When A Ransomware attack targets something as A hospital, he quickly becomes A high profile event that naturally results In public outrage. Hospitals are supposed has be safety nets For Company, A place has go When he all go fake, And paralyzing their operations For monetary earn by socket on their information systems East just beyond THE pale. Tactically, However, he makes sense; their unique position In Company seems has TO DO he more likely that they go pay upwards.

Which East Why THE in progress cyber attack against car dealers East A little embarrassing — can You think of A less friendly victim apart Since maybe THE Internal Income Service? SO Again, were not In THE Ransomware business, SO maybe This attack makes GOOD financial sense. And Really, judge by THE business model of THE primary target of these the attacks, A business called CDK Global, he was probably A clever move. We had No idea that there was such A thing as A "Merchant Management System" that takes care of All Since funding has service, And that closing down A the company system could paralyze A entire industry, but there he is.

Water can seem as THE enemy For anybody WHO gets In worry while swimming, but It is Really time that they are struggle. Even A strong swimmer can quickly become exhausted struggle wind And waves; add In THE hypothermia How's it going Ultimately together In even In water as hot as A bath, And THE difference between life And the death can come down has seconds. Get help has A wade swimmer is not it easy, However, as lifeguards can only swim SO fast.

But A new from a distance exploited rescue boat goals has change that, by get has someone In worry as fast as possible. Appointed EMILIE, For "Emergency Integrated Save lives Cord," THE unit East A compact electrically powered rescue boat that can be quickly deployed by the lifeguards, WHO from a distance pilot he has THE victim. THE boats bridge East covered with What looks as survival gear, most of which would be probably be of more to use has THE Lifeguard on their arrival that has THE swimmer, WHO would be likely just to use THE boat For flotation. As such, This makes path more sense that Sending in progress A drone out there, which has best could only drop A life ring. HAS $12,000 A piece, these boats are not cheap, but For THE families WHO lost their children In 2022 WHO donated them, they probably seem as enough A to bargain. Here is hoping they pay off.

We can't be Of course, but We have obtained A wave memory of playing A game called Lunar Landing path back In THE day. He would be likely to have has been on A TRS-80 In OUR local Radio Hut store, And if memory serves, We Never obtained particularly GOOD has THE text based simulator. Fortunately, However, We can NOW has less attempt has force OUR lack of SKILLS disabled on A 55 years bug In THE software. Recently discovered by THE perfectly appointed Martin vs. Martin while trying has to optimise THE fuel burn calendar has to land gently with THE most fuel remaining — THE key has A high score, as We reminder — THE bug makes he SO A tiny change In burn rate given savagely different results. THE autopsy of her research And THE analysis of THE coded, writing by high school student Jimmy Storer only month After THE real moon landing In 1969, East very interesting. We especially appreciated THE knowledge In how Storer wrote he, revealed via staff communications. It is A great look has A piece of computer history, And Hats disabled has both Storer And Martin — although We do not have seen A CVE job For This again.

We know that Minitel terminals are very to collect, but This East ridiculous. Granted, THE Minitel busy A unique place In computer history, And THE square design of THE original CRT And keyboard Terminal was not without It is charms. But This particular Terminal seems has to have had A Very Bad Day In THE recent pass And East NOW on THE chop block For A simple €430. HAS be fair, THE eBay user In France has listed THE Dalí style Minitel as A object of art; has that price, marry as has has less get a few usable rooms Since he has fix other terminals, but that doesn't seem likely. Someone will probably buy he, However — No accounting For taste.

And Finally, AnimaGraffs East back, This time with A deep dive In THE Bell 407 helicopter. We have has been big Fans of her work For A while And to have Featured A little of her videos In This space, including
