Sadly Slashdot has become an aggregator for tech blogs and the average technical knowledge of tech blogs is the same as that of the average population.
Honestly it depends on how B & C are using it. In this particular case User C is using the image commercially and could be diminishing the value of the work (e.g. the photographer sells photos to media). On the other hand user B isn't using the image commercially and depending on how they used the image it could even be fair use.
The other fact to remember with User C is that their infringement is wilful, they should have a clear understanding of copyright and a policy for sourcing images. Despite this I constantly see major news media blatantly infringing by using arbitrary images from the internet. As a couple examples I saw Reuters use a crying man image from the movie Get Out as a stand-in for someone crying, and have seen CBC use the transparent 6-fingered hand from Fringe as a reference for fingerprints.
Should be noted that the bug requires that the attacker can write a DLL to your file system. So the user already needs to be downloading random DLLs, be a multi-user system or some other software needs to be exploited to write a DLL.
For a typical home PC this bug doesn't seem like a particularly problematic issue.
A huge swath of the populace have been convinced by Fox News and other sources that facts are opinions and suggesting to the user that something they want believe is untrustworthy is only going to help convince them that Google & al are part of some vast conspiracy against them.
There is an oft repeated statement that silicon valley press use when talking about the future of cars (probably repeating something they've heard from the automated driving / internet taxi services) - car ownership is inefficient as cars spend most of their time parked. While true on the surface, it overlooks a key factor - the majority of car usage happens at approximately the same time when people go to and return from work. This means any alternative to ownership needs to satisfy peak usage which returns back to most cars spending the majority of their time parked . The only solution to this is having peak users share the vehicles, in which case congratulations - you just invented the bus.
Here's a question, why shouldn't swatting be considered assault with a deadly weapon.
There are definitely big issues with how police deal with reports of crimes, recall also the swat team showing up recently at the home of someone with a phone mistakenly reported as stolen. A big issue is that for someone not a criminal and not currently engaged in a crime the police appearing is entirely unexpected and their brain isn't primed to process the situation and even realize commands are aimed at them.
Previously, the court clarified that under U.S. law the company can be held liable for caching content of copyright infringing websites. Cloudflare’s “infrastructure-level caching” cannot be seen as fair use, it ruled.
Seems pretty insane, this would suggest that ISP edge caching of unencrypted content is infringing, ditto for image search engines.
sounds like an article from 15-years ago from someone obsessed with Second Life. Makes one wonder how little qualifications are required to advise government officials.
The flaw in your argument is that most people already would go test drive at the closest lot, then contact a large number of nearby dealers seeking the best price.
So I rarely login, but I've never received a message a security message - most likely someone is either intentionally or accidentally attempting to log in as you. The other ones you can just unsubscribe from.
Automated cars still have trouble just driving down the road and avoiding stopped fire engines, do you really think they have the capability to understand the scenario they are in is dangerous and divert into a tree?
As such, Nuro believes cargo vehicles have a clearer, quicker path to profit than the 30 or so outfits that incorporate sentient beings who must emerge unscathed. “Passenger self-driving, to [these companies], is an existential threat; they have to get it right,” Ferguson said. “Whereas, for us, there are just some things we don’t need to worry about.”
Exactly what you want to hear - we don't have to car about people inside our car..... not like they won't be walking around or driving every other fucking vehicle on the road. This is every bit as dangerous as any other self-driving vehicle.

This is the equivalent of race car being shortened to race. It makes no sense.

their complaint is that its hard to use? Its fucking snapshat hard to use is the primary feature.
Its not like you couldn't have seen this coming, Canonical pioneered sending your search results to Amazon.

On only one side of the political spectrum have the news agencies effectively been PR for a political party.
This is whats known as a false equivalence, if you can't tell the difference you've drunk the koolaid.

Maybe fix chromecast first, its become increasingly buggy across all your products.
You could make a similar argument about a hitman...

The thing about CD pricing.... they are still cheaper than buying digital albums, especially if you try to buy high quality files.

Why not just use ublock origin and block Facebook domains on third-party requests.

Why do you think that an ASIC is worse than someone who has the inside access to GPUs or free / cheap electricity.

Depends, did executives trade stocks knowing they had this time bomb?
Best part
Its Gizmodo, what do you expect from a tech blog?
