Knowing the absolute cabbages walking around that place, it’s probably a WiFi pineapple that will accept any password and is just intercepting all of the traffic.

This isn’t Hanlon’s razor here. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they’ve absolutely thought this through. While 47 might be a petulant manchild, the people he’s surrounded himself with are as dangerous as anyone.

Cool that the same court in Texas always gets to decide policy for the entire fucking country.

Learning to have a conversation and not a monologue is also a pretty solid skill.

People stand there talking without a break and I just stop listening.

I’m a terrible person, I know

I think that people can evolve as they mature. Recognizing that you don’t like the person that you used to be and taking steps to be a better person doesn’t make you a terrible person at all.

I also did and said a bunch of things in my teens that I abhor and regret as an adult, but I think that I grew into a respectable person and speak out against the very things I have said as a child.

How much concrete did they pour to build the infrastructure needed to host the games? I’d really like an analysis of that and the carbon footprint left behind by a few dozen AC units over a couple weeks.

Nobody mixes wasabi with soy sauce. They mix horseradish paste that’s dyed green with soy sauce, because real wasabi is prohibitively expensive and most people have never actually had it, myself included.

So currently I’m running a 5800x and a regular 2060. I’ve got a 650w gold PSU that’s about 4 years old, no problems with it at all. I’m thinking about upgrading to a RX 7800 XT because GeForce prices are perpetually absurd. It seems like it would be enough power, but the few things I’ve read say that I need at least a 750w if I go with the AMD (because they’re power hungry?), but 650w would be fine for a 4070ti. If I have to buy a new PSU, I feel like it would wipe out any savings I might get by buying AMD over Nvidia. How can I definitively know if I need more power?

Full disclosure, I understand the concept of undervolting, but I’m not nearly confident enough to mess with the settings.

Just curious here, because I don’t really know how this works - will they have to disclose how many shares they sold to power users prior to the IPO? I’d love for that number to be as close to zero as possible.

So let me get this straight. This fucking idiot is arguing that Joe Biden can order Seal team 6 to wipe out the entire Trump family, and then be covered by presidential immunity? Interesting thought process there.

The quote from EFF really highlights concerns about such a system.

I’d love to see the data gathering and protection policies in place for all the footage aggregated. Are the cameras constantly being recorded? Where is the footage stored? Who has access? How is the data (camera locations, footage, authorized users, access logs, etc) protected? How long is it saved? What happens to the data when the contract ends and isn’t renewed? What happens to all the monitoring software installed on a camera “grid” once the contract ends? Is it uninstalled automatically or just shut off and left there?

It’s troubling enough that towns as small as 25k people are blowing such a large chunk of money on hypothetical situations, but there’s zero mention or transparency into the security aspect of this entire enterprise. So many of these IoT outfits ignore data security, because they feel it’s somebody else’s problem. It’s the main reason why you don’t want household IoT devices on the same network as your trusted devices.
