I noped out of arch during setup. It expected me to partition the drive for swap/os/usr. It’s not 1996, I’m not doing that today.

Not YKK?

Trump then issues an executive order that only Trump brand voting machines will be allowed.

Supreme Court response: “I’ll allow it.”

Banks are hacked too:

edit:

In one episode of Mr Robot, they setup a fake cell tower and steal sims to bypass the 2 factor authentication on the cell phone of the people they stole from.

This actually happens in the real world: https://apnews.com/article/fraud-identity-theft-fcc-wireless-providers-8df930f2983d589c4822bba53eedfc1b

Again no Zoom meetings about stealing the SIM in your cell phone.

And that person still needs approval and a four hour zoom call to push anything into a position where it can make a difference.

You don’t need approval when you are a criminal and have used exploits to gain root access to the company’s computers.

You think Aaron Swartz was on Zoom meetings to get approval before picking the lock to the network closet, hacking root and downloading all the University’s public research papers?

You think ShinyHunters are on Zoom meetings asking for approval? https://cybernews.com/security/software-11m-students-hacked-shinyhunters-attack/

This is you:

“No one can rob a bank. Think of the meetings needed to get HR to approve bringing a gun in the building.”

That’s management. The actual physical RFID card generator is on an employee’s Windows laptop with the password sticky noted on the screen.

As for perfumes, the Chanel No. 5 ad

That’s 1979.

(Couldn’t edit my post to add it.)

the Coca-Cola “Hilltop” ad

That was 1971.

Your memory is just nostalgia. They weren’t better. I’m partial to 1970’s commercials “Let’s get Mikey!, He’ll eat anything! He likes it!”

But they don’t hold a candle to the past 20 years of Superbowl ads.

2006 GEICO cavemen was so big they got a TV show!

It’s Donnie’s prize.

Given that they use an array of magnets that can rotate freely, it’s not “breaking” the law. At a distance the magnets are random and exert a force to lateral movement. Move the magnet array closer and the magnets align to the magnet below and the force changes.

It’s like saying a ball on a hill violates Amonton’s law. At the top of the hill you can push it easily. Push a little more such that it rolls down the hill and now in the valley of the hill you need more force to move it because pushing sideways means you are trying also push it uphill.

The magnets once flipped do not unflip when pulled back from the magnetic surface.

Given they are using an array of freely floating magnets it doesn’t seem like a big “breaking”. It’s possible to create normal mechanical systems that also “breaks” Amontons’ first law. For example, imagine a surface with an array of spring loaded pegs poking out of holes on a teflon surface. At light loads the object will have to slide against the pegs. But push a little harder and the pegs will push down into the holes of the surface and the object is now sliding on teflon.

Worldcom was gigantic and went bankrupt. Microsoft was so damaged that it took 15 years for its stock price to again reach its 1999 height.

That was what someone claimed but it isn’t true. Filenames are not accessible in an encrypted zip.

They not only look at your files but will decrypt any encrypted zip files to see what you have.

Yeah. Everyone was moving to CD-R.

I still feel the biggest clowns are those that didn’t vote to “send a message” because “Kamala needed to earn my vote.”

The OP said the Intel to Apple Silicon transition. That was after OS X. Nor was the earlier Mac OS a rewrite but adding a different GUI to Next step and calling it Mac OS X.

The idea of a rewrite is a newbie mistake. It is almost always wrong. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/

MacOS wasn’t rewritten, it was ported. It’s now bigger than before.

Linux has grown from 170k lines of code back when I used it to handle dns for 10k customers to 40 million lines today. It has never been “completely rewritten” . Is Linux a failure?

Imo MS has a need to keep Windows convoluted so as to stay one step ahead of cloners like Wine.

The security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.

There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.

I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.

It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.
