“It was obviously really tough, we parted with a lot of talented people we cared about" - Mark Zuckerberg

"Mark Zuckerberg made more than $28 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge"

yeah, but now it's even funnier to read complaints about Swift-plane memes.

flathead ,

Easily amused, you might say.

"This has been linked with major mass political developments including the Brexit referendum in the UK, and the presidency of Donald Trump in the US"

Bingo.

Australian for the way an English person complains about everything in Australia

flathead ,

it doesn't, but 'whinger' is a very common word in Australia to describe somebody who complains about insignificant things - especially English people when they talk about differences between England and Australia. To say this thread is 'whingy' means that it is full of petty complainers.

Linux, dovecot, postfix and a large quantity of pain medication.

No, 3 million electric toothbrushes were not used in a DDoS attack (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

No, 3 million electric toothbrushes were not used in a DDoS attack::A widely reported story that 3 million electric toothbrushes were hacked with malware to conduct distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks is likely a hypothetical scenario instead of an actual attack.

The primary use case is for making sure kids and elderly loved ones are brushing their teeth and keeping the brush charged. Also supposedly senses if all teeth are being properly cleaned, although based on reviews that sounds like a stretch. But yeah, the aggregated data is probably marketable somehow - I didn't check their privacy policies.

Electric toothbrushes are a thing. It's understandable that the vendors would like a rationale to track usage. Not beyond the bounds of possibility that in ten years it may be impossible to buy an electric toothbrush that doesn't track usage and try to phone home to report it.

Concur. Also long time user here - but prefer to skip the data collection bit. Imagine showing up at the dentist some day and being chided for missing your back molars last Tuesday.

Quick! Somebody order more pizza and ping pong tables...

flathead ,

Great idea! Here's a starbucks gift voucher for your initiative! Now if we can just figure out how to simulate pizza....

flathead ,

Every day is pizza day here!!! That's what makes us a "Great Place to Work" (GPTW^TM^)

Would you care for a chair massage?

So they have more cameras than anywhere else but also a higher rate of road deaths. Evidently the cameras aren't effective and are mainly a regressive tax collection mechanism.

flathead ,

Cue the outrage and two minutes hate.

flathead ,

Right but these are climate change activists, not stupid tourists. The internet is going to hate on them anyway. The Mona Lisa! Sacre bleu!

flathead ,

I stand corrected, thanks. I assumed they were climate activists, since all the previous soup throwing was about climate.

Do you know of any instances where climate protestors have destroyed historic artifacts?

flathead ,

The valuable commodity is data. Think of it like eggs. The users are the chickens. Google runs the poultry farm.

I was going to ask how this fucking idiot became CEO of a major company. I was surprised to learn that he joined as an intern in 1989 - based on his stupidity I incorrectly assumed it was nepotism again.

flathead ,

What's even more amusing is the ensuing debate about the wording. John Clarke would be tickled to see this thread, I'm sure.
