All the kids will be safe now they're logging into porn sites as Pete Hegseth.

Only after they've had their mandatory scrotum inspection and testosterone check to join the military at age 18.

You guy don't have to show cock and balls to the military commission? It's a standard practice in post-Communist countries, including NATO ones.

There's a guy in the US military intake processing facility (MEPS) whose job is, among other things, to inspect your bunghole

But more serious and non joking answer, the new thing from the "department of war" is testosterone level lab exams for existing servicemembers.

so... for military grade identification systems instead of face photo with id document next to it, you make banghole photo with id document next to it?

It's all good and fine until a scan of your combined face ID / bunghole ID is for sale on a russian based internet crime forum.

In the olden days, the doc would hold your nuts and tell you to turn your head and cough. This was to detect if you had a hernia (which was a medical exception).

The bunghole inspection was to see if you were the receptive partner in anal intercourse because being a gay man was a criminal offense.

Allegedly, lesbianism was never outlawed because Queen Victoria was so offended by the idea of it that she prohibited the legislation from even being heard in Parliament.

How do you even conclude from inspecting a butthole that it is "a receptive one"? Every man was one butthole inspection away from being a criminal?

I mean if a poo can get out, something of its size can also go in, and quality toilet paper was not that available at all historically.


Lots of workplaces allow reasonable personal use.

The problem from IT security point of view is what is "reasonable" and how it impacts internal systems if the laptop gets used as attack vector.

Is there any list of what kind of batteries are supported?

I couldn't find it on a short inspection.


Why would where the app comes from make a difference to their automated scanners?


I bet it's a path traversal bug, like you request a listing for files named "../../.." or something.

I love it how they say to update, but there's no point because it won't fix the vulnerability anyway.


Do DJs just use whatever equipment is at the venue?

Don't they bring their own setup?


DJs are typically playing on promoter or venue provided equipment, which is usually industry standard of pioneer/AT.

Otherwise, they bring their own, especially if it’s anything custom or specific to their performance.


There are some DJs who lug their own Pioneer controllers with them. Precisely because they can make sure that their library will work! No other reason.


I hope she has insurance when that db gets hacked or some other code disaster happens.


Even for my tiny toy projects, I notice a bug and I tell the LLM and it corrects it, most of the time, but I shudder at the amount of code it generates or changes.

If it has some subtle data corruption bug then you're hosed.

It's just crazy to me to think about running AI changes in production on a real product.


They don't know why nerds care, but they will find out when they have to replace their PC just to have enough RAM to run a weather app.


But they won’t make the connection

Flashy beats functional nine times out of ten

Just look at the automotive industry


And this is why Windows will have it's lunch eaten by Linux.


Why exactly? Because all the people who really care about good software will switch over? All 1% of the market?

Most people don't care about most things. I don't think much about the vast majority of products I use, because there's only so many things I can track closely. Same goes for everything else. Most people won't look and won't care.


I've heard SO MANY people who wouldn't usually care about such things say unprompted that they hate Windows 11. The ads, the nagging, the unbelievably slow performance for things that used to be instant, the terrible taskbar, etc etc.

I think they've finally made it so shit that people actually care and will look for alternatives.

Maybe it won't happen today, maybe not in the next 5 years, but it will happen.


I’ve read this sentence for more than a decade now.


Honestly it just reveals a poor theory of mind regarding the average consumer.


I wonder when this praised day will come. When did we hear this first? Is 20 years ago too soon?


When?
