Saw a post about their show not happening any more and their subreddit seems to be on panic mode? Screenshot of h3 announcement

I know it's related to this PHP vulnerability fallout, and the memes are hilarious, but what does 4 have to do with it?

Image posted to the political humor sub: image. The title said that this was related to a Ramaswamy ad.

There's so many stories of Republicans being awful in this election cycle, somehow I missed this one.

So what's going on here?

I keep seeing references to something about the number 4 being cryptographically secure, anyone familiar with what they are talking about?

Recently, the PS5 has been getting its games emulated on PC at like 60+ fps from what I hear. The emulation scene for PS5 was none-existent at the start of 2026 afaik, so the only conclusion that makes sense to me is that Generative AI was used to start and speed up PS5 emulation in mid-2026.

Generative AI has also seemed to speed up the process in which PC Ports of games are made and allow people to do things like putting GameCube games on 3DS or browsers.

I have my own opinions about how ethical/unethical Gen AI's usage is for these things. All I'll say here is that since these Gen AI PC ports and emulators are hardly tested (only a few hours tested before released it seems), you don't know if it might hallucinate hours into the experience and corrupt the save data or delete some random folder on your PC, etc.

That being said, getting to my question, if Generative AI is able to almost instantly (or in like a day or two) emulate PS5 games and if it's able to make all of these PC Ports, even for games that haven't been decompiled, why does the Switch 2 require a "jailbreak" before people are able to use generative AI on it?

Even if jailbreak is necessary to make human-made mods, can't Generative AI skip the jailbreak part? That's what I'm really confused about.

Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/ofcom-4chan-online-safety-act-fine-b3012189.html That's the latest information I could find anyway.

My understanding is: online safety act (OSA) happens in July, 4chan refuses to comply as they aren't a UK business and sue UK's regulator OFCOM. US court throws out the lawsuit but also won't help OFCOM collect the £500,000 in fines OFCOM wants from 4chan.

Apparently the next step is to ISP block 4chan? How likely is that? I use 4chan for purely the video game boards; it's fun to talk shit about games with others. How likely am I to "lose" that?

This might also be an ELI5 too.

Reuters - Government websites go dark as vulnerabilities in programming language

National Cyber Security Centre post

I'm a Silicon Valley native though I don't work in tech. Others here may also want more info on the tech side of things. As for me~

What I understand: It's bad, and everything uses PHP.

What else I want to know: What's "everything"? Will it affect things I'm using? Google drive? Gmail / Yahoo Mail? Firefox / Chrome browsers? Salesforce? discord? Windows? reddit??

Thanks!

Wondering if there is more to it other than a black bird on a red background with a stripe? Is there deeper symbolism or is it just people having fun dunking on the Falcons?

I read that they had a password with just the number 4 but I dont understand it really.

Also, is this related to the PHP issue?

I've been seeing these three names all over social media lately, with people claiming they're aliens or reptilian beings disguised as humans. From what I've seen, people have been comparing photos and videos of them and making memes about their appearances.

Here's an article discussing the trend: https://www.thejournal.ie/internet-diaries-trump-alien-lizards-white-house-susan-dell-7194165-Oct2026/

Honestly, I find the whole theory pretty ridiculous. Having unusual facial expressions or looking different in a photo isn't evidence that someone is an alien. I understand that some people are joking, but it's strange how quickly a few pictures can turn into a full-blown conspiracy theory.

What's the actual context behind this trend? Was there a specific post or video that started it, or did it develop gradually as people began comparing the three?

It started with this tweet and I'm seeing it QRTed a lot. Did something happen recently?

I keep seeing things about this person but I have no clue who they are. The sub says I need to include a link and this post is what made me ask this question. https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddychicanery/comments/1xcma0w/elizabeth_holmes_is_a_breaking_bad_fan/

He’s that Cinder Fall vs Mecha Sonic guy what did he do as someone who doesn’t know what happened to him after he got banned from the r/DeathBattleMatchups Subreddit?

I am a sports fan (baseball, soccer, hockey) but not american football. I know that Jalen Hurts is out for the season due to blood clots but also there's some controversy and confusion about the team making him play, or not doing what they should have done.

Seeing stuff like this - https://www.instagram.com/p/DerlxEKlcBE/

can anyone explain the situation clearly from a medical POV as well as what the team did and what they should have done? Thanks!

I enjoy mathematics, but I hate AI, and I hate the fact they stole most of the work from actual humans. And I also do not know much about the Navier-Stokes problem. I just want to know if it has been checked by mathematicians to make sure it contains no mistake.

Been hearing more and more about EA in the past six months and I finally looked into it a little and…this seems like an incredibly mundane idea? Basically applying a utilitarian lens to things like philanthropic interventions and the direction of public investment? I think there’s a lot that is wrong about this idea, but it seems neither new nor interesting nor especially deep. So why is it seemingly an axis along which Keyboard Warriors and Big Brain Pundits and Politics Weirdos are loudly polarizing themselves?

So recently, I've suddenly got videos/memes of the Troublemakers from Team Umizoomi in my FYP, & I started wondering, "How the fuck did these guys just suddenly start trending?". Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h0FOq7DNjg8

It seems like two to five times a day I get his with something like this:

A mixture of games that were originally for the Ps5 or games remakes that now run in a web browser. Some questions I’m hoping to get answered:

Are the web browser games and emulator recomps related?

Has anyone tried the web browser games?

How the hell are they even running in a browser? Where is the horsepower coming from? I may be aging myself but I remember web games having pretty low ceiling for what they could technologically achieve and impractical versus a dedicated game engine. I must be missing something but it seems odd to be able to run AAA games out of chrome or Firefox.

So I haven’t been paying much attention to the recent situation other than the having the general knowledge that a tragic accident has occurred involving a man killed while riding one of the Goliath rides at the Georgia park. This morning I logged onto Instagram to see and update from Canada’s wonderland (another six flags park) saying 2 of their rides would be temporarily closed. I was confused because I don’t know much about the situation so I’m not sure what led to the ride failure on Goliath and what makes it similar to the rides at wonderland other than the fact that I think they’re both manufactured by B&M so if anyone has some more information on what exactly we know so far it would be much appreciated.

Edit: I also am aware of the six flags and cedar fair merger.

I see the description here but it just leads to more questions... they even got rid of a singer after she got pregnant. If this were any other place of employment, that could potentially lead to a lawsuit.

But this particular quote struck me: "Nightwish seems to have a recorded habit of booting their female vocalists due to interpersonal conflicts."

I'm of the old adage that if you smell sh*t everywhere you go, check your own shoes.

So what gives here? Anyone have the tea?

I know she had a rough start with her first briefing, but I also heard she’d only just started and had barely any time to prepare. Given past press secretaries’ varying performances and strange or controversial behaviors, was that really enough for her to be canned so fast?

Edit: LMAOOOOO these answers have me dying thank you guys I get it now 😭😭 Reddit humour wins today

Original post:

There are lots of bots on Instagram who steal peoples’ comments word for word basically and get more likes than the original commenter. Whenever this happens, people always reply to the bot with the same “I wish I were high on potenuse” gif (example). I understand the maths joke (and think it’s funny) but like why specifically this gif in response to bots?
