MicroWave OP , in The Biden Administration is tackling smart devices with a new cybersecurity label
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

The Biden Administration is unveiling a new cybersecurity label for smart devices today. In a press briefing, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said the new label, called the US Cyber Trust Mark, will signify that devices bearing it meet security standards based on those established in a report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The voluntary program is expected to be in place in 2024, with the labels hitting devices “soon after.”

Aliendelarge ,

This is how I know the device only serves as a bug for the US and its allies, which I guess is probably an improvent.

MicroWave OP , in No winner in Monday's Powerball drawing has the next jackpot approaching $1 billion
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

The new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing would be the third highest in U.S. history and will keep growing until someone wins. Ticket buyers have a chance at $1 billion paid out in yearly increments or a $516.8 million one-time lump sum before taxes.

JackbyDev ,

Always take the lump sum. Pay off your debts then stick it into reliable investments and live off the income from it.

Random but your Netscape avatar is awesome.

ryathal ,

With a 500m lump sum, you could also take a 100k to just blow on whatever you want with basically 0 impact. You definitely need to limit though l.

JackbyDev ,

I’ve thought about it a lot. Blowing any money is going to be dangerous because you’re risking getting addicted to that ever increasing spending.

I sit here and say that but probably would blow through a lot lol.

ryathal ,

You need to blow some, more a a psychological reward than anything. The problem is definitely not increasing your standard of living to unsustainable levels, it’s not mega yacht money, but you could have a nice boat.

JackbyDev ,

There was a short story or thought experiment or something about this man who won a silk robe. To properly enjoy it he wanted to have a fancy tea served in a fancy pot. Then he wanted a nice chair to be in. It kept growing and growing. I don’t remember the details but it is definitely a good illustration of lifestyle inflation.

Time to waste $3!

Hey that $3 buys me the ability to daydream about my life as a multimillionaire for a couple days, before I crash back to reality slightly less satisfied than before!

VentraSqwal , in No winner in Monday's Powerball drawing has the next jackpot approaching $1 billion

On the one hand, what a waste of money. But I can’t help but imagine if I won, that would change my life…

RagingNerdoholic ,

Congratulations!

Now you’re fucked…

Kerred ,

If you want to be depressed, look at what happened to most lottery winner’s lives. Or an average NFL player. Or anyone gets a huge cash windfall.

The best situations are gradual increases in wealth

@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe so, but I’d take my chances with hundreds of million dollars.

Wear a full body spandex suit when you collect, so nobody can identify you. And spend very gradually. And never speak of it.

Klear ,

The odds of winning the jackpot are basically the same whether you enter or not.

elucubra ,

If you don't enter, you have certainty of not winning

Klear ,

…and if you do enter, you are still certain not to win for all reasonable definitions of “certain”.

MicroWave OP , in Trump's classified documents case set for first pretrial conference hearing before Judge Cannon
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

At issue during Tuesday’s arguments is a 1980 law known as the Classified Information Procedures Act. That statute governs how classified information is handled by the parties in a criminal prosecution. It’s meant to balance a defendant’s right to access evidence that prosecutors intend to use in a case against the government’s interest in safeguarding sensitive and secret information.

In the context of IOT, the S stands for “security”.

Jack, A Special Council Pod Cast All the episodes are great, this one is about CISA specifically.

DogMuffins ,

I want to listen to this but I also don’t want to spend any time thinking about this stuff.

Dressedlikeapenguin ,

That’s fair. I can’t help myself. The host also does The Daily Beans News with Swearing. She does an a great job of informing. They also get spicy on Jack too. Humours and irreverent but in a good way.

MicroWave OP , in Pay Raises Are Finally Beating Inflation After Two Years of Falling Behind
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Some good news

Raises for lower-income workers were particularly strong in early 2023. Restaurants, hotels and similar businesses hired at a brisk pace to cater to customers eager for services that were limited initially in the Covid-19 pandemic. While leisure and hospitality employment gains have slowed in recent months, workers in the industry saw their hourly pay rise faster than overall wage growth and inflation.

Wages for manufacturing and business-services workers are also outpacing inflation. Pay gains have been narrower in the tech-heavy information sector, where several large companies have cut staff.

God damn… I looked this person up, expecting some asshole white guy,… and it’s a black woman. Hate and bigotry really transcends race and gender.
