Take a look at how chickens/farmed animals in general are housed before before being "processed". Turns out it's cheaper to pump the animals full of antibiotics and wash the resulting meat with chemicals afterwards than

In cybersecurity, and in the attribution of cyberattacks especially, nation-state actor is a very specific technical word. Words mean different things in different fields, and in this case the word is very clear and obvious in conveying w

I think you misunderstand the use of nation-state in the context of threat actors then. It simply means government backed, as opposed to a private entity like a ransomware gang or NSO Group. Splitting hairs about nationalities is irrelevant

What do you mean by this? Is it because they didn't explicitly say "The Russian Federation"? Because we both know that's exactly what they meant, and that it is most certainly a nation-state.

Words change, and when society uses certain words changes. In a vacuum the phrase "conspiracy theory" would apply to a theory about the existence of a conspiracy. Now it means "fictitious myth that crazy/irrational peopl

Do you not hear how privileged this sounds? You're lucky enough to have employer-provided healthcare. Even more, it's actually good . Many people don't have either. So yeah, the status quo is great for fortunate you and I&#x

I feel that there is an often unasked question when it comes to discussions about the existence of god. So what? What if he does exist? Why does it automatically follow that we should worship him, pray to him, live our lives for him, etc? W

Yes, but they are interchangeable within a single slot. So you're never locked into one type of port. One day you need an SD card reader, the next you need an Ethernet port. Just swap them out.

A big part of it is not just hardware based security, it's virtualization based security (VBS). Essentially adding a hypervisor layer under Windows that manages access to sensitive processes like lsass, which handles credential materia

From what I've seen/read, it seems like many serial killers have a consistent urge/voices telling them/impulse to kill that they are able to resist for a time, lose control, kill, and then repeat the cycle.

Incredibly uninformed takes about how things work, such as this, is why conspiracy theorists get dunked on all the time. Could they have wiped FB off the internet in order to "cover their tracks"? Sure. Is it a verifiable fact tha

It's because Windows uses the concept of subsystems for lots of pieces of its architecture. If you look at a process listing, you'll see lots of processes named "*ss.exe", where the "ss" stands for subsystem, l

No offense, but you're really showing your ignorance of healthcare and COVID severe enough to seek hospitalization.

I assume they're getting those numbers from hospitals themselves, who see FAR more unvaccinated patients than vaccinated. Which really tells you everything you need to know about the vaccine and getting vaccinated. Sure, having a concr

Yes, but the analogy here is making it illegal to give or donate the book once you'd already bought it. There is no other way to transmit electronic data other than copy it. You can't even access it without copying it, under norma

It is insane to me that someone can get up to 5 years or more for using one of the fundamental mechanisms of digital technology. If you put out a product on a medium whose design is fundamentally based on copying bits , I don't know h

As far as I know the TPM is not a true hard requirement for installation. I'm pretty sure there are some tweaks you can make to the install ISO that will bypass this.

You realize that the way other diseases were eradicated required the cooperation of everyone on earth? Or at least in most countries. The reason we don't get polio in virtually any country on earth is because of global cooperation in
