The police believe that the motive behind this hacking was to reduce network-related costs, as torrent transfers can be costly for internet service providers. KT, however, claims that it was merely trying to manage traffic on its network to ensure a smooth user experience.

Sounds like they admit it but object to the negative tone lol

Yeah but it's funny in a different way; they are giving ignorant and condescending advice because while big cats have impressive hunting abilities, they don't normally hunt mice.

Modern version of this will be ChatGPT jailbreak messages

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.

This had me checking, fortunately SBF is currently in jail and almost certainly headed for prison. Also want to drop a reminder that McAfee publicly announced shortly before his death that he had no intention of suicide and expected assassination attempts after his incarceration.

Could someone translate wtf he is even trying to say with this? Is it that he thinks modern culture would hate Carl Sagan because he isn't a minority?

They probably just do this by default and the text of the appeal is never read or considered.

Coming from Reddit, the very existence of this thread is a breath of fresh air. That there are mod logs at all to be able to document this, that there is a place where it can be posted that is not under control of the mods being criticized, is an enormous improvement over an unaccountable centralized platform.

The amended lawsuit alleges that "Yuga colluded with fine arts broker, Defendant Sotheby's, to run a deceptive auction." After the sale, a Sotheby's representative described the winning bidder during a Twitter Spaces event as a "traditional" collector, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit said it turned out the auction buyer was now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, whose founder Sam Bankman-Fried is in jail awaiting trial on criminal charges.

I don't think it's fair to pin this all on people who got duped. Calling FTX, a company now known for throwing around large sums of stolen money to pump up the brand, bribe government officials, and fix prices, a "traditional collector", is beyond misleading.

This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2022-40982, enables a user to access and steal data from other users who share the same computer.

So just continue not letting people use my computer, got it. Very simple fix.

IIRC they aren't prosecuting these users, instead they want to make them be witnesses in a case against an ISP they want to say wasn't doing enough to stop piracy. The Reddit posts were about whether the ISP takes action against pirates or something like that.

You can use IRC to pirate ebooks that you won't be able to find on torrent sites.

In our chat, Huin implied that this kind of public analysis was not very useful because "gamers [almost] never get access to the same version of [a game] protected and unprotected. There might be over the lifetime of the game a protected and unprotected version, but these are not comparable because these are different builds over six months, many bug fixes, etc., which could make it better or worse."

So they are literally trying to say that Denuvo isn't the cause of performance slowdowns, because patches to the game since the version that got cracked made the game that much slower?
