So glad I completely gave up on MS after Windows 7.

I still use a Roku that was gifted to me, but only thanks to also having a pihole. The amount of logging & ads it blocks on the Roku is insane. If that ever stopped working I would ditch the Roku in a heartbeat.

So then what about those photos of the “person of interest”? He wasn’t carrying a rifle or anything else… I’d expect to see him carrying the rifle or something of similar shape/size. If those were from before the shooting then how did he get the rifle up to the roof? If they were from after the shooting then how did the rifle get to the woods where it was found?

How hilarious would it be if that wasn’t the murder weapon and the shooter planted it ahead of time as a distraction.

And here I was wondering how they would make fun of this in next weeks new episode…

Didn’t some TV news talking head claim it could have been somebody shooting their gun in celebration and it all being a terrible accident?

My local news reported that a black clad figure was seen running across a rooftop immediately following the shooting so they’re trying to ID who it was. It’s the same rooftop where there have already been reports the shot likely came from. I forget the name of the building though.

But Charlie told me trans people were unhinged and responsible for mass shootings, not highly precise targeted assassinations. Just go ask Char… oh, right.

I’m willing to bet they’ll still find somebody to pin this on. Somebody whose skin isn’t lily white, and whose name may sound slightly foreign.

I saw a similar video a couple weeks ago. The bridge was mined but the Russians had apparently strung up anti-drone netting all around it as well. Watching the drone maneuver around to find a clear path to reach & detonate the explosives really made me think it was some sort of modern day 3D video game…

Surprising the gravitational pull of his head didn’t pull it closer…

The old white dude apparently didn’t do it. He’s reportedly already been released.

Those new Mexicans are so much worse than the old Mexicans! At least the old Mexicans know enough to stay in Mexico!

HSTS just enforces HTTPS over HTTP.

I seriously doubt Chrome or Firefox would ever be coerced into trusting a cert like that. If they did then you would see a very rapid shift away from those browsers to one or more of the open source alternatives.

And any CA that issued such a cert that allowed for wholesale MITM access like that would be blacklisted by all the browsers very quickly as well. That would put the CA out of business very quickly.

Part of the problem is how insanely complex modern cars are. Modern cars can have 30+ different ECUs, and knowing which ECU does what can be difficult to figure out. Programming ECUs is also a bit of a dark art, and a model line of cars can go through a number of ECU versions over time.

I used to own a car that the battery regularly died on. Eventually, after multiple dealer visits, a couple replaced batteries, and hours of internet research, I found two service recalls that described my cars symptoms perfectly. The problem for me was my cars VIN fell outside both recall notices. But I took printouts of both recall notices to a dealer and they agreed to look into it. They confirmed my car had buggy firmware, annd ended up installing updated firmware on two different ECUs. I never had a battery problem again after that. I’ve worked in tech for 30+ years and I wouldn’t have wanted to tackle that on my own…

Blocking HTTPS would be frighteningly hilarious. My employer is one of thousands of websites that utilizes HSTS, which tells web browsers to use HTTPS. Our implementation of HSTS, like lots of banks etc. is also listed with HSTSpreload, which means browsers like chrome will only ever use HTTPS with our site.

Yeah, but how would dismantling the SSA have helped SpaceX?

I saw a post elsewhere from a white person in California that put a Mexican flag sticker on their beat up car. They were quickly pulled over by ICE. When asked why the flag was there they just claimed it was on the car when they bought it.

Little tricks like this that waste ICE resources can really add up if lots of people do it…
