And it's even more plausible this is just a marketing play to build hype. Take, for example, you just made some new super-pathogen in your basement lab. It could kill everyone on the planet. This is obviously pretty dangerous, so do

Programmers being analogous to wizards or martial artists made more sense back when one used to need to train years or decades to become one. With age comes wisdom. There has been a lot of good that came from making coding more accessible;

Not at all. But don't tell me I'm entering an ecological dead zone right before some ecology attempts to eat me.

I always wondered how that warning made any sense when it was given about 5 seconds before a leviathan attempts to swallow your sub whole. Obviously the huge sea monster didn't get the memo.

I think the lack of understanding was why somebody who spent tens of thousands on what basically amounts to a kickstarter campaign for a new car is surprised when the new company folds and leaves their customers in a lurch. This probably wo

If you have the ability to update firmware, you have the ability to add remote access whenever you like. You're already trusting the vendor either way. That said, this current situation of an always-on SSH connection/backdoor is

It wasn't that long ago I tried to use an ATM only to find a WinCE error screen displayed on it. Scary stuff.

This used to work for me. I'm also fairly frugal by nature, so it was very easy to just not buy the stuff while grocery shopping. But then I got married, and had offspring. I don't do the majority of the shopping any more, and no

Hmmm, at first glance Tempest isn't currently compatible with CWOP. Edit: Nevermind. It looks like Tempest themselves sends the data to NOAA, so it's already taken care of. Nice.

I know trademark litigation is wishy-washy, but can she even claim her voice is unique enough to claim some form of infringement? If I just happen to sound like her, am I a walking infringement? Voices such as Shatner or Walken are at least

It is indeed disappointing, but I can also understand. Hit releases on Steam can easily rake in millions, and they're probably talking about an Ur Quan Masters type release where it's free on platforms. That said, they wouldn&#x27

It's one of those "the risk goes up the longer it's attached" type things. I can't find studies, but I presume it looks like a bell curve. I know there's also a much higher risk of contracting diseases if you c
