The point about ‘educating users’ being dumb is itself incredibly stupid, because the largest element of hacking is social engineering: the letter from a nigerian prince, the zip file from an attractive person with ‘my hot photos enclosed’, to today’s calls from government impersonators (tax agency, immigration), and emergency requests from close known contacts that ‘urgently need money wired to them’.

Education has gone a long way to improving user response and caution against default trust of unverified contact, which is essentially what the first two points complain about from a technical aspect (default allow). Those complaints are at odds with one-another.

Just more subterfuge dressed up as genuine concern - always to drive the investor hype machine for fear there is no more money for investment.

I’ve been unable to replicate this issue.

I have the exact same build except my network card is an official Playstation 2 network adapter. Try replacing the LLM.

Oh right, I didn’t know they had a web version I only saw the local edition. Glad to be corrected.

I don’t know for sure, but my magic 8-ball says ‘signs point to yes’ if that helps.

Nah this new Euro-Office is literally a OnlyOffice fork according to their GitHub. It’s much closer in comparison to LibreOffice than Google docs.

They have worked with NextCloud to make Euro-Office an app/add-on (I forget what NextCloud calls them specifically) from this release (v1.0), so that they can integrate with a platform that already… Has this feature (with Collabora office), but hey… The more the merrier.

NextCloud is a contributor, I believe the screenshot they’re using is to show that Euro-Office can be used as an integration/app in NextCloud as of now.

Euro-Office seems based mostly on OnlyOffice if I’m reading their source page correctly. It’s a competor to LibreOffice more than a whole platform.

“[This new amendment is] proposed by the same lawmaker who wrote the original law”

Woah. I guess the people who overreacted and claimed this was a secret conspiracy to gain full personal ID of everyone on the internet in some grand globalist scheme must be feeling pretty silly right now.

To those fretting: there is a wide margin between a legit VPN service and these guys. Interpol are not coming for your paid run-of-the-mill VPN provider.

I hadn’t even heard of 1VPN prior to this story, and the reason is that they advertise almost exclusively on cybercrime forums - mentioned multiple times in the article.

The administration/owner of this VPN service explicitly tailored their business to enabling cybercrime. That’s real stupid, because it means you become a legitimate law enforcement target as an accomplice with prior knowledge / facilitator to a crime, and generally explicitly waives your immunity rights as a service provider under legal frameworks like EU DSA.

Dutch police stressed that this particular VPN service “was considered criminal, because it specifically targeted cyber criminals.”

First VPN “mainly advertised on the cyber criminal forums known to the police and thus expressly approached cyber criminals as potential clients,” Dutch police said. “The website of the service also stated that any cooperation with the judiciary would be denied, that the service was not subject to any jurisdiction".

Lol. There is no country on earth that is not subject to any jurisdiction - as the VPN provider and users found out.

Any legit VPN has a thorough ToS/policy to explain acceptable and unacceptable use of their systems (including any illlegal use like crimes/DDOS/etc), and to cover the legal jurisdiction they fall under and what they do when recieving legal court orders.

If anything, be pissed that this intentional cybercrime service tarnished the concept of VPNs a little, not that they were pursued and busted. Your legit provider is safe.

Fantastic outcome. Great to see people striking when their concerns are not answered and unions coordinating.

How is a ‘lifetime pass’ a subscription? 🤔

Six months of exposure.

There is zero chance that the CISA systems have not been comprehensively breeched by every foreign adversary.

Good thing Trump cut 1/4 of their workforce last year. It’s really paying dividends for Putin.

This is really damning evidence of AI’s vaporware benefits tbh.

As LLMs key functionality is supposed to be their ability to take a body of work (training data) and then take natural language input to deliver valuable and accurate natural language outputs, automated helpdesk and call centers are supposedly their absolute bread-and-butter low challenge implementation cases.

And yet… Here we are. They still aren’t anywhere near the quality or value of just hiring people.

Was running VMs for various learning courses etc for work.

It still runs about 80% nowadays with no VMs running and just with the amount of browser tabs and background shit I leave running.

I still play Helldivers 2 on this long-toothed beast, but I do have to live with a fairly low framerate and make sure I don’t leave too many processes open in the background (its a CPU intensive hodgepodge of a game engine). Most other newish games work fine in 1080p to be honest. I haven’t been keeping up with the latest and greatest either.

Modest framerate don’t bother me much because I’m from the era of 320x240 games.

At this point my main PC is a ‘classic car’ of gaming. EVGA GTX 1070, z170 mobo, 64GB DDR4 RAM, i7 6700k.

First bitcoin made graphics cards double in price just when I was looking to upgrade my gfx, then a wider crypto wave, tarrifs, then a pandemic, then more tariffs, and then AI made everything rapidly wildly expensive.

My usual upgrade process of “waiting for prices to become reasonable around the 5-6 year mark” has proven to be a bad plan for this period…

It was Experts Exchange. Then they paywalled everything like greedy idiots - hiding decades of useful community knowledge.

Then everyone moved rapidly to StackExchange, which had coexisted but been quite small until EE did their thing.

Pretty 🥹

Yeah… I don’t drink Coke often but I like caffeine free diet coke / coke zero. I don’t want the sugar and I don’t need caffeine.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Yes but think of all the jobs they’ll be earning by attracting META to build in their state with those massive tax writeoffs… In their… Automated… Very lightly staffed datacenter…
