TFA is a github page, friend. If you truly care about compromise as stated, just build the add-on from source. No reason to point to nonexistent future threat vectors.

I'm not the parent poster but I see where they're coming from - form used to purely _follow_ function in computer UI/UX (as in most engineering fields) but now it's been delegated to "creatives" who, by virtue

You can also trigger wake words like "Ok Google" or "Alexa" by using _harmonics_ of normal human voices that are outside the range of audible sound. The key is that the mic can't differentiate between the harmonics

Can confirm this is no longer the new thing, but FWIW, jazz music similarly fell out of style ages ago, but that doesn't make new stuff in the genre uninteresting to those who enjoy it irrespective of hype value. That is, it's no

Your comment might be more helpful (i.e. more likely to be read by others who could use the information you're providing) without the snark.

Is it no longer possible to set a separate password by reformatting the disk in Recovery to one of the "Encrypted" options before (re-)installing to that volume? That's how I set up multiple passwords for FDE on a recent hack

It would be neatly recursive if someone opened an incomplete/nonsense PR on the repo for this site, prompting a link to the site itself.

Asking for "comments" to an email may not end so well for them, especially when it comes to "strengthening [...] warfighting capabilities". Seems like they might be trying to spin this "Challenge" as a sort of

I was wondering how the project relates to the name - i.e. if there's some single holdover remnant or concept about it or if it's a hodgepodge of parts or something. Seems like it might be due to the modular nature of the kernel b

Spirograph! That takes me back to simpler days. I was just thinking about this little device the other day but the name eluded me. What fanciful amalgam of search terms must one employ to locate such a thing via search engine? Stymying! Tha

Perhaps it would be as simple as making punishment scale with the number or recurrences? Maybe not even linearly. Not necessarily in a "received 4 counts of xyz" situation, but maybe increasing punishment nonlinearly in situations

This was my thinking exactly. The point of establishing a formal punishment for criminal business activity is not to set up one that business aren't terrified of. Quite the opposite - it needs to be a very real, very scary source

AFAIUI the legal gray area with PSX emulation (and many other consoles) wasn't limited to just the ROMs, but also the console BIOS. Most emulators would tell you to dump (or find ) your own. Is that still the case, or are there free&#

It may be a jurisdictional thing or a lack of ad blocking? I didn't see a paywall here in the U.S. with a generic ad blocker on my phone, FWIW.
