@mntmn oh like in the good old days when PC tower cases were sharper than razor blades, that was fun!

@viticci Figured out why OpenAI is hemorrhaging money on inference

RT: @owenjonesjourno Read that again:

“The average terror suspect arrested in England and Wales is now a white woman in her 50s.”

That’s because of the proscription of Palestine Action.

It is absurd. It is self evidently absurd.

And history will damn every last person implicated

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

Ok, people who understand Amigas - if I have a CPU that doesn't consume a bus cycle to read the next instruction, I should be able to write to a register on every even cycle, right? Copper is going to have to read from RAM but can then do a write on the next odd cycle? So if I dedicate the CPU and Copper to this, I should be able to update custom chip registers on 75% of the available cycles in hblank when nothing else is trying to grab them?

It's not open source, they're just using an open source protocol to build this commercial application ... that no one will use.

If they made it actually open source ... that could be cool, but they didn't because they're cucks.

@GossiTheDog What was wrong with the SHA-256+salt that made it breakable; I'd assumed sha-256 was hard enough to replicate?

It was for the sake of this day that he had first decided to run for the Presidency, a decision which had sent waves of astonishment throughout the Imperial Galaxy—Zaphod Beeblebrox? President? Not the Zaphod Beeblebrox? Not the President? Many had seen it as a clinching proof that the whole of known creation had finally gone bananas.

NEW: A trivial bug could have allowed anyone to access and modify the TV stream of every FIFA World Cup match, according to a security researcher.

"The Streaming Management panel had full controls. Start, stop, schedule. For every match. Every camera angle. One click. That's all it would take to kill a live World Cup camera feed," the researcher said.

“A single attacker could hijack every camera simultaneously. An attacker could have rickrolled the entire FIFA World Cup. Or played Subway Surfers gameplay. Live. On every TV network worldwide. During an active match," she explained.

“Soon it will be virtually impossible to be online in the UK without handing over identity documents or biometric data to unregulated companies.”

The social media ban means EVERY user has to prove they're over 16. This puts millions at risk of their personal data being hacked.
