It should be quite obvious that there is a housing crisis throughout California, and here in Del Norte County. Everyone is talking about it. Our leaders from the Governor all the way down to the Crescent City Planning Commission have made affordable housing a top priority. Billions of tax dollars – your tax dollars – have been piling up ready to be ignited into a fiscal bonfire of unimagined government generosity. Soon, government agencies will compete against each other to be the “most progressive.” All the attention will be focussed on expanding the number of “homeless” people so that more government money will be made available. As in the… Source link

The Flash episode “Funeral For A Friend” offered a touching tribute to Frost and a powerful lesson about grief, which was ruined by the final scene. Warning: Spoilers for The Flash season 8, episode 14, “Funeral For A Friend.” The aftermath of the death of Frost Snow in The Flash season 8, episode 14, “Funeral For A Friend” led to a twist involving Frost’s sister, Caitlin, and a mistake that negated the episode’s lesson. Most of the episode was devoted to examining how the individual members of Team Flash honored their fallen friend, showing that there are many ways to grieve a loved one and move on. Yet despite giving a touching eulogy for her younger sister, Caitlin was jarringly shown to have rejected this lesson and moved forward… Source link

F5 BIG-IP devices under attack, a proposed settlement on a Clearview AI lawsuit and Colonial Pipeline may be fined. Welcome to Cyber Security Today. It’s Wednesday May 11th, 2022. I’m Howard Solomon, contributing reporter on cybersecurity for ITWorldCanada.com. Last Friday I reported that a serious vulnerability had been found in F5 Network’s BIG-IP network security devices that need patching. This week security researchers said threat actors are already trying to exploit appliances that aren’t fixed and are open to the internet. According to researchers at Randori, hackers can gain access to devices by bypassing authentication processes if their management interfaces are publicly available. Usually that’s not the way these devices are set up. However, administrators of… Source link

Microsoft on Tuesday released critical software updates to fix at least 73 documented security flaws in the Windows ecosystem and warned that unknown attackers are already launching zero-day man-in-the-middle attacks. The zero-day, flagged as CVE-2022-26925, is described as a Windows LSA spoofing vulnerability that provides a path for attackers to authenticate to domain controllers. “An unauthenticated attacker could call a method on the LSARPC interface and coerce the domain controller to authenticate to the attacker using NTLM,” Microsoft warned in a barebones advisory that acknowledged the zero-day exploitation. “This security update detects anonymous connection attempts in LSARPC and disallows it,” Microsoft added. As is customary, the company did not provide any additional… Source link

Software maker Adobe on Tuesday shipped patches to cover at least 18 serious security defects in multiple enterprise-facing products and warned that unpatched systems are at risk of remote code execution attacks.

According to an advisory from Adobe, 10 of the 18 vulnerabilities were addressed in Adobe FrameMaker, the document processor used by large organizations to write and edit large or complex documents.

Ejiofor’s approach doesn’t mirror Bowie’s at all. It is an inspired contrast. Because we’ve seen who he becomes, he never actually appears frail. The audience never quite fears something will forever damage him, until he comes to understand emotional agony in a human sense. Newton was practically dissected alive, and the naturalness of Roeg’s simple cameras make it agonizingly real. Contemporary special effects are so improved, pain has become surreal. In the film, Newton is revealed to have a sexless body, at least as far as human anatomy goes. When Faraday enters a hotel room naked at one point in the series, Hatch commends him on his penis. Bill Nighy plays an older version of Thomas Newton in the series. This contradicts the movie. In the final scene… Source link
Read More »Mike Myers and Mike Myers star in The Pentaverate
Mike Myers, Lily West, and Mike Myers in The Pentaverate The Pentaverate, Netflix’s new conspiracy-laden six-episode comedy series, has many questions on its mind. Questions like, “Can objective truth exist in the digital age?” “What hole in the American spirit do fevered QAnon imaginings fill?” “Can a small group of elites ever be trusted to wield power on behalf of the masses?” And, of course, the biggest question of them all: “Does anyone actually want a Mike Myers political comedy with a bunch of dicks and vomit and accent jokes in the year of our lord 2022?” It has, after all, been 14 years since The Love Guru, Myers’ last star vehicle—a film so misguided, and so poorly received, that it ended his reign as one of Hollywood’s most consistently bankable comedy… Source link
Read More »Even The Flash Admits Eddie Thawne’s Death Was Pointless
The Flash season 8 used the apparent resurrection of Eddie Thawne to acknowledge that his sacrifice to stop the Reverse-Flash was completely futile. Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for The Flash season 8. A critical meta commentary in The Flash season 8 affirmed just how pointless the death of Eddie Thawne ultimately was. Introduced into the series as a Detective with the CCPD, Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett) was also an ancestor of the Reverse-Flash, Eobard Thawne (Matt Letscher). Eddie took his own life in The Flash season 1 finale in an effort to end the menace of the Reverse-Flash once and for all. Sadly, this effort proved completely ineffectual, and the character was largely forgotten until The Flash season 8 brought him… Source link

Read More »Mike Myers’ ‘The Pentaverate’ Is an Embarrassingly Bad Sendup of Conspiracy Theories
Netflix The idea for The Pentaverate dates back to 1993—and so too does its humor. Based on a riff from 1993’s So I Married an Axe Murderer, Mike Myers’ six-part Netflix series (out today) is a return to the former Saturday Night Live star’s Peter Sellers-ish comedic roots, affording him the opportunity to play a variety of disparate characters with prosthetic-make-up faces and exaggerated accents. It’s a routine that once paid blockbuster dividends via the Austin Powers franchise but has been DOA since 2008’s disastrous The Love Guru. Nonetheless, time hasn’t dimmed Myers’ enthusiasm for this particular brand of nonsense, which is unfortunate given that his latest is a tiresome compendium of half-formed characters, weak social commentary and so many groan-worthy penis… Source link
