Intel ME is effectively the result of a corporate alliance... large organizations want central control of the computers they give their employees regardless of what that employee, the computer's user, wants.

Shadowsocks-libev on a Linux box hosted at AWS Tokyo region works great. Digital Ocean Singapore region is awful, at least right now. I find ExpressVPN performs very poorly most of the time. Not sure about PIA.

Because then the project can create it for nothing and sell it.

Nothing. Why even bother? My devices connect to untrustworthy networks all the time anyway. I just don't trust the local network in the first place.

The reason why tunneling over SSH doesn't work very well is because the network is crap. SSH runs on TCP, and TCP doesn't perform well when there's a lot of packet loss. Even for interactive logins it's frustrating witho

Your special login shell would not allow you to do anything except provide your secret, after which you are simply disconnected without having the opportunity to do anything else. A different process not under your control would mount the v

> you could just turn plugins off or install an extension to force you to click to load Flash content. You can't do that with JavaScript, so maybe WASM will bring that part of the old days back too. NoScript?

You could add shamir secret sharing and restrict your remote access to running a program that accepts your secret.

Unless your friend asks you to cut ads out of their newspaper. Ad blockers operate with explicit permission, so it's not as if anyone who wants to view ads is being deprived.

Correct. It's not everything, but it's a lot, and a lot of things that aren't censored load subresoures from things that are, so they're half broken without a VPN anyway. And really.. having to wait 6 minutes just to att

Everything is censored. You have to tunnel pretty much everything. Massive packet loss is par for the course. You can't have a routable address. You can't just fire up a VM in minutes, you can't even have a VM without a regis

With over a billion people in the country, the highest levels of leadership can't easily stop the kind of corruption that most businesses are victimized by: Extortion by local officials. It's like, they walk in to your factory, cl

True, though that's a gap in UI rather than a constraint of the protocol.

Signal and WhatsApp both support multi-device encrypted chats. Signal is better than WhatsApp in this respect as your primary device doesn't need to be online for it to work.

Call quality is much better now. I believe it's a combination of direct peer to peer stream support and a switch from Speex to Opus.

It would be pointless. Who would listen? The general public doesn't care about inside baseball. Site operators can't afford not to work perfectly with Chrome.

Yes, and yet Baidu search is terrible.

Yeah I do, and of course they claim everyone should give them more money. Since I frequently heard that the new standard is 20% I've reduced my tips to 10%, pretax. If a bill helpfully prints calculations and the lowest option is great

I'm assuming not all of the machines from the factory will be infected. Because if that were so, then the chances of being found out is high and consequences would be dire for the manufacturer. If my assumption is correct then buying a

If you have access to more than one identical system they can be compared. Or there could be a public list of known good hashes as you suggest. In any case having a tool to even perform the check is great.

This would be so great, but the biggest impediment to transport between Seattle and Vancouver is the border. Both sides treat incoming passengers in an appalling manner.

Yeah. I think I'm pretty reasonable when it comes to complying with laws of other countries. Whatever they want from me, I'm happy to help. I just want to be treated with respect. US and Canadian border guards will search your stu

I'm always nervous entering the US and Canada. My declarations are always proper, and I carry nothing I'd be upset to have searched. The feeling is just anchored. I get searched a lot and then let go. Waste of time for all concern

They're not mutually exclusive terms. You can have one without the other. The database that supports zero knowledge queries can be a plaintext patent database. You can do research without leaking what you're researching, however t

You're right that marketing can sometimes make what was once black into white, but that doesn't make it true. A phrase like "military grade" is now and was always a meaningless, nonsense phrase used to suggest robustness
