People replying to this with "muh enterprise" don't understand that I can still plug in a Supermicro server with the correct power input, spin up Linux, and do whatever the hell I want with my giga ultra 8x NVlink GPU 2X Xeon CPU morbillion dollar server.

Now even though it will be sold for a measly couple thousand dollars after the collapse, it doesn't mean I can't burn through my unemployment savings to have fun lol.

I thought they were making complete bank by getting rid of their exclusives and going the open platform route (which everyone complained about)?

They did so well that Xbox became an irrelevant choice between PC and Playstation.

Plus they were doing delayed PC releases, so I don't really see how that would affect PS sales since the port would come out much later.

GitHub gets autoscanned by thousands of malicious actors for keys and credentials on every commit, including the comments lol.

The fact that CISA themselves never saw an automated breach attempt only minutes after pushing to github is the more interesting story here.

Either the contractor is so incompetent that they didn't have any logging set up and the breach went completely unnoticed for 6 months.

Or this really is some fat honeypot that they won't admit is a honeypot because they've been using it to watch or bait APTs.

Currently, there is no indication that any sensitive data was compromised as a result of this incident

This is literally impossible unless it really was a honeypot. You can demo this yourself in real time. Make a throwaway cloud account on your favorite provider, commit the cloud auth token into a repo, and you will see an automated bot login within minutes.

Commiting any secrets to a public repo should just be considered auto compromised because of how potent it is.

That stuff ususlly gets exposed via poor CI/CD permissions where credentials are required, but straight up file commit is like publicly announcing exactly where you left your house keys lol.

Cuba should just announce their intention to join the US as the 51st state and watch the administration do an overnight 180 just for shits n giggles lol.

There's no future where the US invades and doesn't just keep it as an occupied territory.

completely remote teams.

There were actually a lot of these in startup type companies before covid hit.

The best ones were the ones that treated whatever comm app they used like an open discord channel and not virtualized meetings lol.

The former generates the same social relationships as an office because its your typical meme/gossip/rant/catchup/work talk you would otherwise have with your coworkers.

But if it's the latter, every interaction is treated like a meeting which very quickly removes that type of communication, which is defnitley unhealthy for both you and the company at large since everyone gets treated as homogenous.

They're fun as fuck.

Some of the best pics I have are from an air show! f35

F-22 for life lol, 2000s era Lockheed tincan doesn't even look good after they threw all my tax money at it.

Stackoverflow was the reddit of online programming help lol.

Picking any forum would usually get you much better results.

Part of the Snowden leaks showed that the NSA had made exploits for a ton of vendors that abused vulnerable SMEs with special versions for various servers.

I think it was shortly afterwards that Intel downstream OEMs started offering a reduced/partially disabled ME for general government purchases only, which is how some of the custom ME disable projects work.

But the fact that neither Intel nor AMD bothers to explain why the ME needs to exist is insane, especially since it runs at ring -2 above ring -1 where the original boot process starts.

IME having a full network stack is crazy. Imagine telling people they have a complete hardcoded OS running on every machine with complete host and network access.

Someone has paid fat stacks to keep the media quiet, even after the massive vulnerability disclosures.

I heard nonstop reports about spectre and meltdown in the general news for a year, but I never heard a peep about SA-00086 or even the IME much later after its introduction.

No, its just that the current administration has been going around and depoting visa and greencard holders.

Even if he wanted to die on this hill, he could have easily chosen 3 much better options lmao.

Staring with any of these 3 in a measuring contest means America is already cooked.
