A threat actor installing software specifically designed to log and monitor attacks from threat actors would be considered a blunder, no?

Yeah or I could just use Apple Music or Tidal or any other competing services

They made hotlinking increasingly difficult, turned the site into a social network and sold ads against content. It is no longer a "image hosting site" the way it was back then, it was going bankrupt as well.

Yeah, that's it! I remember Min.us because they had a larger file size limit so you could actually post GIFs there where longer ones wouldn't upload to Imgur.

Incase has purchased/assumed Microsoft's accessory business and is manufacturing their ergonomic line of keyboards again, if that's your thing.

Same issue here. Just no power at all.

You could also just load up the website on an iPad with an Apple Pen.

That was the iPhone Mini! Same internal specs as the regular iPhone, smaller package, roughly same battery life. And it's gone because no one wanted it.

Oh brother

From my experience working on Mac laptops, yeah. SSD failures are incredibly rare but on the flip side when they do go out repairs are very costly.

I know if my previous job at a large hard drive manufacturer we had special Apple drives that ran different parts and firmware than the regular PC drives. Their specs and tolerances where much different than the PC market at a whole.

Yes, they moved all their batteries away from glued adhesives to "Command Strips" pull-tab style adhesive pads. Same pads have been on the laptops for a bit as well. The latest iPhone also rotated the guts to where the battery is easier to get to and does not require removal of the logic board.

Also just LLMs getting more efficient in general can lead to the end of the GPU buying frenzy

> Shame it all got so political. I don't blame Musk for that - he is just a CEO who is open about his politics. I blame the Left for being completely intolerant of anyone and any company that doesn't strictly adhere to their ideology.

You don't blame the man who did a Nazi salute on stage at a political rally?

Singe core scores between the A18 Pro and M4 are pretty identical, it's the multicore and GPU where the M series excels

Main article about the rumors of a low-cost Macbook here [0], this is a related article confirming that recent code supports the existence of said MacBook.

Apple has long sought to get back into the education market is once ruled before it was decimated by the launch of the Chromebook. A low-cost, plastic Macbook with stripped down features only available to the EDU market wouldn't be a bad play. They made EDU-only models before (sold the white Macbook long after it left general availability), and the A18 Pro chip has similar single-core performance to the M4 so if they can get the rest of the cost down it might be a hit.

I sub to Apple News+. Give a good mix of papers and magazines, and a lot of long form articles are broken out and highlighted in their own features.

Yes I'm sure the people responsible for the website front end will get right on that.

Mozilla owns Fakespot. Fakepost is pretty unreliable and assigning a score to something so difficult to rank isn't a great model.

Sounds like OpenAI is basically just becoming a client of LoveFrom, Ive's design firm.

6.5b to spruce up a chat box. Unbelievable.

Every detailed blurb on the breach that I've seen says "Passwords stored as" and lets you know how they were encrypted.

The attackers bribed customer service agents to hand over data and documents, they were not breached directly. It's possible this stuff may have been handed over before being destroyed.

Looking at their blog post, it seems like they paid customer support agents to hand over sensitive data. The attackers did not have access to any agent accounts themselves, and the customer service agents were accessing data they were already privileged to anyways.

If you search for "HP Support" or "Dell Phone Number" you will get a scam site 50% of the time now.

Exactly. And when you try and help these people and explain that you didn't actually call Ticketmaster support they will tell you that they found the phone number on the official Ticketmaster website and Google said it was a verified link.

Here's a real example from the same thing happening on FB (don't call that number) https://i.redd.it/w9htjqflgjle1.jpeg

Not necessarily, if you have an affiliate program or something like that you could buy ads for, say, eBay using your affiliate link in the hopes of you generating more profit than the ads cost.

I've noticed on some scam forums and subreddits I frequent that scammers have been using target site's own support searches to redirect users to scam phone numbers.

On both Ticketmaster and Facebook, and many other sites, when you perform a search on their support site it spits back your query in big letters at the top of the page. If you craft the correct search and then buy Google Ads pretending to be Ticketmaster, then you can redirect users to your call center and scam them. And because they link for your ad actually links to Ticketmaster the ad passes validation and appears to be a legit link in the eyes of Google.

Example of a crafted search term: https://help.ticketmaster.com/hc/en-us/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93...

The vast amount of warehousing in SoCal is in the Inland Empire, the logistics capital of the country, not LA proper. There's very little warehousing being done in LA and there's still ample land in the IE and high desert areas. It should have zero effect on housing prices in the area, they already moved further inland since ecommerce took off 20 years ago and only accelerated since the pandemic.

Yeah, with the exception of the bed size, the Maverick is only ~4in longer and wider than the 2000s era Ranger. It's a pretty close match.

The base model Ford Maverick XL exists and is the truck that 95% of most people need.
