RIP in pepperonis OP

There was a British superhero TV show called Misfits. One of the delinquents had the power to control milk, I.e. you drink milk and this guy could curdle it in your body and kill you.

Are we both thinking about 15% BAC murderin’ Jesus here?

Russia claimed and held territory. Their military leadership doesn’t particularly value human lives in this conflict and hasn’t historically either. I have no doubt that they will continue the course suffering heavy human losses and eventually find some form of victory.

Ukraine needs more people if they want any hope of staving that eventuality off. The Russians have very different ideas of fighting a war of attrition.

Quantity is a quality of its own. I’d say Ukraine is hanging on with advanced weaponry. It needs the mass to push Russian troop advances and repel their forces out of their country.

Anything else is keeping the status quo of roughly even wins and losses, which will never lead to victory in the next decade.

One of us!

Imagine WW3 kicking off from TikTok. Not even a cool battle or anything, just massive misinformation campaigns to incite violence and false flag attacks

Also

The devices set to be prohibited include all types of smartwatches and wearable devices as well.

I’m surprised they weren’t already restricting most personal electronics in sensitive spaces. That’s pretty basic stuff

It’s not as purpose-built, but its replacing a ton of airframes which are decidedly not as stealthy as an F22. Think of all of the F16s, F18s, and AV-8s being replaced by F35s

Yes. This is generally agreed upon as being a terminal escalation.

Attacking diplomatic missions very quickly turns into no diplomacy between the two countries. This doesn’t leave many options other than military actions on the table.

Why should the interviewee assume that?

This could very well be a test to see if the applicant has an idea of how a project scales or how they need to interact with other departments or track down compliance information. It could also test the applicant’s ability to provide a sanity check to a boss’s idea before they pitch something that the team can’t actually do

Nuclear deterrent because it’s submarine-borne. If a country makes a first strike on the UK, their submarines, which are ideally hidden and steaming around in oceans somewhere, can make a retaliation strike. They’re still equipped with nuclear warheads but aren’t necessarily intended for a first strike.

You can destroy the UK, but you won’t escape unscathed.

Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.

Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?

The article is 8 sentences. Doesn’t seem like a great source

This seems simple for one stream, but scale that up to how many unique streams that Youtube is servicing at any given second. 10k?

Google doesn’t own all of the hardware involved in this video serving process. They push videos to their local CDNs, which then push the videos to the end users. If we’re configuring streams on the fly with advertisements, we need to push the ads to the CDNs pushing out the content. They may already be collocated, but they may not. We need to factor in additional processing which costs time and money.

I can see this becoming an extremely ugly problem when you’re working with a decentralized service model like Youtube. Nothing is ever easy since they don’t own everything.

Thankfully it seems that encoding ads into the video stream is still too expensive for them to implement.

I’m assuming that asking CDNs to combine individualized ads with content and push the unique streams to hosts does not scale well.

There’s no world police, so unless other countries dispute China’s claims and back them up with some sort of weight, the region is theirs by default.

Honeypots have gotten really weird lately. Anti-honeypot (along with anti-VM and anti-debugging) techniques and methods are more common than ever. I think something like 80% of all APT-level malware from the past 5 years use these techniques

It’s best to purchase an old router which doesn’t support new protocols to learn with. It should only be used for your testing - not meant for normal use. WEP will be several orders of magnitude easier to crack than WPA2 or WPA3. Tools can help you break certain implementations of encryption regardless of how many bits of entropy that are being used - often by addressing weaknesses in the algorithms or cryptologic pathways vice brute forcing. That’s often the kind of thing demonstrated in conferences and featured in research papers.

As far as everything else is concerned, you’ll get there if you stick with it. I’ll echo what others have said in this thread; there are some serious diminishing returns for attaining absolute security, all of which can be bypassed by attacking you.
