Egypt and Israel have a long standing cooperation in intel and security. Egypt telling them this isn't some whisper by an anonymous source.

And the late Gen-Xers, who, if they were nerds, often were the first to grow up with computers and internet in their lives.

I'm 45, I know plenty people my age who are grandparents.

Me personally, I was always on the bleeding edge of tech, worked in tech all my professional life too, so I'm less affected by this behavior.

But it makes it really hard to keep in touch with people my age online.

I was one of the first to join Facebook and one of the first to abandon it. But I had to make a new Facebook account about 5 years ago because these days my whole family keeps in touch through Facebook and sets up family gatherings through it and Whatsapp and lost the ability to text me that info ...

Yeah, the US especially is bad in that way.

And the fact the niceness is clearly forced and fake doesn't help.

Exactly.

And if you try to call it on that, they go "you're twisting my words", without actually ever explaining how their words are twisted.

I dressed up as Davy Jones once. Means I must hate squid faced pirates!

Conservatives do that quite regularly.

Problem is that people often don't listen.

I was hit with the bouncy horse bug the very first time I booted up Skyrim.

All game content and story issues aside, what pisses me of the most is that a month after release, we still only had a microscopic amount of bugfixes that don't even address some of the larger issues with the game.

I don't want to bring up BG3 again, but at this timespan after the game release, Larian already fixed THOUSANDS of bugs, big and small and overall, the game was much less obviously buggy than Starfield is. It's issues were more inconsistencies in logic and a handful of quest breakers, but otherwise not even noticeable until you read the patch notes.

It's crazy to me there's so little action from Bethesdas side in fixing this heap. I guess it rolls into their bullshit PR of pushing for Awards (they are literally looking to get a Grammy ...) and saying the game is nigh on perfect.

Now yank out the rest of the boring Starfuckers plot. The game is worse because of the main "story" (and NG+ shite).

Considering it comes from HP, yes.

To think that I'm actually a happy HP customer who's been using the same laser printer for 30 years.

Haven't bought any toner or fusers from them in the past 20 tho.

Season 3 of Picard was about that.

"You ever notice how stupid the average person is? Now realize that half of them are dumber than that!"

They don't like when someone other than them steals your data.

You don't get arrested for misconduct. You get sued.

You get arrested for sexual assault.

Bags of shit are useful.

They aren't.

The only way out of financial ruin and possible jail time for him is to overthrow the country and become defacto above the law.

He has nothing to lose and everything to gain in stirring up the rabid dogs that are his followers.

Things are going to get much worse before they get better.

Isn't Jim Jordan known to be an ass on a level Trump gave him a medal for it?

And that's not even getting started about his history in Ohio covering for pedos.

Email providers of every size don't just blanket block unknown servers, that's just asking for problems and loads of additional work.

They block known problems and detect likely problems.

Tools like ASSP (the spam filter I've used for a long ass time and used to install anywhere corporate filters weren't in the budget) use advanced heuristics in combination with every form of blacklists/whitelist/greylist filtering you can think of (both on DNS and snmp levels), to look at the contents of the mail in combination with how "normal" the DNS registration and responses of the mailserver are. Add to that the default of checking that an @microsoft.com email actually comes from a known Microsoft server. There's scores of public white and blacklists, generated by spam filters by receiving mail correctly from sources, which makes them go on whitelists and by detecting spam, which makes them go on blacklists. These lists have been around for decades by now and are constantly updated (mostly automatically).

You don't do email security and spam filtering by being an ass to everyone you don't explicitly know. You do it be looking for any suspicious signs and user feedback. Just blocking by default is a far bigger headache than letting your tools do their work and then going in manually when they miss something.

Google goes one step further and outright receives ALL mail, including spam, and just puts what is detected as spam in a spam folder.

First company I got to that had no spam filtering deployed at all, went from 3 million emails received per day to just over 50K. Most people in that company ran a (pirated) Outlook plugin that did desktop level spam filtering and still had to manually filter more than 90% of the mail they received and then every week or so, deleted their spam folder.

After I installed ASSP there, as I said, it went down to receiving only 50K emails per day, of which about 30K were still spam. After 2 weeks, it was down to 20K (a combination of me using the reporting tools from mail that landed in my own mailbox and the spam filter heuristics engine getting smarter from learning from the spam it received) and then I had a meeting with the whole company to teach them how to report spam (and whitelist known senders and false positives).

A month or two into the deployment, people were used to using the reporting button and they were down to receiving maybe 1 or 2 spam emails per day (which often were still detected as questionable, but not definitely spam) as they (the email senders) were completely new to the system.

This because spam outfits are relatively quickly detected, so they often have to change IPs, domains and methods and because of that, they perpetually exist on greylists which get scrutinized more heavily by filters.

A domain like mine, that has been running and sending/receiving email for decades, mostly to completely official destinations like banks, corporate clients, governments and other established instances, without ever even hinting at sending spam, will rarely have any issue delivering its mail to its target as it is already known on black/whitelists generators as a good sender.

Whoa whoa Arnold, start at his level and build up to 3 times. If he manages to stand 5 minutes without falling over I'd be surprised.

We rather make a deal with a daemon.
