So China ran a network sniffer and captured and reversed some 0day that the NSA lobbed at them? I'd be pretty surprised if this sort of thing didn't happen all the time in cyberwar, considering the NSA has a massive, worldwide sni

Keto is the absence of carbs. So the same diet that maintains keto at 250 will keep you in keto at 190, since it is what you eat, not how much you are eating. But you are absolutely correct that one must change their caloric intake as they

Currently I use PIA VPN when browsing. When I go to Cloudflare sites, I often get captchas because, in the past, I imagine someone was using PIA to abuse a Cloudflare site. So what happens when people start using Warp to hide their IP so th

You think giving the attention-seeking 13 year old uploader the ability to approve comments that praise her ability to lick a popsicle is a solution? These kids don't understand what is going on.

It's difficult to like if you don't live there. If you come from outside you first start by paying the obnoxious entry fee (toll) just to cross into it. Then there is zero free parking, and I've seen it as high as $50-$60 for
