Earlier this month, YouTube made the controversial decision to remove the public dislike count on all its videos, in an effort to discourage targeted harassment campaigns that seek to weaponize it. The dislike button itself still remains intact (and, if you negatively react to a piece of content, it will affect your future recommendations), but you cannot see how many other people have used it. Instead, the dislike count is now only visible to creators themselves and, even then, they will have to go out of their way to find that information in their analytics tab....

So what does threat hunting actually mean? How does it differ from penetration testing? And how does threat hunting strengthen your online security? What Is Threat Hunting? Threat hunting involves actively searching for signs of dangerous, unwanted activity. It’s the opposite of waiting to get a security platform alert about signs of trouble. Some people initially think penetration (pen) tests are the same as threat hunting exercises. However, a pen test aims to find all vulnerabilities and determine the risks of leaving them unaddressed....

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is jointly run by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is recording any potential side-effects experienced by people after they receive a vaccine. By the end of January, 32 cases of a decreased platelet count, 14 cases of thrombocytopenia, and 11 cases of immune thrombocytopenia were recorded in people who had received either Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccines in the U....

What Is Wi-Fi Sense? Wi-Fi Sense was a tool for Windows designed to collect data on public Wi-Fi hotspots, such as those available in coffee shops or public buildings. It would collect useful data about the hotspot, such as its speed and signal strength, and upload it to a database. As the database grew, the idea would be that as Windows products came near these hotspots, they would automatically connect....

Reuters reported on Wednesday that the White House was moving to break with tradition and refer to the massacre as genocide on April 24, the date of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. However, the news wire reported that the president could back out of the plan if he believes it will damage U.S. relations with Turkey. Ankara is expected to be angered by the move, should it go ahead. Asked if Biden would call the Armenian massacre an act of genocide in time for the Saturday memorial, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said: “I expect we will have more to say about Remembrance Day on Saturday....

On December 31, the comedian, 62, resurfaced a 2017 video of the Watch What Happens Live host, 54, pretending not to know her after replacing her on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live special. Griffin was fired from the network after she posed with a prop that appeared to be then-United States President Donald Trump’s bloodied head. “Ugh. Every year someone sends me this clip around New Year’s Eve,” Griffin wrote in the caption on Saturday....

One thing worth noting, however, is the fact that Lycoris Recoil is a brand-new series from A-1 Pictures. It’s not a sequel like the new season of Overlord, nor is it a new anime adaptation from a popular manga like Call of the Night. This means Lycoris Recoil doesn’t have a pre-existing audience that can’t wait to see the new anime, and yet they somehow manage to hit a home run with it....

Spy X Family is a comedy slice-of-life spy anime, adapted from a manga written by Tatsuya Endo and is currently serialized in Shounen Jump. It features the daily adventures of a spy using the alias Loid Forger, who in order to blend in during an important mission must pretend to have a family. He accomplishes this by adopting a young girl named Anya, who is secretly an esper, and by swiftly marrying Yor Briar, a city hall clerk who is a professional assassin at night....

The Duchess of Sussex revealed she had a miscarriage in July during a heartbreaking essay titled “The Losses We Share” published in the New York Times yesterday. She described how the tragedy left her believing “the only way to begin to heal is to first ask, ‘Are you OK?’” The realization led her to ask people to look out for one another on Thanksgiving today—even as Americans are forced by the pandemic to spend the holiday apart....

In a September 8 interview with WXYZ, Pence said, “We’ll continue to call on Congress to work with us to provide additional relief and direct payments to families and direct support for businesses in programs like the paycheck protection program.” Pence comments at the time came as congressional Republicans were pushing a $500 billion “skinny” stimulus proposal. The bill, pushed by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, allotted $105 billion to help schools reopen, a $258 billion second round of paycheck protection subsidies, a $300-per-week supplemental jobless benefit, $31 billion for a coronavirus vaccine, $16 billion for virus testing, $15 billion to help child care providers reopen, $20 billion in farmer aid, as well as a $10 billion dismissal of the U....

New Tales from the Borderlands is fresh for a number of different reasons. Rhys and Fiona won’t be the protagonists this time around and Gearbox Software will take the role of developer. Perhaps the biggest change of all, however, is the decision to abandon the episodic format the first used through 2014-2015. This is nothing new in the industry, however, as Life is Strange: True Colors did the same thing....

The practice of collecting body parts is nothing new, with civilizations dating back thousands of years taking remains as souvenirs or trophies. But in modern society, what would make a person want to own someone else’s body parts? According to Aaron Surtees, psychologist and founder of City Hypnosis, there are two areas of psychology at play with body part collection: the act of collecting, and the desire to collect this particularly grim set of items....

Three decades later, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, five Republican Supreme Court appointees found that stare decisis did not justify saving Roe v. Wade. But equally significant was that the majority rejected Casey’s conception of “legitimacy.” No longer would the Court’s legitimacy be tied to public opinion. To the contrary, a legitimate Court must decide, and even overrule cases without regard for popular sentiments. This monumental shift—far more than any new jurisprudence on abortion—will define how far this new conservative Court will have the fortitude to go....

The Duke of Sussex served two tours with the British Army and fought on the frontline in Helmand Province behind the controls of an Apache helicopter. He previously said he still thinks about “the casualties we saw, and those we saved,” but now Harry, like many veterans, is left watching the sacrifices made go up in flames. The Taliban has now taken every major city and already the U.N. Security Council has been warned of “mounting human rights violations against the women and girls of Afghanistan....

Rogan apologized for his past use of the N-word in a video posted on his Instagram account after Grammy-winning Black singer-songwriter India.Arie shared a video compilation showing the podcaster deploying the racial slur in clips of episodes over a 12-year period. In his video, Rogan said his use of the slur in the video compilation was “the most regretful and shameful thing that I’ve ever had to talk about publicly....

Meanwhile, those hoping to enjoy some seasonal action can look forward to the Season 2 return of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, which will see CIA officer Ryan (John Krasinski) venture down to Venezuela to investigate a suspicious shipment of illegal firearms entering and exiting the country. Dystopian World War II thriller The Man in the High Castle is also returning in November, with Season 4. November 1 A View to a Kill...

There’s even a thrilling new movie debuting on Thanksgiving day—The Flight Attendant, starring Kaley Cuoco. It’s not necessarily family-friendly, but the premise—which follows a flight attendant who wakes up next to a random dead man—is certainly something the family members allowed at the adult’s table might enjoy. Meanwhile, the comedy Superintelligence—starring Melissa McCarthy, Bobby Cannavale and James Corden—may be a better fit for all your relatives to watch on Thanksgiving day from your respective locations....

Healthcare reform is one of the top issues in the 2020 presidential campaign. This is especially true as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic—which has highlighted many of the shortcomings in our current system—and the pending lawsuit that aims to overturn the Affordable Care Act. The case is scheduled to be heard by the Supreme Court in November 2020. The court vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has added an additional sense urgency to the future of health care reform in the United States....

It’s a different approach to a game that many had issues with thanks to the gambling-centric nature of the loot boxes. You can still spend plenty of additional money on the game, though, like with packs that include various skins and other items. Right now, there’s an Overwatch 2: Watchpoint Pack available as what appears to be a game purchase instead of an add-on. Because of this, it may be a bit confusing as to what you actually need to play the game and what you get with this pack....
