  • A Sneaky Phish Just Grabbed my Mailchimp Mailing List

  • And this is how you handle responsible disclosure... 34 minutes for simply an e-mail list, no login details or private information.

  • They've explicitly acknowledge the overpromise in the part of NMS (And, thanks to the continuous, rolling, free and global updates to NMS, have more than delivered on everything they promised and then a load more that they didn't promise, including next-generation graphical updates, and entire new procedural generation systems that have added even more to the environment).

    They've gone above and beyond to deliver, I'd even hazard a guess that they've over-delivered as far as any bureaucratic or financial director is concerned. They're working full-time on NMS nearly 10 years on from release! They've done enough to warrant a modicum of trust.

    I'm not pre-ordering, but I'll be watching with interest, and will likely buy on day-one.

  • How to solve Russia's lack of warm water ports

  • Hell yes! I grew up with that (In the UK), it was one of the first books I read (And series I watched) in the 80's/90's... introducing my daughter now to them.

    12 Trials is still something I quote to my wife at times... "You are a wild boar, a wild boar" :D

    Jump

  • After the turn of the century,In the clear blue skies over Germany,Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard, Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird...

    Up in the sky, a man in a plane,Baron von Richtofen was his name,Eighty men tried, and eighty men died,Now, they're buried together on the country side...

    In the nick of time, a hero arose,A funny lookin' dog with a big black nose,He flew in to the sky to seek revenge,But the Baron shot him down...

  • Actually, MythBusters proved that one couldn't happen, unless the bullets were sub-sonic or low-powered and the diver was within 1 or 2 foot of the surface... water's just too dense and depletes the power. And something higher power just made a big splash and bits of shrapnel that didn't have much penetrating power.

    Funny... that's a phone number I know.

  • I went with floorp, because it allowed native title bar disabling, with task bar editing so I could inject a grab handle; vertical tabs in sidebery, and a clean, nearly-ui-free vertical.

  • I've nothing against the page having more technical farther down the page... I've done that with some computing articles that I'm qualified to talk about - simplify the description for the layman, put the technical description underneath...

    Math nerds just don't.

  • Chinese researchers break RSA encryption with a quantum computer

    Jump

  • There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. Sure, they broke 22-bit RSA encryption. But here's the thing - that's proof that a suitably large quantum computer can break any size RSA encryption in the same amount of time it took to break 22-bit RSA encryption.

    Because of the way the annealing process works, it's a known-time process, no matter how many inputs or q-bits are used. We don't have the ability to create a computer with sufficient q-bits to break anything more than 22-bit at the moment, but current estimates are that in 10 - 15 years we will have enough to break 1024-bit.

    And it'll take the same amount of time as this 22-bit process took.

    And that basically means we need new encryption processes within 10-15 years, that are quantum safe, or all our encryption is belong to whoever has these quantum computers.

  • MechWarrior 5: Clans - The Invasion Begins Now - launch trailer

    Jump

  • Got it on GamePass yesterday. It runs like a dog, and that's on a 10-700k with 64GB ram, 3070 and a Sabrent Rocket 4 nvme. Even dropping to 1080 and low still hovers around 30 - 40fps with random dropouts to <10fps in 'complex' areas. Given this system can run God of War at 4K Ultra (With DLSS Balanced) at 30fps, or Black Myth: Wukong at High at 50 - 60fps, I'm going to say it's not the system at fault...

    Wait for a few patches, the performance is currently not up to spec. Which is sad, because the introduction got me super hooked and I want to play more.

  • I'm academia? How about Wikipedia, an encyclopedia that should be written (at least at synopsis level) clearly and for the casual reader. However, anything mathematics related and... Fuck you, you don't know how to calculate an integral? Git gud, scrub.

  • Bitwarden, Dashlane, 1Password and others have joined together to make passkeys portable

    Jump

  • In one sentence, you say, "just use a password manager", on the next, "not really an improvement if you need extra software". I'm not sure what argument you're having, but neither one really addresses what this article is about.

    This keeps the passkeys in the password manager (I use dashlane, it rocks, and synchronises the passkeys just like the passwords), but this new protocol allows you to change and export the passkeys to other password managers, preventing vendor lock in and allowing for transfer to another password manager.

    Hope this clarifies things! And everyone should use a password manager of some kind; we should expect whatever site we're using to be hacked, and the only way to be safe is to have a unique password per site.

  • Traditional “Kibin” from Ukraine Tatar. Served with chicken stock.

  • Visually, at least on the outside, it looks something like a Stottie, Oggie or Pastie from the farming/mining areas of the UK. I always find it fascinating to see the convergent evolution of this sort of food - edible with one hand, hot and filling, with a crust that can be discarded if hands are filthy, or et if not.

  • [Cory Doctorow] With An Audacious Plan To Halt The Internet’s Enshittification And Throw It Into Reverse

    Jump

  • It was a term coined to describe the step-by-step process modern tech platforms go through:

    1. be good, get customers, grow
    2. get large enough to corner market, concentrate on profits
    3. get large enough to move to politicise their approach, drive out competition through aggressive tactics, and lock in consumers
    4. drive more profit through dark patterns and ensure nobody wins but the stakeholders

    It's specifically that, and there wasn't a word that described that process previously, as it's only something that's possible in a modern, "web scale" worldwide platform.
