College grades have become a charade. It's time to abolish them. (MSN)

The colleges? Sounds good to me.
If everyone outside hard-core engineering, math or pre-med courses can easily get an A, the whole system loses meaning. It fails to make distinctions between different levels of achievement or to motivate students to work hard on their academic pursuits. All the while, it allows students to pretend–to themselves and to others–that they are performing exceptionally well. Worse, this system creates perverse incentives. To name but one, it actively punishes those who take risks by enrolling in truly challenging courses.
All true, if somewhat less daring than I had hoped.

The proposal is that every course be reduced to pass/fail. Which is better than the current situation, but doesn't actually fix the problem.

I like my plan better.

Tech News

Threads is full of exactly the sort of tiresome idiots you mute on Twitter. (Werd)

Full of them.

Thank you for your service, Facebook. You truly took one for the team.
Cisco has warned that there is a backdoor admin account in its own license managing tool. (Bleeping Computer)

The tool Cisco provides to manage your software licenses for the hardware you bought from Cisco also allows anyone nearby to break into your network. If you're dumb enough to leave the license manager open to the internet, you're toast.

(And there are lots of people who are exactly that dumb. They post on Threads.)
Godot - an open source library for game developers - desperately hoped that Unity wouldn't commit suicide. (Game Developer)

As we covered at the time, Unity did indeed commit suicide, implementing a new payment structure that could easily cost more than 100% of a game's revenue.

Godot is one of Unity's main competitors, but it is a less polished library built by a smaller team, so taking on all those developers fleeing Unity was going to be a struggle, and they knew it.

Makes me like the Godot team all the more.

(Also, it's officially pronounced however you want.)
Lenovo's latest Thinkpad Carbon X1 (Gen 13) is almost a good laptop. (Liliputing)

Well, it is a good laptop (though not a cheap one). Intel's latest Lunar Lake CPU, up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 14" 2880x1800 OLED display. Those screens are great.

And it has the Four Essential Keys. Not in my preferred arrangement, but they are all there.

And it weighs less than 1kg.

What's not to like?

Two things: First, pricing starts at $1999. This is not in the same ZIP code as cheap.

Second, Lunar Lake. Apart from the fact that you cannot upgrade the RAM, ever, it is not all that fast. We haven't seen the numbers yet, but with just four P cores and four E cores, and no hyper-threading, even if its single-core performance is extraordinary it is unlikely to outperform a four year old Ryzen 5800U for multi-threaded tasks.

And I already have a four year old Ryzen 5800U. Well, the very slightly updated 7730U, but it's the same silicon.
Google is now facing another antitrust case, this time in the online advertising market. (The Verge)

This is the gold standard of "let's you and him fight".
An AI company's misconfigured server exposed 5TB of patient mental health records. (HackRead)

This includes full patient identification - names, addresses, drivers licenses, insurance information; medical records including health conditions, family histories, and traumatic experiences; test results and prescription medications; and audio and video recordings of therapy sessions.

All sitting on a server connected directly to the internet without a password.

This is the worst security fuckup I have ever seen. Whether the data was stolen is unknown - it was discovered by a security researcher - and will not be known unless or until the data starts circulating on the Dark Web.
Sony's $100 million woke flop Concord is now deceased, having failed to reach 1000 players in the entire world in the ten days since release.

Meanwhile Valve's competing game Deadlock, which you cannot buy, has had zero advertising, and has not even been announced yet, has over 170,000 players. (Tweaktown)

All you need to do is not actively hate your customers.

Don’t worry, they’ve learned nothing and announced “Fairgame$”, where you play as a black thief to a hip hop soundtrack. (Paging Ryan Long, they’re doing the “wokes and racists believe the same thing” thing again).

The marketing is that you only steal from a bad billionaire with the initials “E.M.”, so it’s ok. Also “fight the power and please buy all our microtransactions”. I’ve already seen it called “AOC Simulator”.

The entire book, 3 whole chapters, is about the day of the Lord. If you've studied eschatology for yourself much at all you can't help but see verses and passages from numerous other books.

85 Found 3 sedans and 1 coupe, a '50. There's good pics on the coupe, it's in Oregon and supposedly bone dry.

$12.5 asking, that is a decent price. I may have a pro inspect it.

What color inside and out? Or do you plan to repaint it anyway, and re-upholster the interior? In which case I recommend a deep ruby red or dark navy blue, and a beige interior!

