EA: Ruin Everything

When they got sold to ea, this was the only possible outcome anyway. Not sure if they sold out or ea did some corporate bullshit to force them to it, but they should have stayed away from ea if they wanted to keep making games.

What is behind the current Lemmy meme about 4 being a private key?

Reply in thread

I just dont understand why they would do this? Putting so shitty key is like they wanted to make it as insecure as possible. Even if the ones responsible were criminally stupid, they still should have understood that this is like leaving the whole thing unlocked.

And for such critical thing. Imagine if this wasnt discovered like this but instead by some competent malicious actor that had resources to coordinate some large scale attack and kept it hidden until just the right moment when they can strike at everything.

I also dont understand how little outrage there even is about this, we were really close to huge catastrophe. Or maybe i have misunderstood the severity of what happened.

Oikeustieteen emeritusprofessori varoittaa: Perustuslakivaliokunta on tullut tiensä päähän | Politiikkaradio

onko meillä vaan enää mitään sanavaltaa siihen miten tämä maa toimii? Se että voi äänestää tasan yhtä ihmistä eduskuntaan ja senkään ei ole pakko pitää yhtäkään asiaa mitä on lupaillut vaalien aikaan, tai se ei välttämättä edes voi vaikka haluaisikin koska valta on oikeasti puolueilla.

Tuolle asialle pitäisi tehdä jotain ensin.

Steam Client Is Now Faster Than Epic’s New Vibe Coded Launcher

Reply in thread

I want steam to have competition, steam being monopoly is scary as then it might turn bad one day. but epic doesnt want to compete. They try everything else but trying to make better product. And its pretty clear their ultimate goal is to be monopoly themselves by doing what they can to drive steam out of business but they fortunately keep failing because they cant comprehend why people prefer steam over their crappy things.

At least something good came out of them now, but that was likely just a fluke. If it wasnt then its good and hopefully they continue to goad steam to become better.

But I wish there was some service that tried to take steam on by doing better than they are doing.

Not cool: who hacked France’s supermarket fridges?

The scale of the attack doesnt seem like it was meant to cause problem with food suppily. While it was somewhat far reaching, it was still that one storechain. I think it was either test to gauge the response, some gray hacker exposing pretty horrible level of security in a way that cant be ignored or some random asshole causing problems because they can. Only benefit i can think of for state level actor would be to use this as distraction to something else.

With security level that shitty, it could easily have been just some random asshole causing problems for no reason at all. Doesnt take state level hacker to break into system where username is admin and password is just date of current day..

Good thing the storechain didnt get any money from insurance. maybe they and others will learn their lesson from amount of money lost. Imagine if every store has this shitty security and someone coordinated an attack on everywhere at the same time. What bad level of security does is it widens who is able to break into there. (state level actors would be able to break into almost anywhere that is civilian level security, i think. Some random mid tier hacker might not)
