As a big fan of Teardown; seeing what happened after Saber bought Tuxedo Labs, I’m not holding my breath for this one.

The tap water here is pretty nasty, we do have a water filtering pitcher though and it does a bang up job so still no need for bottled water.

Yeah! Been to this cave and we stopped by the dinosaur place while we were there since it was just too tempting. Fun little diversion and the statues are… They’re something all right lmao

Need therapy.

For what it’s worth my i9-13900 was experiencing serious instability issues. Disabling turbo helped a lot but Intel offered to replace it under warranty and I’m going through that now. Customer support on the issue seems to be pretty good from my experience.

Such a fucking vile thing to read while starting my morning

Oldest by release is my NES which I got recently as a sort of gift sort of “Well I’m not using it” from a family member.

Oldest in terms of owned by me the longest is my SNES which I got for Christmas when I was about 8-10 along with a CRT, I remember that Christmas quite fondly.

I don’t find myself often going through the effort to play my retro consoles anymore with projects taking up a lot of my time. If I had the time, however, I’d happily use the consoles over emulating, which I do frequently.

Thanks for the tip!!

Oh the joys of my apartment AC breaking

So you have a product that you’ve made into a system for getting answers. And then you couldn’t be bothered to try and sanitize training data enough to get your answer system’s new headline feature from spreading blatantly incorrect information? If it doesn’t work, maybe don’t ship it.

Seen a concerningly large amount of companies calling things they don’t like “unconstitutional” lately.

Heyyyy I know about the Noid!

You had me until the very last sentence.

It’s so easy to think that it can’t happen to you. Then it happens. Happened to me, happened to cyber security majors at my college. I’m so glad he got the channel back. I love Son of a Glitch and seeing now that YouTube casually didn’t recommend his videos for months just means I’ve got more to binge I guess!

I’m not saying incomprehensible build scripts are good here, my mistake for making it seem that way. I’m not confident that hiding it elsewhere would have been strictly more obvious but it absolutely could have been.

I’ve done some pretty complex C projects and haven’t had build scripts nearly that large. This one seems particularly unwieldy and certainly helped the attacker.

I’m going to be honest, I’m getting a little tired of hearing everyone’s thoughts on the xz backdoor. It’s discouraging and sucks when every detail of the project which, keep in mind, was maintained by one person who fell victim to a social engineering attack, is scrutinized. It makes me concerned about anyone depending on any of my projects.

Especially the comments on things such as the build scripts, which this kind of article seems to gravitate towards. If the build scripts were tiny and checked then the attack vector would have just been different, I’m not even too sure the language mattered. The attack was social engineering, after that it was pretty much project agnostic. xz was targeted cause the maintainer was done working on it and it was heavily depended on.

Had to re-read the title more times than I’d like to admit to recognize that “sick” didn’t mean the flowers were really awesome.

Never actually heard anyone exclude the hour, it’s always “half past 3”, “quarter to 8”, “5 till 6”, etc

I’d use Desktop if it worked, unfortunately recently it decided that I don’t have read/write access to a repo I’m working on. Works fine in git CLI so idk what the problem there is.

I’ll take a bike over a car any day, but for people who were going to drive? An electric vehicle will save oil usage over an ICE one.
