The DMZ

@simon - I like the type of distortion in that synth just after 1 minute. As in, I would use that sound on one of our tracks, but the tune itself is too 'hardstyle' for me

David Freitag

@Simon TBH I don't really care about the movement, I care about what I think sounds good.

AviD

@Simon uhhh

Rory Alsop

I did try a couple of races back when they were a thing (last century)

Simon

@RoryAlsop Yeah the kick is very very very distorted, even for a Hardstyle track.

AviD

8:38 PM

what does undersstanding a movement have anything to do with enjoying bad music?

Rory Alsop

But they didn't move me. Probably because I was not on the right drugs

AviD

Wait, never mind, I think I answered myself there.

Rory Alsop

Oh, not the kick, the synth

Simon

OH.

AviD

@RoryAlsop you might use a few notes, right? Not make the whole song be that repetitively.

Rory Alsop

8:39 PM

That sound - I occasionally end up with sound like that when playing with the synths here, but I never remember how

AviD

@RoryAlsop drugs.

Rory Alsop

@AviD - yup #fogeystogether

AviD

heh. You really need to understand the whole fogey movement.

Q: Kaspersky Antivirus "secure connection scan" as broken as Superfish?

I've read a lot about Superfish (and similar adware) lately and I basically understand the vulnerability to MITM attacks. But I'm actually wondering if the "secure connection scan" by Kaspersky Antivirus (e.g.: https://support.kaspersky.com/6688) is as broken as the Superfish example? I mean Kas...

OH SNAP

> To scan encrypted connection Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 substitutes the required security certificate by the self-signed certificate.

Simon

Oh look, a newcomer that actually asks a good question.

Rory Alsop

@AviD Oh, I was sat next to a Kaspersky employee today

AviD

> Kaspersky Lab's experts recommend disable check of SSL-traffic:

David Freitag

@Simon Could be a sockpuppet.

AviD

GODDAMMIT YOU GUYS

Rory Alsop

@AviD wish I had seen this first - I could have heckled her

AviD

yes yes, they are all broken

Simon

@DavidFreitag Could be.

AviD

8:43 PM

yes yes antivirus vendors have an especially bad model

but I did think Kaspersky was one of the almost-good ones.

Simon

Yeah me too.

AviD

Today I realized that the Internet is broken beyond repair. Don't use it. Go out and make a friend.

Arperum

Last time they were hating on the beer like crazy for 10 minutes solid, and then noticed the huge banners everywhere from that beer. Then the singer was like "whoops, I think they might be the head sponsor..."
