        Good job they’re (currently) more interested in your wealth than your existence as an agent of free will

          Someone’s published a paper explaining a method for hacking secret keys used in door card security readers by measuring the changes in the reader’s power led. The guy in the below does a really good job of explaining how it works.

            If you are doing capitalism or communism all the way, free will is to be expunged. You will be told what to buy and you will do it.

              Interesting video for a few of reasons. The email Purism sent Rossman is unbelievable.

                @Hog They build FREEDOM tech apparently so they believe in FREEDOM! One of those freedoms is the freedom not to send you the shit you ordered, because fuck it. Why do you hate FREEDOM? Also it’s based in San Francisco so it’s full of communists.

                    As a contractor/consultant, the large, multinational I work for requires that about half the work I do be done through a shatty RDP server box that’s shared by about 130 other plebes like me. It’s slow as fuck and was running Windows Server 2012. Even Chrome stopped updating some time ago and warned me every day that the OS was unsupported. It was just another sad little reminder every day about how much my employer hated its contractors.

                    Well, no more! I logged in this morning and they’d upgraded the machine! Welcome to the future, I thought as I watched it start up. Then I discovered they’d upgraded to Windows Server 2019 which came out in 2018 and will be out of support in a few months.

                          That’s how it works in the third world, you get all the shit that we don’t want. The onshore people are probably using Windows server 2025. If it makes you feel better, I will send you some Miami Dolphins 2022 Super Bowl Champions tshirts?

                                          Linus apparently mouthed off about Gamers Nexus the other day and they responded with a 45 minute smack down of LTT that is just absolutely devastating.
