"Leftists"

Spotted the Russian shill. What's it like sucking Putin's cock?

" The US has backed Iran into a corner"

LOLno. Iran did so much damage the whole world is suffering on petroleum prices right now, and Iran knows what position it holds.

The US is backed into a corner and Trump is about to get his ass reamed by the rest of the fucking planet.

or maybe that's the sort of education they need?

it's a very popular feature on Macintosh computers. I worked for years as a service tech, and did hundreds of migrations. Apple has always made it very easy... I can remember plugging two computers together with a SCSI cable and running the migration assistant! I can still remember the days when windows users had to buy one of our "pc migration kits", that was a box with software and a special cable - USB-A on BOTH ends, and a plastic box in the middle. We sold quite a few of those.

Firewire on the mac was a breeze. Just launch the (included) migration assistant on the new computer, boot up the old computer in "firewire target disk mode" (would do that even if unbootable), connect computers with a firewire cable, and ALL your user data/account migrate, along with most or all of your fully installed apps. Apps with twitchy anti-piracy measures often needed to be reinstalled but not always. (and sometimes just required re-activating)

Apple did upgrade the hardware to do USB-target-disk-mode for awhile, but unfortunately Apple has dropped target disk mode in the newest systems. That's a shame, it was an INCREDIBLY useful tool for the technicians. I could plug in a hard drive that wouldn't even boot to another computer for remote repair or data recovery, never needed to pull a hard drive unless it was physically damaged. Nowadays you have the same migration assistant but it must be launched on both ends and you use an ethernet cable, so you can't just browse the other computer's hard drive if it won't boot.

Go to the Mojave instead. Lots of time in the year right now where it won't absolutely roast you alive and camping is fairly pleasant (if a bit chilly at night.)

Plotters could handle it back then.

"I don't really understand why this is a Slashdot story"

A DIGITAL BANK (aka TECHNOLOGY) isn't a Slashdot story?

Son where the fuck have you been?

" Investigations are under way into how the attack was carried out, "

Remotely, obviously. Get your fucking systems off the internet and quit being lazy cheap-ass humans.

I think it's time Google faced court for the same bullshit.

You went to a distribution that won't patch the latest security problem while everyone else already has? LOLOLOLOL

"Coming out in trial proceedings and discovery" pretty much gives you the source - read the court documentation. That entity was Melissa Nathan with TAG PR.

they're going to declare it a "critical" material.

another brilliant move.

"Generally this isn't true, instead it is stored in large quantities of stock or other assets"

It is still used as a leveraged mechanism with which to purchase things. How the hell do you think they live in big fucking houses and have chauffeurs? Thus it is effectively cash.

And with that cash they buy power, hoard resources, and generally fuck over the human population.

You're absolutely blind to how stock gets used. You're the one trolling, here.

That should tell you right now that if you're involved in this crypto scam crap that you shouldn't be trusting stablecoins as they are by design made to fuck you over at the whim of a centralized authority.

Maybe just RTFA would answer your question:

"It was Bielfeldt’s curiosity about the inner workings of inkjet printers that inspired his winning entry, but capturing the action of ink drops being deposited on paper was a challenge, given that the process happens so quickly. The droplets, for instance, moved faster than the camera’s shutter speed. Bielfeldt’s solution was to deconstruct the printer so that the paper moved under a stationary (rather than moving) printhead, and then take the image in a dark room, using a flash to serve as the shutter, thereby freezing the ink drops mid-air."
