Use a password manager. And create a passphrase type password for it so it's easier to remember. Then you will have a unique password for everything, while only needing to remember one of them. And since you will use it daily, it's impossible to forget.

It seems like UK is only doing this to comply with the UN court order and paying off local officials to still keep their base there while ignoring the harm caused to local natives of the island.

They refused to allow natives to get involved in the talks when the draft was negotiated, and now again refused to allow them to participate when the final version is being written. Typical colonialist behavior.

Not if the storage is encrypted. That's why vulnerabilities in operating systems/kernel are so impactful, as they can bypass that encryption.

 

Wikipedia has a new initiative called WikiProject AI Cleanup. It is a task force of volunteers currently combing through Wikipedia articles, editing or removing false information that appears to have been posted by people using generative AI.

 

A recent data breach is not the only way that Internet Archive users have been left vulnerable online.

 

Even though the final UEC 1.0 specification is due in Q1 2025.

 

Cranking up the power.

 

Jerico Pictures, the data brokerage company operating as National Public Data, recently filed for bankruptcy in the Southern District of Florida. The organization was compromised by a cybercriminal group known as "USDoD," which listed a massive trove of personal information for sale on the dark web at the discounted price of $3.5 million.

Yeah, it's wild to me that desktop operating systems don't encrypt storage by default. Both iOS and Android do.

 

AMD Instinct MI325X has officially launched.

 

Work on Intel's 3rd-generation Xe architecture has already begun.

 

Up to 12 Zen 5 cores with AI and business features.

 

The chair said Trump’s threats “should not be ignored.”

 

According to Panasonic, the Lumix S 18-40mm zoom lens is the world's smallest and lightest autofocus-compatible interchangeable zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. The zoom range can even be extended to 18-120mm with the Hybrid Zoom function on the Lumix S9. It has a closest shooting distance of 5.9 inches (15 cm), allowing photographers to capture macros in all their glory.

 

It “poses a credible risk to public safety,” report says.

 

Microsoft is aware of the issue and promises to release a patch.

“Nothing Netanyahu could say could change my mind,” she said. “He is a criminal, an assassin, he cannot leave one child alive.”

It's good to see some real reporting from mainstream Western media of what people actually think instead of paid "experts".

The firm says no additional details can be shared with the public as long as the investigations are ongoing, noting that it is working with an external specialist to determine whether any personal data or other confidential information was stolen in the attack.

Lebanese people are not labelled terrorist by any country. With the exceptions of Israel, of course. But even Israel doesn't dare to state that directly, so they instead claim all killed civilians as Hezbollah operatives. But their global standing is nonexistent since they are actively committing a genocide against Palestinian people at the moment. They will be remembered as the next Nazis in the history books.

If you are either uneducated or brainwashed enough to believe that a 3-year-old or 5-year-old child is a Hezbollah operative, there is no helping you.

Also, the same can be said for the terrorist state of Israel. Should anyone believe any of their claims since they are known for terrorist attacks?

Sure, exclude them. Precise numbers are irrelevant here, as they don't change the basic facts. The simple fact is that Linux is stuck at 1.5%, and you are not able to dispute it, so instead you try to shift the argument to something else.

39.20% of Linux users on Steam are on Steam Deck. Tell me again, it's not inflated... And based on data, that doesn't translate into wider Linux adoption for gaming.

Indeed, Linux developers unhappy with a single GUI shouldn't create different ones, since Linux just works too.

Half the news networks republishes Reuters content. Instead of using Reuters link, I used VOA, since they don't break embedded metadata. The content is identical. If you had an issue with the content or primary source, that would have been one thing, but instead you had to showcase your ignorance, or alternatively you deliberately tried to inflame a controversy out of nothing.

If only it was true. Sadly, the source is Reuters, not VOA.
