  That and he sabotaged Jesse Ventura’s attempt to unionize wrestling to get more money for himself. Given how incredibly abusive the company is to its performers, that’s not a small thing.

  Apple’s entire software design philosophy is god-awful. There’s only one way to do things and if you don’t like “The Apple Way”, fuck you. “It just works” only works for very basic normie stuff. If you try to do anything advanced, it most likely won’t work and it’ll give zero feedback as to why.

  Lemmy has 100k users and, more importantly, almost zero countermeasures against botting and influence ops. It would not be some huge undertaking to target this place.

  Azure is a very close second behind AWS and nearly twice the market share of GCP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You’d have to 3d print a head to defeat it.

  That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can force you to use your phone’s camera. Due to faceID, modern phones have fairly sophisticated cameras that can tell the difference between a static image and a 3d physical face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hackers Are Finding New Ways to Hide Malware in DNS Records⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When a remote code execution exploit is run, you often have a very limited payload you can deliver. Usually that means delivering a small downloader that then downloads and installs a backdoor from somewhere on the Internet

  The standard counter-measure to protect your servers is to block all outbound traffic unless it’s to a known safe destination. Downloading the secondary payload over DNS gets around that since you can’t just block DNS. Tools to protect against this or DNS tunneling are still relatively new, so a lot of people haven’t implemented them yet.

  To get the temperature probe data on your phone so that you don’t have to repeatedly get up to check it. It’s particularly useful for Turkey, because the difference between moist vs horribly dry white meat is only 5-10 degrees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Traeger makes pellet smokers. They have a hopper full of wood pellets and a micro controller that feeds in pellets to maintain a set temperature. You can get ones with a temperature probe to stick in the meat and let you know when it’s done, which is what the Wi-Fi is for.

  There’s a legit use case for them because they save a ton of time and effort over smoking the traditional way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s great for smoking though. I’ve done it the old fashioned way of staying up all night to feed wood into the smoker and I’ll gladly take the wifi-enabled pellet smoker with a temperature probe over it.

  The devs would probably prefer if their work for several years wasn’t thrown in the trash. It’s the publishers and suits killing games.

  Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.

  Alex Acosta was the prosecutor that gave Epstein a sweetheart deal the first time. Trump rewarded him by making him Secretary of Labor.

  Or buy a yubikey and set it up as a backup MFA on at least your email and password manager, then keep it in a fireproof safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans Want You to Die | Common Dreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is why I’ve always pushed back on the idea that Republicans care about profits over people. They care about enforcing the hierarchy first and foremost. They’ll sacrifice profits as long as it allows them to rub more shit into the face of the common man.

  I got recommended Asmongold several years ago before he got political. Dude was dumb as hell, had nothing of value to say and kept making the most annoyingly punchable faces. He’s always been utter trash.

  And real gorditas are nothing like the taco bell version. They’re more like an arepa or really thick tortilla split down the middle and stuffed with meat.

  Real world resistors usually have a tolerance of ±5%, so you’ll never get anything that precise.

  FIDO2 and security keys are the closest things we have to a solution. Unfortunately far too few companies support them. It would have saved him here because each credential only works on the proper URL for it.
