I have a masters in cybersecurity, and I see some people abbreviating is as CS sometimes, and it always bothers me. CS = Computer Science
- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 1 week ago:
That’s not a particularly realistic explanation
The USD index has weakened by 10% as a whole, but not relative to the JPY. It has held roughly steady against the yen for the past couple years, before which the yen had weakened significantly. USD to JPY is extremely high right now, compared to where it has been over the past 15 years
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 1 week ago:
So many companies are going to get burnt by it
I know people replacing basic tools with AI versions that are basically just running the simply tool and pretty printing the output
They’re only foing it because it’s basically free to run it through AI. That
whoisbut with aI is going to be so expensive when these companies enshittif-AI - Comment on Which way? 1 week ago:
I would highly recommend having it done professionally. It is a permanent change, and you don’t want to have it grow back incorrectly like this commenter
- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 2 weeks ago:
The article explicitly pointed out this extended security patching does not cover support
It’s easy to agree with Microsoft when you don’t bother reading the article and just make up a reason to support their decision

A key, exactly like they did it for decades? Same way they verified you paid forbthat copy of Windows?
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 2 weeks ago:
Because the local and state governments in those deserts keep promising them unlimited water for nearly free
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 3 weeks ago:
I’m finding AI effectively automates entry level jobs and interns. The long term implications is very few will be able to enter the field. What do we do when all the experienced engineers retire? How will we shift our economy to work for everyone under this model?
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 4 weeks ago:
Plenty of people got fucked over for America’s interstate system. You just don’t care about them because they’re poor minorities
- Comment on "Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION] 4 weeks ago:
yes devs are either super green or even mostly AI
Solely blaming the devs tells me you have no experience with Firebase security

That’s exactly what hacking is.
'90s hacking movies may have given you a different idea of what cybersecurity looks like, but this is what the real world is like
Also, Google deserves a scolding here. Firebase’s default configuration is absolutely atrocious. One of the few critical vulnerabilities I’ve seen where the system is working as intended. Dubbed the hospital gown vuknerability because they leave the backend wide open by default
- Comment on “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said 4 weeks ago:
How very socialist of him

- Comment on They even got their own island 4 weeks ago:
Are you seriously slut shaming a 14-year-old who was groomed by a 27-year-old? Using a sexist misconception no less?
That’s fucked up
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 5 weeks ago:
Mildly pedantic, but uBlock blocks the connection before it enters your network
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows 5 weeks ago:
They already make money hand-over-fist on Azure. Cloud computing is already quite expensive
- Comment on Driver who killed a father and injured his 6 year old son sent 44 Snapchat messages while driving 100km/h before fatal crash 5 weeks ago:
Considering he was driving while on bail, I doubt he’ll stop driving either way
- Comment on Gallium 5 weeks ago:
It’s a startup. He doesn’t get a golden parachute
- Comment on Gallium 5 weeks ago:
Turns out he was a CEO and that was his secretary (tail as old as time
No it wasn’t. She’s the CPO, Chief People Officer. Basically head of HR. Where did you get the idea she was a secretary?
- Comment on Gallium 5 weeks ago:
That’s the CEO and CPO, not her friends. She was recently promoted, possibly related to things like this
She’s making tens of thousands more per year to be complicit. I’ve seen people do much worse for much less money
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 1 month ago:
For basic fact checking like this, it’s basically useless. You’d have to go look it up to verify anyway, so it’s just an extra step. There’s use cases for it, but this isn’t it

It worked for Wal-Mart
- Comment on YSK Texas Officials Feared Flood Risk to Youth Camps but Rejected Warning System 1 month ago:
$1 million to save all those lives is way too much. That’s almost 0.00025% of an Elon Musk
America, as a country, would sooner sacrifice a million children than tax a billionaire to support safety nets like flood warning systems
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 1 month ago:
I’ve been pouring hot grease in glass jars for decades without having one shatter. You’re severely overestimating the risks
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 1 month ago:
in the end, IT is by definition always something administrative rather than actually productive
Lol, what?
Might as well say mechanics are administrative too
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 1 month ago:
Out of tens of millions of children, that’s nothing. It was pure fear mongering
- Comment on Genius 1 month ago:
Half the candidates is 25-30. It would need to be at least $10 per drink for that profit number, and that’s only if he’s getting free electricity and drinks
- Comment on Uber Eats or something idk 1 month ago:
The costs of Doordash/Uber Eats gets socialized pretty heavily. Where I live, most restaurants just upped their prices 20-30% across the board to account for the DSP fees. Most of the time I’m ordering from Doordash, it’s genuinely cheaper than actually eating in the restaurant

- Comment on Minnesota Shooting Suspect Allegedly Used Data Broker Sites to Find Targets’ Addresses 2 months ago:
Anonymous data sources are largely a myth. The idea you can have large sets of data remain anonymous is unrealistic. Once you have enough data points, it’s easy to de-anonymize almost any individual
