Given the symptoms reported… There was no reason to expect anything out of the ordinary.
“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” Padilla said.
Well of course. Republican naming schemes are to call something the exact opposite of what it is. Across the board. Doesn’t matter if it’s something they’re trying to pass or something they are against.
If you hear them talking about something you can safely assume it’s the exact opposite of reality.
100% chance he took this as an opportunity to actually get the money Trump hasn’t paid him previously. And I can’t really fault him much for that honestly.
Someone was going to get paid for this stupid shit, might as well be someone who’s been fucked over in the past to try and make them whole.
That would require the DOJ to not be political, and they very definitely are nowhere near that point anymore.
The Judicial needs their own enforcement arm. Once we’re through this (one way or another) the US Marshall’s Service should be moved under the Judicial Branch to enforce Judicial Decisions instead of relying on the Executive Branch.
Do you think they’ll ever realize that there are so many poor people that can’t afford anything anymore because those same companies have spent 60+ years ensuring wages stay exactly where they were while prices increased?
I doubt it. It’s clear that to be a CEO you need to have zero problem solving skills, just social connections and rich parents (usually). It’s the rest of the management team below the C-Suite that has does the thinking. Then middle manglement fucks up implementing it to try and get noticed for a promotion from their dead-end position because they aren’t a part of the rich club already.
Oh the things I could rant on about Android Automotive, and about legacy automakers integrating “smart” things poorly.
Part of this is another well deserved rant against GM for not putting Android Auto on their cars. That’s something that other manufacturers do and I suppose in that case it actually would work well. I don’t know.
If you want to be even more unreasonably angered about this… I currently drive a Honda Prologue, which uses GM’s Ultima EV platform. The Play Store even shows the car “device” as a “GM Aegean”. It supports Android Auto. Even puts it in the little app window as if the system wasn’t already running Android Automotive. Regular Android Auto just like on any other vehicle… inside Android Automotive. They could do it, they chose not to.
Half of the modern world is reliant on petroleum based products. Gasoline and Diesel are about 70% of modern crude oil usage, but that remaining 30% is everywhere.
Several vehicle infotainment systems literally run Android. Android Automotive is an entire branch dedicated to being an entire vehicle infotainment system… separate from Android Auto on your phone.
They could have always not announced a release date until they were confident.
Yeah the real question is why the backup software companies are choosing to use a known vulnerable kernel driver.
The quote from the article:
I reached out to Microsoft for a statement and a spokesperson proviued the following: “In the April 2026 Windows security update, we added known vulnerable kernel driver psmounterex.sys to the Vulnerable Driver Blocklist. Backup applications that rely on this driver may experience failures when attempting to mount or manage disk images. We do not recommend uninstalling or pausing this update. Customers with an impacted driver should install the latest application versions and validate against the driver blocklist to remain protected. For more information, please see here.”

Id say that’s a bad choice of how to frame the newer game released is “just a coat of paint” issue. Id say you’re raking the colors too literally. I wouldn’t call special edition releases or director’s cuts the same as just slapping a coat of paint on something. Especially when we’re talking about a gaming world before DLC. The only way to upgrade a game or add new functionality was to release a new version of some kind. Would you consider a Game of the Year edition with all the DLC bundled a coat of paint? Or a Deluxe version that has unique skins?
Pokemon Red/Green specifically released as a paired game to take advantage of the Gameboy Link Cable, with the pokemon trading praised at the time as a great new concept. The split was intentional and promoted playing and trading with friends. The games played exactly the same, you just could only catch half the pokemon without trading with friends.
Blue in Japan was a special edition released with better graphics and extended dialogue. It was used as the base for the Red/Blue games released internationally.
Yellow was a special edition that tied into the Anime series, having Pikachu be the starter and refuse to stay in the pokeball so he followed you around, like Ash in the Anime, and the rival using an Eevee instead of the initial 3 starters like the previous versions. Otherwise it was nearly identical to Red/Blue, and should be treated as just a different version of the same game.
The next games released in the series then changed the region and pokemon entirely, creating the multiple generations Pokemon is known for.
Eh, Pokemon I think adds more per game generation than games like Assassin’s Creed nowadays.
If you don’t use a rewards or loyalty program, you’re already paying the highest price for the items.
Ubisoft? They just show it a different way. By releasing the same games with a new coat of paint at a premium.
I’m willing to bet they were using various other recognition systems across the parks well before this to track things like banned individuals and trouble makers.
The technology has been around for decades. To think that a company like Disney wasn’t at least testing these things for years is a bit ridiculous.
This is just a new specific use case being announced.
…so everyone privacy has to suffer.
Lol
You think that they haven’t had cameras covering every public inch of the parks for years now? You’re on camera every moment after you turn onto the property, the only exception being inside the restrooms.
This is just them using dedicated cameras and facial recognition for a specific purpose rather than general surveillance and monitoring.
Well, you can get the hardware now for one.
Would be an interesting comparison once it does release though. Especially for a price/performance comparison now that Sony increased PS5 pricing.
I feel like this is something Liam (The Plant Slant) would wear in one of his videos.
Wow… That’s a pretty fundamental mistake.
