A good point, but if privacy is their key concern then I would imagine it would have to be a two step approach - rip out the SIM and radio, but also have a couple of plan B’s such as phones with location tracking (the irony isn’t lost on me), land-based EPIRB’s, or satphones or whatever’s needed.
That, or invest in some drop-croc martial arts!
I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.
Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.
How is someone getting control of their data by paying a ransom?
The opposing actor still has your data, so it doesn’t really matter how much you pay, you’ll never be able to mitigate that security issue, surely?
Just to be a proper poser…
…obviously that was a lie, I could never afford persistent storage. Floppy swaps were king.
I should imagine you could measure direction too, if one is tripped before the other.
They may be for calculating speed, but without any further information, there’s no way of telling what wheels belong to what vehicle, or how many wheels (edit: or more specifically, axles) a vehicle has - so it certainly wouldn’t be viable for enforcement.
I’m a lad from Bradford, in the UK.
my condolences, friend
Absolute banger. Kickstand is the standout song for me - it’s what Soundgarden do best compressed into two minutes or so.
I got into grunge based on the 32-bit edition of Road Rash’s soundtrack. Therapy?, Paw, Soundgarden… all absolutely bitchin’ 90’s rock bands.
A shitpost duel awaits.
The winner gets seven statues on all continents, each facing a finely-calibrated direction - the intersection of their gazes meet at a point where the secret to humanity is buried.
The loser gets a year using the upside-downternet, six months on ISDN, or a week on MySpace as the only communication method with the outside world.
Ah sorry, I wasn’t clear - I meant the way the issues were sensibly and rationally outlined!
yeah yeah yeah but how can we get the rage about sensible and rational issues like that???
I’ve never really “got” slots, it does seems like you’re putting coins in to watch a fancy representation of a dice roll every time.
I really enjoy the machines known as “fruit machines” or “gamblers” or “puggies” in the UK - it’s still RNG at it’s core but at least it’s a bit more interactive in how you activate the main and special features, and it’s fun learning what the games are and how each machine behaves.
Plus, if you do drop the jackpot, it’s nice having the next round of pints paid for in advance.
Obviously the final answer will be different in every jurisdiction, but I would think it’d be less of a fraud issue - you can’t be accused of sending false information if you’re sending no information.
I suspect where things would get dicey is in the car-as-a-service part - where the EULA of a car software would open you up to legal challenge if you changed any hardware or software function of the car.
It would absolutely 95% get laughed out of court, but not without leaving you with a hefty legal bill no doubt. Obviously the full answer would depend on your local legal system and lawyer’s advice.
I thought it said “fuck Tory” initially, which would be a far more common sight in Scotland.
but yeah whatever fuck Toby too, absolute rocket
Right click?? Why did we ever need a second or third or seventeenth button anyway?
They have played us for absolute fools
I’m pushing 40 and going back to education has done wonders for me. I went in to a study field that I’ve grown up loving and enjoying, thinking I was billy big balls and thinking it would be easy…
…which it was for a few weeks, but one of the biggest things I’ve learned from academia is how much I don’t know. It’s given me a more positive mindset, especially seeing lectures from some of the tutors who have more postnominals than I’ve got in my postcode - I see it as a wonderful opportunity to learn from some of the brightest minds in the country, and to enjoy myself while doing it.
I do get though that higher education is expensive and a big time drain if you’re working full time, but I’ve chosen a study area completely different from my employment - so I’m literally doing it for funsies and my future employment isn’t tied to that which is a very fortunate position to be in.
I’d recommend anyone pop along to their local FE college or local uni, and see what part time or distance learning courses they might offer - the worst that could happen is that nothing interests you!
A bit of a narrow audience, but I bought The id Anthology - basically a greatest hits collection of id Software’s games up to Quake.
I bought it for a laugh really a few months after it came out for about £25, and kept the cool trinkets inside it.
These days, it’s worth anything from fifteen times that to fifty times that, judging by eBay’s completed listings.
It’s cool, and I’ve no plans to flog it, but it’s nice to know that there’s a small holiday’s worth of funds tied up in it.
Nothing wrong with being an OG Doom lover.
There’s a reason that the thirty seconds between 00:10 and 00:40 is an absolute masterpiece.
The sound design is half the reason why Doom was so good, and why Doom II is better - going up point blank to a tanky enemy with the super shotgun and making every shot count is borderline orgasmic - second only to beserk-punching an Imp into gibs while still moving forward, beautiful.
Honestly friend, I would give Sigil 2 a bash first. I’m sorry if I’ve spoiled it, but deffo give it the 90mins it takes to rattle through the episode before you YouTube it. It’s good fun all told!
It’s perhaps why Sigil 2’s M8 was so weird - these “rules” of Cyber or Mastermind usage have been known for a long time, and E6M8’s implementation just pisses over the rulebook and burns it in the corner.
It’s like Doom II’s Gotcha… but for primary school.
The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.
I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?
