    I love puzzle games but this got lost in the backlog. I've only got an hour in. Have to try again now on the Steam Deck.

    You are correct that you shouldn't have to clean the contacts each time. Roombas charge through the electrical contacts on the base station and Roomba, passing electricity from your wall to a battery on the Roomba. From your post it doesn't sound like a base station or battery issue.

    We need to diagnose the root cause. It sounds like it's not a contact issue since you've been cleaning them regularly. Check your base station contacts as well.

    Is your floor uneven? You shouldn't have to wedge something under the Roomba. If you pick up the Roomba and place it on the base station, does it charge? To me so far it sounds like an issue with the Roomba correctly emplacing on the base station. I would try a different location for the base station to see if that rectifies the issue. If not we can continue diagnosing.

    I experienced an instant game over a couple hours in on my first playthrough on the crashed nautiloid. When I found the wounded mind flayer, I tried to peer into his mind and failed the roll leading to him overpowering me. I became a thrall while Asterion and Shadowheart watched. No option to revive during the cutscene.

    Wow, 13k total miles when that's how much an average American drives in single year nowadays.

    Definitely got used for other purposes.

    I hope you're right that it does phase out. Here is evidence that having cyber insurance makes you more of a target.

    DS: Do your operators target organizations that have cyber insurance?

    UNK: Yes, this is one of the tastiest morsels. Especially to hack the insurers first—to get their customer base and work in a targeted way from there. And after you go through the list, then hit the insurer themselves.

    I agree with the author's solution to organizations of protection and resilience and that paying ultimately hurts everyone. If everyone refused to pay, we may see these types of attacks diminish.

    The challenge to cyber security professionals will always be the convincing senior leadership to understand why not paying is better in the long run.

    Having that conversation in the moment is too late. There needs to be a cyber attack response plan communicated and approved before disaster strikes.

    Even so, there will always be the friction of cost. Senior leaders will weigh the cost of paying to the cost of downtime/repair and the social stigma if your company provides a service to customers. If your original argument isn't strong enough, cost will win.

    One more point is paying is also a systemic issue. Cyber insurance is becoming popular for business. What we have seen with some insurers, their solution for ransomware is coverage to pay the ransom, perpetuating the problem.

    Thanks, appreciate your concern. I'm trying to rest, but unfortunately soundly sleeping has been challenging. My nose is congested but still dripping if that makes sense. My mouth dries out and I'm waking up constantly. I'll try to get some reprieve beyond the 5 days.

    I'm 2+1 and just tested positive for COVID yesterday. I had COVID previously in 2021 as well. Symptoms are mild with runny nose, headache, fatigue, and a light cough.

    Catching it again has me comparing the environment then and now and made the COVID apathy more apparent. Most co-worker responses have been either "That's still a thing?" to "Throw a mask on and come back into the office." I've elected to isolate to not be responsible for more spread. The frustrating thing is looking for guidance and most articles are dated in 2022. The pharmacy had fewer stock of masks and COVID tests were in the back now.

    I'm all for continuing to receive regular vaccinations like I do for the flu. If anything to continue to keep the symptoms mild.

    Hacker Archetypes - D&D Classes
    https://www.gosecure.net/blog/2023/08/09/how-unparalleled-rdp-monitoring-reveal-attackers-tradecraft/

    Researchers analyzed 190 million hacking events on a honeynet and categorized the types of hackers into Dungeons and Dragons classses. Rangers evaluate the system and set conditions for a follow-on attack. Thieves install cryptominers and other profiteering software. Barbarians attempt to brute force their way into adjacent systems. Wizards connect the newly compromised system to a previous to establish 'portals' to tunnel through to obscure their identity. Bards have no apparent hacking skill and likely purchase or otherwise acquired access. They perform basic computer tasks.
