  • Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until now

    Jump

  • Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.

    Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn't hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.

    Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.

  • I loved that show.

    "Your white guy does all that stuff for you?"

    "Yeah. He's great."

    "Can we trade white guys?"

    Side splitting gags in the middle of a pretty solid message about how technology can systemicly abuse people.

    "Apparently if we continued with our hiring plan, we would end up employing the sum total of humanity, and I guess doing that is illegal in some of the countries Viridian operates in, so they had to give in and actually fix the problem."

  • Great job 👏 [Twonks]

  • How is this different from what anybody who hires or employs people do?

    Fun question.

    1. Most employees will someday no longer be day-one idiot employees. (conttasted with AI)
    2. Many managers take a class or something to know how to get results from their employees. (in contrast with many people given unlimited token allowances)
    3. Most employees are capable of a relationship and even loyalty, if any is merited. (in contrast with corporate AI API vendors who only want to extract wealth)

  • Nice!

  • Traffic Camera Captures Woman Driving With Her Phone on Her Lap (Face Down), The State Mailed Her a $1251 'Public Safety' Ticket

  • Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.

    Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(

  • Let's be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.

    Company is - you guessed it - Flock. (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed with a correction.)

  • I'll admit, mistakes were made

    "Captain, I believe the borg may be attempting to alter the past - to prevent themselves from ever encountering Dr. Cochran's music."

  • Recycling tragic accidents is just good policy, and necessary to preserve the ecosystem on visited planets.

    If we happen to get a few cloned bridge officers out of the bargain...that's just food fortune.

  • There's not an ounce of Cyan in Riker's body, but this thing still refuses to materialize without a new cartridge!

  • That's brilliant...and sick.

  • I honestly do not think it's even possible to spoil that film lol.

    There are charts that try, at least.

  • That happened to my great-great-grandson. I'm not sure if he ever found his way back.

  • I was going to push back on your point here, but then I couldn't think of a game that makes a good counterpoint.

    Before they enshitified all the sports games, I would have pushed back a bit and comparer running Windows for a specific game to emulating an Atari for nostalgia.

    But actually, the last good version of many of those sports games probably runs in Wine now anyway.

    One pushback - there's still community on some of those very shitty games. I understand people not wanting to leave their gamer group behind.

    Of course, my gamer group all moved to SteamDeck.
