Ubisoft’s bean counters had some trouble reading the market on this one.
They left Steam because they felt the 30% cut that Valve takes for sales on their platform is way too high, but didn’t account that users of Steam are really entrenched into that platform and don’t want to leave just for the chance to play an Ubisoft title. So instead of seeing 70% of Steam sales of their games, they saw 0.
It’s good practice to assume that this is true of every network you don’t control.
Excel is one of those tools that punches way above its weight class, which is why it’s so common to see in places where it should have been replaced by a proper database years ago.
I am not a material scientist, but I would wonder if molten metals would radiate too much heat to the environment causing an efficiency loss
I’m not sure I necessarily agree. Your assessment is correct, but I don’t really think this situation is security by obscurity. Like most things in computer security, you have to weight the pros and cons to each approach.
Yubico used components that all passed Common Criteria certification and built their product in a read-only configuration to prevent any potential shenanigans with vulnerable firmware updates. This approach almost entirely protects them from supply-chain attacks like what happened with ZX a few months back.
To exploit this vulnerability you need physical access to the device, a ton of expensive equipment, and an incredibly deep knowledge in digital cryptography. This is effectively a non-issue for your average Yubikey user. The people this does affect will be retiring and replacing their Yubikeys with the newest models ASAP.
Absolutely. If you are the CISO in a place where security is a top priority with adversaries that may have access to the equipment and knowledge to exploit this, you will absolutely want to retire the keys ASAP and replace them with the new model that is not vulnerable to this.
I love this place. Thank you for keeping it alive.
Nintendo doesn’t go after fangames like this
Unless you’re like AM2R, Pokemon Uranium, Mario 64 online, or any of the the other numerous fangames, romhacks, or mods that Nintendo threatened to sue into oblivion.
This looks incredible. I hope it evades the eye of sauron that is Nintendo’s lawyers
I’m not sure what hardware you’re running, but with my motherboard, to get 4x4x4x4 out of a slot requires sacrificing GPU bandwidth from x16 to x8
to get 4x NVMe drives out of a single PCIe slot without bifurcation you need a card that has it’s own RAID controller. These aren’t cheap (think ~$500) as they are specialty hardware, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a whole professional workstation or server.
Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
NTP is the one that comes to mind for me.
Basically every device uses it and until fairly recently was maintained by a single person
Green Day used to be anti-establishment, now they are the establishment.
American Idiot is almost 20 years old and the message hasn’t changed. Do these people just have zero media literacy?
This is one of those weird things that venture capital does sometimes.
VC is is injecting cash into tech right now at obscene levels because they think that AI is going to be hugely profitable in the near future.
The tech industry is happily taking that money and using it to develop what they can, but it turns out the majority of the public don’t really want the tool if it means they have to pay extra for it. Especially in its current state, where the information it spits out is far from reliable.
I miss when viruses were fun instead of extortionate
While many of the CVEs are filed in good faith by responsible researchers and represent credible security vulnerabilities, a recently growing pattern involves newbie security enthusiasts and bug bounty hunters ostensibly “collecting” CVEs to enrich their resume rather than reporting security bugs that constitute real-world, practical impact from exploitation.
Oh, this is once again HR’s fault
With removable batteries is that there is actually a legitimate reason for getting rid of them, in that it’s much harder to waterproof a device with a removable battery.
I’d still like to see the option available, but I can at least understand why it’s not from a practical standpoint. The only reason carrier locks exist is to increase the cost of change for the end user, making them less likely to switch providers.
People have been saying this since he was forced into buying the platform. I initially thought that could be true too.
As time has gone on, however, I’m starting to think he’s just that incompetent
