slower than Gooch 2.7, we removed half the features, and the other half simply don't work anymore."

Kudos to the ./ editorial team for bringing us this breaking news.

I presume they mean that they extracted oxygen because making oxygen via fusion or fission seems unrealistic.

What's pretty cool about reading is that you don't have to presume anything. Like, imagine a world where you could've been assed to read just up to the second sentence of the summary where you would've learned "Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin ""announced this week that it had developed a reactor that could successfully release oxygen from lunar soil by using an electric current."

You could've spared us from you proudly proclaiming how lazy you are

"What if you could ask your guide dog where the nearest water fountain is and hear it answer back...

...with completely made up directions along with an incorrect walk time?"

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure one of the things blind people appreciate about seeing-eye dogs is that a dog isn't going to hallucinate whether it's safe or not to walk across the street, and they don't have to worry about getting run over by a truck, exclaim "What the fuck!", and have to listen to a dog reply "It appears that you had a 'Don't Walk' sign, and you're right for calling me out on that..."

Comment Why would a RAM shortage drive up SSD prices? (Score 4, Insightful) 52

SSD prices have gone up due to demand for SSDs from the AI industry; the demand for them has nothing to do with the shortage in RAM. Who the fuck writes this bullshit and thinks "yeah, that makes sense"? And then who edits it and says "yeah, that makes sense"? And what exactly do /. editors get paid for to read this and go "yeah, that makes sense" before posting it?

Comment Not a loophole (Score 3, Insightful) 17

Words have meaning: a loophole in a law is when the intent of the law can be evaded due to things such as ambiguity or an omission within its text.
...this article is just about a law that expired and didn't get extended. How has /. not replaced their crack editorial team with an LLM yet?

Just to be clear, you:
1) Think RMS didn't understand that an adult having sex with a child causes harm to the child was due to a "lack of social skills"?
2) Take issue with RMS being "cancelled" for having said shit like "child pornography" might be [...] an image of a sexually mature teenager that any normal adult would find attractive. What's heinous about having such a photo?

Good job on broadcasting that you've got some fucked up shit on your hard drive, champ
