This is your daily reminder that the “S” in “IOT” stands for “Security.”

It’s a grifter matryoshka doll

I think this is as much an indictment about how shitty and formulaic most podcasts are as opposed to strictly an AI hellworld thing

That one was hilarious and a beautiful train wreck, and is part of why I am genuinely sad that she has thrown in her lot with Democratic Party ghouls.

I want to see what it can do with a 2-hour Contrapoints video essay.

On the not-as-bright side, OP will be less equipped with material for a diss track, and will find himself unable to team up with Baby Gronk against Costco Guys and The Rizzler.

Rewriting the interface to firewalld in JQuery as a joke was not okay

It is definitely by design. The current generations from both manufacturers are absurdly efficient at dissipating heat from the die. The 3D cache layer knocks off some thermal headroom, but the modern chips are smart enough to thermal throttle before they hit their rated thermal ceiling. This is part of why undervolting is so effective with the AM4 and AM5 chips. For what it’s worth, the AM4 Ryzens do not have temp spikes like this. And Intel seems to be hell-bent on making toaster ovens…

Weird that a Haswell i7 would run that hot – unless I’m misremembering, you might have had one with the shitty thermal paste between the die and IHS; it wasn’t an issue on all Haswell and Ivy Bridge chips, but they definitely had some QC issues with the paste drying out during those generations. I also had a 4790k in a workstation machine that I tricked work into paying for, and even on just a 120mm AIO (without the delid/liquid metal treatment), it still stayed below 60-65C during thermal torture tests (Linpack and Prime95 small FFTs). Maybe I did delid it and bring in some spare LM from home; it was a long time and several dead brain cells ago.

uBlock Origin will continue to work as usual across other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Opera, and more.

Cross-play with friends on console, mainly. Otherwise, yeah, my preferred edition is Java.

1. When launching Microsoft-occupied Minecraft, it kills all sound to my main audio device until I change the audio sampling rate. As soon as I change the sample rate, sounds start playing as if they were queued up and waiting for the device. Exclusive mode is disabled, but it does this either way. Could be a Realtek/Nahimic driver issue, but it only ever happens with MC Bedrock Edition, and the game is fine after that until I relaunch.
2. “Sleep mode” is more of a gentle suggestion than anything that actually puts my PC into a sleep state. There are no active wake timers, and the power event history shows fuck all. It just wakes up after 20-30 seconds for no reason sometimes. On occasion, putting it back to sleep several times will make it stop.
3. …I can’t really think of a #3 that is software-related. I knew what I was getting into when I set this thing up with Windows 11, and I think I’ve got Microsoft’s bullshit fairly well locked down, at least until the next major update reverts all of my unenshittification settings and resurrects Copilot and Edge spyware.

Now, hardware-wise? Let’s just say that AM5 is a strange, strange beast. Even with direct-die water cooling, temps regularly spike into the 70s just while internet browsing. Then they drop back down to high 20s/low 30s within 15-20 seconds, but dear fucking god this thing can very suddenly start cranking out copious amounts of heat. For reference, I upgraded my build from an i7 6700k rig that was also water-cooled (albeit not direct-die), and that never really got above 50 C. Anyway, this is “normal” behavior for AM5 chips (and especially the X3D series, and even more so for Ryzen 9 tier), so I guess I just have to suck it up and get used to my water loop’s fans occasionally going into Emergency Leaf Blower mode.

I think I got a bazinga bingo

Le Reddit Brigade getting got by a cruise missile will never not be funny

Or an ethereal bisexual long-legged socialist to purr into his ear to remember to exhale before firing, and to use the edge of his finger to pull the trigger so that the barrel doesn’t jerk away from the target at the last second. And also to aim at the largest fucking center of mass, for fuck’s sake this isn’t an FPS even if you live your life feeling like Elvis from Perfect Dark.

He needed the erection to steady himself for the shot, not unlike a tripod. He lost it when one of the cops popped up over the roof like a sweaty gopher, and thus lost aiming stability.
