Shortest answer is always money. The richest man got much richer and plans to get richer yet after this.

Elon Musk’s net worth has climbed by more than $200 billion in 2024, a massive increase in the same year that the world’s richest person spent at least $277 million backing Donald Trump and other Republican candidates. 

The bulk of the increase, more than $170 billion, has come since Election Day.

You can make a windows registry change to have Chrome let you keep using uBlock Origin, with the V2 manifest. It will buy you six more months, basically the enterprise support period.

There was a handy shortcut created by the Security Now podcast you can use as a one-click file to update the policy. The show notes also give a more detailed breakdown of what's going on.

The relevant section in the notes is page 10. The link to the file is page 12. https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-995-notes.pdf

Rich dad poor dad. Rich dad never existed. It’s all made up grift and, consequentially, people fall for it and make expensive life investment decisions after it.

My great uncle worked in cobol on a Ge225 for the us army and then several banks. To program they had to print them out on punch cards. Once you loaded the programs they then had to set up a completely different algorithm for each bank as it sent in data because nothing had been standardized and they each had their own system. Once you did set up the banks’ approved formulas in their module of code, this computer could do operations on the data coming in over a connection. These computers were already on a phone line to the banks way before Internet was a concept!

Here’s a fun manual from the successor called the GE 235. http://s3data.computerhistory.org/brochures/ge.235.1964.102646091.pdf

Do you know what was going on in the first half of the 1940s??

 

knew he was a bad dude and a creep but holy hell.

Records state that the alleged events happened as early as Nov. 14, 2023, to as recent as July 31, 2024. The alleged assaults were reported on Aug. 9.

On Nov. 14, 2023, George is accused of pinning a woman to the ground, strangling her and slamming her head into the ground multiple times, resulting in post-concussion syndrome.

Between Nov. 1, 2023, and May 1, 2024, George allegedly followed a woman out to her car, demanded she exit the vehicle and held a gun to the window to "encourage her to exit the vehicle." Once she got out of the car, he put the gun to her stomach and escorted her back inside the home she fled, records state.

Between June 8-10, 2024, George allegedly tried to kill a woman by "shoving a towel down the victim's throat and stating 'You think God is going to help you?' while she was attempting to pray in the closet that she would not die." Furthermore, he refused to let the woman leave the residence and strangled and assaulted her.

Sometime between May 1, 2024, and July 31, 2024, he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman who had just gotten out of the shower.

On July 27, he allegedly threw a woman in a closet when she was trying to leave the residence.

George is not currently in custody.

 

From the signing of the kids lunch bill. I just feel like even the laziest version of this is pretty fun.
