If the end of times is coming I want to be there, naked, hammered drunk and out of my mind on blow standing atop the seven headed dragon of the end times as it burns everything down, buck sled and listening to Metallica. I don’t even really love Metallica but it would just fit the scene.

Wifi I general is just…

The only wifi capable device I have in my home is my phone. I don’t want it anything.

You’re looking at it from a business perspective which is valid but the resources available to the average person to prevent and / or mitigate a realm threat are virtually nonexistent.

Up until now it’s made no sense to target Joe Schmoe or his neighbours what happens when a state sponsored threat actor decides to burn it all down, or someone decides to start targeting the average person rn Massé with malicious ai?

It’s not a big deal on a case by case basis but almost no cybersecurity company will help out an individual unless they’re rich, the police are brain dead.

Why?

They’re also confusing the nazi human experiments with the Japanese unit 731.

Also are they saying that Hitler literally ushered Jews onto trains and escorted them to the death camps?

Like. He’s the most evil person in human history but I don’t think he was that hands on.

The laissez faire attitude most tech companies, non tech companies, and people, have towards cyber security is a ticking fucking time bomb.

This isn’t 1990. Everything relies on technology. I can’t help but feel that we are headed towards a clusterfuck the likes of which has never been seen before.

Cheese. They’re making cheese. Butt flavoured cheese.

Ah okay. Mixed that up. Thanks for the correction!

Hbo is Warner brothers. Which is owned by… the Comcast corporation ultimately? Iirc. Though I’m not 100% on that. And do not feel like looking it up.

Nuclear plants are a good thing overall.

Pal bad tho.

Krunklom announces he’s going to keep using Linux and to kiss his fucking asshole, gently, and delicately, after Krunklom has taken a shit, Microsoft.

With the caveat that I haven’t read how google is implementing this I can provide some high level context on how hashes work from a security perspective.

Anyone else feel free to correct anything I get wrong here.

So, once upon a time someone came up with something called md5 for encrypting things. This didn’t end up being a very effective way of encrypting files, but people did find that encrypting files this way was a great way to predictably create a value that would be unique to that specific file.

So if you take an md5 hash of a .txt files with “goat testicles” in it, called goats.txt, and someone sends you a file called goats.txt, you should be able to take an md5 hash of the file before opening it, and if they match up they’re the same file. If someone adds a “z” to the end of goats.txt the md5 hash will change so you’ll know it’s not the same file.

Don’t underestimate how stupid gen z is.

It’s so easy

While ulterior is probably a better way to say that alternative motive also makes sense given the context.

Use positive reinforcement and they’ll do whatever you want. Whatever. You. Want.

If you buy one of those then you’d better give up on ever sleeping with actual woman ever again.

If this one positive in this cesspool of a zeitgeist we are living in now then I’m pretty sure it’s that people don’t care so much if you say retarded anymore.
