Yeah, I miss the old days when the stories were substantial. Like when a whore steals your lemons.

I will definitely check it out. A lot of what I have heard is from the podcast "Darknet Diaries". I feel like it is pretty commonly known around here but, man.... It exposed me to a lot of things that I did not know were going on. And that's what is currently public information. What is not public information is probably way way worse. Another commenter below mentioned something about countries spying on countries, but what is currently happening in the digital warfare realm is way more than spying. As the OP article goes into, we are talking about attacks on infrastructure. That is not spying. The line needs to be drawn somewhere. Like... Attempted murder is a crime. Why is attempted hacking on infrastructure that would kill a bunch of people not a war crime?

The concept of war is changing rapidly in the age of information. Why would you deploy boots on the ground when you can use technology to break down a country from the inside?

There are actually cereal bowls that have two separated sides. Milk goes in one side and dry cereal in the other. You scoop dry cereal, dip in the milk, and every bite is as crunchy as the first.

Are you a horse?

Not the batch of WD Red SSDs I got in 2022. 3 of the 4 have failed. I'm assuming the 4th is going to die any day now. Fortunately WD honors their warranties, and only one drive died at a time so the my RAID was able to stay intact.

I feel like I must have gotten 4 from the same bad batch or something. One dying felt like bad luck, but when another died every 3 months it seemed like more than a coincidence. And none of the replaced ones have died, just the original batch.

So how long does an SSD last? YMMV.

The whole "Is hacking an act of war?" thing needs to be seriously reconsidered. Of course, if the US decided it was, they would be guilty of so many acts of war. And it's not just the US. Everybody is trying to hack everybody and acting like killing people by bringing down a power grid is somehow different than killing people by dropping a bomb. The outcome is the same: You did something that intentionally killed people.

Of course saying that hacking is an act of war opens up a huge can of worms. Suddenly small time hackers are being charged with or framed for war crimes.

It's a delicate issue, but I think it is worth revisiting.

Okay, so I'm not crazy. I started seeing this today, and I had to stop and think "Wait, was this always here?"

My dog goes absolutely apeshit when there is a non-human creature on TV. At first I thought he was just barking at dogs on the TV. Then it was any kind of animal. Then he started identifying and barking at any non-human. I mean like... I couldnt watch Lord of the Rings because he would bark at dwarves, elves, and Orcs. It's fucking insane. And it's not just live action stuff. The animated mucinex blob guy? Bark fest. Bluey the animated dog that walks upright on 2 legs? Bark fest. I used to love watching nature documentaries, and movies with aliens... I can't anymore, because my dog thinks that these creatures teleported into our living room and he needs to alert us to save our lives. And it's not like he would even stand a chance in any kind of face-off with these things. He's a 25lb mini labradoodle. The other day I was watching True Detective and there was a polar bear on the screen and he charged at the TV growling and barking and I'm like "Hey bud... That thing would devour the shit out of you. You would be a tasty little morsel for a polar bear. Know your size"

Sigh...

But I love him. He's the bestest boy.

My Irish cousin-in-law recently had a daughter and named her Blathnaid. I was very surprised to learn it is pronounced Bla-nid

I'm really surprised Dokaryan hasn't done this one yet. For those unfamiliar he's a guy that makes videos of soaking food in liqour for a week "or until something interesting happens". He then eats some of the food, and takes a shot of the liqour. His concoctions range from really delicious (strawberry candy in blueberry vodka) to downright foul (squid in Kraken rum).

His personality probably isn't for everybody. He's kinda loud and owns way too many fedoras, but he has grown on me.

That's why I use Powershell with the Graph API module. Of course running scripts is probably disabled for non admins.

Or maybe we put them in a room and fill it with the nitrogen gas. Some kind of... Chamber.

And it's reusable!

The Gang Goes Nuclear

Fargo and Dave the Diver.

Could be really interesting. Dave goes into the blue hole and finds a dead body. He needs to work with a detective on solving a murder while also running a sushi restaurant at night.

I would play this.

What scares me the most is the potential and very likely weaponisation of LLM/AI in disinformation campaigns. AI conspiracy theory bots having arguments and referencing fake statistics that people parrot and turn into truths. This is going to be way worse than 2016.

I know entirely too many people who don't use the hand scanner, and it's crazy to me. It is by far the most efficient way to shop. I get irrationally angry when there are people in the self checkout line with a whole cart of groceries. This line is not for you. Get with the times.

Hello you absolute legends.

I sometimes find myself humming/singing Mr.Weebl songs and my wife is like "Who the fuck is Magical Trevor?" and I'm like "You had to be there to understand, don't worry about it"
