Reusing credentials is their fault. Sure, 23&me should've done better, but someone was likely to get fucked, and if you're using the same password everywhere it is objectively your fault. Get a password manager, don't make the key the same compromised password, and stop being stupid.

If anything not literally written in the constitution is really up to the states, you are not really a country. You are a bunch of separate countries that happen to have an identical constitution.

That's literally the idea.

Want an honest answer?

Onboard are >=2 bits of code. At least one of those is a specific system trained to recognize a "wake word". This specific system (ostensibly) doesn't send anything to an outside party. Its entire job is to recognize one wake phrase: Alexa, Ok Google, or Siri, and then if that wake phrase is used it responds and tells the second system to listen. As you can imagine, this is a pretty easy job to get right 80% of the time. So that can be put on a chip. So then it does its job, and it's the second system that sends everything to an internet service for whatever reason.

Well then, anyone have this code archived? Time to make sure it makes it to torrent networks. The only way we render the DMCA irrelevant is to make it useless.

Make sure to keep the checksums in place.

Yeah "it does nothing but downloads torrents" is the selling point. It's the reason I exclusively use Transmission.

You're not entirely wrong, but you're quite misguided. Personal accountability has to matter, but a society that lets its children starve isn't a society worth preservation.

I'm saying this as one of those people who would vote Republican if they had opted for Mitt Romney back in the day.

Kids deserve to be fed. There's no condition to that, ever. If a kid is going hungry and I have a way to fix that I'll do it. Do I think government is the right way, or even one that's effective? They're clearly not. But if it'll feed those kids one more day I'll gladly devote our entire war budget to do it, and I'd even eat a tax increase as long as I know that's where it's going.

Unity's recent fuck up is a massive boon for them, I really hope they can capitalize on it. This is one of those moments that only happens once, if they push their development and marketing over the next 12 to 18 months they can snag a really significant share of the market and use it to vault themselves to the next go-to engine.

Well that's just uncalled for

It's wholly within their rights to refuse service to anyone for any reason. I hope they stick to their.. well, I guess "stick to their guns" doesn't really work here but whatever.

As one of the tech workers: fuck yeah, good for them for negotiating well, and getting what they're owed.

Always heard it as goats. There's probably some sexy clowns out there.
