  • Generally no-- the payload typically comes from some sort of interaction (click a link, open an attachment, reply to the message). There have been some zero interaction attacks with emails before. Like for example, when the email is previewed in the reading pane in Outlook. These are exceptionally rare and not what we're training against when we do phishing training.

    That said, if you know an email is phishing it's always best to not interact with it at all, but you really can't always tell by the sender and subject line alone.

  • Is banning them from lobbying sufficient?

    What if someone retired from politics and then works for Shell and pays for a free weekend getaway to the Bahamas for a Congress member? Or for their "friend"?

    Sounds like we need strict laws around what is lobbying

  • Love Primitive Technology but that food looks pretty bad 😆

  • The good news is, a lot of old secrets won't really matter anymore by the time we have quantum computers that can break the encryption. There will obviously be a big impact on information that was encrypted just before we get a working quantum computer that can crack modern crypto.

    In cryptography discussions, I feel like we're usually implying (or even saying out loud) that the encryption is secure for a sufficient amount of time and computer power. Perhaps people outside of cryptography don't know it, but I think there is a reasonable expectation that encrypted communications could be decrypted at some point in the future. We just hope it's sufficiently far enough away (or difficult enough) to not be a problem.

    Honestly as soon as we get some good post-quantum crypto, we'll probably want to switch over to it asap, even if good quantum computers are still far out, just to help alleviate some of this problem. Of course, I imagine we're still going to be finding new things once the technology is real and being used. Let's hope the post-quantum cryptography algorithms we come up with actually are strong against a sufficiently large quantum computer.

  • Yeah "gif" has basically become a common noun like escalator at this point.

    It's even notified on the Wikipedia page for gif, in the third paragraph: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF

  • Sounds like a lot of work. I have no idea how heavy a ship's anchor is, but I imagine it would be hard to throw any significant distance.

  • I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact website before

  • At least we have font-family: sans-serif;

  • He actually is pretty heavyset in his role in The Exorcism, which just came out. I don't know if it was intentional but it certainly fits with his character in the film.

  • Nice, that's a good point! I didn't think of that.

  • Not opposed to this, but why do I want this?

    I suppose many responsive sites have a maximum content width that is admittedly a lot smaller than many displays these days. I guess this lets you use a couple more pixels of vertical space by trading the wasted horizontal space.

  • Now that you say this, it does look a lot like the trucks from this era. Most of the photos I've found have flatbeds but you can clearly see the same shape in this photo. I wonder if they sold a panel truck like this or if it was modified to be enclosed.

  • Really unique looking car. Seems to be a 1950s cab over engine Chevrolet based on reverse image search. A lot of people calling it a Suburban but I think it looks different than photos of Suburbans I've found from that era. Maybe it's been modified, idk.

  • Prior to version 10, Android releases were given names that were various sweets/desserts. Examples included Ice Cream Sandwich, Nougat, and Oreo.

    I think OP is joking that Warm Glazed Donut Ice Cream Sandwich could be an Android version name.

  • I am gay. I have a gay friend who uses that term in a "taking it back" sense.

    I love my friend and respect him but it hurts so bad it's to hear that. It's honestly triggering to me because it reminds me of middle and high school.

    I wish he wouldn't use that term but maybe it is okay if we really are taking it back.

    I have talked to some elder gays who seem to feel the same way about other terms like "lesbian" so maybe it really is a generational aversion to the slur of the time.

    I don't like feeling genuinely upset but I am willing to endure it if it means progression for LGBTQIA+ ppl.

    Anyone who has a thought about this pls reply. Would really love to hear non-straight folks opinions on it, but even willing to hear straight folks opinions as long as they are respectful and non-violent. ♥️

  • Bawling my eyes out for Edward. Honestly makes me sick. It's okay to be gay or not straight or anything in between.
