We do protect the vulnerable from bad actors, when anybody tries to make large transfers of money the banks are required to check the validity of the transaction but ultimately if the individual insists what's the bank supposed to do. It's their money.

There is only so much that it is possible to do, and beyond a certain point you have to accept that scams are either going to happen or just take people's ability to control of their own money away from them, neither are particularly good options.

I feel like it's not just being tech-savvy though. He seems to lack basic common sense.

Why would you assume that a free car giveaway would necessitate you paying transfer fees, why wouldn't that have already been pre-arranged. After all it's a Tesla car presumably Tesla the ones who are going to deliver it. Additionally why would the competition be exclusive to a niche Facebook group and not a national campaign. It all just seems very obviously a scam.

My parents aren't particularly tech savvy and often send me AI garbage but they wouldn't be easy marks because both of them have critical thinking skills, or at least my mother does. But my dad has learnt to do what he's told.

I didn't actually witness, this but one of these scam call centres called my bosses bosses well he was attending a cybersecurity conference. Unfortunately there's no actual video of the event but apparently everyone involved had a good time stringing the idiot along for about 45 minutes.

The problem with that is what do you do if a game doesn't match all of the tags, do you hide it or do you show it. How many of the tags does it have to match in order to be shown?

For example Teardown is a story rich, FPS with destruction mechanics. But it don't have much in the way of weapons customisation, so do you want it, or not?

I've had jobs where I'm not able to talk about specifics but they're still plenty of good stories you can tell.

I'm putting a lot of effort into visiting the United States here. I think I'm just not going to bother.

I'm colour blind so there's basically only three colours on this graph but what I'm assuming is showing is that windows is decreasing in popularity and apparently so is OS X. I'm assuming the other colour is Linux or Chrome but no idea which is which.

For future reference, when making graphs make them in black and white first and if they are visually distinct then you can add whatever colours you want.

Given that it's the engine Egyptians, they'll be cat videos.

We had chickens growing up, but we had a large farm so they just sort of roamed around. I can't imagine trying to keep them in a back garden of a normal house.

Well they are competing with Minecraft.

I watched the gameplay trailer when it came out and I can't say it was particularly invigorating. It was mostly endlessly slash at zombies then endlessly slash skeletons.

Doesn't exactly scream deep combat mechanics.

Why would Europe move manufacturing to the US. It would be just as expensive as in Europe, if you were to move manufacturing elsewhere it would be to India.
