Easyjet hacked: 9 million people's data accessed plus 2,200 folks' credit card details grabbed

"The Information Commissioner’s Office said in a prepared statement that it has “a live investigation into the cyber attack involving easyJet” but did not answer questions about when Easyjet notified it of the hack. The agency has previously said it will not be enforcing data protection or freedom of information laws during the coronavirus pandemic, something noticed by Wired magazine today."

Wait, what?!?

CEO of AI surveillance upstart Banjo walks the plank after white supremacist past sinks contracts

This is an interesting and difficult area. We can't really judge as we only have a one page summary, but a few points stuck out for me while forming an opinion, as mentioned by someone else replying to this, one fundamental aspect is proof that they learned.

1) "Patton had not publicly acknowledged his white supremacist past despite talking extensively about his back story in magazine articles about Banjo’s formation."

2) "But prosecutors tracked Patton down, and he pleaded guilty to a charge of juvenile delinquency connected to the shooting, giving testimony in order to receive a more lenient sentence. He did not spend any time behind bars while his associates served 27 and 42 months in prison for federal hate crimes."

From the above, it looks more like he committed a crime, ran, informed on accomplices to avoid jail-time and then proceeded to cover it up.

I'm not saying he should start every interview with, "I committed a federal hate crime". But he could of mentioned he has had trouble with the law in the past, etc... If he had presented himself as what he is now claiming, "reformed" he would of been in a stronger position when the truth inevitably came out.

Re: Decentralised

I think the only thing you missed was that it is Governments the world over making them.

Don't think any people deserve Trump.

Even if they voted for him and love him.

They don't deserve him just because they believed his lies.

Re: Very worthy

Check it with GPUz, my 780 is reporting 30% usage in windows and GPUz shows 99%.

Re: Very worthy

I'm running a system with two graphics cards, and the processor often sits idle. I think some WU are GPU specific. But the processor does get one occasionally. I expect more will start arriving once they scale up the work allocation servers.

I would just leave it on ready for the WUs when they arrive.

Also you could look at sticking in an older GPU, I just added a GT640 and it's getting WU allocations.

I seem to remember this was available on the early PS3, but was removed. They should look at rolling it as an app for ps4 & Xbox One.
