  • Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly. It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home. They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.

    Who says they didn’t???

    Even if Mr Swenson had used the same username and password on other sites, and if those credentials had been leaked online, that still should not have been enough to access the video feed or to control the robot remotely. These features are supposed to be protected by a four-digit PIN. The PIN code was only checked by the app, rather than by the server or robot.

    I don’t even…







  • The only thing that zoos are great for in the internet age is to help maintaining the diversity in an endangered species gene pool.

    However, when it comes to China and pandas it would be wise to think twice. The pandas are on loan from China and on multiple occasions, when fx there has been a diplomatic conflict, pandas have been requested by China to be sent back.

    The main reason China send pandas abroad is not to helping the species survive but to have diplomatic aces up their sleeve.

    Because of this and that animals caged up / brought to a habitat that is not natural to them is cruel/wrong, it’s just better to either travel to China and go on a Panda safari or just put on a YouTube playlist of 4 hours of panda videos.





  • What in “Not that I think Intel wouldn’t cheat, because they’ve showed what they’re “capable of” time after time…” was unclear for you? Your conclusion from the above statement is that I’m probably a shill or just doesn’t know IT as good as you because I don’t agree with you on the spot? Really? Is that what you using your full mental capacity was able to conclude from my statement?

    Let me just clear up it a little for you: The issue isn’t that Intel was (is) an asshole, it’s that you blurb out unsubstantiated claims and when called out on it you claim that there’s a conspiracy lead by Intel, all the journalists are on it but we all should take your word for it.

    We both have all the information in the world literally in our hands and still you are unable to link to facts that support your statement and that is my fault somehow?

    Nice talking to you. Have an awesome weekend. I will.


  • Let me repeat myself: I’m not defending Intel in any way. I’ve seen a lot of shit and murky business practices going down since the beginning of the 90’s when I started my career in IT, so I have no trouble believing that Intel did it again and again.

    However, it’s not that hard to back claims you make with facts when on the internet. Normally ou can link whatever with two clicks maximum.

    Still no one seems to want to help me read up on Pentium 4 and Intel cheating.

    The ICC “optimization”, as far as I remember it, was related to the Xeon line of processors. If it was P4 related, please link so that I can read up on it.

    [General Rant and not about you]I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to post links that back their claims. If you post a link you give people the opportunity to learn. If you don’t, it’s like you just want to be right and nothing else.



  • I’m not going to say you’re wrong but I’m surprised. It’s like we lived in alternate universes.

    Not that I think Intel wouldn’t cheat, because they’ve showed what they’re “capable of” time after time, but what I remember about Athlon vs P4 was that there was something about heat and wattage specified by AMD that was criticized heavily. Athlon was also not something you’d choose for overclock because of this.

    I just googled a little and there didn’t seem to be a trace of any controversy around P4 and tailormade compiler.
