    The Tech Random Crap Thread

    New vulnerability in SSL, but only for RSA hosts: https://robotattack.org/ The best part about that page though is this: I give props to those researchers. That's a level of trolling that only works against a certain level of technical knowledge. Well-done!

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    I'm just wondering how 98% of people agree on anything. You could say "freedom is good!" and not get 98%. "Cookies are great!" and not get 98%. But "Yay Jones, boo Moore!" and you get 98%? Yikes.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    My understanding is that admins can see IPs, but that's it. Which I presume means they can see the IPs coming from registered users too.

    New PETure Thread (aka: Pet Pic Thead)

    The hair is too short for Pandora, but I have the same double-take at least initially, as sink-drinking is definitely "a thing" for her. @Dirona can confirm.

    The Internet will never satisfy its lust for Net Neutrality and Bandwidth

    This article raises the very good point that the Amazon/Google "dust-up" with streaming devices only weakens their position with regards to Net Neutrality: (emphasis mine) @Gared and I mentioned this in another thread, but now it's "important" to this as well. Get your acts together...

    [News] Bombings, Mass Attacks, Terrorism, etc - Catch all thread

    Headline says it: Man charged with terror counts after NYC subway bomb attack A bit more "concrete" info in the article on number of injuries and such, along with a bit about his family and travel history. On another note, look for this incident to be used to reduce the "Chain Migration"...

    Shopping for a new Android phone

    Dude, go download KeePass RIGHT NOW for your PC. Then put the file you use on Google Drive. That'll keep it "everywhere" for you. Then go download Keepass2Android (I dunno about other apps) and use THAT to access it from your phone from Drive directly. Free, no worries about subscriptions...

    Shopping for a new Android phone

    Let's hope you generated and wrote down those backup codes. And stored them somewhere OTHER than your phone. Note: I have done so previously. Just checked. ;)

    For the Pixel setup itself! That should be interesting.

    The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

    I'm sure I'll be diving this guy's channel in the next while - Modern Trailer for Star Trek: The Motion Picture This both spoils, and doesn't, since NOTHING is in context. Some of the comments are also great, given that one of them is "makes me want to see it again. I'd better get 3 pots of...

    [News] Bombings, Mass Attacks, Terrorism, etc - Catch all thread

    The last thing I saw said 4, though IIRC it was bomber (maybe survive, maybe not), one other person some shrapnel, and two (or more) with probably only hearing damage. Now I don't mean to downplay hearing damage, as that would suck a lot, but it's still not as severe as some other...

    Device explodes on NYC subway platform So given that this is only ~2hrs after said incident, not much information right now.

    Weird weather

    To all of us Haligonians out there: Special Weather Statement from Environment Canada So just rain for Halifax area... probably. Who knows for those of us slightly (or MORE than slightly) inland?

    Get rid of welfare and just give every adult $870/mo

    I'd say that's worth watching, but I think they downplay FAR too much the 67% (according to the video) of people displeased with their jobs. MOST of them IMO will not work if they can. And if their lives aren't good enough, they'll vote in people who will give them more "free" money yet again.

    Whats for Dinner?

    I look forward to the pedanticness that will surely result from the conversation of what is or is not BBQ vs Grilling. :popcorn:
