Counterpoint: it works, you just have to wait a bit, since now the server will not actually send you the video until the mandatory (pre-skip) ad’s length has elapsed. Which is fully in their right, I’m not complaining, it’s not like I’m any

Because unlike YouTube, porn is an actually competitive industry with plenty of “tube” sites to choose from. So they have to compete on UX.

It’s not a revert, merely A/B testing to see which version leads to more “engagement”. They’re also testing the same on the web, half the time I get the normal sidebar, half the time I get a 300% zoomed one where I can only see like 3

Not sure why this is downvoted, this is exactly the case on any commercial website. They often whitewash it under the pretext of “legitimate interest” or “fraud protection”.

They’re betting right. Only single-digit percentages of GDPR breaches ever led to a fine.

Their DPO will be interested so he can laugh about it and ask ChatGPT for an excuse letter. Their EU customers may be concerned but it’s not like anything will be done about it - especially not now when there are talks of relaxing the alre

“CTO” during ZIRP means nothing to be fair. You could put a monkey in front of a typewriter in that environment and still get a 50% chance of success, by the success metric of the time which was just “engagement” instead of profits. If you’

Aka gambling. The difference is that while gambling has always been a thing on the sidelines, nowadays the whole market is gambling.

If the whole market goes to bet at the roulette, you go bet as well. Best case scenario you win. Worst case scenario you’re no worse off than anyone else. From that perspective I think it makes sense. The issue is that investment is still c

Amount of traffic is what matters. Are you saturating your pipe 24/7 for an entire month? Sure, you may have problems. But you'd have the same problems if you were torrenting (let's assume legal torrents here, I am not talkin

Both things can be true; there can be both a moral panic about the exaggerated harms of unrestricted internet access, but also as the internet became commonplace and law enforcement not keeping up, it's plausible and likely there are

The problem is that just like boycotts/individual action doesn't work (besides a handful of lucky exceptions), this won't work either if all your kids' peers are on it. Being the "odd one out" brings its own sh

Your government is not "wasting" money. It's intentionally putting money in the hands of the rich for a personal kickback to the involved politicians, under the guise of incompetence for plausible deniability purposes.

This only makes sense for vulnerabilities that can actually be exploited in your particular use-case and configuration of the library. A lot of vulns might be just noise and not exploitable so no need to patch.

Depends if the hearing aid presents itself as an audio sink (with no mic) or as a headset with mic. The phone will only use the mic if it's available (which is generally what you want if you're using an actual headset).

If the key is marked as exportable the malware will happily export it for you. The only way to defend against that is to make the key non-exportable to begin with.

K8S clusters on VMs strike me as odd. I see the appeal of K8s in dividing raw, stateful hardware to run multiple parallel workloads, but if you're dealing with stateless cloud VMs, why would you need K8S and its overhead when the VM hy

I was thinking the HSM in this case is your Macbook and its TPM/Secure Enclave, in which case you'd either recover it or assume the attacker is unable to use it due to biometrics/PIN. I guess the Yubikey has a PIN too with a
