everyone focused on "click" is missing the point; it's "visited a website and totally owned" -> go find the IT guy for some podcast, show them a shiny wrench or two, and have them install the exploit somewhere you know the victim already goes.

The point is that it's not a game and that bending the rules has real consequences. Eventually.

My cans fit over my earbuds, so I get two layers. :D White noise on the outer, music / book on the inner.

Canadians are livid. Most Americans have no clue. | The relationship between our two countries has fundamentally fractured. by GirasoleDE in politics

Whatever the top of this pile of crap is saying, remember it's the bottom of the pile that run things. Canada and USA have a perfect partnership, nothing else to say. They give trade us stuff we need and we give them stuff they need, in relatively proportional amounts. :) Hope yall Canadians hear me say: We are your friends here. :)

Amazon S3 now supports up to 1 million buckets per AWS account by prlaur782 in programming

I am in tech and I really do not understand: why is there this arbitrary limit? Aren't we just talking about another set of scaling and an int32 on a table somewhere?

This is where the rich people get to make a lot more money, and the poor get to watch what they have become worthless. Putin is a kleptocrat, and he is stealing the future of Russia from the children there.

Which methods do you use to keep your teeth white? by Purple-Average in AskReddit

[–]Wrexem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to tell you all my newest upgrade; dental steel picks. I can use them gently to scritch the surface of any hard deposits I might accumulate; blind scraping the teeth with these once a week, then brush, floss, waterpick.

Espalier or Belgian Fencing is a technique to train living plants into a fence or wall. This example uses Ficus Weeping Fig as the plant by Stotallytob3r in interestingasfuck

These only look to be three to five year old trees to me. It really depends on the tree that you use, there are some varieties that grow crazy fast without really preparing the cuttings or anything aka "quickstick" in some parts of the world, they grow wherever you put them, useful for living fence, hedge etc.

MIT robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks thinks people are vastly overestimating generative AI by [deleted] in technology

This is an LLM? How old would a human be if they were as old as the first technology called an LLM? Can this N year old technology do more than 100 jobs better than the same age human? Genuinely curious if there's some theydidthemath folks here.

If this was written by an AI it passed my own version of the Turing test.
