  • Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly. It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home. They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.

    Who says they didn’t???

    Even if Mr Swenson had used the same username and password on other sites, and if those credentials had been leaked online, that still should not have been enough to access the video feed or to control the robot remotely. These features are supposed to be protected by a four-digit PIN. The PIN code was only checked by the app, rather than by the server or robot.

    I don’t even…










  • Russia will make changes to its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons in response to what it regards as Western escalation in the war in Ukraine, state media quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Sunday.

    Oooh… Someone’s realized that a substantially smaller country with Jewish Nazis in the government is way more competent when it comes to specialized military operations?

    This is more a sign of desperation than a sign of either strategic military confidence or a booming economy.

    Moscow accuses the West of using Ukraine as a proxy to wage war against it, with the aim of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia and breaking it apart.

    Dude, you’re making yourself more important than you actually are. No one cares about you.

    Edit: if you’re quoting something, it’s kind of expected that you copy the correct quite… duh…



  • …no expansion of the battlefield…

    Funny how China emphasizes this after Russia started to lose land to Ukraine. It’s not like they’ve been pushing this very hard with Russia for the last two years.

    Li noted the incursion and criticized Western support for Ukraine. “All sides are worried that the West continues to relax conditions for Ukraine to strike the Russian territory with aided weapons,” Li said. “And recent developments on the battlefield confirmed these kind of worries"

    Funny how Li have failed to conclude that China could have put an end to Russia raping and murdering civilian men, women and children 2 years ago by just not continue to supply Russia the parts needed to manufacture Russian weapons.

    But they didn’t.

    China, you’re drunk. Go home.





  • Did anybody bother to look at the numbers?

    I checked the stats for the last 4 years here and it looks really strange. Statistics isn’t my thing… But it looks like it’s wise to be cautious and not to fully trust the numbers.

    Around the beginning of last year there was a huge dip in the Windows market share that seemed to be correlating with a peek in “unknown”. Windows then catched up in a somewhat erratic way.

    Mac OS also shows a weird behavior. Starts at 16%, up to 21% and the down to 14% between October and November…

    It’s not likely that a huge number of people decided to buy a Mac and then trash it one month later. Same but opposite goes for the windows stats.

    I think it looks like there is an uncertainty of more than the total market share Linux is shown to have…

    Not saying that Linux isn’t increasing on desktop market share. Just saying that numbers seen to have quite a bit error margin and to be cautious if referring to these numbers.
