Does ACAB include RoboCop?

It still is if you’re willing to jump through enough hoops

This was a pretty good series on the subject. He goes into what “currency” is right at the beginning

Generally, they know you’re using a VPN because of where your traffic is coming from.

They probably block Digital Ocean’s IP pool as a whole as it’s often a hub for cybercrime and it would only affect a fraction of users.

What those EU governments are doing is out of interest for national security rather than hate for licensing. The US has changed drastically in the last decade and getting your sensitive data out of their infrastructure is a top priority.

The cost of change from Windows to Linux is pretty small for an individual. Most people have one or two machines and a handful of programs, none of which are critical to your continued existence.

In the corporate world, you need to be absolutely sure that everything will work flawlessly, which often means weeks or months of testing on top of all your regular IT duties, constant support tickets to obscure software vendors who may not have ever worked with Linux, and if some mission-critical piece of software breaks, then the company cannot operate until it is fixed…or you can continue to use Windows, even though it sucks more now.

I want Linux to have wider adoption in the desktop space, but it’s a catch 22. People aren’t going to move unless the software is guaranteed to work, and Linux-based software isn’t going to be made unless people are using it. This is why Proton was such a big deal. It offered a real option for gaming to move to the platform and now it’s viable and devs are starting to take linux into account.

Microsoft is bleeding power users and PC enthusiasts at an unprecedented rate. This is a great thing for Linux, but they are still absolutely locked into the corporate world and that’s where the money is.

The reality is that Microsoft solved management of corporate policy and identity like 25 years ago and nothing else has come close. It has its problems, but Active Directory is an incredible piece of software. The combination of LDAP, with obfuscation of Kerberos to the point where you don’t even need to know it exists, combined with policy deployment to endpoints is nothing short of a miracle.

Linux has tools for all those things, but none are easy to deploy or configure. If you have to manage thousands of desktops, Windows is still the clear choice

No i said pigS. One doesn’t count

For real. I got my hands on a fully loaded PowerEdge 2900 around 2017 and it added almost $100 to my monthly power bill.

I assure you, the rare security issues for password managers are far preferable to managing compromises every couple weeks.

I used to brush in the shower back in my early 20s. Then one time when I went to spit, it landed right on my dick.

Toothpaste is an unexpectedly uncomfortable feeling, so now it’s sink only.

It sounds like you’re looking for a reason to skip PPE when printing in resin.

I implore you to put up with it. It’s not really the resin itself that’s dangerous, its the volitile organic solvents that they’re mixed with. Long term exposure is bad news. After washing and curing, the volatiles are no longer present in hazardous amounts on the part.

This seems like promising technology, but the figures they are providing are almost certainly fiction.

This has all the hallmarks of a team of researchers looking to score an R&D budget.

I wonder why there isn’t a more reliable source of info coming out of North Korea. It must be a near utopia in there if the only people that make it out of the country are these unreliable defectors that universally agree that life is bad there.

As a similarly old curmudgeon, my understanding is that it’s like Second Life, but with the ability for users to create whole-ass games. And (hopefully) less cybersex considering the primary audience is underage

I like the scene when he gets accosted by some low skill mages who give the line “prepare to defend yourself, wizard” and he just pulls out his gun.

my favorite example

How about something a little more extreme

I would be surprised if they force the requirement on LTSC.

I could believe they force it into enterprise licensing, but LTSC’s whole deal is that the environment doesn’t change and only gets security patches. It’s made to be used in kiosks, CNC controllers and the like. Machines that are supposed perform one task reliably.

This is also the reason it’s the best version of Windows for the desktop, and why Microsoft makes it so challenging to acquire licences.

This is a pretty big deal and should be patched, but it’s not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario would be if an attacker could do this remotely through your game.

Basically, if someone has the ability to change the shortcut on an end machine to specify additional arguments, your game could be used to run malicious code on that machine under the guise of your game, making detection harder.

The benefit is that modifying a shortcut is not an easy thing to do without tricking the user, or using an already established remote control of the endpoint.

However, this is still a vulnerability and one that should have a minimal impact if it were patched. You should install this patch if you make games with Unity.

Non-LTSC Windows 10 hits EOL next month. They’re telling you you need to upgrade to the latest version to stay current, albeit in the most Microsoft way possible.
