@KSGamingLife Microsoft doesn't want to block these rootkits, it wants to give them a space to work quietly, ergo, today's anti-cheats will still be used


Earthquake scientists detected an unusual signal on monitoring stations used to detect seismic activity during September 2023. We saw it on sensors everywhere, from the Arctic to Antarctica.

We were baffled—the signal was unlike any previously recorded. Instead of the frequency-rich rumble typical of earthquakes, this was a monotonous hum, containing only a single vibration frequency. Even more puzzling was that the signal kept going for nine days. #climatechange arstechnica.com/science/2024/0…

In the old days of 360|Conferences my business partner and I would travel and text each other when we landed, “White or brown eagle, has landed.” I assume you know which one I was.

It was our gag for years. Then we made MVP shirts for special guests we made shirts for each other “White Eagle” and “Brown Eagle”

Given the times now, I’ve been self conscious wearing mine. So….

Few minutes with my sewing kit and now I’m a sales rep for Weyland Yutani.



If you’ve forgotten the scummy behavior of Accuweather, let me remind you how they recruited Rick Santorum to try and destroy the National Weather Service to enhance their profits. slate.com/news-and-politics/20…

Antares Region, by Bence Tóth

This image shows the dust and gas formations around the star Antares. A telephoto lens was used to achieve the huge field of view but a five-panel mosaic – three panels RGB and two panels of H-alpha – was needed to show this huge region in one picture.
