    RDP2 has been cracked by glitching. You first need to downgrade RDP2 to RDP1 then do the RDP1 bootloader glitch. It's not exactly easy but it's well documented and can be done give…

    First I'd like to point out that "Decryptor" is an ill-chosen term: there's no encryption mechanism here, RDP is a software lock based on an internal flash state. This dongle is ve…

    I've tried this locally on a known-vulnerable piece of software using the hugginface Q8 model + llama. It did find the vuln when given the entrypoint in the lib and user-controlled…

    AFAIK you don't need a credit card linked to the account, you can get in-store credit from selling the guaranteed drop items from playing a few matches, this is enough to get you s…

    Read up on the story, look at the influencers promoting it and the ecosystem that grew around it. Valve is willfully running a casino for underage and have bypassed local laws that…

    I didn't downvote you (my account is low reputation) but your argument is weak: that some skins go for absurd amount of money says nothing of the rest of the ecosystem. There can b…

    They're running an online casino directed at children and have made specific adaptations to bypass legal regulations in several countries.

    They did this to take a bigger cut of the market because most trades happened off-platform. This new update ensures that they will sell more of their new items through their shop (…

    Look at the "meta-"game mechanics: you play a few games, you get a guaranteed case drop. This circa $3 case could contain anything, a $0.2 skin or a rare $2500 knife. When you open…

    I doubt it's going to change anything, this manipulated market will adapt and continue to extract money from kids. The cynic in me could even say that this change was pushed by Val…

    It doesn't "feel" like gambling, it's straight 100% the exact same thing but it's designed in a way that bypasses the legal words.

    On company laptops this isn't always true, for instance here's the spec sheet of the ThinkPad T14 (this seems to be true for all ThinkPad models): https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/p/la…

    There are already a bunch of studies showing that the ozempic causes massive muscle loss and lessens bone density. And before anyone remarks "just do resistance training", I doubt …

    The article advocates for even more market fragmentation? Even though that isn't the issue at all?

    There's supposedly a fix being deployed ( https://x.com/George_Kurtz/status/1814235001745027317 ). Since it's a channel update I'm assuming that it would be downloaded automaticall…

    There totally is authenticated RCE, for instance a PHP page that contains a RCE but needs a prior authentication to access the resource. All RCEs are classified in either unauthent…
