I meant top management is in deep shit if their finical departments run low quality buggy accounting software not the staff. Or in this case post office branches run the buggy software. All in all, decentralized nature of post office system

I meant courts should've called in multiple expert witnesses and even computer forensics companies. This case looks like government or in this case courts colluded with British Post Office.

Fujitsu was all to blame, after all they created and maintained the software. It just blows my mind why would courts pursue the individuals and not the creator of the software, when they realized that this mess was widespread and not isolat

Yea management failed but wouldn't the most logical thing be to call in computer forensics experts and quality test the software, reverse engineering it and try to catch the bugs. This wasn't the classic case of financial fraud, t

I thought British legal system and computer forensics were serious but this case is just a travesty of justice.

Reminds me of a recent thing when PCgamer.com replaced Disqus with its own native comment system and wiped thousands of comments from their website.

Probably the next big thing will be Chinese GPUs that are the same quality as NVIDIA GPUs but at least 10-20% cheaper aaand we will have to wait for that maybe 5-10 years.

I thought he is all in for AR/VR; there is opportunity cost in investing billions in AI because those billions could be spent on AR/VR research hence his branding change from Facebook to Meta. But I guess Meta has so much cash on

Yea I know and some computers might not be connected to the internet but to some local network and tbh 99% of people won't install Russian or some ex-USSR language packs just to potentially protect from Russian made malware.

I'm not a reverse engineer or a white hacker but I like reading about it. Most of the malware is made for Windows OS because of the Windows' enormous market share. Majority of information about Windows malware I get from big compu

Is there a way to check which one is currently in use? There must be. So Russians are slacking on this one? Also they could check in which language are files and folders named or they could check timezone or something. Years ago I loved to

Yea sophisticated malware checks how many CPU cores PC has, how much hard drive space, some even check hardware temperature or if any debuggers are present. Windows malware got pretty sophisticated in the last 30 years.

That's a funny way to combat Russian made malware but I think Russian malware checks which keyboard language you are currently using and not which ones are in total present on your OS.

But that doesn't scale or it does, oldschool Facebook was like that before algorithmic feed took over. Enshittification is real.

Perhaps but I would argue that the most likely reason is genetics plus traumatic childhood. Manson had traumatic childhood; living on the streets, committing crime and spending half of his life in prison and in state institutions. When you

I also noticed fake buffering[0], it is disgusting but it seems like they are usually on their adblocker blocking spree for a few weeks and then they give up. Their goal is to annoy you not to unblock adblocker and watch ads but to make you
