It didn't have any peripherals, I mean, like, external USB ones.

Google had the game in their hand and then they destroyed Hangouts.

I mean if you're on GSuite, fundamentally isn't a loss of control of your personal Gmail account just as likely as a loss of control of your professional account?

It does show how browsers offering cloud-synched password vaults without mandating 2FA to use that feature is grossly irresponsible.

2FA is, in my experience, the thing that would be blocking 99% of this kind of attack. Which shows how if you're regularly using something that doesnt have 2FA that should be a red flag. In this case it was 2 layers of that:

Their google account probably didn't have 2FA, and neither did that service account. Now obviously a service account generally won't have 2FA, but if you're regularly keying in service account credentials into a web browser something has gone wrong.

Okay, I'm willing to believe that Israel had a contingency plan ready to exploit the political leeway created if they were hit by a terrible attack. Like "if they kill a bunch of Israelis, this is our shopping-list of objectives to gain ground and kill targets in a time when the world can't criticize us". I would believe there are people in the Israeli military who are amoral enough to do that.

However, believing they looked the other way when they knew about an impending attack strains credulity.

And if you're believing they were active participants in orchestrating an attack on their own people? That means you need your tinfoil hat loosened.

When Rockstar Games is chewing you out about how you treat your employees you know you really screwed up.

Single letter variables, yes. Reusing them? No.

Exactly. If it's a statically typed language and the function has a clear name? I know what type it is, I know what it's for, I'm good.

There are far worse sins, like intermediate variables or worse, public class members named "obj" or "data".

Remember, Hitler's movement started in barroom brawls.

Refined form of Betteridge's law of headlines: if any headline asks "can Toronto" anything, the answer is definitely very no.

Twisted Metal 2 was the one where the series made its biggest hit on the PS1. 3 and 4 weren't made by singletrac, and while they were good games they didn't have the same style as the original two. The later games were after the industry had kind of moved on from that kind of game.

It's like Megaman -- there were a zillion Megaman games, but the ones that were biggest in the Zeitgeist were Megaman 2 and Megaman X.

They bought you a pipeline.

And Canadian oil leaves Canada. Increasing output may help global prices and petro-province revenue, but it won't do a thing for local prices.

And climate change is real.
