  • i dont new cop shows can match these, as they are just mostly copaganda.

    I don't mean to come off overly snarky, but you don't think any of the original L&O shows weren't, do you? Penis Lupus is one of the biggest cop dick riders out there.

    Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy vintage SVU/CI, but those were absolutely copaganda. Stabler alone is a poster boy for it with how much shit he gets away with.

  • 75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are Why

  • The minima at 2009-2010 is absurdly clear though. You undid 20 years of progress in about 10 years. I’m honestly shocked - what happened in 2009 to cause this?

    Dumb as fuck EPA emissions standards

    But the US Department of Transportation was concerned that smaller vehicles are less safe in the event of an accident, and this department oversees Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards. Hence, the agency discouraged manufacturers from reducing vehicle size to meet the standards by ensuring that the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards require higher fuel economy for smaller vehicles than for larger vehicles.

    ...

    Since the adoption of size-based standards in 2012, new vehicles have been getting larger, and sales have shifted from cars to light trucks. Between 2011 and 2022, the average vehicle footprint (roughly, the area defined by the four wheels) increased by about 4 percent, and the share of cars in total sales dropped from about 65 percent to 40 percent. In the GHG standards that EPA proposed in April this year, the agency notes that the increasing size and shift from cars to trucks has increased average emissions rates by about 10 percent.

  • Hell, I'd love to see them try their hand at an explanation before the AI text vomit. As long as it's mostly readable, I'd rather it be a bit stilted but honest rather than this crap.

  • AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable

    Jump

  • FYI, the cold boot attack is only viable for a handful of seconds before your memory decays enough for it to be worthless for that attack.

    Powering your system down yourself prevents this. Just make sure your system doesn't have fastboot enabled or hibernates instead of a true power off.

  • AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable

    Jump

  • Isn't that attack only viable within minutes of a machine being powered down?

    Not even, try seconds at most.

    All things considered, a cold boot attack is only remotely feasible if the system is powered on when the attack begins. If it's powered off for any length of time, your memory will have decayed past the point of it being usable for the attack.

  • Yep! I may not have been explicit enough, but yeah, the 5.6M troops is solely for peacekeeping, none of the ancillary work that has to be done in order to keep materiel flowing to where it's needed.

  • AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable

    Jump

  • That actually is correct, because if you power your system down ahead of time, this attack is meaningless since there is only a VERY short window where this attack works. From your link:

    Attackers execute cold boot attacks by forcefully and abruptly rebooting a target machine and then booting a pre-installed operating system from a USB flash drive, CD-ROM or over the network.

    If your attacker only has your cold machine that's been off since well before you hit the checkpoint, they can't do shit with that attack. At best they can boot the system up to verify your system operates as intended, but you don't have to provide any of the credentials to finish booting or unlock the TPM to load the key material into memory.

  • It would be a massive shit show and would collapse rather quickly. Aside from how we've seen them 'contain' places like Portland, showing they don't have the skills they'd need to do it on a small scale, they literally don't have the manpower. From The Military Journal of Operations:

    In the Winter 1995 edition of Parameters, James Quinlivan wrote an article (‘Force Requirements in Stability Operations’) arguing that force ratios are the best method for determining the appropriate force requirement. Quinlivan determined that a force ratio of 20 troops per 1,000 of the population is required for successful stabilization, which he defined as “[creating] an environment orderly enough that most routine civil functions could be carried out.”[ii] While Quinlivan’s study included peaceful post-war occupations, counterinsurgencies, stabilization, humanitarian and peacekeeping operations, he was the first to advocate that force ratios based on a country’s population were the best predictor for a successful stability operation.

    For a population the size of the US at (rounding up to) 350M people, that requires 7M troops. Even dropping the 20% of people who don't live in or around big cities, you're still looking at 5.6M troops, and a fuckload of uncontrolled / uncontrollable land perfect for counter insurgency tactics. Given that the us has about 2.12M active and reserve troops, they'd have to more than double their ranks to be able to stand a chance at containing the urban areas of the US, and that's not counting anything else they need to do.
