That’s honestly what I would do if I could retire early, just go back to uni to study something that catches my fancy

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I isolated the warm-water pipes today
4·2 months agoI actually thought it’s advised against isolating drinking water hot water pipes because of legionnaires disease. If the water in the pipes doesn’t cool down fast enough but stays stagnant and warm for prolonged periods of time, you risk growing the bacteria

Technology@lemmy.world•AMD changes rules, denies researcher $10,000 bounty after taking 124 days to patch security flawEnglish
17·4 months agoExcept when he responsibly disclosed to AMD, they closed the ticket as “out of scope” without any further communication. He then made a blog post about it warning other users about the vulnerability since ostensibly, AMD didn’t want to fix it. Only after that post had gone viral AMD suddenly came back saying that despite the ticket being closed as such, their internal security team was still analysing it and he should’ve somehow known that and that he violated the TOC of the bug bounty program (remember, after saying that the vulnerability was out of scope of the program). Additionally AMD then changes those terms a month after the initial ticket to suddenly say that even if the ticket is refused, you’re still not allowed to talk about it. Then to top it off they take a month longer to fix it then is industry standard, don’t disclose the fix to the researcher as is customary until a few days before release and only because he kept badgering them and as the cherry don’t tell their users that the only way to securely fix this is by uninstalling and reinstalling. Everything about it is scummy behaviour all around.

Here they just adjust the definition of “late”. By now iirc a train needs to be more than 7m delayed before it’s considered late in the statistics
