The folks who found it are presenting at Defcon this weekend, according to the article.

I imagine some of the industry press (i.e. Wired) are just looking through the Defcon agenda to figure out what to write. I saw two or three other articles about hacks or exploits and things like that that also mentioned it was bring presented at Defcon.

Your comment is really useless. I support the cause of free speech, but there is absolutely no need for what you said. I think this community is meant for discussions that are meaningful

Everyone who downvoted me didnt read the article, or didnt read what i said, or didnt read op, or something, i dont remember what they didnt read but they cannot be real because the only way to disagree with me is to not have read something or other (or did read it, cant remember which)

I read the fun blogpost that is not an academic paper and ive downvoted you. Does that mean i dont actually exist or that u dont actually exist???

Inside me there are two wolves, one that thinks “gamer” stuff is stupid, and another that thinks this router looks sweet as hell.

Im very amused at it being in word rather than .xlsx or .txt, like them going out if their way to make it worse because word is all they know.

I imagine that this incident will come up in the Apple antitrust case that the US Department of Justice has brought.

Do you have any sources that go into this? Nothing comes up in my cursory searching…

I may finally get around to switching the main machine if this is the case

I started out using certbot, but once i needed a reverse proxy i found caddy. I was confused at first at how to set up the certificates for caddy, but it told me it would just work and my sites have the https and the little lock, so i guess it is just magic!

Have found caddy to be generally easy. I think first starting with it took a bit more to figure out, but it does work well

Pretty well lit for a shadowy place.

But holy shit those ergonomics. The desk is at their shoulders…

I think the idea/joke is that the police are effectively privatized by being privately funded and carring out the rules of their funders.

Yes

If im drunk in someone elses tesla and i shit myself, im leaving the drawers in the car. Im not walking around in that.

Would be a bit more like “i consider myself a Christian, not because i follow the mainstream conception of Christianity but because i read what Jesus himself said and agree with it.”

At least some of these tools change their “user agent” to be whatever google’s crawler is.

When you browse in, say, Firefox, one of the headers that firefox sends to the website is “I am using Firefox” which might affect how the website should display to you or let the admin knkw they need firefox compatibility (or be used to fingerprint you…).

You can just lie on that, though. Some privacy tools will change it to Chrome, since that’s the most common.

Or, you say “i am the google web crawler”, which they let past the paywall so it can be added to google.

Every time I touch the mouse i get a little more elbow pain. Tendens or whatever. The keyboard (an ergonomic one, at least) is more ergonomic.

I think they call these “chords”

I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he’s got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.

The article doesnt talk about changing prices based on demand, it is about changing prices based on competitors’ prices.

And yea, if Target increased their prices when Amazon increased, then they would just all be higher. Then they could do it another round and another round until one of the companies decided they were at the limit.

If the two companies talked to each other about this, it would be illegal collusion. But instead they have code automate it without an explicit conversation, which may not be illegal but certainly makes our lives worse.
