Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren't doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)

The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.

This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.

Red Dead Redemption 2 enters the chat

A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a Haitian native on this very topic. While I deleted my reddit account and no longer have access to that conversation, the gist was...

Americans don't seem to understand that every time they swoop in to 'save' Haiti, what they are really doing is enforcing the same colonial ideals that landed Haiti in the mess to start with.

There's no politician in play down there that isn't on the take. His opinion was just to leave it alone and let the gangs sort it out. Either they'll pull together a government or the last gang standing will.

His statement had a lot more anger and quite a few expletives.. They're just sick of all of us, y'all.

Honestly I don't know why people wear headphones at all outside. I mean, I get we should all be able to hear our tunes or podcasts or whatever, but unawareness of your surroundings can change your life for the worse very quickly.

I seem to recall an ad for some product in the last couple years that still lets you hear what's around you with clarity while listening, though I can't seem to find it now.

Edit: Maybe these? https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/sony-linkbuds-earbuds-hear-your-surroundings

The reviews are iffy on them though. idk, I just don't want noise cancellation until I'm someplace I'm going to be sitting in a long time that has sounds I don't want to hear.

Another great story from our 'no shit' segment. Back to you Bob

I love how media is slowly moving away from "RTO is bullshit" to "It has some benefits but they're taking it too far". Next week it will be "What were we thinking? RTO is here to stay!"

As so many people have said, there's plenty of jobs where this isn't necessary at all. The conversation needs to stay focused on the flawed conceptions of corporate suits in an echo-chamber.

Oh gosh yes! It's popularity has dropped a bit since OWI's little stunt, but you should check it out on Fridays when we try and get the OG's to come back and show us how to kill some BUGS.

NGL I'm still a little salty at OWI only making the Extermination game after the Troopers Mod for Squad took off so hard. No credit to the hard work on that mod that rekindled the interest at all.

So it goes in the same bin as the last dozen 'features' they added that nobody wanted. Microsoft, do you even use your own product?

lmao just bought one of these last week! Glad the fix is already out.

And no, I didn't buy it for its looks xD It's actually a decent router that does additional things I needed.
