It’s ironic because the hippies were the ones saying this in the past and now they’re the ones in charge.
Gives me hope that pretty soon I will be old enough to reap the benefits and damn the consequences. Really looking forward to it.
What indie developer would deliberately sign up with take two?
In the song that’s what they send every single day two French hens every single day are sent so yeah at the end they do send a lot of French hens.
It just means that it is a representation of some other wealth. Gold isn’t fiat because gold itself is the thing that has value, currency is fiat because it is a representation of value not in and of itself valuable.
All currency is by definition fiat because all currency is a representation of value. And the crypto Bros keep telling us that bitcoin and similar are currency so they are therefore fiat.
Yes I appreciate that but what I’m saying is that there isn’t really a reason to hack Earth 2 accounts.
Ostensively it is an upcoming game, It isn’t it’s just a crypto scam, that people have registered interest in but I don’t believe there’s anything they can actually do on the accounts yet. It’s essentially just pre-registration.
So really all that anyone has got out of this is a list of email addresses they could use for phishing. It’s not like they’ll get any new passwords out of it to hack on other services such as email providers or bank accounts
Every single time anyone mentions crypto always some idiot comes out of the woodwork and starts to have an argument about the definition of fiat.
So let’s just say this right now and then move on shall we, If it’s currency it’s fiat, therefore crypto is also fiat
You are correct that people commonly reuse passwords. People are stupid after all. But in this case passwords weren’t taken because they were encrypted, so all they’ve got is user names and email addresses.
From the sounds of it, the database was actually pretty secure the problem was the interface between the database and the website wasn’t. Good news is because the database was secure not a lot of sensitive information has been leaked.
Only usernames and email addresses were taken so nothing particularly valuable although if you’re subscribed to Earth 2 you’re probably a bit gullible, so maybe it is worth having a list of known idiots email addresses.
This is like normal Earth except more crypto. So it’s more like Earth Z
What sort of content are you archiving. I was trying to backup Wikipedia at some point and it was just a nightmare.
I think Apple refunds people once.
Yet I have done, it doesn’t work. Because what do I know? I only work in cyber security it’s only my job. I’m sure Bernard the C-Suite middle manager knows better, pay no attention to all the ask toolbars he has installed.
If your entire workforce is ai and you don’t have any humans then how do humans who don’t have a job pay for your product?
The entire concept of replacing the workforce with AI falls apart when you spend more than 2 seconds thinking about it. Only way it would work is if we actually got rid of the entire concept of money.
If the New York times wants to continue to be irrelevant entity in the world than they won’t take him up on that offer.
Get one from Halfords then. They’ll repair any e-bike that they sell and they sell a wide variety of brands. Where I got mine from.
Go to a nightclub sometime. Discounted vapes in the outside areas are a tripping Hazard.
There is a lens material that is currently in development that can change its optical properties based on an electrical current, so it’s entirely possible.
is a bit fucked up that it’s more profitable to use rechargeable lithium batteries than something disposable
That’s because the global manufacturing industries have almost exclusively gone over to lithium-ion batteries. Disposable batteries are ceasing to be commodity items. It’s seriously difficult to find a D cell battery these days.
I do find it interesting though that the finals is another game that basically has not been advertised to anyone, and that has a very strong but small community. So not advertising your game is not automatically a death sentence although it probably doesn’t help.
One of the things they teach in cyber security is to assume that no matter how much you bang on about secure passwords the client is still going to have
Password1234!. So you build around that.Though people were a lot more blasé about security in general in the cold war. Computers were considered to be quasi magical boxes and it was sort of believed that they wouldn’t act against you.
