What a tool

I don't know about best, but give Fabulously Optimized a try.

Please, enlighten me how you'd remotely service a few thousand Bitlocker-locked machines, that won't boot far enough to get an internet connection, with non-tech-savvy users behind them. Pray tell what common "basic hygiene" practices would've helped, especially with Crowdstrike reportedly ignoring and bypassing the rollout policies set by their customers.

Not saying the rest of your post is wrong, but this stood out as easily glossed over.

What a fucking moron. This is the guy whose self-driving car you trust?

Imagine having an obscene amount of money for the rest of your life, and the thing you decide to do is to invent more devices and methods to kill people.

They'll probably proudly claim they won without a hint of irony.

Yes, the most egregious one that really grinds my gears is on the front page of YouTube, where it will show a shelf with YouTube shorts with an X top right. If you click it, it will hide the shelf and say "Okay, we'll hide shorts for 30 days" which is something no body would ever mean by pressing that button and it's such patronizing, insidious bullshit.

I'm really loving the high-quality, modern journalism technique of checks notes basing an article entirely on what random people have said on social media.

On a hard drive. No, not a motherboard connected to a hard drive, a hard drive by itself. Sprite is brilliant.

I think you're entirely missing the point, which is that for all the notable arrests for sexual abuse of children (celebrities, politicians, priests, cops) it's never someone in drag, even though that's one of the GOP screaming points in trying to ban drag and trans people. They're pointing out the ludicrousness of that message.

It takes a special kind of moron to accidentally buy a popular social against your will and still get hoodwinked by disinformation trolls on the platform you now own.

Come on guys, you're all falling for obvious bait.

I know that they put it on tinder themselves

Consider that they might not have.

No it's not, what a weird take. If I publish my art online for enthusiasts to see it's not automatically licensed to everyone to distribute. If I specifically want to forbid entities I have huge ethical issues with (such as Google, OpenAI et. al.) from scraping and transforming my work, I should be able to.

You make memes on the internet sir, people in glass houses..

Well, if you bothered reading into the second paragraph, you'd have more info:

UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider, and service was restored May 2.

So Google doesn't keep (unpaid) backups for it's clients, and the ones UniSuper paid for were deleted along with everything else.

I think Alex Jones is a crisis actor. His company and assets were never real anyway.

Yeah, they're put there by a tomatow-truck.

Your OS can't decide when a tab is inactive though, given that they can run code, play media, etc. at arbitrary times.

They might have been required to, under the terms they negotiated.

I genuinely wonder what kind of fucking damage you have to have to seek out this shit, wtf...

Seriously, if you're reading this and this appeals to you, I implore you to not feed this machine money and instead confide in a therapist. I'm not judging you for the way you were molded but I will commend you for taking a first step to break out of that mold of your own accord.

I always wondered what would happen if an army of accountants took over an engineering-heavy company and just gutted the engineering culture for profit...

In practice, CrowdStrike very likely tests Falcon on various hardware as parts of their tests before shipping updates on it, as it's used by a huge amount of enterprises; and a fuckup like that would mess the trust they've built with those enterprises. Enterprises are trusting them to run ring 0 code on their computer, so they can have a malware-less experience after all.

I have an axe to grind with fakespot. My wife has a tiny business and is one of the most honest and sweet people I know. She would never pay for fake reviews and she wouldn't even have the knowledge on how to do so. Someone (not even us, mind you) posted a link to her product on Reddit and a Fakespot robot instantly called her out for supposedly having suspicious reviews, even though each and every order (and thus each and every review resulting from that) was legit. Her product was then mocked and all it did was give my wife stress.

So yeah, take them with a grain of salt. They are probably pretty good on average but some innocent people get caught in it as collateral damage.

I mean, both are true? It's not a manipulative headline in my opinion.

Why is the US government still insisting on using polygraph tests when they've been thoroughly debunked?

Less functionality as in "unable to open more than one panel at a time"

I stg Windows, every new UI is aggravating half-baked drivel.

(obligatory remark about the fact I mostly use Linux here)

Bullshit DMCA abuse

You say that as if that practice has been abandoned

Everything about this is awful, forced arbitration in consumer terms of service are a pox on justice.

I mean, it must be very difficult to checks notes host a static document in a scalable way.

But still, if only they had an asynchronous, distributed way of publishing this information. Like old school letters, only digital. That would help them decrease the load on their infrastructure...

It's too big. It's like how Christianity is not classified as a cult.

The problem was that one of his friends was connected to the airport's public Wi-Fi, so the photo ended up with British intelligence.

This doesn't make sense at all, it all goes over encrypted connections, the airport's wifi doesn't act as a hoover for data, they can't decrypt it without the private keys. Muuuuch more likely is that Snapchat cooperates with Five Eye's intelligence, apparently screening private chats for key phrases and forwarding them on to governments.

Consider that your target audience for this question might inherently have difficulty answering this.

.... but not too often.

If you have regular headaches, see a doctor. Could be hay fever or other allergies for example and there's stuff that works much better for that than painkillers.
