Sweden seizes vessel suspected of 'sabotage' after undersea data cable rupture in Baltic Sea
  • Sabotage is in quotes because they are directly quoting someone. It's not a euphemism.

  • The Anti-Social Century | Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. It’s changing our personalities, our politics, and even our relationship to reality
  • I'll be the first to say it's not an inherently sexual thing, but I agree it's a weird suggestion.

    Going to any interest group meeting when you aren't actually interested in the topic is kind of weird.

  • HDMI 2.2 cranks the bandwidth to 96Gbps and aims to eliminate audio sync issues forever
  • Can anyone ELI5 how we are able to release new standards all the time? Are there technological advances that allow more bandwidth? If not, why not start with higher bandwidth?

  • Plumbers, electricians, homebuilders, sanitation workers, and electrical workers. Who'd I miss?

    Thank you all for a fine poopie.

  • AI bots on Reddit reaching the front page? I absolutely believe it
  • There are at least 37 of us. Unless a bot posted this...

  • sup
  • Nice, thanks.

  • Happy holidays
  • Who is this guy? That's not Ned Stark lol

  • I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all?
  • I've used y'all intentionally as a gender neutral term for years in the south.

    Lately I've even seen "y'all means all" used as a pride slogan in the south.

  • Discord admin gets 15 years for “one of the most significant leaks” in US history
  • While I disagree with OP, that kind of information isn't classified. It's personally identifiable information which is restricted and secured, but it's not classified in the same sense as the person who leaked on discord.

    In response to op, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to classify information that are not nefarious. For example, a diagram explaining the security systems for a building. It's better to restrict access to that document so it is less likely for an adversary to see the details, because all that would really do is enable them to identify weaknesses which they could exploit. Generally this sort of thing is called operational security and I think it is actually the basis for the US government's mandatory access control in the first place (e.g. "loose lips sink ships").

  • Meet the First Tenured Professor to Be Fired for Pro-Palestine Speech
  • Isn't this the whole point of tenure? To protect academic freedom?

  • Eric Adams Told FBI He Forgot His Phone’s Passcode
  • According to reporting, they have actually done this before.

    Most of the discussion I've read about this is along the lines of: clone the drive on the phone and then brute force the clones (circumventing the lockout issue: if you get locked out just keep trying on a new clone).

    In a relatively famous case, the FBI cracked the password on the San Bernardino shooter's phone, but did not explain how they did it: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/29/11325134/apple-iphone-fbi-san-bernardino-case-ends

    Here is a company selling a brute force module for iPhones, although they don't explain how they get around the lockout issue: https://belkasoft.com/unlocking-ios-devices-with-brute-force

    Here is another article about a company that claims to be able to brute force iPhone passcodes: https://www.vice.com/en/article/how-to-brute-force-iphones-graykey/

  • No way they’ll find me now
  • I feel like they gotta ask because if the answer is "yes" some action should probably be taken...

  • ‘THEM!’ might seem quaint, but I still think it’s an actually good movie.
  • I watched this recently as part of my kaiju movie club and I loved it! Really fun film and very watchable even in 2023.

  • Apparently a lot of people got Harlequin Crest before the hotfix. I wish they would roll that back, feels bad that a lot of folks got that and get to keep it.

  • Please don't hate me I know I'm a mess
  • Just take your change and step to the side. Allows the next person to continue checking out and gives you plenty of time to put away your change.

  • California thief steals $500,000 worth of wine by drilling hole through store roof
  • Curious how rare some of the bottles are. I've read that the fine wine community is pretty knowledgeable and tight knit, so I wonder if trying to sell an ultra rare bottle would raise any red flags.
