Two guys ran an entire hacking operation in a PRISON for months In 2015, two prisoners in Ohio were assigned to a recycling program where they dismantled old computers Instead of scrapping the parts, they started stealing them Carried components over 1,100 feet past guards, metal detectors, and multiple security checkpoints Then built two working PCs and hid them behind a plywood board in the ceiling of a training room closet They ran cables from the ceiling into the prison's own network Stole login credentials from an employee by watching him type his password Set up Bitcoin wallets, Stripe accounts, bank accounts and credit card applications using another inmate's stolen identity Downloaded VPNs, the Tor browser, password cracking tools and what investigators called "a large hacker's toolkit" Created fake security passes to access restricted areas of the prison This entire operation ran for months They only got caught because one of the computers used so much bandwidth it triggered an automatic alert The Inspector General said it was "almost as if it's an episode of Hogan's Heroes" Two guys with recycled computer parts and a ceiling tile built a cybercrime operation inside a state prison

One of the most common counterarguments I hear against the greatness of retro games is: "You're just looking at it through rose-tinted glasses and putting too much weight on nostalgia" - or something along those lines. I disagree. The reason we still remember games that are 40+ years old isn't simply because we were young back then. There were genuinely a lot of great games in the 80s. They didn’t rely on flashy graphics, bombastic soundtracks, or massive marketing budgets. Instead, they were built on timeless concepts, born mostly from the creativity and genius of the early developers. These games were severely limited by the hardware and software of their time, which forced their creators to become pioneers - often achieving things that were considered impossible. On top of that, the core game idea itself had to be truly captivating to overcome the constraints of limited disk space and processing power. What we remember - and why we remember it - cannot be dismissed with a simple "oh, we were young." It's rooted in the creative genius and timeless design of those games. If you’re still not convinced, let me ask you a simple question: Twenty years from now, do you think more people will remember a random Roblox game from 2026 than classics like SimCity, Pitfall, Pirates, or Tetris? If it were purely nostalgia, then today’s teenagers will someday be able to name 100 great games from the “Roblox era.” I'll take any bet that won't happen. The reason we still remember Pac-Man, Pirates, Civilization, Elite, Maniac Mansion, The Sentinel, Defender, Space Invaders, King's Quest, or Ultima isn't just explained by nostalgia. They were incredible games with great, timeless concepts, designed by brilliant minds who pushed far beyond the technological limits of their era. If you can name even just 10 legendary mobile/Roblox games 20 years from now I'd be more than impressed.

Massachusetts House just voted 129-25 to ban kids under 14 from social media. To enforce it, every user in the state has to verify their age. Asked about the privacy implications, the House Speaker basically said "we're doing it to protect kids" and moved on...

$15 in 1995 and lasted until the port became obsolete vs $175 in 2026 and you replace it after something breaks from 2 years of light use

🚨 Wow. Taxpayer-funded Indiana University just disclosed it’s hiring ANOTHER software engineer on a H-1B visa. The university has graduated thousands of American computer science students. But apparently ZERO are qualified for this job. It’s time to end the H-1B scam

Vice President JD Vance on Iran: "I recognize that a lot of young voters don’t love the policy that we have on the Middle East… Don’t disengage because you disagree with the admin on one topic."

Microsoft just laid out a new way to keep enterprise software growing in an AI-heavy workplace: charge AI agents for software seats the same way companies pay for human employees. The old SaaS model was easy, a company buys 1 license for 1 worker, so revenue rises when headcount rises. AI agents threaten that model because 1 person might supervise 10 or 50 agents, which makes investors ask why a company would still need to pay for many separate licenses. So Microsoft executive Rajesh Jha’s answer is that an agent may become its own software user, with its own identity, login, email, permissions, and access to tools, which turns each agent into a possible paid seat. It shifts the pricing logic from “how many humans work here” to “how many active digital workers operate inside the company.” Basically his logic is, once an agent can read messages, call apps, update records, and take actions on its own, software systems may need to track it as a distinct actor for security, auditing, and workflow control. That gives Microsoft, Salesforce, and Workday a path to defend seat-based pricing even if AI reduces human hiring. --- businessinsider. com/microsoft-executive-suggests-ai-agents-buy-software-licenses-seats-2026-4

India is flooding the EB-5 investor visa program so hard that the State Department is warning it may have to **retrogress** (move the cutoff date backwards) or make the entire “unreserved” category **unavailable** for the rest of FY 2026. Translation: - EB-5 = pay $800K+ to get a green card for you + family. - India’s demand is now so massive they’re about to hit the annual cap **early**. - New applicants could be forced to wait years longer… or get shut out completely this year. This is the same country already dominating H-1B and OPT backlogs. The entire employment-based green card system is collapsing under the weight of one country’s demand. Time to reform the caps and put Americans first.
