Do you mean something like "Legitimate Company hacker@malware.net"? In this case the company domain was in the actual sender address and not just the display name. Anyhow, ty for the insight!

When these tests are conducted are they typically sent from an email with a non-company domain? I ask because a few months ago my partner received a test which she failed because it was sent from an email under her company's normal domain name. I'm not in IT but I am in software dev and I thought this was pretty unreasonable, since in that scenario (AFAIK) either the company fucked up their email security or the attacker has control over the Exchange server in which case all bets are off anyway.

I looked it up and this is exactly right.

Bank switching is necessary because the 6502 chip in the NES has a 16-bit address space, with the bottom 0x4019 (~16K) bytes being reserved for system use (RAM, PPU/APU features, and controller I/O). Cartridges therefore only had access to a ~48 KiB range of address space (although in practice I believe only the top 32K was typically used for ROM), so bank switching was needed to be able to fully access anything larger.

Their black coffee isn't great, but their espresso is good which is what makes it into the sugary drinks. I think the main draw is that it's pretty consistently decent, while with other chains like Dunkin or Wawa you're never quite sure what you're going to get but it's probably not going to be that good. I'll also add that the coffee they sell at grocery stores isn't bad (although it's far from my favorite). I think it's much worse at Starbucks itself because it inevitably ends up burnt pretty shortly after it's brewed.

As far as price, it costs $2 because that's the price that Starbucks determined maximizes profit. From what I've seen at other coffee shops though including Mom and Pop ones, that price point is pretty typical.

Very tangentially related but one of my favorite videos

They still have a 6-seat lead, and even if two or three resignations follow they'll still have a 1-seat buffer on party-line votes.

I think you're seriously overestimating the number of people who would actually benefit from that ease of use.

The Moscow Times is actually now headquartered in Amsterdam and has been banned in Russia. I wouldn't exactly consider it to have a pro-Russian bias.

I think the trouble with the conclusion you're drawing is that it enables one to make sweeping statements about Muslims on the whole while maintaining plausible deniability in claiming that they're only referring to "the bad ones." In other words, sort of an inverse "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Furthermore, I would wager that most people you're referring to as "ex-Muslim" would still very much consider themselves to be Muslim, and even though you're explicitly not addressing them in your claims, it's not a huge leap that someone acting in worse faith would use your rationale as an excuse to generalize the entire demographic (including the so-called "ex-Muslims").

The title here isn't very good. He was previously sentenced to 13 years in BC, which was then replaced with a 6 year sentence in accordance with Dutch law.

I personally take the stance that the justice system should be rehabilitative above all else, but I honestly don't see how someone like this can be rehabilitated. No normal person would be capable of committing such an unambiguously evil act, and it's a shame he can't be put away for life.

Tommy Lee Jones says this in Men in Black, no idea if it was coined before that though.

That KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user [...] is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman.

Yeah, I stopped reading here.

The Asus BT500 dongle works quite well in my experience as long as you're running a kernel from the last 1-2 years, it's only BT 5.0 though.

Somewhat ironically, this article reads a lot like it was written by a generative AI.

I don't have exact numbers, but there is some increase in power draw associated with refreshing the screen more frequently. It's certainly nowhere near as impactful as rendering at 50 FPS vs 25, but it's non-zero.

The US wields immense geopolitical power; of course they get a say. That's not to say that it could prevent an annexation if the CCP wanted it badly enough, but Washington has no shortage of levers to pull to make it as unattractive an option as possible.

On the contrary, I think that totalitarian states are moreso the exception than the rule in this day and age. Hell, I wouldn't even group Russia in the same class. There are varying degrees of autocracy and the US president certainly wields more power than heads of state/government in many European countries, but it's just a bad faith argument to try to draw a comparison to it when speaking about a regime such as the CCP.

Apples to oranges, the DPR and LPR moreso puppet states of the Russian Federation than sovereign state in their own right. The same isn't true of Taiwan (despite its ties with Western states aiming to protect their interests in the region).
