I certainly agree. It's a tragedy all around.

I was in NY 2 blocks away when this happened. This dude has no redeeming qualities and would have happily shot you for looking at him funny.

He wanted to kill people from the NFL but did no reconnaissance and ended up murdering 4 completely unrelated people.

His manifesto is also just complete madness.

Edit to add: If anything this is another reason why there should be more publicly available resources for combating mental health issues and tighter gun control. But we all know there will only be thoughts and prayers and no real change coming any time soon.

Where I'm from there's certificates a company can get, that confirm a certain level of process and IT security. Also a company existing for at least 5-10 years without incidents is a "vetted" company in my books. At least anything that managed to produce a working IT system before 2021 when AI came around.

I also believe there's a bit of bad wording going on with the original comment. Take it up with that guy, lol.

This situation would have been easily preventable with basic understanding of what they're doing is what OP is saying. This leak is not something highly complex, it is painfully stupid on the side of the developers.

There's a difference between a hack, where data is exposed, compared to data exposure due to negligence or ignorance on the development side.

Or it gets them into a negative feedback loop since AI hardly ever tries to contradict you.

But yeah. At least they're opening up to someone/something.

Probably quite easy if you use the Java edition.

I still think DS2 ist the best Dark Souls and I know everyone will disagree with me.

But the slower pace and the durability mechanic just scratched an itch for me all the others don't.

Elden Ring is still my favorite but I kinda want a DS 2 2 😂

If you're behind a conventional router they still do NAT afaik.

Per default your IPv6 address should be an internal one if it's enabled.

Yeah, we managed to recreate that in a lab. Those old OS's are super vulnerable.

EOL means no more security updates, which means attack vectors don't get patched.

If you keep using a Windows installation (or any OS for that matter) that isn't patched regularly you are very likely to be victim to some malicious actor eventually. It's not manual hacking anymore, it's bots scraping the whole internet exploiting known vulnerabilities completely automated.

The risk is much lower if you're in a home network with NAT, where your PCs IP is not publicly reachable, but if you communicate with any webservices you're still vulnerable.

As example. If you nowadays put a Windows XP machine live on the internet with a public IP, it will be compromised within minutes.

So yeah. Good call switching to Mint, but please don't use unpatched Windows.
