Bizarre. But the article outlines a lot more vulnerabilities. Seems like every part of this device is poorly secured.

IOActive's hacking technique exploited glaring security vulnerabilities they found in the shufflers, the researchers say: They bought their own Deckmates for testing from second-hand sellers, one of whom told them a password used for maintenance or repair. They found that this password and others they extracted from the Deckmates' code were configured in the shuffler with no easy way to change them, suggesting they likely work on almost any Deckmate in the wild. They also found that the most powerful “root" password to control the shuffler—which, like all the Deckmate's passwords, they declined to publicly reveal—was relatively weak.

This is just ridiculous / hilarious.

Kepa also wanted by Bayern, who supposedly were interested in Rulli as well.

With relatively few options at a top level, an injury like this can have interesting knock-on effects on other players' careers as well.

This makes me so sad. Goddamn Correa fucked up the country with his corruption, idiotic economic policy (an insane reliance on oil), connections with organized crime, attacks on the press... Now he's fucked off to Belgium (where his wife is from), who refuse to extradite him.

Ecuador is seeing a big increase in drug related violence which until like ten years ago it didn't have. Covid made things a lot worse for sure, but the country was already going downhill and Correa's regime was a huge factor.

Lasso (the current president) certainly didn't make things any better. He's pro business, anti-abortion, part of the elite, and besides being anti-Correa not someone who I want in power.

Ecuador needs its own Nayib Bukele! But this assassination is going to scare a lot of candidates. Imagine wanting to implement a harsh crackdown on drug gangs... You're gonna put a massive target on your back.

I'm hoping Yaku Pérez can do well again, but I'm very worried about Luisa González. If she wins I can see her pardon Correa and bring him back to Ecuador. If that happens the country is truly in deep, deep shit. Even more so than it is now.

Mag van mij wel een paar graden warmer dan de laatste maand ofzo. Echt een soort herfstweer geweest.

Ik zie bij de overburen de laatste tijd na elke flinke bui een busje staan die allemaal water uit hun kelder pompt. Je bent niet de enige dus :)

May I ask why you use maps.me? As far as I know that's just a worse version than Organic Maps at this point.

This post was made only 10 minutes ago and is now on -7. It takes longer than 10 minutes to read the article. What's going on here? Bots?

I support ajax and am curious too. He was one of the better players in a very poor team last season. The level between the eredivisie and premier league is quite big though.

Yes that's indeed great and I have contributed to OSM, but even for places with tags in multiple languages the search still didn't work great.

Perhaps it's been improved, but I think Organic Maps first searches for the primary name tag first and only later name:es or name:ca. But that means that when searching in Spanish in Valencia (where the name tags are in Valencian/Catalan), it would often give me results outside of Valencia but that would have the name of what I was looking for.

That's not impossible to improve, but it's difficult to get those things consistently right. Google knows so much about its users it can make really accurate predictions about which results are most relevant.

But what's for me way more significant is that OSM is quite unforgiving when it comes to typos or slightly inaccurate spelling. Organic Maps has that problem and openstreetmap.org as well. As an example: there is a part of the city called l'Eixample. If you search for l'Eixample on OSM you will find it no problem: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=l'Eixapmle

But if you forget the apostrophe, lEixample, or if you switch around the m and p, l'Eixapmle, you get no results: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=lEixample

For me that is really frustrating when I'm outside somewhere and have to quickly look up some place on my phone. Most of the time I can still find it with organic maps, but it can definitely be more cumbersome than with google maps.

I use Organic Maps as much as possible. For public transport I use another app (not google maps but a local app for my country). Sometimes I check google maps if I can't find a place or if the opening times are missing on openstreetmap (the source for organic maps).

The main issue with organic maps (and I think any map app based on OSM data) is search. Especially in places where multiple languages are used I've found it quite frustrating.

Valencia, for example, has Valencian/Catalan as its main language on OSM, but Spanish is very common. If I search in Spanish I don't get good results. A small typo will also mess things up. That's pretty frustrating and means I often have to go to the website of wherever I'm going to get the proper name in Valenciano without typos, or I have to look it up on google maps.

Very interesting and depressing article.

A fundamental reason for the lack of clarity over the role sex or drug trafficking plays in the fate of Uruguay’s missing women is that neither prosecutors nor police are looking for the evidence.

So, are the police involved in the trafficking and that's why they're not doing anything and withholding information? Or are they just incompetent / underfunded / undertrained?

It's like they actively don't want to solve these cases.
