Being the parent of a child in the boys age, this was incredibly hard to read. I started yesterday, stopped half way through, could not sleep at first, woke up in the morning to finish the story. To me, as a non-native english speaker, the story is very well written to paint an extensive picture of the events unfolding as well of the environment, which made it much more frightening.

Errrr, you can install drivers outside of windows update. Your hardware will continue working fine. Just that you will have to install the driver manually.
Good luck finding them still. If they are not on archive.org, you are out of luck. And if that ceases to exist, even more.
I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera.
I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings.
I have a doorbell camera, and by analysing the footage using OpenCV and some code, I can track how fast people drive if you see how fast they move between two known points.
Average speed: 46 km/h :(
Man, please share a tutorial

TF2 was a great game and a halloween tradition for me and some friends. Unfortunately it became public-unplayable with all the bots going on and around.

Whats going on with the special snowflakes trying to get attention? First the WordPress-guy, now this one. Maybe we should all acknowledge that we are much less important than we would like to. And thats OK.
The sad but funny part of this is: If I sent this to my computer science class of 12-13 year olds, 50% would not even get the joke and just go and play it like their usual brainrot cookie clicker.
Having been in the field for some time and having some contacts, I must say: 100% of the companies where I get some insights are currently either already building alternatives or reviewing their options with a strong intention to leave VMware behind. And in many cases this is quite a huge task, but certainly doable with the required momentum.

My question is: How did Scott Helme end up with a password hash that features his own name?