The Buick's tires need checking and possibly adjusting to 34-35 psi. No need to gas up; gas prices are slipping downward, and I've burned less than half a tank since Monday. After five years the big car continues to amaze me: A highway run yields 30 mpg or a bit more even with A/C on, and I see about 22 during a commuting week with little highway time. And this is on regular 87 w/ some E0 mixed in.

Wow. I went to look at the article, clicked through to another article discussing the debacle, and see that they even managed to prominently use a rainbow in marketing.

https://tinyurl.com/59ta4enf

That's either on purpose or just another example of horrible incompetence by people who don't realize that they're advertising "This game is super gay" or "This game intends to dance naked in front of your children"

It's Sony, and I remember reading that the game tells you the characters pronouns, so I assume it's on purpose.

Erebus, that was happening to me about 7 years back. Wake up between 1 and 2 and zoom. Every night. Getting only around 4 hours sleep.

Sounds like a perfect example. Maybe we'll see it, and you, in a future issue of one of the classic car magazines! How far away is it? Would you have to have it shipped -- or could you fly out and drive it home?

I'm an auto transmission guy, so if I were to look for a "classic," I'd be limited to cars and trucks with an autobox. But as Ben Had pointed out a week or two ago, there are early '80s-'90s Ford and Chevy trucks in good shape out there.

After using the widow's 12" Dewalt at her place I got myself one. Very handy. Have an 8" limb come down, I grab it instead of horsing around the 16" Stihl gas meter.
Not as fast of course but a lot lighter for this skinny, old man.

The vast overwhelming number of games are derivative, woke and crap, which is why gaming is dying a similar death to movie and television.

The zenith for gaming was around 2012 when Minecraft was released, it's been a steady decline for the last 4 years.

I expect it to crash and burn completely within the next 5 years.

My boys are going, but I am never going to jump thru any hoops again for the organization that used to be known as the "Boy Scouts of America".

Right before Covid we went on a trip to SA that included a visit to a reclaimed area north of Durban. Spectacular place.

I agree that they're very rare but I've known pastors who have MDiv degrees as well as a Masters degree in counseling and they were not leftists.

168 In local news, "the Harris-Walz Presidential Campaign bus tour made a stop in Macon on Friday, focusing on reproductive rights.

The "Fighting for Reproductive Freedom" tour rolled into Macon today after leaving Savannah.

The goal of the Harris-Walz camp is to let Georgians know they stand in support of reproductive freedom and will work to restore abortion in all 50 states."

Ghouls. They have a big bus that says "Reproductive Freedom" on the side. This is the kind of shit they are so very proud of.

What else can they run on? The economy? Foreign policy? The border? So they have to get the AWFL vote out. And if there's a group that suffers from herd mentality, it's AWFLs.

The local news covered the event, and interviewed some attendees that you would think by looking at them are in no danger at all of being impregnated.

181 In my AOR the Boy Scout troops sell bags of mulch (at a very reasonable price) and deliver it to my driveway.
(Funny how none of the female members of the troop are ever visible on delivery days.)

It's a much better value than a box of cookies.

I must have spent two hours last night looking for a training class that is not quite a requirement, but highly recommended for Cub Scout Den Leaders.
DE, MD, VA, PA, and NJ were in scope for my search.

From the looks of things, such classes are routinely scheduled for the first weekend of a month, and I have nothing but conflicts on those dates between now and year's end. So, April it is.

189 It's not the Boy Scouts anymore. It's just "Scouts". Boys are not allowed to be boys in the "Scouts".

I say that knowing that some local troops are trying hard to do basic Boy Scout stuff despite what the national organization imposes. Good on them for doing what they can to counter the insane leftists. I couldn't put up with the rules myself.

190 Starliner cabin stats is a point of interest. Did the cabin maintain an environment capable of supporting human life? Oxygen levels, toxic chemical levels, temperature; those are are important pieces of information.

198 "Hard-core engineering".
That implies the e instance of "soft-core engineering". Now, I don't want to hear from from ChemEs nominating the Civil guys or the EEs nominating the Mech department, but does anyone here have an idea of what cirricula is soft-core?
The only thing I could come up with was the administrative Trojan horse called "Engineering Education", but I'm not sure that qualifies.

They're really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for novices.
May you please prolong them a little from next time?
Thank you for the post.
