2004 Honda Accord Coupe. Yup, screens even back then. (On the fancy models)

It’s… a trooper. First thing I did after I bought the car was purchase the service manuals for $400. It’s so easy to maintain.

I looked that up for my partners newer car. Annual subscription to a service manuals is $1500+.

Some cars do! Mine shows diagnostic info for the can bus and GPS by holding down a “secret” button combination. I’m sure other manufacturers do that too.

Walmart was name dropped in the letter, but I imagine grocery outlet and the like are also included.

The ambiguity works in the bank’s favor as they have an excuse to deny whatever they say applies.

One of my cards has a cash back reward up to 5% in categories. I often pick groceries as one, however I recently got a letter that discount grocery stores will be excluded.

I hope the CFPB loosens a couple teeth.

Ohh good point. Have a call center friend; heard stories…

I don’t think it’s terrorism either as I understand. Terrorism targets citizens for leverage.

Not saying you are wrong about the marginalized, but in this case she made, what could be considered threatening, a call to a health care provider that was not only actionable, but entirely recorded.

“The system” won’t make an example out of her, “Exhibit A” will. That’s the difference.

I imagine the “Delay, Deny, Depose” didn’t get her in trouble nearly as much as the “You people are next” part. Yeah, that’s a bit hostile there.

Should I worry?

I’ve had this stuff in logs since the late 90’s. It was concerning at first, but port scanning and scripts are the internet’s background static now.

Is this normal internet behaviour?

Yup. Welcome to self hosting!

Should I expect even worse kinds of attacks?

Not that it will happen, but good security expects attacks. I like to say “Obscurity is not security.”

What can I do to improve security on my website and try to block these kinds of requests/attacks?

As these scrips are targeting code you don’t run, they can be ignored relatively safely.

You can take a couple steps to lock things down like not responding to ping on WAN (less enticing to port scanning) locking down firewall settings, geolocation blocking, authentication, etc.

That said, if the script changed to something you DO host, you may be in for a bad day. Good to stay on top of security patches in that case.

“Donation”

Someone bought $1M of something behind closed doors. Plus a sweet tax write-off.

Google reeeeally thrilled at handing over $60,000,000 licensing reddit content for search now.

Lmao.

AI is a plaque upon housing in America.

It’s the first thing after the title. At least it wasn’t an AI article I suppose.

I kinda get that vibe from the police too. Just $10,000? Don’t try too hard there, now.

I was denied emergency life saving medication by my insurance (not united iir) and ended up in the hospital the next day for a week. Billed an average $15,000 a day each day.

After the bills came in, it was apparent someone/algorithm put me in the hospital to bill the most money for profit. It was a nasty trick.

Anyways, $10,000 seems like chump change to them. More of a “well, we tried” bounty.

You can use an expansion unit DX517 to add more dives or upgrade existing to larger ones if you use some form of Raid/SHR.

The swap-drive-and-rebuild-array route can take it’s sweet time.

Pedestrians were not part of this study.

This is my hunch too. Perhaps the UI is more distracting with Tesla’s implementation of screens/menus/feedback for car functions too.

Just pointing out the study emphasize occupant fatalities which I take as to exclude external fatalities such as other vehicles.

Still use mine in my cannon point and shoot. (Just as a storage device though) The software support has long ago suckified when “cloud” became all the rage, but it was awesome to sync camera <-> PC without messing with adapters or cables.

Bypassed standard FBI background checks … to vet candidates for criminal history and conflicts of interest.

Those are features, not bugs now. They know exactly who they picked.

Call me selfish, but I kinda hoped to retire above ground.
