To add on, at my work we started getting yubikeys for the people who didnt want Microsoft’s authenticator on their phone and found they still need to download the mfa to set up the yubikey in the first place. So its not a perfect solution if you dont want the authenticator to touch your phone at all.

I can also confirm that the help desk members who are not enlightened about Microsoft will ridicule you for not wanting the MFA even if its reasonable to not want Microsoft on your phone. As much as we think all techs are Linux nerds, I have the opposite at my work. Some of the higher up techs are constantly trying to get people to switch to windows 11…

Good ol Billy Shepherd

I think his suit jacket says Boeing lol

They did in the directors cut or whatever the revised version was called. They got so much flak for the boss fights (because they were contracted out it seems) that they redid them entirely like a year after the game came out.

Am I crazy or does that screenshot have Japan in it? Why would a Japanese company ban a game about Japan in Japan?

Alright I’m gonna be the dude who replies to myself but I did some research and these prices are probably real. What’s crazy is they appear to be significantly lower than last years prices. Another important thing is that the formal menus mention the dishes being sized to serve 4 people. That makes it slightly more okay but also still ridiculous. This has to be inside the paddock or VIP areas though as I dont think they would even offer caviar to the peasants in the general admission.

Lol if you zoom in there is clearly something weird going on with the numbers. I would believe 0s were added to the prices. Even without the 0 at the end the prices would still be absurd but this is way too expensive to be believable. If it is real just burn the whole place down

Oh ive seen this before. This is one of those “manufacturing consent” type articles right? Seems like very weird timing for human rights watch to bring this up now, right after Iran and Israel have started facing off…

Hopefully its just a case of trying to use the general buzz to get eyes on a specific issue but the timing is bad for optics considering they have been accused of being a propaganda tool in the past. At least the HRW has been covering Palestine in a largely positive light and not pulling punches. Now would probably be a good time for HRW to publish an article about how conflict in general is used to hide human rights violations.

Probably just general entropy. Life is energy organized and put to purpose which is basically the opposite of entropy. So if, entropy is the antithesis to life, wouldn’t all life’s ultimate goal be to overcome entropy?
