I wish there would be real, large-scale consequences for getting your computer compromised. At the moment, unless you’re a celebrity or other high-profile individual, there isn’t really anything that can happen - the main financial risk - c

Sadly a lot of idiots would love it and completely disregard the privacy implications, until the precedent has been set and you won’t even be allowed into the store without tapping your smartphone and being tracked.

I’m actually surprised what happened to the SK (Slovakian) TLD mentioned in that answer - it seems to have been taken over by fraud, then the fraudulent new owner of the TLD sold out to some company abroad and they’re now trying to sell out

Anyone willing to fix the Wikipedia page with the proper URL ( https://bitly.com/ )? Looks like it’s been vandalized and a spam URL put in its place, and the mobile editor doesn’t work, asks me for a captcha over and over aga

Greed is what prevents unlimited data. When greed is not the problem (due to competition, etc) then those markets already have unlimited data.

But unless they had your ID before, how can they tell it’s the ID of the account owner and not a homonym? Also how would they defend against fake IDs? If the purpose is to prevent malicious access then they better expect that attackers will

Unrelated, but I just checked his other posts about design and I miss 2012-era design so much. Nowadays everything seems flat and boring with no personality.

I don't see why Youtube doesn't just start charging per-upload to fund the human review process. I understand that at the beginning it makes sense to make uploads free to gain market share, but now they've reached monopoly so

How are creepy cartoons (aka horror movies) anywhere near "child abuse"? Not saying the cartoons are right or appropriate, but they're not child abuse unless actual children are molested while producing them (which I don&#x27

My thoughts exactly. It seems to me that the target market of these “influencers” is teens with little to no money that spend hours looking at these “influencers” exactly because these pictures are as close as they’re gonna get to that luxu

Seems like it's even a bug in how GPG is used (verbose mode, etc) instead of GPG itself. I'm surprised those software actually use GPG by parsing its output instead of as a library.

Whether a human or a machine (or a machine that claims to be a human) is doing it, there should be oversight and double or triple checking if the result is used for anything sensitive. I'd say it's unethical to put the outcome of

Do you care? You will only get noticed if your script actually fails and does bad work, and even then, worst case scenario you just get your account banned, no big loss.

This should be renamed to "Fixing router security". Nothing in the article is actually specific to Wi-Fi. They don't even mention disabling WPS which is the #1 vulnerability in consumer-grade Wi-Fi networks.

Unless I’m mistaken the “deep access” is just bad reporting (the media are surfing on the wave of Facebook bashing). What they mean by deep access is that the Facebook sharing system extension built into some OSes (including iOS pre iOS 9)

As far as I know the Stripe API lets you submit transactions without a CVV (if you accept the risks), so the card terminal requirement isn’t even a valid excuse.

I worked at a large UK mobile operator around the end of 2015. The "security" there was a nightmare. They were inputting customer data into Windows XP machines with Internet Explorer (probably 7 or 8), Flash and Java. For credit

The data stored is always the same. The point is that for Chip & PIN cards, the banks don't expect any magstripe transactions at all (for markets where EMV is in effect, like the UK), which means the card data would be pretty usele
