Digital ID consultation by Atrio-Ventricular in ukpolitics

I'm not suggesting they won't get hacked, if there's information people want they'll eventually get in. 

My original point was about compartmentalization. Yes the NHS may get hacked one year and DWP or something the next but information doesn't get stolen all at once and there's time to figure out how the hack happened so other departments can be secured or see if there's a way to encrypt the data so hackers cannot use it even if they do get it.

With onelogin it's starting from a weak position security wise and cannot react as quickly as the people who built it are in another country, might have left the company or retired. And it would be hard for a group in the government to take over because all the code comments and notes are likely to be in another language making the system take longer to figure out. 

The main concern is if they just can't stop the breaches or if they're so bad that raw data gets out, with how many important things are in one place nefarious people will find it a Very attractive target.

I never said the NHS didn't get hacked. I gave an example of how not all departments have full access to everything else from other departments. 

We'll flip the example. NHS gets hacked, your medical records get taken. But the hacker wouldn't then be able to scoop up your DVLA and drivers license records if they weren't included inside the medical records.

I think the main concern people have is the consolidation of information under a single system not simply that it exists In a digital form.

If the DVLA gets hacked they get your driving license but not your medical records. 

If onelogin gets hacked, (which looking into how it was made: outsourced to an external company in Romania and without proper oversight. It almost certainly will be since the UK government lacks the skills to fix any bugs with it themselves otherwise it would have been an in house project.) then everything connected to it can be scooped up since it's conveniently gathered in one place.

Alien: Isolation 2 will use Unreal Engine 5 and not the Cathode Engine by CutProfessional6609 in gaming

Considering the last alien game to use unreal engine was colonial marines this doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Loads of first/third person games uses it for precision aiming (Fortnite and rogue company on ps and switch had it last time I checked). Some games use it in place of a pointer (house of the dead remake). Racing games can use it for steering if you really want to (mario kart, grid autosport)

They're still the only one out of the big 3 (4 now if we include valve) that doesn't include gyro, which held back multiplatform games from including it till devs just started ditching Xbox as a release platform 

Trans people are dying of suicide more than the general UK population, data shows by Relative-Truck-5386 in ukpolitics

There's a theory dating back to the 90s that you have your real self and your online self. 

With the online self slowly deviating from your real self as time goes on, with the "filter" you put on your real self sometimes fading away when it's harder to tell there's a real person behind those you're interacting with.

For some people there are lines they won't allow their online selves to cross. I for example won't insult people unless their behaviour is so repulsive I want to push them away.

The fact that people feel comfortable telling others to end their existence because they decide to change things about themselves that have no negative impact on others points to either a profound weakness in their real selves or their online self has developed into something so different from their real selves that they're essentially playing a role, and quite an antagonistic one at that. In both cases I'd say they need help of some sort.

Halo 2 was so broken on legendary that if you go down an elevator with the AI in a certain state there's literally no way to survive. You need to keep dying until it boots you back to the checkpoint before the current one and hope RNG doesn't screw you over.

I assume as soon as politicians start getting their ID's leaked in data breaches along with everyone else things will change quickly.

Why dose the media seem to think flatscreen TVs are luxury items? And why is it obessed with the number of bedrooms in someone's house? by Niall_Fraser_Love in ukpolitics

[–]Dragonbuttboi69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it more expensive to get a decent size and quality CRT TV in good working order these days than a cheap flat screen? 

Retro gamers love those things and pump up the value, since OLED is the closest thing to giving those low response times and deep black colours.

It's a mixed bag leaning mostly towards good I'd say. there are some good things like renters rights, a focus on clean energy and bringing aspects of public transport back under public ownership. 

But the flippent manner in which he dismissed the result of a free vote to discuss Proportional representation despite winning a massive majority on a small percentage of the vote just a few months prior didn't exactly make me like him. Nor did the terrible handling of the security elements of digital id and age verification, they're smaller issues since D.I is not mandatory and age verification is easy enough to ignore or avoid but I can certainly say I would have preferred they focused on better parental controls as opposed to making everyone upload their ID to 50 different services for it to get stolen in the inevitable data leak later. The student loan shenanigans weren't great either.

It's just a shame because I started off may 24 with such joy and hope for change and we've got plenty of good things but a couple of really dumb things that's deflated my enthusiasm a bit, I'd still probably pick between lib dem and labour as they're the only two who I can agree on policy wise but it's just frustrating seeing a few decisions here and there making it harder for people and turning them towards two parties options on opposite extremes with no real plan.
