- Comment on SoupDealer Malware Bypasses Every Sandbox, AV's and EDR/XDR in Real-World Incidents 1 day ago:
And it downloads Tor to connect to C2. So it’s a machine with Internet access AND without security mesures.
So it might be a target with poor IT. A windows machine shouldn’t be left without AV, especially if it has Internet access.

- Comment on I made an AI clone of my dead son - and let a journalist interview him 1 week ago:
That’s not a clone. It’s a text prediction tool that use a dead person’s messages as input. It’s analoguous to editing together old videos of someone to do fake interview of a dead person.
The BBC is going for sensationalism. It’s a topic worth covering and they’re not doing it well. Journalists should focus on informing more than entertaining.

It’d be interesting to know why some people want a ceasefire, yet do not want their government to take any action to reach that goal.
- Comment on ‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians 1 week ago:
According to three Unit 8200 sources, the cloud-based storage platform has facilitated the preparation of deadly airstrikes and has shaped military operations in Gaza and the West Bank.
I wonder if Microsoft will have to testify in the ICC.

- Comment on Waypoint Writers Quit Over Removal Of Articles Related To New Steam Policy [Update] - Aftermath 3 weeks ago:
Yes, there are good reasons for moderating a platform that distribute games.
The deleted article’s author question some of the feminist group’s claim, and highlight some involved parties are motivated by faith. But they’re don’t dispute the need for moderating Steam where necessary, for instance if there is CSAM.
So I don’t see a good reason to censor those articles.

- Comment on Republican calls out Trump on GPU sales to China 3 weeks ago:
There’s even a Wikipedia article on TACO:
Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO), also known as the TACO Trade, is an acronym that gained prominence in May 2025 after many threats and reversals during the trade war Donald Trump initiated with his administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.[1] The acronym is used to describe Trump’s tendency to make tariff threats, only to later delay them as a way to increase time for negotiations and for markets to rebound.[1][2]

- Comment on cookie combs 3 weeks ago:
I suspect having round shape pushing against each other isn’t enought to get a hex shape.
In the picture, cookies are tiled such that they are surrounded by 6 other cookies. So it probably has to do with the tiling.

- Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development 4 weeks ago:
We’ll see.
Once there’s enough hydrogen drilling and hydrogen production no longer depend on fossil fuel, then maybe H2 vehicules will make sense. Or maybe H2 will still be impractical due to other drawbacks.
Meanwhile it make sense to focus on less polluting options.

It sounds like thie ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?

- Comment on Solar Industry Says Senate Plan Would Cede Production to China 1 month ago:
Fossil fuel are getting progressively harder to produce, singe the easily accessible oil and gas fields were the first to be exploited, ans are (soon to be) depleted.
Renewable sources are getting progressively cheapet.
The EU is planning to enforce CBAM soon, and other may follow and tax import from country that have 0 carbon tax.
So even if they’re not motivated for dumb political reasons, they’re going to feel more and more financial pressure.
