Concept for deterring the selection of "no tip" (not real)
  • Not strictly true. CVS, a US retailer, announced they would be donating $10 million to a charity and would be supporting the charity via customer round-up prompts as well.

    In reality, they were including the customer donations in the $10 million, so anything customers donated saved them money.

  • Introducing a New Vulnerability Class: False File Immutability
  • TL;DR: Things are written to assume that files opened exclusively cannot change. Windows enforces that write protection on files in the filesystem driver. If you open a file over a network from a non-Windows filesystem, that assumption may not be valid.

    This allows an attacker to abuse paging to have the system validate a correctly-signed file, then swap out the contents.

  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Review Thread
  • Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren't likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.

    It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.

  • 75 sickened as McDonald's severe E. Coli outbreak expands
  • Gotta love the McD hate in this case.

    The problem item is onions from a major processor. Burger King had a SKU recalled too, along with most of the processed onions from both Sysco and US Foods, which supply most restaurants. It goes way beyond McD.

  • Sainsbury Wing contractors find 1990 letter from donor anticipating their demolition of false columns
  • The note reads:

    IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS NOTE YOU MUST BE ENGAGED IN DEMOLISHING ONE OF THE FALSE COLUMNS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE FOYER OF THE SAINSBURY WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FALSE COLUMNS ARE A MISTAKE OF THE ARCHITECT AND THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO REGRET OUR ACCEPTING THIS DETAIL OF HIS DESIGN.

    LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE DONORS OF THIS BUILDING IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT YOUR GENERATION HAS DECIDED TO DISPENSE WITH THE UNNECESSARY COLUMNS.
