Cryptography goes BRRRRR, with a proper implementation of cryptography you'd need to do things like patch out the keys in memory in order to "spoof" messages.

Im not a big gamer, but playing GTA Online, and getting taken out as soon as you spawn. Or items just spawning in front of you, like ramps. REALLY ruins the experience

I'm not there, but we use it at our place. It triggers on entirely innocent things I do.

And yet when I do something a bit dodgy (like query a DC with a cli, and reset credentials) it's silent...

Most places I've worked I've had the autonomy to re-install my machine to whatever OS I worked with, so was always Debian Linux.

Then I joined some mega-corp, with it's structures and set systems, so opted for a Macbook.

Worst mistake of my life, OSX is horrid, I'd rather use Windows.

I don't miss the days when every project had it's own SVN server....

And it's just a host of git, you can just jump platforms...

This is like crying that your favourite IRC network goes, then you just jump onto OFTC

Exactly, and the fact that friendster failed was because nobody was going onto it anymore, so there's nobody going to be hitting ads, other than bots.

The WayBack machine shows the redirect to the ad page offering the domain for sale.

So doesn't seem like it was serving ads anyway

Saying something is a "bubble" doesn't mean it'll go away entirely when it pops...

Which seems to be a lot of this article
