If I had this I'd probably just become the neighborhood ISP, sell 1 gig symmetrical to 49 houses for $100/mo and you're no longer paying for that connection after 9 customers

Permits, a mini JCB, buried fiber runs and stuff would be expensive though... as well as routers for each customer... ah maybe I'd pass on that business opportunity actually 😅

$69,420 is a very Nice salary

When a human solves a problem, we like to think that it occurs in discrete steps with simple goals: "First I will draw a diagram and put in the known information, then I will write the governing equations, then simplify them for the physics of the problem", and so on.

I wonder how our brain even comes to formulate these steps in a way we can comprehend, the amount of neurons and zones firing on all cylinders seems tiring to imagine

SMS is pretty useless for exfiltrating data, however it's very useful for charging random individuals if you have remotely infiltrated their device IMO

In some countries, special SMS messages can charge you money (billed to either your contract, or withdrawn from your call money immediately if you don't have a contract)... They are usually used for gambling and TV competitions though

It's not like it can be wirelessly accessed

The creativity of research students shouldnt be underestimated lol, they have found ways to transmit data to cameras, to microphones (inaudible to us), and also by using coil whine in power supplies, all by modulation.

There is the caveat that these usually require the computer to be compromised first though, if it is airgapped

If these are created in 7zip there is some secure setting that has to be disabled, otherwise Windows can't open them

For me .zip on Windows is equivalent to .tar.gz on Linux - used when I just want to send a folder in a single file very quickly.

Also handy when sending an archive to a weaker machine, that might take a while to unpack a 7z compressed at the highest setting.

.7z is when I want to send a folder encrypted, or heavily compress something to archive (like a database, documents folder, or disk image/iso). It seemingly does the impossible, shaving the size from say 60GB down to 40GB compressed if you use solid mode (which has downsides if there are multiple files in the archive). It's incredibly flexible, but the defaults are pretty solid for most cases

Literally the reason why 7 zip is the first thing I install on a windows machine.

All the linux file managers I use have that context menu built in, so nothing else to install 😅 except that I also sometimes use 7zip file manager via WINE because I like a GUI

😭 I almost thought you somehow embedded an amazon listing into your post LOL

If they waited this long to go after Facebook they must have a strong case lol

Damn, Waymo has been around for that long? TIL

Waymo's progress is probably a good indicator as to how far along we are with self driving cars IMO. Given that Waymo has their cars pretty thoroughly trained on set routes (well, even us humans need to learn or try various routes before we're fully confident on them sometimes), Cruise cheaping out on the whole training process is only going to accelerate their demise... especially when it's at the expense of pedestrians' safety
