Top Story

The Kneecap Loophole: Twelve defendants have been sentenced over a highly technical criminal scheme to steal people's cryptocurrency. (DOJ)

The scheme worked like this: They'd break into your house, tie you up, and torture you until you gave up your password.

Yeah.
Further update to the Boeing strike story: I have a copy of the bargaining agreement, but it's 336 pages and I haven't had time to wade through it yet. There's certainly a lot more give and take than just a 25% pay rise.

Tech News

Intel's latest Ultra 7 258V laptop chip - coming out later this month - is 32% faster in some game benchmarks than AMD's previous generation Z1 Ultra chip used in handheld devices. (WCCFTech)

If - and this does rather matter - you turn the graphics off. With graphics on, the Z1 Ultra is slightly faster.

I'll wait for better benchmarks, thanks.
AMD's laptop chips are better on paper than anything from Intel, so why does Intel still dominate the laptop market? (Tom's Hardware)

Supply and support. AMD consistently lags on both critical points.
Underpromise and overdeliver: The NASA story. (Ars Technica)

NASA needs to get out of the rocket business and focus on building clever space robots.
Why Google scuttled its AI robot project after pouring untold millions of dollars into it. (Axios)

After seven years of effort the robots sorted trash during the day and improvised dances at night, like minimum wage workers on TikTok.

Beyond that, generative AI is a dumpster fire and giving it control of a physical body is just asking to have your eyeballs replaced with grapes to improve the colour balance in your group photo.
The Polaris Dawn mission is headed back for splashdown any moment now.

Update: The crew is currently talking about space pirates.

Update: Chutes deployed, looking good.

Update: Mission control reports that it is not a giant squid.

Disclaimer: Which would be particularly inconvenient if you're the one taking the photo.

I stumbled across this (from the rotating body stuff I was going about last thread). This is astronaut Don Pettit doing some very simple, yet utterly fascinating experiments in zero-g, including rotating bodies at the end. He also does some very fascinating stuff with floating bubbles of water, with and without air in them:

I hate how Grit expands a two-hour movie into a 2.5-hour or 3-hour slot with commercials, and runs the end credits of each film and TV show in a little window during the last scene so they can manage the above process. But -- they run some of the best non-woke movies ever made.

179 >>Good reason is subjective. The reason Yemen is still a functional terrorist zone is that our military bombed the wrong targets. (Intentionally) Also the pentagram is loath to send in the Marines giving its generals carte balnche to clean it up.

One of the first things Biden/Harris did when taking office was removing the Houthis from the terrorist sanction list. Someday we will learn why it was so important for Obama and Biden to bow down to Iran and it's terrorist proxies but everything that is now happening in the Middle East is due to their policy of Iran appeasement.

>>The states HAD a form of the EC, the supreme court killed that long ago. One reason we’re in this mess now.

The case touched on how house districts were apportioned and wasn't really an EC like setup.

What is absolutely constitutional would be an EC type system for statewide offices.

That would go along way of preventing a lot of Donks from gaining power.

183 Just to be tedious, but Yemen doesn’t need an invasion. The goal is to make them stop piracy and stop shooting missiles. So you send over the B2’s, you take out every power generation facility, you take out every fuel storage facility, you take out every port facility. You fly over at night and if you see a single light bulb in anywhere you blow iit up.

185 When Harris’s presidential campaign finally announced some policies on her homepage, one of her first promises was to “end sub-minimum wages for tipped workers and people with disabilities.”

This would shut down these workshops by outlawing tens of thousands of jobs. The people who run the workshops say this would leave most of their disabled workers without any work.

196 Good morning, you techies!

I have an old, suspicious lady question. When you scan a QR code with your phone, does any information get transferred besides just sending your browser to a website just like a web address would? There are QR codes all over campus and I'm reluctant to scan them because I don't want trackers or data stealing stuff or questionable downloads.

Obama with the College Sophomore Diplomacy ideas think a terrorist religious autocracy can provide some type of balance against the Democratic Western Civilization (Israel) in the Middle East. It is like having a Boy Scout Troup at the local Methodist Church or Knights of Columbus that services the community and deciding that a local bar with a killer biker gang will balance out the neighborhood.

This has been an issue in disability world for 50 years.

Democrats claim people without minimum productivity should somehow earn minimum wage. If they can't earn minimum wage, they shouldn't work at all.

Typical lib thinking. No loaf is better than half a loaf.

Have you noticed that some clothing donation orgs no longer accept repairable clothes? Used to be Goodwill would take them and give disabled people work to repair sellable items. Now, they only want near new unblemished clothing.

It makes me think that liberals do not realize the value of work vs. a rate of pay.
The value of work is a physical, mental, and emotional connection to your service to people.

204 The absolute classic - limousine liberals enacted a “Yacht Tax” in one of the NE states. (Maybe Maine, wherever John Kerry lives - he moved his yacht to a state without it.)

So they got their “stick it to the rich” Tax. That’ll show ‘em.

Well it sure did. What happened - thousands of middle class jobs - Yacht builders and support industries, yacht repair - all those careers went away. Stupid AF, but that’s who we are dealing with. Credentialed Idiots.

Massachusetts. He had his yacht which was built in NZ I believe delivered to the marina next to mine in Rhode Island. His boat was a tad more expensive than mine.

He got caught and shamed into moving it to MA and paying the tax he supported.

The affidavit will be released, come hell or high water. To my knowledge the whistleblower has not been killed, but I have not spoken with the since early yesterday. However, If needed,, I will redact the part of the affidavit myself and release it to the public. I am aware of legal process servers attempted to serve me papers at my home and at my camp.

This is Stalin and Hitler fighting 1:1 and with no Poland in between. Given that the strike will especially hurt the economy in leftist PNW in an election year, it's like Christmas came early and I'm getting a Red Rider BB gun after all.

There's just so much awesome packed into that fight.
