...Beginning with a forced eating challenge in which one employee had to consume a dead tarantula. Hey chief product officer Scott Olechowski, quit stealing my moves!

Ironically this war has worked out well for Russia—it draws media attention away from Ukraine while simultaneously expending supplies of Patriot missiles and other munitions, and the spike in oil prices has basically wiped out the benefits of crushing them with sanctions for the past four years.

These are just some of the 'miracles' you can accomplish when you let Bibi Netanyahu start another war so he can keep postponing the conclusion of his corruption trial...

My Kindle 3 died recently, and I replaced it with a basic Kobo Clara. The browser is a mixed blessing (very buggy), but certain familiar mods—custom screensavers and ssh are built in. It was very weird to buy a device that wants to be hacked! It literally comes with a file called "ssh-disabled" that contains the instructions "rename this file to ssh-enabled and reboot," no jailbreak required.

Yeah, I read through those... and found that while it described a vulnerability, it was still light on actual exploit details.

Did they compromise the inward facing web interface, or an outward web interface? Did they do it through social engineering, or through malware running on devices on the internal network? Was the malware persistent or was it a drive-by instance running a portscanner in a browser instance?

Basically, the question I have is - would flashing say, openWRT on these devices been enough to prevent network intrusion, or were they already inside the gates to begin with?

The linked articles are remarkably light on details of how the routers were compromised. Were they breached from the internet side due to backdoors or poorly implemented services? Was it some sort of configuration default for remote administration that was just bulk abused? Or were the routers compromised from inside the network by malware running locally on machines, or on malware compromised pages? Was it due to remote code execution or was it due to default admin credentials or easily guessable passwords?

Kind of hard to defend against a threat if they won't tell you how the deed was done.

Quantum Computing has been 10 years away for the past 30 years. But now it's only 4 years away!!!

Thinking further, it seems like it'd be impossible to separate things because commodities future trading is in fact a kind of gambling. When you buy a futures contract, you're betting that the price of the commodity will go above the contract price. The seller is betting it won't. The only difference is what you get if you win the bet. dollars or eg. corn. Once you allow intangibles in, even that distinction disappears. The dissent has a point, but I think the majority is correct as to the law and if people don't like it then the law needs to be changed to restrict what can be traded on a commodities market.

Sure, but the question is when. I've got $200 on before Jan 2028.

You know, looking at the definition, I could probably make the argument that a pull on a slot machine is a "swap" per the definitions as long as the casino operator jumped through the hoops to get declared a DCM.

The people that made vacuum tubes could just become people who made transistors.

Your argument only makes sense if the people who are being displaced by AI have the option to become AI (or at least something that will never be displaced by AI).

general inequality because it factors in all the levels, not just specific boundaries.

Re: "because they needed to free funds for building data centers."

Yes, for some co's that's certainly the case. But it's not because "bots took jobs", but rather "bots need funds".

Correction: "laid off"

It WAS. I challenge you to provide a link to Darwin sources of MacOS 26.

You can't say chocolate is a shitty flavor without being explicitly for another flavor. Care to try again?
