I wonder if Half Life is so slow on my netbook because of Wine or because of the shitty GPU. It is slower on software rendering mode, but when in OpenGL mode it's not using 100% CPU.

Cybercriminals are abusing Google’s infrastructure, creating emails that appear to come from Google in order to persuade people into handing over their Google account credentials. This attack, first flagged by Nick Johnson, the lead developer of the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a blockchain equivalent of the popular internet naming convention known as the Domain Name System (DNS). Nick received a very official looking security alert about a subpoena allegedly issued to Google by law enforcement to information contained in Nick’s Google account. A URL in the email pointed Nick to a sites.google.com page that looked like an exact copy of the official Google support portal.

As a computer savvy person, Nick spotted that the official site should have been hosted on accounts.google.com and not sites.google.com. The difference is that anyone with a Google account can create a website on sites.google.com. And that is exactly what the cybercriminals did. Attackers increasingly use Google Sites to host phishing pages because the domain appears trustworthy to most users and can bypass many security filters. One of those filters is DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), an email authentication protocol that allows the sending server to attach a digital signature to an email. If the target clicked either “Upload additional documents” or “View case”, they were redirected to an exact copy of the Google sign-in page designed to steal their login credentials. Your Google credentials are coveted prey, because they give access to core Google services like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Maps, Google Play, and YouTube, but also any third-party apps and services you have chosen to log in with your Google account. The signs to recognize this scam are the pages hosted at sites.google.com which should have been support.google.com and accounts.google.com and the sender address in the email header. Although it was signed by accounts.google.com, it was emailed by another address. If a person had all these accounts compromised in one go, this could easily lead to identity theft.

How to avoid scams like this

Don’t follow links in unsolicited emails or on unexpected websites.

Carefully look at the email headers when you receive an unexpected mail.

Verify the legitimacy of such emails through another, independent method.

Don’t use your Google account (or Facebook for that matter) to log in at other sites and services. Instead create an account on the service itself.

Technical details Analyzing the URL used in the attack on Nick, (https://sites.google.com[/]u/17918456/d/1W4M_jFajsC8YKeRJn6tt_b1Ja9Puh6_v/edit) where /u/17918456/ is a user or account identifier and /d/1W4M_jFajsC8YKeRJn6tt_b1Ja9Puh6_v/ identifies the exact page, the /edit part stands out like a sore thumb. DKIM-signed messages keep the signature during replays as long as the body remains unchanged. So if a malicious actor gets access to a previously legitimate DKIM-signed email, they can resend that exact message at any time, and it will still pass authentication. So, what the cybercriminals did was: Set up a Gmail account starting with me@ so the visible email would look as if it was addressed to “me.” Register an OAuth app and set the app name to match the phishing link Grant the OAuth app access to their Google account which triggers a legitimate security warning from no-reply@accounts.google.com This alert has a valid DKIM signature, with the content of the phishing email embedded in the body as the app name. Forward the message untouched which keeps the DKIM signature valid. Creating the application containing the entire text of the phishing message for its name, and preparing the landing page and fake login site may seem a lot of work. But once the criminals have completed the initial work, the procedure is easy enough to repeat once a page gets reported, which is not easy on sites.google.com. Nick submitted a bug report to Google about this. Google originally closed the report as ‘Working as Intended,’ but later Google got back to him and said it had reconsidered the matter and it will fix the OAuth bug.

Tech Support: Part 3

[1-2-3]

Yes, this was a real thing we had to help with once.

Even though he complains, Donnie feels a lot of pride being looked to as the family expert for these things, I’m sure. For all that Splinter probably doesn’t know the deep intricacies of computers, I’ll bet he knows the basics. Could there be a deeper meaning to his confusion?

I personally headcanon that Splinter is the one who introduced computers, phones, and appliances to his sons way back in the dumpster diving days, and probably showed Donnie how to fix his first toaster or something. However, the special interest kicked in hard and pretty soon Donnie could run circles around Splinter when it came to fixing and engineering stuff. Perhaps, this is a way Splinter can find time to partake in Donnie’s interests and boost his confidence despite being way out of his depth on technical know-how himself.

When you don’t have a lot, it’s important to be resourceful and handy with a quick fix. Donnie had to have started building stuff somewhere!

It makes it all the more bittersweet if they were really close only to have Splinter struggle to bond with Donnie when he’s a little older. Don’t worry though, they’ll figure it out :)

having INSANE di!leon brainrot rn so here goes:

dilf-coded neighbor leon that’s always gone and you can’t decide if it’s from crazy benders or some top secret governmental job (you decide it’s probably both) and you KNOW you should stay away but man full of secrets…and sexy…why would you?

one day you get a knock on your door and it’s him, and he’s asking for tech support (bcs old man) but all you can focus on are his low sweatpants and the way his shirt tightens when he moves (dear god) and his slutty little glasses??? i firmly believe that leon wears slutty frameless spectacles (like that one kole guy from tiktok…iykyk)

and you’re helping him reset his computer, hunched over the kitchen counter and trying every trick in the book, but it just won’t work, and he comes up behind you while you’re rubbing your temples in frustration like “it’s okay, honey, i’ll look at later.” speaking in this low soothing voice that makes you unconsciously hitch your breath. and he knows, because he’s pulling you into him, asking if you can help him out with something else instead

technical difficulties long forgotten, he’s spreading your thighs on the counter and eating you out messy and loud. he’s a talker. like he won’t stop moaning into your pussy and saying things like, “you like it when this old man takes care of you?” and praising how pretty you look rutting against him.

he gets his WHOLE face in there, nose constantly nuzzling against your clit, tongue flattening against your insides. he’s the kind of guy to experiment with his movements until you squeal and not let off when you finally do, drawing so many noises out of you that you have to bite the back of your hand.

and!! i thoroughly believe he would shortcircuit when you suck on his fingers. like, he has the impulse to move your hand away from your mouth and swipe his thumb along your bottom lip, but then you part your mouth to suck on his finger and he moans at the sight of it. and then he picks you up and throws you on the living room couch, no matter your weight! pretty soon he’s fucking you senseless while swearing that he’ll get a desk job, transfer departments, just so he can come home and spoil you every night like this <3
