And for a counter-anecdatum, in my experience any girls/women that showed an interest in computers were given just as much attention as the males. It was simply much more rare to find one that actually cared.
A "witch hunt" doesn't mean there isn't a witch to find, it means that the mob is just as happy burning a witch as it is burning the innocent girl that happens to have a wart.
If we send somebody to Mars and are listening to their final screams of agony as they realize there was a conversion error between Metric and Imperial, are they dying right now or have they been dead for 13 minutes?
Of course, recognizing it may be difficult for people that aren't used to ripping apart their electronics, and I can pretty much guarantee you there won't be any official information up on how to locate it.
And then there's the question of whether the TV will even boot up if you remove it, or if you have to settle for removing the antenna.
Sure, maybe morally/ethically, but legally you can't just record any conversation you can slip a microphone into.
Especially when you then hit Slashdot proclaiming that none of it was accidental recording and you had full intent to commit those specific crimes repeatedly.
> I personally managed to never do stupid shit that happened to be a felony.
I guarantee that you have, especially if you do anything computer related.
Have you ever sat down at somebody's computer and tried to help them figure out why something on a remote site didn't work? CFAA violation if they were logged in with their own credentials. Unauthorized use of blahblahblah.
Now, go be a stupid kid doing stupid kid stuff in the legal minefield of the internet these days.
Slashdot Mirror
So are you arguing that we should ban alcohol again, or legalize PCP outside of motorized vehicles?
You were a little unclear.
I have never seen a single legible sentence from a YT auto-caption.
Cumulative hours of watching videos over my son's shoulder while he has the headphones on, and nothing but gibberish.
What attack surface do you imagine he's exposing that would make his choice of OS the greatest contributor to security?
Yeah, they've got their own TV shows.
Oprah's was even pretty popular for a while.
And for a counter-anecdatum, in my experience any girls/women that showed an interest in computers were given just as much attention as the males. It was simply much more rare to find one that actually cared.
Of course, his battery factory can probably find something to do with all those extra battery-making materials laying around if this falls through.
Does the light come on the controller, indicating that it's at least getting power from the USB cable?
Does using a paperclip to push the tiny button in the hole in the back of the controller reset it and allow it to connect?
The radiation's bad if you plan to ever hug the grandkids, but I'd be surprised if it had a large effect on something like a potato.
You're right that it's not definitive, of course, but I'd have expected the soil and atmosphere to be a larger issue than the radiation.
I would love having a robot do my job.
When can you get started?
What if I can't crack the encryption but I am capable of slipping in something to log your keystrokes?
A "witch hunt" doesn't mean there isn't a witch to find, it means that the mob is just as happy burning a witch as it is burning the innocent girl that happens to have a wart.

Is it illegal to load ransomware on my own computer?
Is this more illegal than installing something that will encrypt all the files without offering to decrypt them for money?
He also didn't list "Ransomware programmed on a Tuesday by a man named Dave that lives in a van under a bridge."
We obviously need a new law to cover this gap.
> Well, if you have a laptop 5 millimeter thick ... wouldn't you be happier?
No. I'd be incredibly unhappy with a 5 mm laptop because I wouldn't be able to take it anywhere without accidentally destroying it.
Unless you're tattooing a DNR on your forehead, you're really rolling the dice for a "partial recovery" anyway.
May as well have the doctors trying their best, and deal with what happens when it happens.
I'd assume because it's unlikely to affect you, and the gist of your argument seems to be that you don't care about unlikely things.
I can prove a negative.
Point a camera at the sky. A really fancy camera.
Eventually it will capture lightning, and you'll see that nobody is there to throw it.
We good?
Somewhere in there will be a wifi module.

Ethernet over HDMI.
> By your same logic, it would be fine for someone to claim that an invisible entity sits in the clouds and hurls lighting down
Sure, claim it.
Then somebody can look and tell you that no, you're wrong, and we can get back to discussing dark matter.
Sure, maybe morally/ethically, but legally you can't just record any conversation you can slip a microphone into.
Especially when you then hit Slashdot proclaiming that none of it was accidental recording and you had full intent to commit those specific crimes repeatedly.
It is "stupid shit" compared to the sentence he'll get for it.
He'd have been better off committing a violent crime.

May as well just execute this generation.
I think the consensus last time this came up was that hosts-level blocking was more effective because it prevented 0-days.
Somehow.
I was a little unclear on the specifics, but there were definitely a lot of posts that seemed to be in agreement on that point.
