Buy a proper camera. Your memories will be a lot higher quality and you'll go from creepy guy uploading toddler footage for Zuck to watch to someone who loves their kid enough to run a real camera.

Microsoft chose to run a shoddy bounty program. The researcher tried to do the right thing. Microsoft could have prevented this. They were warned. It's their own fault. The exploit exists whether or not the researcher reports it. They

Language is consumed by people, not machines. You don't have to speak like a lawyer. There is no intersex person waiting to jump out and yell accusatory things at you because you didn't include sufficient asterisks or you said sta

That tweet is from yesterday. Iran tweets about taking down an American jet basically daily. By their count we are down 40 f-35s, 4 aircraft carriers and thousands of MQ-9s.

4Chan has blocked the entire UK IP range. They do not host any infrastructure there. They are bound by UK law exactly as much as they are bound by Venutian or Mars law.

4chan's lawyer, who has been engaging with this well since the beginning, has clearly advised his clients, who have no intent of ever going to the UK, to not go there. In addition, Ofcom does not have the ability to collect them throug

There are millions of people who are obese - not just fat - primarily from fruits. Those people have a history of obesity preceeding modern processed foods, and it's because they have very dense fruits (and starches) available to them

Can age assurance be done privately and anonymously? Absolutely. But the entire point of age laws is to stifle free speech and ruin privacy. Thus why every age law requires uploading an ID. If it was just age, just require a credit charge o
