Hermione mentioned in the first book that wizards tend to absolutely suck at things that are typically Muggle, like logic, so it follows that they probably suck at math too.
Unfortunately if Matt Gaetz, who actually trafficked and had sex with a minor, is anything to go by, this will hardly shift the needle.
Good on the host for insisting on getting the guy's face fully on camera. That's some quick thinking.
This ain't incompetence, this is a power trip. She also called CPS on a mother for questioning her special education needs program
Imagine your computer is a big block of flats and your applications are all people who live in the building.
Mail sent to the building address alone isn't going to reach the intended recipient, because the postman doesn't know what flat to post it to. So they need additional information such as 'Flat 2C'
That's the basic concept of ports. It's basically additional addressing information to allow your computer to direct internet traffic to the correct applications.
When an application is actively listening on a port, it means that they are keeping an eye out for messages addressed to them, as designated by the port number. While an application is sending or receiving messages using a given port number, that port number is considered 'open'.
Now, all sorts of applications do all sorts of things. Some are for the public to use and there are some that are useful within trusted circles, but can be abused by malicious people if anyone in the world can send messages to it. Thus, we have a firewall, which acts as a gatekeeper. A firewall can 'block' a port, denying access to a given group of people, or 'unblock' it, allowing access.
VPNs are a totally different thing. They are literally middlemen for your internet traffic. Instead of directly posting a message to somewhere and receiving a direct reply back, imagine you flew out to Italy to use a post box there and receive replies from there.
As House Speaker, it is not your job to speak on behalf of God.
Perhaps leave that to the popes.
India has already had several MeToo-like movements (comparable in size and scope). Some people are even starting to turn to violence out of sheer desperation.
The problem there isn't what goes on behind closed doors. They don't even need to close the doors. They can do their shit in public and the only thing that will get anything done is nationwide protests, much like US cop killings against BMEs.
I fear you are right and that a revolution will be what finally tips the scales.
All billionaires are cunts. All Nazis are cunts. Not all billionaires are Nazis.
Then isn't the correct solution to sue Nvidia?
It's a legal issue with a legal solution.
The internet. It's a fucked up place. Nothing like what the big players on the internet would have you believe.
So long as there exists a way for people to not get prosecuted, these things will exist.
Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.
Jesus. This sounds like literally every parody version of George W Bush, trying to get a laugh out of how massively exaggerated they made his stupidity.
No, things aren't rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.
The main use case of this is in porting. So if someone wanted to make a native port of their game, this library would make it potentially much easier.
The original Spanish Flu would absolutely fuck us up.
The reason it became mild has nothing to do with us building immunity but because a virus killing its host is bad for business (or strictly speaking, reproduction). A lack of viable hosts puts pressure on the virus's gene pool and in the end, the variant that is most successful at spreading and reproducing will win out.
That means not killing your host and only doing mild, repairable damage to other potential hosts so that humans don't take an infection so seriously.
We saw this exact pattern with COVID, with successive iterations being less deadly than the last.
I know right? If anything she's worse; she's the one not doing it out of necessity. She actually has a realistic choice.
Not that I have much sympathy for the supermarkets but fuck me, don't pretend you're better than the next person doing it, especially when they might only be doing it out of necessity.
I mean, it's better than Twitter in the one key aspect they care about: it is run by someone who is somewhat reliable. Sure, we can rely on Zuck to be a data-hoarding, privacy-invading fuck, but he can also be relied on to not insert his personal beliefs too deeply into his products.
As they fucking should. Identity theft is no joke.
Stage 1 of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
I have a hard time deciding what to do with this.
On the one hand... Dude, even as someone who loves dark humour, I couldn't bring myself to make a cancer joke upon news of a diagnosis unless the person was a true shitstain on the earth, like Trump.
On the other hand...that was fucking brilliant and works on so many levels.
This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.
You're forgetting a vitally important part of being a pentester.
Namely that they need to be trusted not to leak billions of dollars worth of trade secrets.
This kid is a prodigy as a black hat, but he'd be an embarrassment as a pentester.
Jesus fucking Christ! This is all horrific but I nearly missed that part. 15 years for taking a substance that could endanger the baby (no need to prove that it has)
Danger Will Robinson! Do NOT fuck with company hardware!
You are going to potentially set off a shit ton of alarm bells, and risk your job, by even attempting this.
First of all, almost all such devices come with a BIOS lock. You'd need to get the password before you could even begin this (again, do not do it!)
Secondly, they'll be able to tell something is up from the foreign UEFI entries.
Thirdly, if that doesn't expose you, Intel IME will. Doesn't matter what operating system you're running.
And you're going to create some royal fucking headaches for a lot of people in your company.
Let's start with security. Remember when I said you'll set off alarm bells? Well, I mean some mother fucking alarm bells. Security will have a god damn aneurysm over this, and they will believe you may be doing this to bypass security, possibly for nefarious reasons. A foreign hard drive with its own OS looks shady as shit.
Then there's the regular tech people. You're going to cause various headaches for them too. Not least because under many service agreements, the company itself may not be authorised to open up the workstations themselves. Many workplaces rent their workstations nowadays, and it is not uncommon to see this language in their SLAs.
Then there's the fact that the OS image on the original drive potentially cannot be trusted any more, so they have to wipe the fucker clean and do a fresh image install.
TL;DR, You are giving your company several solid reasons to fire you for cause by doing this.
They are "acting accordingly" by performing an ethnic cleansing. How disgustingly ironic.
Are you...are you fucking serious?
Jesus was literally all about that peace stuff. What fucking Bible is he reading from exactly?!
That pedos shouldn't be subject to extra-legal punishments. Think being lynched and shit. I also don't think they should be getting their own special cases in the law beyond those with a clear purpose of preventing reoffending.
Don't get me wrong, I think they are pure scum.
But things we allow on the basis of the accused being a pedo or terrorist have a habit of spilling over and affecting the general population. A lot of bad laws have made it onto books by blaming these two groups, for example.
It is about being able to be openly gay/bi. In many cultures, being open and proud about being LGBT is something many LGBT people can only dream of.
To me, this reads like the end of a character arc, where the MC has had to repress their LGBT identity for years before walking the path towards finally embracing it. That last panel would be a sweet spot to give the reader a chance to think about how far the character has come.
Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.
Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.
I mean if it was literally any other CEO, especially one without a majority share in the company, they'd be out on third strike. Elon is on strike 6
Unfortunately there isn't really a full list because that shit changes so often. Previously accepted phrases become slurs and yesterday's slurs get reclaimed.
Let's hope this isn't the first step of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Although in reality it probably is.
Judges take that risk every time they take a criminal case on.
Not at the level of Trump, they don't.
What makes Trump unique is that he is the leader of a massive cult. Our retaliation and intimidation laws don't work so well against those kinds of people because they don't give direct messages to make something happen. They give public statements and weaponise the wackos who 'took things the wrong way'.
These wackos had the balls to storm the capitol. They won't think much about a judge's home.
Funny how it's never the upper class that has to give.
Not being a virgin anymore? Thats something good too.
I find it absurd that virginity or lack thereof has any bearing.
Well no shit, it's copyright infringement. That's what DMCA Safe Harbour provisions are there for.
There is no confirmation that this came from Nintendo, nor does it list the actual infringing parts like a normal takedown request should.
It wasn't a revelation in 2013 either. The ledger data has always been public information.
Yes. It's very bad. Your idea assumes that the corporate side would leave the hobbyist side alone and not go on the offensive in underhanded ways. It is very much in the big tech playbook to go on the offensive in underhanded ways.
