The first thing everyone heard was "Trump trial" and "man sets self on fire". The news media was mostly covering the trial in a live stream format which didn't help get the whole story out. Now that's its been a few hours, a more complete picture is forming.

Mental illness is a hell of a thing. Especially when it leads to self-harm.

That depends on if you work for the government

I question whether or not Tesla will be around in 3 years. The Cybertruck has been one giant cash sink that has delivered a giant rusty lemon. They cancelled their latest consumer grade car. Their next product is robo-taxis and that's with a history of driver death from their self-driving tech. And the major car brands have caught up or are at Tesla's heels.

This is only for new users. They will be able to do write actions for free after 3 months.

Surely, bot owners never thought to age their accounts before unleashing them.

Twitter for Nazis was never a viable business model. Neither is Netflix for Nazis.

Not a Florida woman. Georgia woman. Georgia is exporting their crazy to Florida.

Yeeeaaah, that makes more sense. 😅 That would be a giant gaping vulnerability if everything was in kernel space.

Bluetooth has one of the largest network stacks. It's bigger than Wifi. This means some parts of the stack probably aren't tested and may have bugs or vulnerabilities. It has duplicate functionality in it. This opens up the possibility that flaws in how different parts interact could lead to vulnerabilities or exploits.

A number of years ago some security researchers did an analysis of the Windows and Linux stacks. They found multiple exploitable vulnerabilities in both stacks. They called their attack blue borne, but it was really a series of attacks that could be used depending on which OS you wanted to target. Some what ironically, Linux was more vulnerable because the Linux kernel implemented more of the protocol than Windows.

There's talk on the Linux kernel mailing list. The same person made recent contributions there.

Andrew (and anyone else), please do not take this code right now.

Until the backdooring of upstream xz[1] is fully understood, we should not accept any code from Jia Tan, Lasse Collin, or any other folks associated with tukaaniorg. It appears the domain, or at least credentials associated with Jia Tan, have been used to create an obfuscated ssh server backdoor via the xz upstream releases since at least 5.6.0. Without extensive analysis, we should not take any associated code. It may be worth doing some retrospective analysis of past contributions as well...

You can try it and find out.

They don't care unless it embarrasses them. They did nothing about /r/jailbait until it got news attention, and similar things have happened over and over again.

Wasn't Gearbox hired to finish Duke Nukem Forever? I remember it being someone else's turd they had to polish.

Yet another example of why we need privacy laws with real teeth.

Do you mean Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)?

Some back of the envelop math. It took about 8 hours 40 minutes to get to 13,800 digits, give or take.
\ That's an average of 26.5384615384615 digits / minute.
\ At the current rate it would take ~37,681 minutes to read 1 million digits.
\ Or 628.019323671498 hours.
\ Or around 26 days 4 hours.

So basically, Saber and all studios under Saber won't have to worry about suffering the same fate as Volition did under Embracer. Maybe?

This is an FYI for any Tribes: Ascend fans. Tribes 3 is basically being developed and published by Hi-Rez 2.0. Prophecy Games is a spin off of Hi-Rez Studio and is run by the owner.

For those not familiar with the history of T:A, Hi-Rez released the game as free-to-play, had some of the grindiest of grinds (took forever to unlock the spinfusor for just one class), and a monetization plan that was targeting whales. There were balancing issues that needed to be addressed, promised features left undeveloped like competitive, and they basically abandoned the game within a year. They moved their developers over to Smite while things degraded leaving the player base salty AF. You'll have to visit that other site for the history, but this is probably a good starting point. And I can't forget that the CEO never took responsibility for their horrible monetization plan.

Now I would hope that Hi-Rez Prophecy would have learned from their mistakes because Tribes is one of those games I hold a special place for. However, they released a pair of day 1 DLCs that each costs more than the game itself.

Can we get the long list? Would love to know who the celebrity conspiratorial nut jobs are without having to do any work.

Needs more jpeg.

After digging through the rule the NHTSA adopted, there's nothing in there that mandates side glazed windows. The rule covers ejection mitigation. The summary hits the major point:

The agency anticipates that manufacturers will meet the standard by modifying existing side impact air bag curtains, and possibly supplementing them with advanced glazing. The curtains will be made larger so that they cover more of the window opening, made more robust to remain inflated longer, and made to deploy in both side impacts and in rollovers. In addition, after deployment the curtains will be tethered near the base of the vehicle’s pillars or otherwise designed to keep the impactor within the boundaries established by the performance test. This final rule adopts a phase-in of the new requirements, starting September 1, 2013.

There's a lot of discussion in there. The document is over 300 pages. Some of it covers how the side windows can be down or could become deformed from a roll-over. For testing procedures the windows have to be pre-cracked or removed.

The Federal Registrar calls out side glazed windows in 49 CFR 571.226:

S1. Purpose and Scope. This standard establishes requirements for ejection mitigation systems to reduce the likelihood of complete and partial ejections of vehicle occupants through side windows during rollovers or side impact events.

and in 49 CFR 571.226 S4.2.1.1:

S4.2.1.1 No vehicle shall use movable glazing as the sole means of meeting the displacement limit of S4.2.1.

I anticipate that mid to higher end vehicles will have side glazed windows. While lower end vehicles will not.
