"if we genuinely cared about U.S. data privacy and security"
If we genuinely cared about children safety and development; if we genuinely cared about people dignity and basic well-being (the charity folks), if we genuinely cared about..........
It's a series of hypocrisies that forms the country. And the US is not alone in it.
When you have large data sets this may be quite annoying. It should be the other way around, if you want Excel to treat stuff as dates then you tell it and it converts things otherwise it should treat cells with numbers as plain numbers and cells with text as text.
Ease of use (no software knowledge needed), mobility and affordability (decent graphics without spending thousands) are among reasons cited by console lovers I know. A lot of them stick to the console that fulfills their needs instead of aiming for exclusives. Myself included. Even though I own a powerful Ryzen 7/RTX rig I value having a console to move around and play with friends, my partner. I used to try and buy other consoles for my favorite franchises (ah Kratos you devil) but now I stick to the one with most diverse catalog/offers.
If a Steam console becomes a thing I may actually ditch all the rest.
I've resorted to file sharing again this year after not bothering for years. Not because I give a damn, I don't. I decided that if it isn't on my preferred service then it doesn't exist. But my family and my partner don't think that way. And I'm happy to help because the alternative is this exclusivity fuckery.
I like the idea of adding delays to transactions between sources owned by different people. In fact, adding delays, small or big, would solve problems in several areas.
I wonder if these accounts had 2-factor-auth enabled and if yes then how did the attacker managed to work around it. I'm assuming they had it enabled and that the attackers managed to get the token that keeps apps connected to the service or something similar. Any info circulating about this?
I'll rule this as an exception much like the sarcastic tone of the article did. But Floyd was just one of these types getting so full of himself that he actually gone and slaughtered a black person just because. By the frequency it happens it would not be "let's get rid of the bad apples" but rather "throw the entire basket out because there are too many bad apples to save anything".
I think transparency is key. Even if they err it's ok as long as they keep it visible and provide means to revert such errors. As Mike pointed moderation at scale is impossible to do perfectly. But perfect is the enemy of reasonably good.
A court shouldn't be needed to state the obvious. But it will keep having to as long as law enforcement keeps thinking they are above the law. The most important law in this matter, the Constitution. Those defund police movements are wrong in one aspect, cops need more budget to teach basic law to their ranks.
I'm amazed on how American, specifically at the R side keep swallowing the bullshit pill every time to the point even a "3rd-world-shithole" has better, cheaper broadband than Great America (tm).
I decided to give some stores other than steam a try epic being one of them because of those free deals and... Steam is light years ahead in many areas including reliability and usability. Which reminds us of why people ditched (for some time at least) piracy for streaming: it's a service issue.
Personally I'll stick to Steam for my major acquisitions. And I really only tried them because it was either incredibly cheap (all 3 Mass Effect for $6, really?) or free.
Should be simple: vote via paper, feed the paper into a reader, confirm it registered the same info then use the digital regitry to get the results faster. Then count the paper as well without any hurry.
I'm not sure ATT end will open any doors for competition. Instead another giant corp will just absorb its assets and keep being assholes. Natural monopolies paired with crony capitalism you know.
I'm not sure if it's the case but this seems the standard operational mode for "conservatives". More authoritarianism and money to their friends.
Sadly when the opposition reaches power they seem to forget this and enact mechanisms that most certainly will be abused by said conservatives (see Democrats in the US).

This as well. If it converts to date it's actually saving as a number.
