It thought the opposite was in progress now, with external actors doing deep scans on electrical infrastructure in the US. Regardless of direction, if I were to start a conspiracy theory, I'd point out that testing in a country that al

As the people above mentioned, look for one that supports a catch-all address. It makes it very easy to manage. You can even respond using a real "DoNotReply" account and the alias as the "replyto" address for the rare o

It's a pretty easy product to land when you control the hardware, the OS, the developers, and to a large extent, the users.

Google doesn't sell your data. They sell adds to companies that they show to you. The companies never see your data, and it's effectively Google's most valuable resource. They have far more reason to keep it safe than Apple.

Get your own domain through someone that has an email service that supports aliases. Every sign up can have a different address. It's like $10 per year and you're email is not at the mercy of whatever mega-corporation owns your em

That's what I'm using. A central machine (that has an output to main audio system), with it being controllable from anywhere using various MPD clients. I tried to go the streaming route with MPD to enable music to be played in mul

I think it should, or some sort of oversight should be in place. Their filters are extremely aggressive. I have a specific GMail rule in place to ensure that all mail gets through and nothing gets sent to spam, but even with that the occa

Well, I"m almost happy about the steel recipes. I'm getting really tired of Chinese-made screws and bolts that almost seem to be made of plastic.

I'm quite amazed it's taken this long. Of course, it hasn't actually happened yet either. If fair taxation alone were in place, the standard of living would be significantly better in pretty much any country.

You just used Apple and the word "standards" in a sentence without the requisite "eschews".

I like doing it to corporate security folks after they try to dictate it in authentication systems. They usually seem to understand after it's done to them.

I'm not really sure why this has anything to do with "Wall Street". Just because something changes for one company doesn't mean it's a trend. Apple is in trouble because they pushed their prices beyond where even

KDE these days has pretty much earned my forgiveness for the last couple of bid re-dos. It's a really fantastic DE again.

You can run fully transparent updates in Linux using tools from Canonical, Oracle, etc. I have absolutely no idea how people put up with how badly Windows does updates, and really, XBox is not far behind.

While not a 'normal' user as such, I've used only Linux at home and at work (Win VM at work occasionally for rare corporate stuff). I develop software, control my guitar amp and audio equipment, play video games, do photo pro

After saying I'd never get a phone without a headphone jack until Bluetooth codecs improved, I ended up getting a Pixel2XL through "reward points". It's a great phone ... and I've "only" been needed a hea

"The amount they'd be have to pay is at most what a black hat can profit from the bug, which is necessarily less than the real damages because the black hat has to cost for fungibility." So basically, their value.

There are several Android clients, including Dandelion, found in the F-Droid repository. I think there's one in the Google Play store as well. No iOS clients, but the mobile site works quite nicely.
