Where major dependency is everything that even indirectly touches network. Doesn't really matter if the thing that gives everyone access to your systems is major or not.

Firewalls in the majority of cases don't get you much. Yes it's a last line of defense if you do something really stupid and don't even know where or what you configure your services to listen on, but if you don't the di

Depends on your definition of "well". I hate that writing style. It's the same writing style that people who want to sell you something use and it seems to be really good at tiring the reader out - or at least me. It gives a

A lot of them are bullshit jobs though. We've yet to see "AI" do anything actually beneficial. I don't mean the stuff that was done before the AI hype like categorizing bacteria, etc. Watch the news. One crisis after ano

I think this is very silly. I dislike the whole AI hype as much as any other. But by that standard you could also ask "Should Photoshop also pay taxes?" or "Should printers also pay taxes?" If we are oh so productive tha

That has been a long way coming. Only a couple of months ago I was looking at alternatives and "Arduino compatible" products. The reason being simply that so many "for fun projects" are built with it and I wondered what

Super silly question maybe but what is the benefit of just using something along the lines of a word document?

You miss something critical here. For that to happen that GenAI would have had to be trained on another "Ghibli". So your question isn't whether Ghibli had an AI, but whether Ghibli had a whole time traveling machine with it.

I think laws that you grew up with are a lot easier to accept until there is a major shift (civil war, etc.).

Something that is way worse today in my opinion is that back then everyone has nicknames, talks even for deep topics somewhat generically. Nowadays everyone wants you to put your real name, expects a real photo of you, track every step you

Yes and no. I agree the only thing that can be reliable is server side. However that means that anything based on reaction times and such is impossible to protect against (under reasonable conditions). At the end of the day you can always h

Well, that's just silly. Hook up a Raspberry Pi as your keyboard, mouse input and video output and all the anti-cheat fails. Same (largely) for VMs, same for many emulators. And if nothing works you can always build a robot pushing mou

You are looking completely wrong at this. There is no anti-cheat that cannot be bypassed. Period. You can always run things in a VM, you can always replace your keyboard and mouse with a different device, you can always have your a camera i

Yes, so what you do is you run `freebsd-update fetch` then `freebsd-update install` or if you switch a minor version you do freebsd-update upgrade -r MAJOR.MINOR` and do the same. Minor release upgrades are not the breaking kind. ABI, etc.

To be fair I think if there is any kinda okay use of GenAI is being able to get some images and such without needing the money to hire an artist. Maybe that allows for way more niche games. In other words: It's the whole package. If I

I agree. I think the comments about how "it is fine, because so many things had to fail" do not apply in this case. It's not that many things had to fail, it's that many things that are obvious haven't been done. It
