I haven’t done recent comparisons, maybe it has gotten better these days. I use Ubuntu LTS, so I’ll have a good opportunity for before/after benchmarking this April.
Fingerprint reader: that thing looks at me every day, obscenely suggesting I boot up Windows instead of Linux so I can stroke it gently and login conveniently.
Oh, also battery life. Windows always has managed to extract more uptime from a single charge in my laptop.
A fucking tortilla gives you enough energy to run for half an hour, we’re crazy efficient compared to machines, but the machines just needed a plentiful energy source and it wouldn’t matter that much. Yeah, the original brain computing made a lot more sense:
I can see many people could sloth their life away, specially during the transition, but other many will pursue their hobbies, passionately tackle things we deem unprofitable, or just find a job anyway because they want more money.
UBI is meant to be a safety net so no one falls in poverty, not a sum that allows people to live lavishly forever. At least not until the machines generate enough money for that.
Tepache. It’s a Mexican fermented drink made with pineapple peels, piloncillo, and a few spices. It’s delicious, refreshing, and super cheap… well, until some entrepreneur eventually discovers it and makes it ultra processed and expensive.
I’d guess a true telepath would easily read your internal monologue even if it wasn’t strictly verbal. He shouldn’t not be limited to the language center of the brain, IMO telepathy so specialized would be a stretch if it was a natural gift.
I’d guess the former, given it’s tiny compared to normal droppers, but you can never be sure these days.
This sample is a multi-platform 'polyglot' binary acting as a dropper and potentially a browser-based exploit. It functions as a Windows PE (with no standard imports, suggesting custom shellcode or manual API resolution), a Linux shell script, and an HTML/JavaScript file. The Linux component contains a command ('tail -c+4294 $0 | lzma -dc > /tmp/a') that extracts and executes a hidden payload from its own body. The embedded JavaScript is obfuscated and uses 'eval' to execute dynamically generated code. This structure is typical of sophisticated malware or cross-platform exploit delivery kits.
ChatGPT, imagine a relatable two-panel meme taking into account the following comment:
“I prefer original memes because they have something real about them, and you can compare them to your own life situation, whereas artificial intelligence has no purpose or logic, just an endless number of meaningless memes that have no soul.😒”
Maybe not that obscure, but Joe Celko’s Nested Set Model gave me exactly what I needed when I learned of it: fast queries on seldom-changing hierarchical database records.
Updates are heavy, but the reads are incredibly light.
