Was thinking the same thing. “They’re building an AI so powerful I was scared and had to leave!”

Free publicity.

I read this as Cybercrab and was immediately disappointed

If the story didn’t get so convoluted, I might have stuck with it. I 100% cleared 1 and 2 and then there were so many remakes and spin off that were canon and continuing the story that I just lost interest when 3 came out 14 years after 2.

He thought he was so cool sitting on the folding chair just right to open it without using his hands just to get spurned.

Crêpes are actually pretty easy to make.

Just need flour, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter and whatever toppings you want. You have to past more attention than pancakes as they’re thinner and the batter needs to be moved about the pan a lot more. Doesn’t take long though.

That store is definitely making a profit, but nice of you to be kind to your friend!

Am I reading the thread correctly? This fuzzer found a “new” issue that was already identified in 2024? This matches what I’ve heard before about GenAI reporting known errors likely because they were trained on the internet as it’s data source.

China does as mentioned in the article. It sounds like they may have retained windows for compatibility reasons, but are no longer interested or there is no longer a need.

Full disclosure, I haven’t yet made the switch away from the official client yet, but you could give Wholphin a try for android TVs. It lists customization as a selling point.

A much easier and safer way to generate an anonymous email if you live in the EU is to use Posteo.

After you create an account, you get an account code. You can pay by mail with account info on a piece of paper. €1/month. Mail off some Euro, no returned address required.

Sounds like an excuse to carve a new wooden handle.

Name and shame them

Damn. This looks great.

I put more points into my Wisdom stat.

The US has ports up its entire coastline to Maine and Washington State that don’t freeze over. Warm water is a Russian tell because their ports do freeze over for months at a time in winter.

But yes, they can be called ports, or docks, or even seaport like airport.

True “open source firmware” where you can inspect and modify everything on a network card is going to be rare if they exist. However, Linux has mature open source drivers that interface with the hardware for consideration and the output can be monitored at a gateway/router.

These strawman arguements aside, I think the author’s point is that the purpose of this tool is for privacy of network connections and as such deserves scrutiny.

To your point, open source does not equal secure. We still have to trust that someone more familiar and with interest has reviewed the code and humans can still err.

The author provides links to an open solution that has already existed (albeit not as polished) and explains his other solution blocking at a DNS level.

The problem with a black box network monitoring and blocking solution is we have no clue if there are rules we are unaware of or if all information is being provided in earnest. Ultimately this tool is hosted by a business selling other privacy conscious applications. I know If you’re good at what you do, don’t give it away for free.

Ultimately, everyone is free to choose their own solution but the article cautions of the hype that’s emerging around this tool when other solutions have existed that are more transparent.
