TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt can do this for you with the intention that the existence of a hidden partition is plausibly deniable unless the correct key is provided. The only downside to this is gross inefficiency, you may only be able to get

I'd argue that Toys R'us was more of a victim of changing times and overambition. Their performance since the buyout was at best mediocre thanks to both Amazon and a shrinking customer base. If you are looking for an example of ma

Short answer is we will never know for sure. There is no reason or incentive for Apple to duplicate your data and it certainly breaches an assortment of data protection laws. Nevertheless you data is always one error away from being sent al

No. The source code is shipped to a system integrator based in China, vetted by both parties and under strict NDA, who then edit the code with required changes, compile and ship the binary to government users. MS have, for a long time, allo

iCloud in China has been hosted by a local licencee for a while. People who care about privacy are at least aware that the backend is no longer secure. While we are on the topic, Windows 10 binary for Chinese government contracts are compil

This is interesting but very, very ahead of its time. I know a couple of surgeons who have done a lot of research to prove that liver with a moderate degree of steatosis (fatty liver) is still viable as grafts, because every now and then th

That would be a later jailbreak, not a baseband unlock per se. Geohot's first iPhone hack, IIRC, used an unsecured JTAG pinout he managed to find on the PCB that allowed direct write access to the firmware. Later it was discovered that

Huh, this is an old trick but always a good one. Back in the days when iPhones were AT&T exclusive people managed to bypass the carrier lock by fuzzing all possible permutations of AT commands to the baseband. Once a crash was found it

Technically, no. The ruling DP party was formed locally and never ruled in China. The institution itself also bears little in common with the previous nationalist regime. Follwing the civil war Taiwan was under three decades of martial law

It would be cool for someone to archive some of the early Java Applets, they are even more endangered.

No, but OSX certainly is. I doubt it's viable to write games without using any of the proprietary APIs.

You do realise that Lumberyard is just an licensed build of CryEngine with AWS related APIs added on top, right? As of alpha 3.2 there is still a very noticable network latency correlated to the number of active players per server. I will g

He's not entirely wrong though, CryEngine was and arguably still is wholly unsuited for anything that borders on MMO. Instead of realigning your plan around the changed scope, Chris Roberts decided to keep the glitter of CryEngine visu

It might look wrong in isolation, however the choice of unit do add context to a conversation. For example, there are instances where one would say "twenty hundred" instead of "two thousand". Sodium too is typically deno

A few years back I thought USB-C was a better mechanical design than Apple's lightning port. You see, the spring loaded parts were built into the male conductors on the cable while lightning had them on the female connectors of the act

Ancient Egypt seems to be the exception in history. Such reliable agriculture and continued population concentration around the Nile are very peculiar situations that have no parallels elsewhere. If Egypt was truly superior, it really shoul

TBH, AI worries me because it removes much of the human cooperation required to keep such regimes in place, however it is probably still a few decades ahead of us.

There really isn't one when most of the Uighur population is impoverished if not otherwise disaffected, and the local Han population are effectively incentivised to leave Xinjiang for better prospects elsewhere. Between 2010 and 2013,

I very much doubt it is sustainable. The cost of policing is quite substantial and the productivity lost is hard to replace which adds to the cost. What we are seeing today is essentially a low intensity conflict[0] not unlike what took pla

Do EU laws still apply when a person has physically left EU jurisdiction? I doubt it. After all, every egg sold in the US would be in violation of EU food safety laws (and vice versa).

I've had several optometrists suggest to me, based mostly on anectodal evidence, that excessive use of small screens lead to more cases of astigmatism than simply myopia, which is even harder to correct.

The entry reminds me how Microsoft had one of the better proto-social media platforms of the 2000s and a solid messenger app, and then managed to run both into the ground. RIP old blogosphere
