As part of Project Texas[1], they've already been using Oracle's infrastructure.
> The central feature of Project Texas is our work with Oracle to isolate the TikTok services serving U.S. users within Oracle’s U.S. cloud environment as an additional safeguard. Although gateways to the storage infrastructure are strictly monitored and controlled, U.S. users of the TikTok platform can still communicate and interact with global users for a cohesive global experience.

True, but the original Steam was created for managing updates to Counter Strike and their anti-cheap system (VAC if memory serves me right). Also back when having a low WON ID (now SteamID) was a badge of honor (like having a low Slashdot account ID).

From a security perspective, as someone who enjoys cooking as a hobby, I thought it would be interesting to use a tactic-by-technique perspective. You could visualize the tactics and techniques as a matrix of cooking techniques grouped by tactics moving from researching menus, procuring ingredients, preparing ingredients, to cutting/trimming techniques, to cooking/grilling/sauteing, to plating/presenting.

On topic: I was just mentioned this book to a coworker last week. I highly suggest Scott Adams' book How to Fail at Almost Anything and Still Win Big.

Apparently, there's no _true_ offset for extended hours of sitting[1]. There might be some science/studies behind smart watches urging you to stand for a couple of minutes every hour, however.

It's extremely suspicious. Their exchange rate for BTC-USD is $6200 USD[1][2]? Yeah, I'll pass.
Well hey, on a side note, at least they have an, albeit likely fake, web trading platform that's publicly accessible before Robinhood. Lol.

Thanks. I was about to buy the book on Amazon for ~$90 but at least now I can give it a read first to see if it's worth, for me at least, buying.

Or 1) planting evidence (no need for extended wire taps, 2) voice recognition software for access control, and 3) nearly any other fraud that will exploit the acceptance/authorization of verbal consent.

>> then the FCC gave the cable companies a special exemption to allow them to start Encrypting the signal that is when they started to screw people over on the Box fees
