With the Rise of AI, Cisco Sounds an Urgent Alarm About the Risks of Aging Tech
Generative AI is making it even easier for attackers to exploit old and often forgotten network equipment. Replacing it takes investment, but Cisco is making the case that it’s worth it.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

This. I really don't need to see another super hero (or villian) origin story on film. I don't care if it's Batman, the X-Men, or Bob the Super Plumber who was bitten by a radioactive toilet plunger. Just get on with it.
All the best superhero movies have been the ones that just take the presence of the lead as a given and have them show up doing the things the whole audience already knows they do. This obsession with arcs and origins is exhausting.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark

Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap

The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name

He did this six times

Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel
what did ruth mean when she said her steakhouse was "chris"

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

I mean, I'm no expert on overthrowing democratic systems of government, but I think maybe perhaps leaving your troops destitute because you've shutdown the country to avoid being further implicated in a big old noncing scandal is not a great way to go about it.

Man, tariffs are like magic. Is there anything they can't do?
Trump layers lies on top of each other: "Of the 8 wars I ended, I would say 5 or 6 were ended because of tariffs."
