why was he even running Windows?
This is the "Fox News defense".
"It's not our fault because if someone's stupid enough to trust us, they deserve what they get."
Well to be fair, he is a "Murdoch"
-- because a person has unfettered access to the digital content for an extended period of time.
Here's the problem. It isn't just a word, it's the fact that the seller wants the buyer to assume that the period is "forever". In many cases, the actual period can't even be determined at the time of sale. It would have to be changed to something like "You are purchasing the right to view this media item until we decide to stop paying royalties for it. Also, you need to keep paying a monthly fee, or you will then lose access to anything purchased through this service. We make no guarantees that this period will even be long enough for you to finish watching it, but it may end up being for your entire lifetime. We also make no guarantees that the membership fee will remain the same price, or even that membership will be available. Good luck!"
Once the proper words are filled in, it will be obvious that the consumer isn't even aware what they are paying for... and that is worthy of a class action suit.
A New Yorker reporter was recently deported for reporting on the Columbia student protests. This unfriendly climate will kill tourism in America. Then it will have a ripple effect as future presidents and prime ministers go elsewhere to study, killing America's soft power among elites of other countries. And for what? It's not like legal student visa holders were causing a crime wave.
At least this shows Europe (Anti-tourism is spreading across Europe) a way forward in how to stop tourism
He's... not wrong.
We should be really scared of people who are excited about finding ways to kill people we (or our allies) are in conflict with, but they're a necessary evil as those people exist on the other side of the conflict.
They are weapons, ideally to be controlled by more measured and compassionate people, and deployed in self-defense against people who aren't quite so restrained.
For instance, the people finding new ways to kill Russian troops in Ukraine. They're getting lots of people killed, but it's justified because Russia invaded and started indiscriminately killing a lot of innocent people.
Like the Training Day quote...
"To protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf."
However, requiring mixed case and special characters? If you give that up you drastically reduce the difficulty of dictionary attacks. You double the size of the required table by using mixed case, triple it with special characters.
Nope. Most people, when they are "required" to use mixed case and special characters, do it in a way that can be easily brute forced with only a handful of extra attempts (1 = !, at = @, O = 0, etc.). The parts that preserve the difficulty of brute force are:
when evaluating password length.
Web site have been having it both ways for years: they have been telling us to make harder password, while simultaneously making it harder for us to do so. In some cases, passwords were truncated or forced to lower case before being hashes, making them much much weaker than it seemed they were. And then when a password is compromised, the user is blamed.
Don't mix up the actual strength if voluntarily using complex passwords with the perceived strength of forcing someone else to do so.
... it would seem that Iran is more afraid of Trump than Harris.
Actually they're angry that Trump had Qassem Soleimani killed.
It's kind of funny. The Russians hack the Democrats, the Iranians hack Trump. The Russians and Iranians are practically allies. They should probably schedule some collaborative hacker meetings to make sure they're on the same page.
...shutting down its Stadia game streaming service this summer
That's just what I was thinking. They said the same about Stadia, and yet it was canceled. To be fair, they didn't do it in the summer, but I think it's fair to say that Fitbit's days are probably numbered. Especially after all the feature removals that Google has been pulling with Fitbit.
Their problem is they have no serious path to long term profitability.
That is the right answer. Reddit cannot rely on growth anymore, not at this point. And it's certainly not profitable in its current form. Warning about a bunch of "troublemakers" messing with the price is ignoring the giant iceberg ahead.
Microsoft has announced an atomic energy station to power its AI needs.
You're not wrong. Maybe AI will be the thing to bring Nuclear back in favor? https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/26/23889956/microsoft-next-generation-nuclear-energy-smr-job-hiring
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
