Starlink kit found amid wreckage of Russian drone
  • Well, given that they have access to Internet via starlink, all they would have to do is set up a website and list the IDs, then block everything that's not there.

    They got me shipment? Add them to the list? No longer own the device? Remove it.

  • Trump campaign was hacked again in the last 10 days
  • This looks like stunts to help trump boost his numbers. Notice that he wants media to talk about him. The documents from the last one did not contain anything that we already didn't know and likely were leaked by his campaign.

  • Sanders Files to Force First-Ever Vote in Congress on Blocking Weapons to Israel
  • He was criticizing the response since the beginning?

    Frankly I was initially supporting them, as I am against Hamas but Israel lost the objective, didn't destroy Hamas and didn't get hostages out. So what was all that for?

  • Trump-Zelenskyy feud escalates as Republicans demand envoy’s removal
  • I first didn't think much of it, but now I am realizing that this visit shows how Republicans lie that Biden is just dropping pallets off dollar bills into Ukraine, when in reality majority of it actually stays within US, creating jobs, and apart from artillery shells majority of production is to replenish US stocks, because we are giving Ukraine equipment that was close to expire.

    This lie being exposed is the real reason why Mike is upset.

  • Winamp for desktop source code has been released.
  • Three streaming (like pointed in the other comment) was my initial reaction too, but indeed at the time https for streaming would be very rare.

    Another possibility is to realize that openssl isn't just for communication, but also has implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

    Perhaps openssl was used for validation of licensing key? For example they could sign the license with their private key and WinAmp could verify it's authenticity with its public key.

  • Kaspersky deletes itself, installs UltraAV antivirus without warning
  • Notice that UltraAV belongs to UltraVPN, company that looks like it's under Chinese control (despite ban on VPNs they are suspiciously allowed to operate there)

    UltraAV is basically non-existent outside of this news, so it likely is Kaspersky in new skin too bypass federal regulation.

  • Stay in Australia, mein lieber Freund!
  • People have selective memory

    Under Trump the economy seemed to be doing well, wages were up, inflation a nonissue, unemployment down,

    Economy was doing good until mid 2018 when sugar rush of cut taxes for corporations run out and stick market was crashing. Those same people (trump supporters) were saying that we are due for recession.

    The tax bill was the first major change that affected economy, I actually lost job by end of 2018, because outsourcing became more beneficial with the new tax bill. By end of 2018 all 401k earnings since beginning of 2018 were wiped.

    2019 continued to have crashes and also started having supply issues (this was before covid)

    illegal immigration wasn’t often in the news,

    Like a clockwork, the caravans always seem to form during campaign season for some reason.

    no war in Ukraine or Israel,

    The thing is that despite what right wing media is spewing those aren't our ways, our military is not involved. We are providing support.

    Afghanistan had not collapsed,

    Well this is something trump started and negotiated with Taliban (can you imagine he invited them to Camp Davis?). What outcome was expected when US negotiated withdrawal behind Afghanistan's government back?

    abortion was a nonissue, etc.

    I don't think this particular thing is helping trump.

  • Fake Reddit comments generated by AI?

    So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old.

    What was unusual was that within minutes I got the red envelope. And looking at it there was a response to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago.

    So first thing is that as many were saying Reddit undeletes comments. I initially ignored that I saw some comments that I thought were deleted, but I assume it was because subreddits were locked and that's why they were invisible to Power Delete Suite, but this was on r/programming which was unlocked for quite some time (not sure if it ever was locked).

    Second thing is the response within minutes.

    So my 2 year old comment still exists and it's not showing up on my profile. I wouldn't even know about it is not for that response.

    Of course this could be a coincidence, the account that responded to me is 9 years old, the content of it seems normal, although I saw comments on r/ChatGPT.

    Though the timing bugs me off. If the comment is not from a real person maybe when Reddit restored it the AI code thought it was a new comment and responded to it.

    Another thing that contributes to my suspicion of chatbots being deployed is that I noticed since the API protest and after they unlocked subreddits is that I get more upvotes and more responses than I used to.

    Anyone observed something similar?
