  • I heard that the sun is a deadly laser, ya learn something new all the time

  • If you assume it never will again, then you've been defeated

  • I'm not disagreeing with you, but stop saying putler. It sounds forced as fuck and takes away from the points you're trying to make.

  • Maybe lead your claims with a link in the first place.

    Either way, people are nuanced.

  • Idk, same reason older generations liked TV so much. Keep in mind they had to air the "It's X o'clock, do you know where your kids are" commercial because they literally were glued to the TV. So when an older person says some shit about video games, remind them of this.

  • The databases aren't encrypted exactly...

    The DB don't even store passwords, but a hash of a user's password. When someone logs in, their password is hashed and compared to what's stored in the DB. If they match, entry is granted.

    Passwords stored as one-way hashes are cracked by generating passwords and running them against the same hash algorithm, like sha256, sha-1 or md5 if you're especially shitty at protecting information. Same hash = same password in most cases. The cracking is done using GPUs because they accelerate at those types of functions. This doesn't even consider salted hashes which make the process more difficult for an attacker.

    You do this locally so that you don't lock a username out or trip alerts or become noticed by someone until you're ready to gain access.

  • Calling it here: if the TikTok ban actually starts, he'll whine he's being persecuted and they're out for him, even though he knew about the bans possibility long in advance.

  • That's a nest thermostat. Press the face inward to wake it, spin the dial to adjust settings.

  • Maybe it's true that some people dont want to prosecute a former president, but we have to for the sake of our future.

  • +1 to steam sales being more worthwhile back then. I 1000% understand the ownership thing. I don't think most people had to consider what digital purchases really could mean until Sony pulled purchased content out of people's libraries.

    I personally don't think Steam is comparable to Sony apart from digital purchases. Steam or Valve aren't beholden to large share holders because they aren't publicly traded, I don't think they'll have the same objectives as Sony and prioritize their users instead of public shareholders.

    I'd be happier if dedicated servers became the norm again for developers. Games wouldn't disappear at the flick of a switch when servers are decommissioned.

  • How has steam experience been for you? I've been on steam for about 20 years and don't recall they doing anything the likes of Sony doing to their customers.

  • Thanks, I think more people need to try approaching things like this and see how word substitution sounds.

  • Yeah, I'm not ruling out Israel unknowingly killing their own (or even knowingly I guess) but I think regardless if an explanation (that's true) by either was possible, it'd be better.

  • Problem I think is why they don't have them now if they had them at some point.

    Unless they never had them to begin with; having people and now no longer having them points to killing them which, surprise, hurts negotiation.

    Who knows though, Israel might of taken them for innocent Palestinians and did it to themselves :(

  • Weird, I don't take it as gleeful?

    It's got a tone of "O RLY?" Because hamas bit off more than they could chew.

    No one's happy.

  • Nah, how else will Republicans cry that solar energy is bad, and that we need coal and oil?
