Idk, this was kind of a rare combination of “write secure function; proceed to ignore secure function and rawdog strings instead” + “it can be exploited by entering a string with a semicolon”. Neither of those are anything near as egregious as a use after free or buffer overflow. I get programming is hard but like, yikes. It should have been caught on both ends

Because that bug was so egregious, it demonstrates a rare level of incompetence.

Because $350 couldn’t possibly buy enough hardware to run a modern operating system!

• Microsoft, probably

You’re right, how short-sighted of me. Thank you corporate overlords for saving me the burden of managing your text files for you.

His logic literally buffer underflowed

Super dodgeball for the NES.

Deceptively simple, but much deeper than it seems on first glance. Each character has 2 different special abilities that change the way you throw. Especially if you can get a few buddies to huddle around the tv with you, will keep you all entertained for hours.

You might want to check your access permissions; he didn’t even sudo.

This is probably the play they’re making; the only thing that makes me think it might be something else is that they also announced ditching proprietary code in favor of kvm in workstation. Makes me wonder if they instead are deciding to slowly kill the product line, and instead of just stopping development entirely, they’re giving it out as if it’s some huge gift to try and “buy” good will before it becomes an inferior product?

Either way, support costs for the product are now $0 (because you can’t buy it) and development costs are about to be near-zero if they’re forking upstream kvm.

Who decides what “truth” is? In concept I’m with you but in practice that sounds like a nightmare. See: mainland china

Governments should be the arbiters of law and recommendations, not the arbiters of truth.

The state of modern technology is so unhinged that not only has it been a basic feature of the core operating system for almost a decade, enabling it on any device that doesn’t intentionally break the feature is literally just creating a specific text file with the desired charge limit as an integer.

I wish we owned the things we bought. 🙃

Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I used to drink a lot and I never did anything drunk that I didn’t want to do sober. The drinking just impairs judgement and how much you care about consequences in the moment.

King size candy bars, give out 2 to each. Everyone always loved that guy

Commas are important, who knew? If only he had paid attention in English class!

Personal computer taken to a company help desk, humans + horses

Hundreds of gigabytes of horse porn, right in a folder on his desktop called “horse”. The thumbnail of the folder made it incredibly clear what the folder was and what was in it, which was made extra clear by the max zoom his desktop icons were set to. (it was like, no joke, almost 1/10th the screen).

Fun fact: that was the day I learned my state doesn’t have mandatory reporting laws for animal abuse, only csam.

I think it’s one of those things that is against the spirit of a law but not the letter of it. It feels illegal, it probably should be illegal, it might be illegal in the future, but for now it’s sketchy but technically above board.

The thing about rational actors, is when given the same information they should make the same choices. I would argue that they’re most likely, instead, just at the peak of mt. stupid

We shouldn’t blame the victims that society failed to properly educate. You’re right that if people intimately understood apple the way you probably do, they’d never buy an apple product. I would argue, however, that it’s a failing of education not an informed choice to be corporately cucked.

Raid is not a backup!

TL/DR he wants to move the touchback to the 35
