  • AirTag hidden in luggage forces tourists to change vacation plans

    Just do what I do, stay home and stare at the wall.

  • This could be the first real leak of Apple VR headset components

    That’s a fascinating insight into an upcoming product. And by that I mean WTF AI who gives a crap about a ribbon cable that may or may not be part of a product that may or may not be an unreleased Apple product. Color me unimpressed on this one.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
    Sure, if you can point to a successful, truly socialist economy that ever worked. That would require a voluntary rejection of the lust for power and the greed for possessions.  Human nature always seems to screw that up. Forced socialism, aka communism, still resulted in a hierarchy of elites looking down on the proletariat as we have seen in those 20th century experiments. Remember all those five year plans the Soviets insisted would result in prosperity? Remember the Russian sarcasm about “They pretend to to pay us and we pretend to work” jokes. European socialism is capitalism on a leash with a social component, and then only because they have depended on the military might of the U.S. since WWII for their security. Even though NATO requires them to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense they have not done so. They had plenty of money to spend on social programs.
    Whenever you post about politics you really show your fox “news” brainwashing. So yes, European “socialism” is really capitalism with social programs and government oversight. I have news for you, that’s exactly what the US runs on. Have you heard of social security? For frack’s sake it has SOCIAL in its name. SEC, FAA, FDA… Regulatory bodies to control businesses and preserve the common good.
    Do you want roads, working hospitals with safe medicine, airplanes that don’t fall from the sky, safe food, clean air and water? That’s not what out of control capitalism brings. A perfect example is the price of insulin, a perfectly easy and inexpensive drug to produce that has seen its price artificially inflated IN THE US ONLY to the point some people died because they could no longer afford it.
    Sorry for the rant, please don’t post stupid things, thanks.

  • The LastPass hack saga just keeps getting worse

    "This was accomplished by targeting the DevOps engineer's home computer and exploiting a vulnerable third-party media software package, which enabled remote code execution capability and allowed the threat actor to implant keylogger malware," LastPass wrote. "The threat actor was able to capture the employee's master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer's LastPass corporate vault."

    So a LastPass DevOps engineer let a third party malware package onto his personal computer. That right there tells you the whole story. The solution is to FIRE the engineer and escort him out the door. He's one or both of two things: incompetent or a mole. If the second, prosecute him as well. Then pay more attention to who has access to your IP.
    I don't see how that's going to help the victims. But boy am I glad I never used their services.
