MacOS lets you run unsigned software too, you just need to remove the quarantine flag on anything you've downloaded if it's not been notarized.

For someone who is technically competent this is a very minor hurdle and only needs to be done when you initially download. Anyone who is not capable of doing this probably shouldn't be running random downloaded binaries as they're likely not capable of verifying that those binaries are not malicious.

Best I can tell, there really aren't on, at least on humans.

That is, by all credible accounts, completely unsupported. He's a well published researcher, yes, but he's not a medical doctor, and those who are, especially oncologists, are, at best, skeptical, and find it hard to take him seriously when he associates - proudly - with people are are, unambiguously, quacks.

As soon as he claims that cancer is one monolithic disease, and that his special diet should be used instead of chemo and radiation, plus the claim that the entire medical profession is engage in a massive conspiracy to kill people for profit with treatments that he claims don't work, I can't take him seriously either. Saying shit like could easily cost him his medical license - if he had one.

Antibodies are used in research because they can be trained to connect to almost anything small. Once they attach in the body or in a petri dish, you can use western blotting or florescence or other techniques to find the antibodies, and you've found what they attached to.

There are a number of other uses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The question was what motivation Iran would have to attack a power plant in the UK. And there is the answer.

As for the rest of your post, I agree, it doesn't seem likely this was a hacking attempt, and attribution evidence is missing.

You bet. There are a lot of Make America Great Again rednecks in Alberta (Danielle Smith is only pretending to support Carney in this trade debacle). They went to Washington to meet with Trump to tell him how great he is. Maybe if he gives them guns (more guns since they already are quite well armed) they can take Alberta for him.

Guess how many people speak welsh in Wales, or Finnish in Finland? 10 million is a LOT of people. And lets be honest here, its still french. Sure its a dialect, but if you know Canadian french and put in a bit of effort, its not exactly hard to pick up Metropolitan french, belgian french, swiss french, etc, etc, etc.

French class is basically a 'a bit of exposure to even the idea of an another language (in this case french), a bit of canadian history (esp french canadian), oh... and its a bit of an art and drama class too'. For fucks sake its 30 minutes a few times a week in grade school.

Nobody is expecting you to learn conversant or fluent french from gradeschool french class.

If they dedicated the the time to arabic or hindi or mandarin, it would be just as ineffective at producing speakers of those languages. Meanwhile, french has some canadian significance in terms of heritage and culture, and its an official language... so what are you really on about here??

Heavy metal isn't mainstream. What part is confusing you?

It is exactly that. Its abused by many actors, and imperfect, and there's plenty of canadian crap as a result. There's also quite a bit of good stuff, and plenty of it is even made by white men (a tragically marginalized group, according to you apparently.)

Being worth consuming doesn't mean you'll hear about it. Wasn't that your very own argument about 3 inches of blood??

Lots of canadian content worth consuming wouldn't gain traction without the promotion. Your right, a lot of it isn't worth much, but frankly, a lot of is. So lets hear about it. What's the real problem here? You can't find enough quality american content to consume because canadian content is crowding it out of the marketplace? For realsies?

Meanwhile, take a look at all that top tier quality we're missing out on thanks to all that canadian content rules. American TV is full of promotion for low rent garbage reality TV, cake baking contests, hoarders, absurdist dating contests, and so on. American netflix is full of cheap comedy specials and low budget subtitled filler from their foreign studios, American spotify is full of AI slop music.

So yeah... if some of that is getting pushed below the surface some canadian crap is getting promoted instead. So be it.

You're promoting your blog, self-promoter.

"There's always a tweet" is a thing with him.

Almost literally any subject, he's been on every side of at some point.

The present meme is "If you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love it, drive through it."

This sounds like it was written by someone who actually knows what they are doing, so I assume that they know better than I; but I am surprised to hear that it is impersonating a system dll; since (in all comparatively recent windows versions) system components are signed. Absolutely tons of fuckery you can do to them and around them; but if dpapi.dll doesn't have a signature that checks out the mechanisms that try to keep OSes up and running on marginal hardware subject to random power loss will likely eventually object and attempt a repair, even if there isn't any more paranoid EDR tooling in place.

Is the on-disk copy of dpapi.dll untouched and only the in-memory instance tampered with?

This.
It doesn't need to be a special packet, it could be a specific pattern hiding inside any packet received by the host. You don't need the ability to send traffic directly to the target, just the ability to interact with a traffic flow in or out of the system.

I just can't believe that It was the guys with their finger on GPU allocations, not just the expendable PC OEM they were trying to throw under the bus, the whole time. Whoever could have guessed?

I've also had audio blocked in browsers since it was implemented.
Nothing more irritating than opening a page and suddenly some loud obnoxious noise blares out.

The recent trend in software companies is to fire middle managers, and the metric used to evaluate managers for firing is the velocity. So that's the reason.

If you like your manager enough to help them, then break up tasks into smaller tasks that take an hour or so but still have 1 point of value.
