  • Bean

    Jump

  • Incredible work. The way the dof is applied to the floor on the single bean is confusing my brain though. Is that from a single exposure or is that also built up?

    I have gone through somewhat of an emotional journey and I have come to accept the fact that you chose to present us with the freaky green booger on the purple bean.

    I do find it interesting that you offer us a wallpaper with a watermark?

  • Bill Gates Admits ‘Affairs’ With Russian Women as He Apologizes to Foundation Staff Over Epstein Ties: Report

    Jump

  • So he met both these accomplished adult Russian women just going about his billionaire day, nothing to do with his good buddy Jeff whatsoever. When he caught the nasty clap from one of these only two accomplished adult Russian women, he ran straight to his good buddy Jeff for help spiking his wife, even though his good buddy Jeff had nothing to do with trafficking procuring introducing him to these exactly two, definitely adult, women.

    I have no further questions, just glad we can finally put these "BILL GATES IS DEFINITELY A PEDOPHILE" rumours to bed. Phew.

  • Another fucking health app hack

    Jump

  • When the post is making the case for stronger legislation, and you respond by bringing up the individual responsibility of those affected, it certainly gives the impression that you are arguing against regulation and shifting the blame toward the personal failings of the victims.

    Most of the people affected in this hack appear to be the elderly and disabled. Many of them do lack the ability to protect themselves, not through apathy or ignorance, but because they are some of the most vulnerable people in our society. I think it's important to approach these issues with compassion and understanding, rather than getting on your high horse and preaching to the choir.

  • Another fucking health app hack

    Jump

  • Yeah mate i think it's fairly likely that many of us on here don't go around installing bullshit apps. I haven't been affected either.

    The previous hack (manage my health) was not an app that people installed on their phones, it was a health management portal that patients were signed up to when they enrolled to clinics and practices that made use of that platform. These health providers used this as a database to store the medical information for all their patients. Molemaps, xrays, doctors notes, everything was uploaded, not by patients, but by their medical care providers.

    If you're enrolled at a gp it's likely that your data is sitting in a similar system. MyIndici is an example I'm aware of, although it hasn't been hacked to my knowledge.

    The concern doesn't stop with health apps either. Any third party data portal/platform is theoretically at risk, and kiwi companies love outsourcing risk to these private corps. Imagine the fallout from a RealMe hack, for example? It's no less likely at this point, and because of the lackluster regulation around these data platforms, they have no real incentive to beef up security. That's the issue here.

  • Company "AI Navigators Group" meeting in one hour...

    Jump

  • Thanks! Didn't see this in time but this is basically what I did. Brought up how terrible it is at analysing a dataset and giving accurate statistics. Brought up how bad it is at working on large codebases. No idea if any of it will stick, but we can hope.

  • I've lived and worked here for 8 years. Last year i finally qualified for a residency for the first time.

    It's $6.5k.

    I haven't been able to save that much since I've been here. My paycheck goes directly to my landlord.

    Fuck all of this. I'm leaving this place as soon as i can. You don't want me here.

  • Neat! And can this been done with signal or proton?

  • Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

    Jump

  • In the end i have to choose between some shady company or some guy with a homelab. I guess I'll choose the one who isn't financially incentivized to screw me over.

  • Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

    Jump

  • By this logic, can we trust any open source software, even if they claim to use some third party encryption? They could say they're using a super secure encryption, even show it implemented in their open source code base, then just put the other, secret evil backdoor code base in production? Is there a way for any open source project to prove that the code in their open source repo is the code in production?

  • Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption

    Jump

  • Okay Old Fashioned, but doesn't open source encryption audited by a third party solve this problem? Signal protocol for example? Also proton, I'm guessing, but I'm too lazy to check

  • One of NZ's most toxic politicians will retire soon

    Jump

  • Sorry mate, but she'll be doing a lot more damage from her new position. This is nothing to celebrate, unfortunately.

  • One of NZ's most toxic politicians will retire soon

    Jump

  • She absolutely will do a lot of damage. She'll be editing and signing off on any laws and regulations passed. She'll be passing all of National's dogshit fast track, RMA and local government reforms from last year.

    She will also be able to screw us regardless of who wins the next election. If National wins, she can quickly pass any half baked law they come up with. If Labour wins she can block everything they do.

    This is why it's generally not the done thing to put ex politicians in this role. Especially not ones with her track record.

    I see nothing to celebrate here. We're fucked.

  • Looks like a cutting board but has a hard insert

    Jump

  • I think that's epoxy resin with some glitter in it. So very hard plastic is spot on. My guess is that this is a cutting board with a "decorative" resin poured into a routed dado. The previous owner may have used it as a makeshift drafting table or drawing surface.
