  • Head and hands found in Colorado freezer belong to 16-year-old girl last seen in 2005

    Jump

  • Not that there isn't a lot of creepiness going on with this in general, but it wouldn't be crazy to remodel without emptying a freezer. Assuming they weren't on top of the rest of the food, stuff in the bottom of a freezer can easily be overlooked for years

  • Tornado spotted off I-75 as conditions deteriorate in Milton's approach

  • Hey, where's all the water going all of the sudden?

  • Tornado spotted off I-75 as conditions deteriorate in Milton's approach

    Jump

  • This picture of the apparent tornado, with alleged clouds and, i guess, some type of 'land' was captured with what has been reported to be a camera of some sort.

  • Twitter Acts Fast on Nonconsensual Nudity If It Thinks It’s a Copyright Violation

    Jump

  • There's no copyright involved in taking a picture of someone, or having a picture of someone... Your tourist pictures are fine. If you publicize then or try selling them, that might be an issue, but making it inconvenient for people to make money off of non-permission photos isn't really concerning to most people.

  • Why self host a password manager?

    Jump

  • Well 'no benefits' is a bit of a stretch.

  • Philly restaurant bans GOP candidate after being told campaign stop was autism event

    Jump

  • Still doesn't work in my head....'GOP candidate tries hijacking Autism even and turns it into campaign fundraiser....gets asked to leave and not return...then tries to do the same thing at a church across the street and gets asked to leave'....

    none of that is reflected in that title

  • Donald Trump’s foul-mouthed migrant rant captured in private pitch to donors

    Jump

  • Quite likely one feeding the other. He must have learned long ago that he'll never be able to compete in brains, but money, threats and bravado will get someone like him a lot farther than he'd get otherwise. In the meantime, he may have accidentally convinced himself that his level of knowledge actually is big and beautiful and anyone who claims to know more is just bullshitting like he is.

  • My wife has an iPhone. I have a Samsung S23. Why do videos she texts me look like super low res shit?? Can iPhones not text videos?

    Jump

  • You're probably getting suggestions for what she should do different because, at least at a starting point, it could just as easily be something her phone is doing before sending as it is something your phone is doing on the receiving end.

    I've had a phone say 'video to big, do you want to crop or share through abc app' before. Don't recall the exact message, but seems more likely than you phone downgrading something it's receiving.

  • Mr.Beast Hires Elon Musk's Favorite Attorney to Fight Sociopath Claims

    Jump

  • Yeah, guess i meant i doubt Walmart chooses to sell his chocolate based on the chocolate. I mean it could be fine, but unless he's really talented in chocolate making and extremely economical, I'm reasonably sure they're selling a box with the name 'Mr Beast' on it that happens to contain chocolate. If that name ever becomes neutral or negative in driving sales, i would be shocked if they keep it based on quality.

  • US conservative influencers say they are ‘victims’ of Russian disinformation campaign

    Jump

  • Imagine the suspension of intellect it must take to admit that Russia is willing to pay you push the narrative you are already pushing, or are willing to push, and then considering yourself a victim for doing it.

    You weren't the target, you were the tool.

  • 'My car is more convenient'

    Jump

  • It doesn't require suspension of critical thought when you can look around the world and see that nowhere does anyone have high speed rail spanning distances and population densities equivalent to what the US would need to go from, say, New York to LA, it East to West Coast in general. There are plenty of examples similar locally to East or West Coast population centers, but nothing in between. High speed commercial routes? Maybe. High speed commuter rail? It's not even close to being worth the cost: utilization.

  • 'My car is more convenient'

    Jump

  • Not sure what you are arguing with exactly, theres a huge difference between commercial and commuter 'profitability'. Things that freely allow for commerce like a road can be justified from many different direction where a periodic service only makes sense based on demand. That isn't to say that maintaining an underutilized route with the goal of it becoming utilized based on is availability is always a bad idea, but a road can be built and it's cost can at least roughly be correlated to it's use. If you had to periodically rebuild every road, at roughly the same cost whether it was used or not, they would end up with the same 'profitability' concern, but mostly you have to build all the roads for minimal usability and then spend the most money on the most used roads. Freeways are understood to improve commercial visibility and are funded by taxes for that reason. The entire country benefits by having clear routes for good to move. Commuter rail primarily benefits a local area and is funded heavily by fares and local taxes.

  • Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?

    Jump

  • This is a really old message, but if you're still having the same question i could try to answer, but that kind of message is pretty context dependant. For that specific one, it sounds like your program is trying to access something outside your network,, like they have a website they need to access to check for updates or something.

  • How could simulating the ports as open be useful?

    Jump

  • A benign scan could just be looking for an ftp server to connect to or a repeater or relay server of some sort. There are plenty of open services people make available for free and the fact that you would consider it an attack it doesn't make it one.

    At minimum you could be alerted to look for someone attempting to connect to your ftp server with a single basic anonymous authentication vs someone flooding that port with known malicious software attacks, and block the latter across your entire network and effectively ignore the former. Really it seems like you're advertising your lack of imagination in this context than a legitimate lack of possible uses for spoofing open ports.

  • Him talking back to God doesn't mean he would be annoying to talk to as a person. I didn't know many politicians that would risk their position vs sucking up.

  • Assuming it's the Satan of the bible, and for some reason he's just wearing that outfit to make him self more identifiable, what have you heard about him that's actually obnoxious?

  • Lindsey Graham Says Joy ‘Doesn’t Exist in the Real World’

    Jump

  • You seem to be intentionally misunderstanding which side actually has a plan or policy meant to help anyone other than the rich. Trump doesn't know or care what the policy plans behind 2025 are, but as long as he gets his but in the seat that can keep himself out of jail and make people keep paying attention he'll sign whatever the actual handlers come up with

  • How could simulating the ports as open be useful?

    Jump

  • At a guess, you might tell the difference between some benign scan and an attempt to actually take advantage of the port, perhaps to use as a trigger to automatically ban an ip address? or a way to divert malicious resources to an easy looking target so they are less available in other areas?

    The difference between someone scanning for open ports and someone attacking a port they find open seems significant enough to at least track and watch for patterns... Whether that's useful for the majority of users or not is rarely why a feature is implemented.
