TIL in Stockholm (Sweden) they made a giant phone tower in the late 1800s to connect 5500 phone lines over the rooftops.

it makes me wonder if the hl2 combine citadel was inspired by it

I know very little about early Metokur but I suspect from his awful takes that before Gamergate he had little interest in politics.

Much like Trump himself.

The FBI wants to buy access to automated license plate readers nationwide, which would likely allow the agency to track the movements of vehicles and people across the country without a warrant, according to FBI procurement records.

The statist juggernaut unleashed against Massie runs the very system that preserves itself in power. Sorry, folks... We’re not voting our way out of this.

I don't think steam or valve will ever go away i just worry about who will replace gabe and if they have users interests in mind rather than political interests in mind

valve is kind of in a position where if they ever had to close their doors Microsoft Sony EA or Possibly some Saudi Arabian investor would buy them out
i could even see tencent joining that bid war

But yeah it would be a bid war and the only people who would suffer are the users

unreal engine 6 is on the way, announced with a new rocket league.

i'm of two minds here. we all know unreal 5 sucks ass. is unreal 6 going to be better, or is it fundamentally just unreal 5 with a new coat of paint to trick people into being optimistic about the engine again?

i wonder how much of CDPR's work has been incorporated here, or if all of that stuff is specific to their studio alone.

You know what online games are missing nowadays that was awesome in the 80's and 90s good announcer effects like this classic.

One of the victims with a technical background that spoke during the enemy of state event at the national libertarian convention today referenced the name of the specific remote management protocol that governments are using to take control of ISP supplied routers/modems and spy on users.

As someone behind a product that hinders this sort of abuse through a router that can sit between your ISP supplied modem/router (or spying device) and your actual network I found it quite interesting to hear from a technical user describe their experience when a government exploited this functionality against them.

So it’s something we’ve known was possible on routers and I’ve mostly only read about in the case of cellular phones and/or articles have alluded to.

On routers it's called the TR-069 protocol, and apparently has been succeeded by TR-369.

In any event I hadn’t known the name of the specific protocol prior (not that it would have been hard to figure out, it’s not a secret) and thought it was interesting to hear that it’s what was in fact exploited and used against him.

My companies routers solve this problem of course which made it particularly interesting for me to hear someone even if only briefly bring it up where it’s been used against an actual person with first hand experience.

Basically the moral of the story is stick a router you actually control in-between your ISP supplied modem (or for that matter any modem) and computers/printers/devices.

These are the two router products my company currently develops that can mitigate the threat:
