Yea good thing you didn’t. MSHTA is the app that lets you run Microsoft HTML Apps (usually used for their help articles). Those can contain JavaScript or VBScript code. And since you’re pasting it in a Run box it’ll happily execute it, even if it’s a remote source.

Generally it would only run as your user (you’re not admin are you?), which would still be enough to make your life miserable, but it could also try to run known exploits and raise itself to admin and own your whole computer.

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

• Traffic
• Remote (app) features
• Music

Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.

So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.

We do plenty of stuff for human consumption. Computers work for us, not the other way around. Insensitivity should be the default. It’s okay to give options. I’m not saying take that away.

I’ve always hated case sensitivity. I know that at an ASCII level “variable” != “Variable” but is there really a reason to have a distinction between them?

One of these times I would love to see someone reply on national media reply “haha, who the fuck does Trump thinks he is that he can label what I am or am not?”

That’s right there with calling JS, PowerShell and Bash “programming languages”. I said what I said.

Edit: I’m a developer myself and it looks like I triggered everyone just as the post said. Thanks for playing!

We really need to start developing ways to primary the hell out of any of the democrats in Washington who continue to do nothing, or rather who are actively being passive because all they care about is the rich donor money. If they started feeling the heat from the chance they could lose their position to a challenger they’d start to change their tune.

From an administrator standpoint I used to hate containers at first because I was worried about having 3 different versions of a support library on a system all with separate potential vulnerabilities. However we’ve managed to shift our security posture to the left and now all containers are scanned and gated before release approval. This ensures that the devs have the flexibility they want and I have more of the peace of mind of not having to maintain the libraries anymore.

Did you have a 401k or an IRA? Where did you put it to not get taxed on it?

Welp, at least I can claim them as a loss on my taxes this year.

How much is Pi-hole worth it assuming I’m using UBO and also have most non-ad based streaming services?

I’m thinking phones and less often used devices?

I wonder if this is why their store has been offline for over a month. Had an order cancelled, after sitting for 3 weeks. Got a voucher for 50% off “when the store open”. Still waiting…

This is one of the few times I’m glad to see a corporation large enough to stand up to a government. You know Apple is gonna laugh them off.

I believe previous, Sony (or whoever) had to release something to prevent the rights from reverting to Marvel. So its less that they’re fascinated and more they’re just trying to hold on to the rights.

So the thing about tariffs is the government gets the money. $830 x 131 million US households means Trump is extracting $108 billion from people. And what will he do with it? Obviously pass it to his oligarch friends, there’s a reason Musk is trying to take the treasury.

Yes. There should have been two people focusing on the air traffic between planes and helicopters. The ATC was overworked and couldn’t monitor things as closely and normally done.

Now they’re not the only fault, but this is a direct result of actions taken.
