Agreed - and it lives on today in some of my friend groups. When we see some random, chaotic image and it can be read as "TITOR" it's always shared!

This is a horrible straw-man of the situation which somewhat conveniently manages to sidestep any real acknowledgement of the genuine harm and its scale. Terrible article.

I might be missing something obvious but there only appears to be the option to draw something in predefined places - where the bubbles appear on the map. I'm trying to mark up somewhere new that doesn't have a bubble and I can&#x

Ok, I give up. How am I supposed to draw something?

As the default simulation played out beautifully on-load, I immediately started to question: "hang on, I thought there wasn't a solution for 3 bodies, but this looks stable". Before I could complete the thought, it fell apart

We've recently come to this conclusion with our Cockapoo. His mother was a working Cocker Spaniel. When the weather is poor we have often tried to get shorter walks in dry spells but augment it with as much ball time as possible to mak

Isn't a better question: why would it matter? Whichever is true, we all benefit, so why agitate over it? Conflating the two issues will not generate a single iota of good so drop it.

100% bullying. Something that isn't seemingly being commented widely on either is that Vance started hitting Zelenskyy with bursts of multiple questions and as soon as he started answering the first there were immediate challenges and

> Europe's defence should not be entirely on the American tax payer True. However. The US has wanted to play a major role in Europe for 80 years because it meant they controlled the narrative. This, co-incidentally was favourable

Speaking as a worker this seems like a positive move. Stepping outside that though - how is this going to impact the wider economy? The UK is in a tough spot. Partially self-inflicted, partially political, partially just the way things are

Cookie Clicker taught me this about Destiny and Destiny 2 as well. I got a lot of enjoyment out of those games - and they were partly the backdrop to socialising online with IRL friends who didn't live close to me - but at some point t

The problem is you’re simultaneously arguing two points and relying on whichever point gives you the most leverage at each juncture. If .gov == bad guy then you’re screwed whether or not you leave a digital trail on social media because you

The card you might have paid with is though. I can’t remember any instances of a card hack revealing transactions of customers though (I might be wrong, just doesn’t ring a bell). It’s not a given that digital record must lead to compromise

Totally agree with this - when it popped up asking me if I wanted to use my fingerprint to do ..._something_... I felt like I was at risk and noped out.

Gong back about 20 years we had to introduce a "pre-screening" interview for infosec roles because of the calbire of candidates we were getting through. They'd made it through the HR "sift" by having the right words

I think this is probably correct on the balance of probabilities but I have 2 concerns with it. Firstly the “it would be illegal to listen” argument feels absurdly naive. Whilst almost certainly true, it only “matters” if the penalty for th

There was also an application that took a screenshot of your current desktop and then gave you a bunch of weapons - bats, guns, bombs - and allowed you to smash it to pieces. That was nice sometimes.

It's mixed. On the plus side, if I book out the family holidays and school holidays and and some time at Christmas and a few days for gigs or whatever, then as soon as something unexpected comes up I need to start horse-trading my days

My PiHole resolves off to Quad9 and Cloudflare. Never had any problems with either - I have both selected in case one has issues so that I don't need to immediately deal with "Daaaad the internet's not working!"

This is crushingly pertinent for my career at the moment. I've come from an organisation that I might describe as "architecture-led" into an organisation that is perhaps more "engineering-led". I prefer to plan and

I used to do a lot of work in VB6 back in the day (I'm no longer coding/developing) but it was nice to read about the "joy and excitement" of VB6. That really resonated with me. Closest I've been since is the simpli
