So he just whipped it out for fun? This just gets worse as more details emerge

ultratiem , 2 days ago to Legal News in Judge denies Alec Baldwin’s plea to dismiss case in fatal Rust shooting

FBI testing heavily damaged the firearm before Baldwin’s team was able to examine it for any potential modifications, and authorities failed to photograph the individual elements of the firearm beforehand, the defense had argued.

Looks like he's still sticking to his "the gun just fired by itself" defence. Which is both sad and confusing as he pulled it out on set with the intention to pull the trigger for the scene. Whether it went off on its own is moot as even if it didn't, he would still moments later have pulled the trigger. It's not like the gun flew out of hits holster and shot Hutchins.

The FBI and an independent firearms expert found the gun functioned normally and would not fire without the trigger depressed, but Baldwin’s defense team has argued that the firearm was prone to malfunctioning.

So you admittedly used a known, malfunctioning gun? How is that better or even exonerates him in this case? I guess based on his history with finance, he got one of those bargain basement lawyers to build his defence.

The entire set was a gong show and this is what happens when you don't follow the proper safety rules and bring in a bunch of unqualified people because you stiffed the former crew for pay. Sad that an innocent person had to die.

Typical Debian user clinging onto their dementia.

See that’s the thing, Debian was never good

“Yes Mr. Crowler we hear what you’re saying, but unfortunately spray paint voids your warranty.”

Yeah I can’t even comprehend how that just passes as totally normal these days. Make it all make sense…

It’s sad how consumers have zero rights when it comes to digital content. Companies can retroactively make changes, removing content legitimately bought by consumers with no repercussions. I get “not owning” but for a company to collect money for services provided and not actually provide those services will never not astound me.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the "security nightmare." Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem

This says everything about this shitty company. Worst of the worst. Because that’s how they make 90% of their cash. By exploiting licensing deals and siphoning data to sell to whomever because they do not care who it is so long as they bid the highest.

It’s amazing no one has tried to break up their control over PCs. Make this world make sense.

Yeah thank the heavens the deal was squashed. It was a bold move even for Adobe.

ultratiem , 18 days ago to Privacy in What is the best cloud storage provider right now?

Building a NAS in this day and age is trivial. Hard drive space is cheaper and far more economical than paying $20 a month for a service. The way prices are going it's going to soon hit parity with car payments.

I had an old PC from 2012 with an i3 dual core in it. Ran a headless Linux server. Raided the 2 3TB drives. Done. It was replaced by a 4 TB SSD and since those have nowhere near the failure rates of HDDs, one and one. It servers files off my main computer which is a beefy Mac.

Enabled file sharing. Opened the port on my firewall. Done. It's one of the easiest services to offload to a homebuilt rig.

Not feasible in a work environment. Photopea works just fine if you simply need CS6 level Ps. Just need a browser.

They are considered malware at this point. The telemetry they collect the fact that your machine has to run a slew of daemons and that they are binding it all behind your mandatory Adobe account that has all your financial details, kinda shows how users rights are in the dark ages digitally speaking.
