Stuxnet was pretty wild. Used four zero-day Windows exploits to pretty much guarantee infection, propagated itself onto other computers on the network, and then did nothing unless it detected its host was running Siemens Step7 software connected to a PLC driving centrifuges within a specific range of frequencies specific to uranium enrichment, at which point it would start fucking with the centrifuge speeds to impede enrichment and drastically increase wear while displaying normal readings on operator stations. It was estimated to have destroyed as much as one fifth of Iran's uranium centrifuges.
What really gets me about these landleeches is that literally getting property for free, paid for by someone else, isn't even enough for them. Nope, equity is worthless, gotta have cash on their pockets after paying the mortgage and expenses to count as "profit."
What if we, like, intentionally infected people with a weakened version of the virus in order to train their immune systems to fight it? We could just squirt a bit right into their arms with a pointy tipped syringe, and it'd only take a few seconds...
That was always the surest sign I'd really pissed off a RWNJ. Good times
Funny thing about that is nobody at work looks twice if I'm leaning back and obviously doomscrolling on my phone, but spend fifteen minutes on Codewars and every person who walks by my desk is all suspicious...
I got a 3 day sitewide suspension, and (very surprisingly) a permaban from /r/fuckthealtright for calling a story about an Infowars employee getting murdered "uplifting."
The book is a “mix of out-of-date and previously reported claims about the company and false accusations about our executives,” a Meta spokesman, Andy Stone, said in a statement.
Asshole implying misdeeds can only be reported on once, and they must be recent, otherwise they just don't count? Fuck off...
I mean, if immigrants are being sent to an El Salvadorian prison, that's pretty much a death sentence anyway...
What a fuckin' joke. By the title blaming "Gen Z," the implication is that those newer to the work force - ie, entry level and junior positions - are most guilty of this, when later in the article it points out management and executives engage in "fauxductivity" at higher rates, and that it's far from a new phenomenon.
I'm not a zoomer, but this bullshit is often a pretty significant part of my day. I work in an industrial facility in a maintenance role, and all of our regular work is planned and scheduled in advance. We wrap up all our jobs for the day, and that's it - we can't just go out and start turning wrenches on live equipment. Might kill a bit of time tidying up the shop and trucks, follow up on some orders, but beyond that there's not much to do. Current supervision is pretty chill because they know how it is, but it still feels like a bad look to be spending the last couple hours of the day sitting with my feet up, staring at my phone. And at the last place I worked, we'd actually get in shit for not appearing busy no matter how empty the schedule was.
What makes you think they'd give us voting rights? You never heard of Puerto Rico?
That already happened back in 2020 when Fox called the election for Biden. MAGATs melted down, called Fox "radical leftists" and vowed to give their views to even more regressive outlets.
I've been getting prepped for a round of tabletop Battletech with some friends this weekend. Printed a couple minis, laminated cheat sheets, bit of painting, and generally coordinating things and brushing up on the game as it's all going down at my house, the basement is a mess, and we're all fairly new to the game.
"Kids these days..."
The clocks built into appliances aren't generally being relied upon to wake people up for work or school or whatever else is time sensitive, so it's not particularly important that people be reminded to change them when the time change occurs. Phone clock updates automatically, and that's the alarm for the overwhelming majority of people young enough to not be living in assisted care.
