When software fails testing, we get rid of the bad code and try again. When laws fail, why do we just put more laws on top of them?

@failed_testing @k1rallik Is $6,000 piece of cheating tech still usable if I plug it into another computer? I don’t mean the PC bricking. I mean the ability to mess up someone’s hardware. If they can do it with a card, why couldn’t they do it with your GPU or CPU or use this to sell more hardware?

Well, that escalated quickly. There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices. The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software. Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games. If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory. Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion. This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected. We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.

To understand this, you have to realize something. Iryna wasn't Charlie Kirk. She wasn't a political pundit or controversial. She was simply a young White woman coming home from work.
The reason that these are getting vandalized is because they hate White people and like when we get killed. They just want to murder White people. It's that simple

@RealStanzaga @k1rallik Read their post. They can’t and aren’t.

@k1rallik I’m actually mad because it shouldn’t be legal for them to brick people’s tech. It company overreach. I don’t even play these games and would never put kernel level anti cheats on my computer.

Vickrum Digwa admitted that when speaking to police on the night of the incident, “I did not mention the full truth and that I had stabbed him.”
The prosecution said to Digwa: “Whilst he’s saying he can't breathe, you’re explaining that you have a swollen eye.”
The jury heard Nowak’s final words before going silent: “Please brother, I can’t breathe.”
Henry Nowak died at the scene.
The prosecution also read evidence from a conversation Digwa had with his brother while in custody, where his brother asked him, “Why did you use the kirpan?” and he replied, “I am a fool, I am an idiot.”
Fake Sikh Digwa denies all charges.
Justice for Henry Nowak

@HollyGrayle Only if we’re very fortunate. I’m not betting on it anymore.

It's entirely likely that Britain and Europe are gearing up - albeit, very slowly - to a point where the retaliation will come so fast, and with such vicious fury that these people will remember it for centuries to come.
Or, possibly not.
But given history, which tends to rhyme, if not repeat, I favour the former possibility.

🇩🇪🚨 4 Syrians and one Iraqi refugee are on trial for gang raping a 17-year-old victim while applying electric shocks to her body. Her lawyer says that she "no longer takes part in life" and has locked herself away in her apartment. German crime statistics show Syrians commit violent crimes at a rate 11 times higher than Germans. Government data shows there have been 135,000 crimes by Syrian suspects against German victims since 2015 — one every 39 minutes.

It’s the evolutionary version of putting yourself on sale. “I’m not worth your full attention by myself, but I’ll give my blessing for you finding additional partners and only take some of your attention, which is preferable to the zero (and no chance for reproduction) I would otherwise get”.
From an evolutionary psychology standpoint, this makes perfect sense for a gene set trying not to die out despite being less fit.

I've always found it weird that people in open relationships or polygamists are always so grotesque that you wonder how they found a single partner, never mind multiple.

Jake Lang confronted Texas Lawmakers over the Muslim and Indian invasion
Every single word is pure truth
“No one has ever looked across the plains of Texas in the football games and all the amazing cowboy culture and the raw American spirit here and said, let's replace this with Muslims, let's replace this with Hindus. Texas should remain for Texans.
Have you lost your mind selling your children's future? It is a replacement. It is not right. Just because it's happening to white people does not make it okay. You guys are complicit.
This is the jellyfish generation, half boomer, half Gen X. You don't care about my children's children. You are selling out this country to people who do not want to live near you. They want to build their own separate segregated zones where they practice their religion, their food, their way of dress, their language.
They don't care about white culture. They don't care about American culture. They don't like you. They will replace you.
What the f*ck is wrong with you inviting these people into our country? This is a Christian country. Name one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence that's a Hindu or Muslim”
He’s absolutely right. We have been sold out at every level from the Texas GOP
This will have us all living under sharia law with an open border in Texas
Indians have seen a 130% population increase in Texas since 2010
Muslims are up over 180% with a skyrocketing population due to birth rates in the 450,000+ range

Anyone know a good website for searching the Internet? Preferably the whole thing? Something where I can type in a few keywords and pull up websites that contain them? Especially websites I don’t already know of?

One of the reasons the judge gave such a disgustingly lenient sentence is because these boys were of too low intelligence to understand consent.
They lured two different girls to go on a 'date', then raped them and filmed it while laughing and shared it online.
But apparently the 'consent' bit was a touch tricky.
Judge needs locking up with them.

It is this and many other personality traits in Homelander that caused me to raise an eyebrow when people were like "He's a Trump analogue"
No he's not. The biggest thing they have in common is blonde hair.
Autism Capital 🧩@AutismCapital
Not sure why people have a problem with Homelander going out like this. Convinced those people never actually watched the series. Homelander has always been a pathetic fragile ego coward that’s become increasingly unhinged and desperate. That’s the whole point of the character. This pathetic last ditch effort is perfectly on brand. Homelander was never going to die with dignity like a brave hero, he wasn’t a brave hero, he was a spoiled child. That was the whole point. This was realistic for the character.

I know a teacher in the South Bronx. He was trying to fail some kids who did not come to class once all year. “I wouldn’t recognize them if I saw them.” The computer’s “enter” button was ghosted at 0%. He tried 20%, 45%, 60%… eventually, it went green at 71%. They all got Cs.

Our Reilly girl passed away suddenly last night. My mum told me she got comfortable on the bed, next to my mum's knees, and quietly slipped away.
I am so shattered. Losing two dogs in the space of 18 months (our boy Fergus died early last year) has been horrific.
Reilly was my girl. She was the funniest, sweetest dog. And I'm devastated I didn't make it home to say goodbye.
I said this when I told you all about Fergus last year, but I'll say it again - my mum is especially destroyed losing these two. She reads your comments, so feel free to send her some love.
I'm grateful to have had beautiful, wonderful dogs. And I'm so grateful that Reilly went peacefully, with my parents close by, knowing she was loved beyond words.
Pup photos always welcome on a sad post like this. You know I love seeing your fur babies.
I'm sorry to anyone else who has experienced loss recently. ❤

@NukemRaoul @DVanLangenhove Yeah. My goal is “this person can never hurt anyone else again”, and my trust in the government is low enough that I’d prefer something that can be undone. But if my option is death or the knowledge that more innocents will die when some leftist idiot lets them out… death.

@failed_testing @DVanLangenhove Yep, I was also against the death penalty when the alternative was life in prison. Since that is no longer an option, bring back the death penalty.

I’m a senior programmer, and I’ll admit that AI has easily 2x’d my productivity.
