The most secure endpoint is one that is completely inaccessible because the underlying service isn’t running.

Turns out making everything into a subscription service doesn’t make it better, it just makes it worse.

Right, they need close air support, infantry support, scouts, supply chain logistics etc. all working together to be peak effective. If you just give some dudes an Abrams and a crash course in driving it and firing the main gun, they will be better off than the same crew of randos in a technical made out of a Toyota Tacoma, but they will still be vulnerable to modern threats.

It’s easy to understand why the modern drone threat is uniquely game-changing if you think of war like chess. Most advanced powers have now figured out that having a developed drone program is like giving yourself infinite pawns. You keep trading pawns for the opponents more valuable pieces. If Russia is able to spend a few thousand in drone hardware and explosives and destroy a multimillion dollar tank, they’ll make that trade any day.

Is that the most toxic instance? I got blocked or banned or whatever from hexbear for simply posting a slightly different opinion from whatever the current orthodoxy was there. Do curated echochamber communities really provide any value?

“Now gamers, before I give you your chat prompt response, I have to tell you about today’s sponsor, RAID SHADOW LEGENDS.”

Ironically the same stuck up bitches who are always virtue-posting about how green they are, (make damn sure the waiter knows they don’t want a straw in their drink, etc.) are the same people who insist on yearly Apple flagship refreshes so they get social affirmation.

I can attest it is very weird. The entire browser slows down on transition to full screen (lags like your machine has a virus or something) and introduces a buffer wheel of lag after the first 10 or so seconds of every video.

A significant amount of researchers seem to author these kinds of papers that sound great but then can’t be reliably reproduced, or are completely impractical in application. The NileRed video about his attempts to create the compressed wood “armor” was very illuminating to this point.

I’m sitting on an aging GTX 970. In no position to do a full new build but I wonder if it is worth taking a chance on one of these at that price point.

I mean, if you’re already criminal element, have no scruples and you have some resources to work with, why not cut out the middleman and develop your own botnet for generating fake Spotify listens?
