I remember when all steam games could be unlocked client side

There are still third-party programs that pretend to idle you inside your games in order to get the Steam trading cards to drop. Valve doesn't care.

It was raining when I woke up, same as yesterday, same as the day before that. Since they finished enclosing the "downtown" District in Seoul there was a constant rain of dirty water from the exec floors above, if I thought they had a sense of humour I'd think this was the trickle down effect they were always talking about.

I heaved myself out of the cheap pod I'd slept in and walked down the corridor to the communal bathroom to wash off another night's discount kimchi stink, when I got there the shower was busted, cryptolockered for the fourth time this month. loving Russians, since Putin got uploaded to the Internet they've been worse than ever.

Looking over at the mirror to see whether I could pass for employable a red light started flashing right in the middle, blocking my view; "time to update your antivirus!". I hate the loving future.

This would loving terrify me if there were actually significant numbers of Teslas sold.

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/how-a-software-brake-upgrade-won-tesla-a-consumer-reports-endorsement/

Setting aside that the braking was *wildly* inconsistent before, apparently Tesla will accept OTA updates for vital safety features like braking profiles. Not only that, but mere *days* passed from Consumer Reports saying brakes bad to the update being beamed out. I’m sure the update underwent rigorous testing.

But the OTA firmware updates are scary. Because like everything else in those death-mobiles, I’m sure many corners were cut to make deadlines and budgets.

gently caress’s sake.

i wouldn't say she's "insanely mentally hosed in the head," she's just got a whole lotta depression, plus she's trans and only figured that bit out after having a pretty public mental breakdown

she's doing better last i heard at least :unsmith:

has there been any uptick of security incident notifications yet? i saw some people predicting a surge of companies coming forward due to the 72 hours notice part of GDPR. or do they only need to notify the authorities and not the public?
