The funniest thing is, it doesn't even protect the shows and movies. They're still widely available. So this only impacts legitimate, paying customers, and doesn't impact pirates at all. Who benefits? The people that make thi

Yes, such things exist, but they are still technically malware. It's a risky approach. It could have unintended consequences. If it's a worm, it could spread out of control and cause considerable harm purely from its transmission.

How are the manufacturers not to blame? One way or another, these devices are getting hacked. Only most of the time, they're taking down Playstation Network or GitHub rather than being bricked. Attacks on devices that have hardcoded we

Does that work for the hands-free activation? The voice lock on Siri doesn't apply to queries once it's activated, only to the activation itself. E.g. if I say "hey Siri" while my phone has its screen off, it wakes up an

As someone who used to put in dozens or hundreds of screws in a day, sometimes: Yeah, if you're hanging one door maybe you don't care so much. But on door #100, when your hand is covered in blisters, and your screwdriver has round

Pretty lucky he dealt with it so quickly. A mattress fire is not a trivial thing to deal with!

In my experience, resting a Macbook on something that's soft (like a blanket) so that the underside is blocked has rather catastrophic effects on its ventilation. That said, it should not be possible to cause a runaway failure in the b

My Macbook does the same thing. Annoyingly frequently I remove it from my bag to find a dead battery and a hot laptop. Worryingly it seems when it's in this weird state, the fans don't run at all.

Some of the hash tables were heap allocating others were in place. They tested a variety of sizes.

The problem with this argument is a lot of language communities grow into large communities, and often have lots of discussion areas which are not central to the language topic. E.g. they may have a place to discuss video games, or other la

Counter-point: someone said "shagged out" once in a British TV show and it was a _huge deal_. And there's a pretty strong limit on how many f-bombs and other swear words you can drop in a show that goes out before a certain t

I was thinking the same thing when I read this quote: > For instance, a common source of error is the access to invalid memory regions, which produces random execution behaviors and affects the scientific interpretation of the results. S

It's encrypted with FileVault, so #1 is satisifed. I suspect #2 is as well (I'm guessing using FV leaves "tracks" on the computer?). Also, compelling them to decrypt doesn't necessarily mean compelling them to hand

Yes, with exceptions. One exception being the "foregone conclusion doctrine".

Alternatively, where possible, use a regular expression engine that does not have that issue: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html

Allowing users to enter regular expressions is definitely something that should only be entered into with caution. It is effectively code in a programming language that will be run, after all. For example, it means their input needs parsing

> The system discourages everyone from the public to law enforcement from doing anything productive about child sexual abuse. It does? Last I heard, law enforcement shut down this stuff regularly, and even have teams dedicated to it.

The comparison doesn't really make any sense - in what way is the Doge election protocol comparable to semver? It also seems weird to call something bad by comparing it to an election protocol that has been shown to be incredibly robus

I absolutely agree with you... but that doesn't mean we should sit idly by and make it _easy_. There's a big difference between "physical access = easy game over" and "physical access = game over, but hard to do&quo

It's pretty meaningless to say "this is rate limiting not lock-out" when the rate limit is a ~7 hour wait between attempts. Many lock-outs automatically unlock faster than that! The comment you are replying to is correct, thi

How is the one-liner shell script more helpful to the friend than the resulting binary? Yes it was convoluted but the point was the code author had to jump through hoops, not the end user.
