Yes it is. Any Intel chip with anything with 32-bit protected mode is vulnerable to Meltdown. That’s probably 80386 territory, or was that 80286?

I recommend using the Batman method of assembling the actual PC:

I dunno. There’s probably someone out there who is turned on by that video.

“Premiere helped pioneer the consumer-level editing software that allows the idiot stars of YouTube to pound out two videos a day”

We woke up the next morning and our friend had a nasty email from his ISP about having to shut down his server due to too much bandwidth usage

“Eating Your Own Dog Food” is a phrase in software development circles. If you don’t do the job yourself, you are blind to the pitfalls of that job. CEOs tend to be “busy” making multi-million dollar (multi-billion?) deals that occupy their time, so they don’t have time to do the little jobs.

I dunno. If those are North Koreans, I find it interesting that they would willingly use the international symbol for ionizing radiation. You’d think they would want to invent everything themselves.

There might be some relation to Rodney McKay. If so, that explains a lot.

Not gonna lie: That hand crank attachment had me laughing. I mean, it’s serious that people are determined to own full-auto weapons, but that hand crank is like a serious throwback to the gatling gun days only that you look silly and have zero protection from return fire.

Data breaches happen because programmers don’t know how to write software correctly for Internet connected devices.

I don’t see a need for AR in my life or anyone else’s life for that matter. I remember when VR headsets were being pushed in the 1990's and flopped badly. This is the same thing. When you can get AR/VR without strapping anything to your face, then AR/VR will be a thing.

The phrase “Lenovo Yoga” is a tongue twister.

CVE-2017-77842:

I dunno about everyone else in the comments, but I thought it was pretty cool. However, the remix audio itself was kind of annoying. Would have preferred something less repetitive and more Christmas-ey.

I think the real problem here is relying on a banker for investment advice. Banks are the second worst choice for investment strategies. Self-centered family members, friends, coworkers, and random dudes on the street are worse than bankers, but not by much.

Seat belts for one. That and I recently saw a comment on Giz about a school bus driver who gets high every day on cocaine. Dunno if it is true, but it could very well be true.

Um. No.

Um. No.

Whatever you do, don’t look up “tonsil stone removal” on YouTube.

Anytime you visit a site using HTTP (instead of HTTPS), data sent between your computer and the web server is insecure, as opposed to HTTPS which uses SSL certificates to create an encrypted connection between two points. That means sensitive info like login credentials or credit card numbers can be captured by…

Rico Rodriguez was probably involved.
