Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Dnsmasq provides functionality for serving DNS, DHCP, router advertisements and network boot. We discovered seven distinct issues over the course of our regular internal security assessments.
There are an estimated 750 million wifi routers on the planet and many of them are using dnsmasq. There is a very high probability that YOU reading this right now have dnsmasq installed on your wifi router or other devices in your home. Android devices and most major Linux distributions are also effected.
According to Shodan.io there are 1,089,035 public facing devices running dnsmasq[^].
Update your devices.
Best Wishes,

Yeah, good luck with that! 
My company phone was new in April. It should finally be getting the July "BroadPwn" patch some time this week. And so long as nothing goes wrong, it should be upgrading from v6.0.1 to v7.x some time this month - only two months after v8 was released.
Android phone updates are sloooooooow.

The sci-fi trope might now be put to rest after scientists find the suggestion that reality is computer generated is in principle impossible, writes Andrew Masterson. So, life's not but a walking shadow?

Ya think?!??
Sorta obvious, but whatevah

well, since you can`t use computer in WOW or DND, those world must be real and not computer generated , right?

Odd that they only consider our technology capability.
It's rather ignorant to assume humans would simulate human life.
If this were a simulation, it's likely done by creatures studying something with better technology.

Actually, they're considering fundamental mathematical principles of computability as applied to particle physics and quantum states - nothing to do with our technology.

In this universe. Who's to say whether the same rules apply outside of our simulation?

My thoughts exactly, when I read the article. If we are in a simulation, how could we possibly know any rule or law outside of it?
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Are they sure about that? somehow I get the feeling that whoever is running the simulation might be on to us...

Ringel and Kovrizhi showed that attempts to use quantum Monte Carlo to model systems exhibiting anomalies, such as the quantum Hall effect, will always become unworkable.
All that proves is that the simulation has a bug.

Microsoft Researchers are presenting a new method to easily share content in meetings using multiple projectors and depth sensors to immerse meeting goers in their presentations. As everyone has asked for

Different screens on each wall and a round table?! 
So MS has decided it's unfair that only the half of the table nominally facing away from the projection should leave the meeting with neckstrain?!

Oracle Corp. Sunday announced the next generation of its database, which founder and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison said will be able to handle key tasks such as critical software patches automatically. Larry is my co-pilot
Patches automatically being applied. Yeah, no way for that to go wrong.

Ellison got it all wrong - the the isn't wasted on applying the patch, but on checking it... Can Oracle's 'AI' do that?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
