An open pit at an elevation of 1.5km still means the bottom of the pit could be 1km higher than the place the ore is processed at

Depends on the scale of "going down". Many mines are in the mountains and the material has to be brought down to lower elevations. The mine entry may be lower than the nearest pass but still a lot higher than the destination of the ore.

• Being offended by somebody "calling themselves straight" is stupid and fragile.

• Being "proud of being straight because somebody else is proud of being queer" is stupid and fragile.

• Being "content with being straight and wanting to label yourself as such in an environment where that makes sense" is reasonable.

I dont play the game so I dont know the context but I assume labeling yourself straight does not make sense in a fishing game and as such it is most likely about the second point

Great game, really nice visuals and nice (very trippy) soundtrack. I tried to be a "good" cult leader, trying to ressurect everybody that "died" (most got sacrificed before they could die of old age), but some people should stay dead. And mourning and sadness is just another reason to put everybody on shrooms again

You didn't read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn't fit into the games setting and doesn't even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

I found the article to very informative and not at all "gamergatey".

Its points are:

• this is the scene
• it is bad
• here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
• "its a BioWare self insert"
• this is how they could have handled it better
• the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

That is the "low tech"; works 100% of the time; will make your live easier in the future solution.

It takes longer than remounting but getting rid of a NTFS drive in a Linux only environment is a good move.

Client isolation doesn't help. That is just the access point not routing traffic between connected devices. The problem with WiFi is it is a radio signal. Everybody in range can receive 100% of all communication on that network. Just by being in range the attacker can do passive sniffing. No wiretap needed like with cabled networks.

WiFi is encryoed if it uses a password. So any public WiFi without a password can be sniffed by literally every device in range (no need to connect to the WiFi for sniffing). On public WiFi with a password, the radio signal is encrypted but everybody knows the encryption key. So everybody connected to the WiFi can still sniff the traffic of everybody else.

That encryption is only on the WiFi level, so encrypted radio signals, not on the actually traffic level (like TLS/HTTPS etc).

No, why would it? It will run code in the context of the current user which is absolutely enough to start a new process that will run in the background, download more code from a attacker server and allow remote access. The attacker will only have as much permissions as the user executing the code but that is enough to steal their files, run a keyloggers, steal their sessions for other websites etc.

They can try to escalate to the admin user, but when targeting private victims, all the data that is worth stealing is available to the user and does not require admin privs.

Yes but "the biggest problem" is most certainly not the lack of insurance for the daughter. Its a untrained child playing with the live of a patient.

If somemebody drills a hole into my skull I dont give a shit about their insurance.

Insurance protects them not me. This is absolutely about the doctor putting the patient into a huge unnecessary risk without the patients consent.
