You could create a faraday cage around your home to prevent your Wi-Fi signals from broadcasting outside your home. Otherwise I don't really see the issue with Google picking up signals from the street that people blast outside the ext

Didn't the camera lens on the 5 or 5S cause purple lens flares to appear in photos? I love my iPhone, just trying to answer your question.

Actually 999 MB is correct. Mega is an SI prefix meaning 10^6. What you described is a binary prefix mebi, which means 2^20.

I wouldn't call this obscure by any means. You'll find Ethernet flow control enabled on just about every datacenter network, especially those that have a combined network and storage fabric.

I would argue that Namecheap shouldn't be on that list. They send out a 6 digit code and then immediately tell you what number it begins with, reducing the code to effectively 5 digits. Their continued refusal to support RFC 6238 shows

The app is rejected because Spotify tried to bypass the In-App Purchases system to obtain payment information form subscribers, thus bypassing the 30% cut Apple takes. This isn't a new requirement at all. Spotify is free to remove sign

This is a public wall post by the creator of Lavabit himself. Would you rather a random third party news site pick it up first before it is reposted here? I see no problem with Facebook posts if they were created by an authoritative represe

It probably won't be very exciting considering the emails existed only in the Body of the email. The emails themselves were only addressed to individuals. You can see this in the linked screenshot.

Computers behind routers? So... all internet connected computers then? I use Back to my Mac from work all the time and I have no problem accessing my iMac at home from my MacBook Pro at work.

They also use AT&T and Azure for storage too. You did hear that from me, or anyone else with a firewall running on OS X.

So it looks like the problem is the third-party doctrine, which is described as "the 1970s-era Supreme Court case holding that there is no privacy interest in data voluntarily given up to a third party like a cell phone provider."

A single BGP routing table does not. A full table, multiplied by the number of unique autonomous systems however, can quickly reach that size.

I think what jlgaddis was trying to say is that by getting certificates issued for the major browser vendors, you're much more likely to get them to pull this CA out of the trust store.

They're your ISP, so they can hijack any IP they want if they felt inclined to do so.

Sacrificing privacy? Sorry, but my ISP knows what DNS queries I make regardless of which service I use.

I use my ISP (Comcast) for DNS mainly for 2 reasons: 1. No other public DNS is faster. 75.75.75.75 is 6 "hops" away at 15ms rtt. Google's 8.8.8.8 is 10 hops away at 25ms rtt. DNS adds about 3 ms of latency for both services.

Agreed. Without naming the brand of router I have in an effort to not start a brand debate, I must say when you actually end up spending more than $40 on a wireless router, the quality greatly improves. When I lived with my family, I though

Let's Encrypt makes an effort not to use "ssl" anywhere on their site when they really mean tls or https. I'd also hope that no one helps get ssl anywhere given the vulnerabilities that come with it.

Searching by zip code zooms the map into areas 20-40 miles outside of the actual area code. At least that was my experience with the 2 that I tried.

Some of these map the domains to 127.0.0.1 which is wrong. It should be 0.0.0.0. On second thought, you shouldn't be using the hosts file for this at all.

You really have to appreciate how Comcast really tries to sound advanced with "World's First" in the headline. Assuming the upload will again be 1/5th the download speeds, you're looking at 1Gbps down / 200 Mbp
