Yes, it's forbidden fruit.

A big chunk of the US military's budget is on very expensive US healthcare. Something like 7% of the military's annual budget is health expenses, and that doesn't even include the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides health care to veterans.

A zero day is an exploit that has been identified by someone but not yet used.

I've always understood that the counting of days comes from the vendor's knowledge. So any exploit from before Google was aware of the vulnerability would be a zero day.

It wouldn't make any sense to refer to the days counted from when an attacker first discovers the vulnerability, because by definition any vulnerability in active exploitation wouldn't be a zero day.

disclosed active exploitation

So, not a fucking zero day.

I'm confused. Isn't an active exploit that hasn't been patched yet, by definition, a zero day? So the release of a new patch that closes an actively exploited vulnerability patches a zero-day?

Remind me of who won that war?

I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians won that one too.

If you're looking in the library for books that are at least 100 years old, you're generally only going to see the ones that people thought were worth preserving for 100 years.

If you're training your image generation model with stock photographs, you're generally only going to be giving it images of people who are literally models. Not all models are beautiful, but they're probably more beautiful on average than the general population.

Ah I see you've seen me watch professional sports

As the article notes, writers for her show are governed under a separate contract which was not being struck.

No, you're misunderstanding that portion of the article.

The Actors agreement allows talk shows to continue with SAG/AFTRA members, but the writers strike covered the writers on the show. They tried to restart production without writers (which is possible, Late Night did it in the last writers strike).

So even though the Actors strike is still happening, shows like this can use union actors (like Drew Barrymore) now. And they can use union writers now, too, because the writers strike is over.

The subscription fee was for a gamepass-like access to a catalog of free games, so they didn't refund that. The subscription fee also wasn't required for playing purchased games (although it was required for 4K quality).

especially with a controller

I mostly used keyboard and mouse with the service, since the games I like to play tend to work better with keyboard and mouse. I had a dinky underpowered laptop but was playing AAA PC-oriented games through the browser interface. It was great.

I'm on GeForce Now these days but I find that it doesn't work quite as seamlessly as Stadia did.

All GPUs perform equally well the same at ray tracing when there are no rays to trace

I've seen it for keypads that have to send a signal to an actuator located elsewhere, but I think the typical in-door deadbolt (where the keypad is mere millimeters from the motor itself) wouldn't have the form factor leaving the connection as exposed to a magnet inducing a current that would actually actuate the motor.

Most of LPL's videos on smart locks just defeat the mechanical backup cylinder, anyway. I'd love to see him take on the specific Yale x Nest model I have, though.

Yup. The backup for battery failure on this model is that the bottom of the plate can accept power from the pins of a 9V battery, held there just long enough to punch in the code.
