It’ll be interesting to see how this looks. The same technology was used in Alien: Romulus to revive a younger Ian Holm’s likeness for Rook, and while it was a cool tech demo, it still felt quite uncanny valley and distracting to watch. Casting another actor might have been a better choice. At least for this project the tech sounds more relevant, in that they’re deaging and aging characters within the same film.

I remember installing a keylogger on the school library computers, then “accidentally” disconnecting the dialup internet and asking the teacher to type the login credentials again. I bet the ISP was confused when they saw so many concurrent logins after hours, all playing Quake and downloading huge files.

Sometimes the real value of a project isn’t its proposed worth, but the schadenfreude it offers instead. I’ve backed a few failed Kickstarters that I absolutely got my money’s worth on.

If you’re concerned about privacy I don’t know why you’d use Tailscale over Wireguard directly. The latter is slightly more fiddly to configure, but you only do it once and there’s no cloud middleman involved, just your devices talking directly to each other.

Clearly we’re going to need regulations around personal vehicle size limits on the road. If you legitimately need a big truck for your business, get a licence for it.

WhatsApp has been exploited before with a zero-day, check the Complaints section in this link:

The reality is WhatsApp and Signal will continue to be high-value targets for exploits given the number of users, cloud infrastructure reliance and promise of secure communications, so it’s a wise idea to avoid them for defence matters.

You know it’s bad when we’re having to invent new words like ‘polycrisis’ to succinctly describe what’s happening.

Nice, I hope YouTube is next.

I use Vista btw

I’m glad companies are continuing to innovate, but it feels wrong to be moving towards mechanical inventions again when we’ve finally nailed solid state tech. Have we forgotten how often printers used to break?

If the cost of implementing proper security is greater than the cost of the fallout from a serious vulnerability, I think we know how most companies will behave. Just take a look at Crowdstrike’s share price, it’s recovering nicely.

In addition, a lot of cybercrime involves social engineering as part of the attack vector. You can’t roll out a security patch for Karen from HR.

This article seems misleading. It uses the loaded Western term “selfie” to generate these images of different cultures smiling. If you use the term “group photo” instead, you get much more natural looking results, where certain cultures are smiling and others aren’t.

I’m not against these changes, but aren’t physical footy cards and other types of trading cards the original loot box aimed at kids? Or have companies successfully argued that they’re selling chewing gum and the cards are just freebies in the pack?

… are you including me in that or just everyone else?

Smells like something IDF unit 8200 might have been involved with.

To kill any competition and ensure they retain control over future standards. Money. It’s pretty straightforward.
