    Mean Security
AI Thread Summary
Operational security (OPSEC) refers to the processes and measures taken to protect sensitive information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. In the context of an internet cafe with public computers, the lack of operational security is evident, as anyone can use these computers, making it easy for malicious actors to intercept data. Public networks are particularly vulnerable to hacking, which contrasts with the more secure internal networks typically provided by companies that implement specific security protocols to safeguard communications. Understanding OPSEC is crucial for maintaining privacy and protecting sensitive information in shared or public environments.

Such a computer is not operationally secure.

Additionally, you're on a public network where hackers can interfere with what you send an receive.
A company usually provides an internal network with special security checks in place that hackers can't interfere with.
 
Very clear man...Thank you.

Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...

Thread 'Star maps using Blender'

Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
