Apparently the developers of Call of Duty Warzone recently implemented some anti-cheat measures that have proven to be fairly effective towards hackers, they've made 2-factor SMS authorization mandatory for F2P accounts so their phone numbers will be banned from making new accounts, and suspected hackers will be dumped into high ping matches against each other.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-05-16-call-of-duty-warzone-anti-cheat-appears-to-be-making-an-impact-and-cheaters-hate-it

According to some youtube videos, apparently they've got something set up so that making a virtual phone number through a VoIP service doesn't work. This guy also says they're apparently doing something with hardware bans that have resulted in hackers spending hundreds of dollars to replace components or even their motherboards to try and defeat it, but they still get banned.

I wonder how close the Venn diagram of "people who use FPS cheats in multiplayer" and "people who whine about non-FPS players not being 'real gamers'" is to a single circle.

this morning's SCOTUS decision (5-4 striking down a Louisiana anti-abortion law) is producing some lovely tears on Twitter.

(This one's fun because Roberts's siding with the liberals has exactly nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the Texas precedent SCOTUS set four years ago. He did the opposite of caring how his decision would look politically.)

I wondered why the one in my house was poo poo not long after buying the house. Decided to take the top off and have a look, they hadn't bothered putting a loving output on the thing and just had it venting into the wall and ceiling. What confused me was that I knew there was a vent on the outside wall so I couldn't work out why they hadn't connected it up, had a look on the top of the units and found where the fan used to be, felt around and found the old pipe. No idea why they never bothered to it right when they fitted the thing, all it took was cutting a hole in the ceiling and moving the old pipe over.




Mine's almost the same way; the intake is under the hood but it just goes out some louvers on the front of the hood and (originally) directly at the loving smoke detector. Took me a good while to figure that out, and I still haven't gotten around to fixing it (although I did move the smoke detector which is, helpfully, 100% battery-powered and not plugged into the mains at all).

Have full moons always had names? I thought a blue moon was the second one in a calendar month, which made "once in a blue moon" once or twice a year

These names come from Farmer's Almanac and are supposedly Native American in origin. They weren't really mentioned in US popular media until the "supermoon" craze a couple years back, though.

Sadly, I can't find a picture of it, but when I arrived at college my first year, the local Fraternal Order of Eagles had just acquired a brand-new sign for their lodge. Apparently, during the design of the sign, nobody had noticed that the Eagles logo plus FOE 666 might not be how they wanted to promote their organization. (They had a new sign by the time I left for the summer.)

Isn't that not even really hot for Florida?

Remember that a substantial number of the people at Trump's rallies are die-hards who attend almost every rally and shuttle between them in RVs. It's only a 21-hour drive from Omaha to Tampa (no problem for a two-day separation if you've got two people trading off driving and sleeping), and I wonder how many people who nearly froze to death in Nebraska subsequently had heat stroke in Florida.

There are two three reasons, but I'll give a no-prize to anyone who quotes this before I edit:

1) In threads like this, who loving cares?

2) What evidence do you have beyond basic cynicism that it's fake?

3) Is "this isn't real" more or less boring for literally everyone else in the thread than the alternative?

Beaten to pointing out this is the same judge and DA, but here's the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u4xpMEsoOc&t=435s

This hearing starts at about 7:15 if the timestamp doesn't work.

quote:

"Do you want to pay your drat fine or do you want to go to jail? You have a history of not paying your fines here in St. Joseph County," the judge said.

The suspect then told the judge he takes care of two kids as a single father, and that he couldn't pay it.

The judge said "you don't get a single-dad deal" and put him on a payment plan for his fines.

My dumbest injury was also my worst injury: I took a step back when I was opening the freezer, didn't plant my foot right, and fell, and in the process of falling I broke my left leg in three places. (It's the only time I've ever broken a bone, despite many, many unintentional attempts when I was a child!) One of the breaks still hasn't healed six months later, although I've been able to walk on the leg since late November, and because of the break and the hardware in my ankle to make sure the bones fused straight, I have about 50% flexibility in my left ankle. And it still hurts if I step on it wrong. :sigh:

that this is getting out now means that the feds almost certainly have him dead to rights on pretty much everything in that article. trying to get ahead of the news cycle and paint this as a partisan witch hunt is probably his best chance to avoid a multi-decade prison term, so he's gonna go all out on that. i don't think he'll pull it off because, as is painfully obvious, he is just phenomenally stupid. like "has lost his life savings in a confidence scam multiple times" stupid.

that said, tucker seemed to be in for helping him with the spin, at least up until well, ... that ... happened. it'll be interesting to see if he's persona non grata now.

Yeah, having watched the interview - and I say ahead of time that there is no reason to give Tucker Carlson any benefit of the doubt, dude's terrible to the bone - it's clear that Carlson's reaction was "you are very clearly making at least some of this up, but it's my job to let you speak your piece". When even Tucker Carlson is telling a Trumpist they're boned...
