  I don’t think these two games can be reasonably compared. HL2 is currently free, while concord was a paid game.

  If it’s a civil and interesting discussin, why not?

  This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No USB power plug operates at 5 V when providing 65 Watts. That would be 13 Amps. Both power plugs most likey use 15 or 20 volts internally. 19 volts is not allowed over USB.

  As for me, I just visit this site to see the next sales. But it’s a neat idea

  They should have split it so both of them can enjoy at least 50% of it.

  You’re right, these are definitely some advanced topics. But no need to know everything yourself, if you stumble upon one of these topics during your research, you might want to post them here.

  I believe there are several Linux-related topics that could be valuable for this cybersecurity community. While I’m not a Linux expert, here are a few suggestions:

  • Security features in the Linux kernel: An overview of features like ASLR and cgroups, including their strengths and limitations.
  • Securing Linux servers: Practical guides, how-tos, and tools (e.g., Auditd, Sysdig) for hardening Linux systems.
  • Vulnerabilities and detailed writeups: Sharing in-depth analyses to learn from real-world mistakes. (But please, let’s avoid posting every CVE. 😉)

  Anyone here using generative AI in your job? From creating phishing mails for training purposes to images for presentations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why CSV is still king⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re absolutely right. I only learned recently that there are different import options for CSV, and just opening the file doesn’t give all the options. You have to go to data -> import to have all the extra options, like setting all the desired data types.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why CSV is still king⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While CSV and Excel can be enough for many kinds of data-handling, it is also very error-prone. Handling of commas and quotes is tricky, and excel adds another layer of complexity by randomly interpreting data as dates or currency or whatever.
