As currently amended, the act would not apply to completely free games and games offered “solely for the duration of subscription. Any other game offered for sale in California on or after January 1, 2027, would be subject to the law if it passes.

Looks like California will have special subscription only editions that's different from the other states.

I have a trip calculator on my car and I reset it everytime I get gas. If I need heat or AC, my MPG goes down between 1 to 3.

Canada world police > United States world police

Canada and Mexico should combine forces and take over the US.

Give Hawaii back to the native Hawaiians.

Canada takes Alaska.

Mexico takes Texas and New Mexico and detain all the pro ICE fascists.

I loved my PSP. I really can't believe the resolution was 480 × 272. It seemed a lot more high res than that.

No worries man.

This is just a guess but with open source operating systems, it can and will probably be bypassed. I'm sure people will make forks without verification.

With closed source, probably not the most updated ones.

This bill, if passed, will force operating systems to verify the age of the user. This means the verification uses a government issued ID.

This basically makes using VPNs for privacy useless. Now they will have a record of every IP address you ever used. They can also use local laws internationally. Like if your state has age verification or bans certain sites, they can just use your ID to ban those websites or apps even if you aren't in the country.

This is horribly bad...

Its Play listing was appropriately marked as “Mature 17+,” which means that children won’t be able to download it if their devices have parental controls. In addition, the developers clearly communicate that the game tackles serious issues. "This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed" is the first line of the game.

Looks like the developers and publisher did everything right. Play has a ton of games where you kill people. Google's inconsistency shines again.

The only recovery was a reboot — which just restarted the 49.7-day countdown.

Saying 'time bomb' made me think this was unfixable after the expiration happened.

Pings still worked. Existing connections stayed alive. But anything that needed a new TCP socket simply failed.

Sounds like system admin hell for servers running on a string.

Google got rid of thousands of employees in the last 5 years and this asshole gets half a billion dollars...

oh crap, actually you made me realize that YouTube is going to be full of AI playthrough videos soon. 😫

 

Threat actors with ties to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (aka DPRK or North Korea) have been observed leveraging ClickFix-style lures to deliver a known malware called BeaverTail and InvisibleFerret.

 

Security researchers have discovered an arbitrary account takeover flaw in Subaru's Starlink service that could let attackers track, control, and hijack vehicles in the United States, Canada, and Japan using just a license plate.

Curry says Subaru patched the vulnerability within 24 hours of the researchers' report and was never exploited by an attacker.

 

A North Korean threat group has been using a technique called RID hijacking that tricks Windows into treating a low-privileged account as one with administrator permissions.

 

The CloudSEK researchers disrupted the botnet by utilizing hard-coded API tokens and a built-in kill switch to uninstall the malware from infected devices.

 

"Mac Homebrew Project Leader here. This seems taken down now," tweeted McQuaid.

 

To safeguard against such attacks, it's advised to monitor suspicious processes, events, and network traffic spawned by the execution of any untrusted binary/scripts. It's also recommended to apply firmware updates and change the default username and password.
