  • The problem with just deleting half of the living people is it does nothing to curb the systems that brought the planet to ecological collapse. In such a scenario people would almost definitely fill the void left with even more excess since there's now more breathing room and resources to use excessively. It would not take long, probably less than a century to return to the exact same situation such a magical solution was used to solve

  • I'd say the other part of it is around age 30 is when sustained unhealthy lifestyle choices can start biting. It's not when they kill you, but it's when life starts to give you those warning signs that you should probably do something about that before it gets worse

  • Don't forget iPods were this big back when the iPhone was released:

    And as others pointed out they had the iMac and iBook and iTunes and the iMac was full of more iNames that I can't even think of right now. It fit their branding enough that SNL did a joke about iRan and iRack

  • Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

  • Yeah GDID works the same in a VM as it does on hardware. It's actually easier to see in action on a VM:

    1. Create a Windows desktop VM
    2. Copy the VM
    3. Create a Window server VM and promote it to being an AD Domain in a new forest
    4. Try to join both copied VMs to the AD Domain. You can't join the second one because the GDID is the same, and you'll literally have to do a reset to get a new GDID for your VM

    This was the most annoying part of messing with AD in college was running through the windows setup repeatedly because that's the only way to get more than one client VM for your virtual Windows network

  • This article is super vague about this as well. How does Microsoft not only have the GDID->IP link, but they have Web history as well? Are they just exposing all this through advertising telemetry?

    My interpretation was that they had an IP that they suspected was the perp's home network, and subpoena'd some major platforms to confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt. Given the perp's sloppiness in using the same machine for both personal and illicit computing activities, they could even have some network traffic in the capture to indicate which platforms they should subpoena

    Or if we want to be more conspiracy-minded, maybe they installed a trojan on his computer and this is the parallel evidence trail that law enforcement created so they don't have to admit to hacking the hackers

  • In any other context I'd agree with you, but hacking is the one context where you really do want to do things the hard way. Use ephemeral VMs with passwords only saved in your head, have a dedicated machine for your illegal activities to help isolate your real identity from your hacking.

    Honestly even if you're just doing HackTheBox and similar best practice is to spin up a Kali VM and only use that VM for the activity since you're literally connecting to a network with a bunch of hackers, even though what you're doing is entirely above the board

  • If you don’t mind the penalty for early withdrawal then I guess it’s fine, but I thought some make you forfeit the interest accrued?

    I believe this is correct. Personally I keep half of my emergency fund in my HYSA and the other half in CDs, with the thinking being that 95% of the time I won't have to touch any of it, then in a big enough emergency I'll have the funds in the HYSA, my checking buffer and my (traditional) savings buffer to lean on first while I sort out the financial specifics for the rest of the emergency. And the extra couple hundred bucks a year the CDs earn over the HYSE should make up for any losses if I do ever have to break one early

    Any emergency that costs enough to hit the HYSE is going to be the kind of emergency where you can take the time to figure out the best financial path forwards, maybe even negotiate totals or buy time with a good faith partial payment

  • They’re perfect for emergency savings funds because there’s no restrictions on withdrawals like with a CD.

    It's funny you say that! I've started putting some of my emergency fund into CDs. It's just a $20 fee to withdraw early, and its more than $20 in extra interest compared to the HYSA by having it in a CD so it maths out

  • There are Money Market and similar accounts which act like checking accounts but have interest rates like high yield savings accounts. They typically have a minimum balance of like $5k or more so if you have a large sum of money flowing through the account each month you can still get the yields but an unexpected pileup of bills out of order doesn't cause declined transactions

  • I won $40 on a slot machine and also wondered why people thought it's fun

    Edit to add a fun story: I went to a concert at a casino. It was a known metal band performing 70s and 80s rock music that inspired them, and most of the folks were there for the big name metal band. You have to walk through the casino to get to the space where the performance is so basically all of the concert goes just walked right past the slot machines and card tables and straight into the concert around 9ish, and then straight out around midnight.

    Lemme tell you the old ladies getting off the retirement home bus at midnight to spend the early morning with the one-armed-bandit and the other old ladies sitting at the slot machines gave us concert goers the dirtiest most judgemental looks imaginable. I was a young adult and it took me a bit to realize how rediculous it was for the ones being miserable while gambling away their life savings in the middle of the night thought us concert goers who spent $50 to go spend a few hours seeing some awesome live music and walking out with shit eating grins on our faces were the ones making poor life choices

  • pay stupid prices to go watch

    As a non-sports fan, my very first football game was in box seats that we won tickets to. The whole experience was brilliant. It was just a constant party the entire day, and it helps that this stadium is basically in the middle of a residential neighborhood 10/10 would absolutely drive for hours in game day traffic and sit in the open air stadium in January when it's below zero out for that vibe again

  • Ehhh depends on the exercise and your goals. If you biked 5 miles to get the ice cream and now are biking 5 miles home you definitely have enough calorie deficit for the day that the ice cream is inconsequential. But if your goal is to lose weight, filling your calorie deficits from excercise with treats isn't very productive at all

  • For me it was estimation that unlocked the magic of mathematics. What's the fastest way you can get close enough to the correct answer that the innaccuracy doesn't matter?

    For example, in salary negotions if you need to convert between hourly and annual salary take the annual value, drop 3 zeros and divide in two and you have the hourly. Or in reverse, take the hourly, multiply by 2 and add 3 zeros for the annual. It gets you close enough that you can know you're talking about for salary negotiations, budgeting, etc. and you can let the computer calculate out the exact conversion for payroll and tax withholding purposes
