Putin already has what Trump wants: lists of people who voted against him.

1. Have "AI" invent a problem

2. Have "AI" solve said problem

3. ???

4. Profit!

Can anyone help me figure out what Step 3 is?

Thanks for the heads-up!

Do you think we are looking at UEFI or Intel ME rootkit here?

I had an interesting case of a five-year-old laptop that I know they had previously used Ventoy on. After repairing the hardware and clean Win10 install, the BIOS update software (Windows executable) reported that the BIOS update was not necessary, even though it shows as several versions behind what's available on HP's website.

My expertise is mainly in hardware It's my understanding that with UEFI, we can't simply dump the BIOS with something like an SPI programmer and compare to a fresh BIOS image (which I don't have either because it's now rolled into a proprietary Win exe from HP anyway).

Tokamaks are hot these days, check them out!

I caught my son using Linux PC and Android tablet at the same time... he was just using the microphone in Gboard to learn to spell out what he wanted to put on his signs in Minecraft Java.

True story: Just the other day, I saw kids dancing to "I put my hand upon your hip, when I dip, you dip, we dip". That took me back 😅

We've heard him say, "I've never seen anything like it" dozens of times. One would think that at almost eighty years old and having travelled the world, he would have, at some point, seen something like it.

It's almost as if he can't see past his wallet.

Not many of us deserve any of this bullshit.

I wonder if this is similar to when weev & Goatse Security "hacked" AT&T by discovering that their website for managing iPad accounts was so poorly designed that you could just change the account number in the website's URL to access other people's accounts.

I'm hearing Also sprach Zarathustra but in Riker sour notes. 😂

If Trump wins, he will have finished what he is paid to do; he will step down and hand the presidency to Vance, the wannabe theocrat.

MAGA is a death cult. Arm yourselves against Trump's sycophants now.

Don't Mess With Our Kids

Sounds good, we won't mess with your kids and you won't mess with mine. That means we won't force our religions on each other's children via the public school system; and if my kids need "controversial" healthcare, you won't interfere. 😉

...and you have to be a Nintendo Switch Online member (or go to New York Nintendo Store) to even purchase it. Scalpers...

It collects sleep-tracking data for you (and Nintendo's partners) to view, like other devices in this price range and beyond.

Long COVID brain fog

Can we listen to The Mummies? Just don't turn the drive into a chase scene.

IIRC Samsung devices default to a Samsung web browser labelled "Internet". You wouldn't want to disable the "Internet", right?

iOS seems even more egregious, where it's internally using Safari no matter what browser you install, giving the illusion of choice.

A wet/dry vacuum with a little soapy water in it works wonders.

nmap's seeing the 1-9999 as the next argument (expecting an IP address). In -Pn, the n is a placeholder for the port numbers you want to scan, so you want -P1-9999

"We" do exert some control over the weather, in the long term.

She just admitted to believing in climate change.
