Exactly, it was fortunate that so many VMware products were based on open source releases, which facilitated migration away from Broadcom's "monetization" exercise

The ThinkPad line started life as business grade notebooks. They were never consumer laptops, and company IT centres were expected to service them. Even ex corporate second hand ThinkPads were both desirable and very usable. To Lenovo's credit, although they messed around with the designs, sometimes badly, they have generally preserved the quality until now. It's their school and gaming laptop offerings that are pretty shaite.

Seems like the "ceasefire" is already broken.

The correct response to reacting to a crazy asshole madman is to bomb his shithole country to the ground, pour prevenir les autres.

At least, that was the theory of Iraq 2003-2011.

Maybe they're both true. Maybe they're both false.

Or maybe don't engage with talking points dreamed up by propagandists?

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.

Do you often use VeraCrypt on a company-managed device? I'm sure if you do then it's with the knowledge and consent of your IT department and they'll be responsible for managing any consequences of the VeraCrypt issue according to their official policy as well.

I thought there were a lot of groups praising the repairability of the new Neo? Did they not consider it? or is it more a matter of it being a single model in a larger brand of less repairables?

There'd be no need to rescue a downed pilot if we hadn't started an unnecessary fight. The administration is taking credit for solving problems that they themselves are creating.

It kind of reminds me of the legal principle of "unclean hands", where someone creates a problem and then tries to get damages from someone else because they were harmed by the fallout of their own actions. Sort of a "I walked into the campfire and he failed to pull me out".

Though in this case, they TOSSED airmen into the fire, and then they rescued them, and now they want praise and thanks for saving them. Sir, your hands are unclean, you will get no praise from me for rescuing people from a peril you yourself created.

What if the white hat AI introduces the vulnerabilities?

I don't know why they emphasize the cybersecurity dangers though. It's like they want to get sued for encouraging attacks on company networks. Perhaps they think in America you can attack anybody without consequences. Perhaps they're right?

What for? The energy required is mainly for leaving the Earth gravity well, so substantially the same if you're merely slingshotting around the moon no matter where it is. The launch window is mostly a function of terrestrial climate and slightly unpredictable. The time to reach the moon would be less than 5% longer, a few hours more over 3 days. Probably timing the arrival for around peak TV times would be more important than minimizing the distance.

Joke's on you, Russia! Every single router had the credentials admin/admin.

Were they? Or are they just going along with TACO Tuesday pretending they negotiated?

That's not a breakfast! That's a space station!
