If anybody needs a catch up on the facts of this case:

My 6.5yo is playing it with me and he loves it. We got the DLC edition or whatever and are level 50 about to play the final boss of the main game, haven’t reached the Stronghold yet or any of the DLC.

There’s a bit of a learning curve, but so far I’ve been able to teach my son that Green(Rare) and Orange (Unique) are better than Common (Grey). For items and gear, higher level items are almost always better, for pools of mobs he’s better off kiting and using ranged attacks.

He can’t read much yet, so I have to explain what the enchantments are and he’ll upgrade if he likes them.

I like the game way more than Minecraft Legends.

The DoD will soon be requiring itself and Contractors to start following Rev 5 of the NIST SP 800-53 Risk Management Framework. In this revision are more robust controls for Supply-side security, which the DoD has been trying to incorporate for over 10 years.

Americans should know that the military and DOD and it’s contractors do their best to purchase authentic hardware from reputable vendors, but there are exceptions and alternate procurement allowances if the need is great and the standard more secure lines are unavailable or simply on back order.

It’s usually then that some of the fake hardware makes it into use

NSA requires the use of a industrial shredder that can grind the components into pieces less than 2mm.

If you can’t do that, you should incinerate the drive at over 700 degrees.

As far as wiping goes, a 3 pass overwrite alternating 0s and 1s is good enough as long as it’s done over the entire drive, not just the partition.

BCWipe is good enough for this

'C’s get degrees.

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

You can teach the job, you can’t teach personality.

If the world is going to shit, and you can’t or won’t do anything about it, why worry about it.

Did you use a guide to configure it all? I’d love to get started but networking has always been a weak spot for me

Is Gmail still the preferred email address to use on resumes?

Joe is a self-admitted Zionist. He’s also a U.S. President and unfortunately for the Palestinians, U.S. hegemony in the Middle East is entirely predicated on a stable U.S.-friendly Country (i.e Israel) in the region.

“If we didn’t have an Israel, we’d probably have to make one.” ~Joe Biden

It’s a shit-trap, for any POTUS regardless of their personal beliefs

What’s the vision for this game? In my mind it’s like they want to create some massive P2W MMOFPS that somehow casuals will want to play despite some whales having paid into it for 10 years for game breaking advantages?

I admit I know little about the game, I’m just not sure how they’re going to attract that user base.

You got Mail Mail!

If you’re gonna pay for Antivirus, shout out to ESET NOD32.

They have gotten a bit expensive though. I’m buying a 1 year sub for $10 on Black Friday.

Like most Chinese products I wouldn’t trust their quality or their customer support, and would expect the thing to spy on me 24/7.

China… because China is a black hole of information and will steal anything and everything for hegemonic advantage. If that DNA belongs to family or friends of powerful people, that could lead to a future blackmail advantage

Russia, because fuck the West.

“The .1%” “Billionaires” “Trust Fund babies”

Step 1. Russia admits it’s losing the war in Ukraine… Continue to send Russian men to the meat grinder because Putin gonna Putin.

Step 2. Make tentative pacts with Iran, North Korea, and China (On the down-low) to provide equipment and continue funding the war.

Step 3. Apply leverage to compromised GOP assets to halt U.S. war funding.

Step 4. Supply Iran with Intelligence gained from compromised and twice-impeached U.S. President Donald Trump about how to attack Israel, and convince them to provide that to Hamas to provoke a war.

Step 5. Continue back-channelling with China to increase threats or even encourage invasion of Taiwan.

Step 6. Hope that the U.S. has to use war funds to choose between protecting Taiwan, supporting Israel or supporting Ukraine.

Step 7. Ramp up support for far-right candidates in key Ukraine-supporting allies elections, including U.S. France and Germany.

Step 8. Attempt to win war of attrition against Ukraine as funding/manpower dries up for Ukraine.

I was on reddit for 12 years. My time spent on that platform and posting directly correlates to when I first found it (posted a lot) vs. when I quit earlier this year.

Reddit in it’s infancy was great and the users and the subreddits, with a few notable exceptions were great too.

Once it got too big/popular… About 6 years ago you could note the decline and quality of the posting

It’s aimed at the U.S. Government. There’s been an absolutely massive shift to get to Windows 10, updating systems as old as Windows 2000 to get there. MS advertised Windows 10 as their final OS, eventually backtracking and releasing Windows 11 and will continue to make iterative releases in the future. But for a moment The Government believed it and thought it was a great time to bite the bullet and go all in. Now that most major systems are upgraded to W10, it’s doubtful from my perspective that U.S.G. will be able to support or migrate to W11 or even W12, meaning they will most likely pay a lot of money over many many years to keep MS providing security updates for the W10 platform.

This app refuses to run on my TI-86 from 2004. Devs please fix.

Y’all are also smart enough to know and prohibit retailers from boosting prices just before discounting them to trick consumers into thinking they’re getting a huge deal when they’re actually paying average, or above average cost for the product.
