I was running an edge router x until a few months ago. It was the cheapest set up to deploy a unifi wireless access point for my apartment. I was worried until I read:

It affected routers running Ubiquiti's EdgeOS, but only those that had not changed their default administrative password. Access to the routers allowed the hacking group to "conceal and otherwise enable a variety of crimes," the DOJ claims, including spearphishing and credential harvesting in the US and abroad.

Change you default passwords friends. Given that the edge router is not the most noob friendly device to set up, I'm curious how the user base of these devices is not changing the PW.

You don't need cookies for this kind of targeting....

Curious, the article makes it sound specific to elementary school. How does age factor into rationale for this kind of opt-out? Is the grounds for this justification not sustainable in highschool or middle school when sex Ed is taught.

But when will Nintendo start issuing those warnings for Mario games?

I think there needs to be better unemployment security and resourcing. I think there are certain jobs that should be let go over time. IE, if we get off fossil fuels, I would expect a lot of people to lose those jobs in fossil fuel. As we get more automation, that is going to replace those jobs. I think right now it's hard to determine what is reasonable or justified layoffs for business reasons, and what is really there to just pump the stock up. But everyone knows cable TV is going to die... I would expect jobs to be cut. Similarly Sky TV recently also had a layoff of a percentage of the work force. That primarily hit the technician team that was responsible for installing cable boxes in people's homes.

I am hoping one day we can have tax system that makes sense and is fair, and support a UBI eventually.

What I find kind of amusing about some of the comments on this thread are the communist leaning folks seem to parrot neo libs where the solutions is jobs for the sake of jobs.

But I think the argument here is a specific business lines are failing. Namely advertising revenue for Linear. Linear TV is cable. So as cable subs get cut, you can't just shift linear staff over to digital, because digital staff were already hired and working in parallel to build that business.

For the third quarter of 2023, Paramount Global’s revenue rose 3% thanks to its growth in its streaming and film businesses — but revenue in its largest division, linear TV, fell 8% as sales of traditional television advertising continued to contract (declining 14% in the quarter).

It's strange. On lemmy people hate ads. They hate cable TV. But you have to realize if people stop watching ads and people stop paying for cable, then people that work in that area will probably lose jobs.

I understand that point. But if those are things we as society want to pursue for legal justice, how can we try the child as an adult?

you show up for 1 day, tell the judge (if you are selected as a jury candidate for a trial) your financial situation and they'll excuse you and say they will call you up at a later time.

So both parents should get full manslaughter charges? If the father was the one that purchased the gun is he more responsible than the mother? I find it weird that liberal folks generally are very anti-prison industrial complex, but for certain issues like this it seems we want to jail as many people as possible and dupliclate or triplicate blame of responsibility across as many people as possible for 1 person;s, who is tried as an adults, actions.

"For me, I just feel like Jennifer didn’t separate her son from the gun enough to save those lives that day."

I don't think jury's would use that logic if the son was full grown adult.

Well yes. But you have a child that did a heinous thing. We say this kid actually has enough moral culpability and responsibility to be tried as an adult and receive life in prison. Then in the other trial you argue that this mother is culpable because the child actually is a child, and an adult needs to responsible? The rationale of manslaughter was based on the mother being the last adult with the gun, right? That seems contradictory and if we want to blame the mother, the kid should be tried as kid.

How do you try a kid as an adult then blame the mom for not being a responsible adult for her child's actions?
