Leverage is often framed as being sophisticated and savvy when in reality it's just reckless gambling. The house normally wins. Unsophisticated people realize this.

Trying to stop radio waves is sort of like trying to stop water. Any little crack or hole and it'll come through.

The article failed to mention tor. IMPO, tor and cryptocurrency combined are the reason for the explosion of ransomware. Payment websites running as tor location hidden services combined with anon payments (XMR) is hard to beat (when done c

IBM use to manufacture PowerPC chips in New York and Vermont. They may still, but I'm not sure.

This has been my experience too. The amount of vendor emails and offers of wine, beer, food, etc. is ridiculous. And the IT conferences (back before covid) were crazy too. Young women dressed in tight clothing working vendor booths trying t

I'm not sure I agree that being a 'YouTuber' removes gatekeepers (number 5 in the article) as YT is the gatekeeper and can demonetize channels whenever they like.

It is probably more true in "Corporate America" where MS Windows Active Directory is in use and all the computers are domain joined and have read/write access to file servers.

100% agree. It's a trick that criminal con-men have been using forever in the physical world. There's no reason to kick a door down (draw attention to yourself) when you can convince someone inside to open it. "My puppy just

But then they'd have to provide benefits (like health insurance, parental leave, etc.) and treat workers with dignity and respect. In America, that's unlikely to happen without government regulations enforcing it.

Prehistoric humans made cheese (and beer). This helped society to grow. To call these things 'processed' when they have been made by humans using simple things (and have been for ages) is disingenuous at best and ideologically dri

Years ago, systems was the general purpose CS degree. I guess it is/was classical CS. Today, there are many specialties (data, security, algorithms, etc.), but many top-ranked CS schools still offer a traditional systems degree.

I agree. I've also noticed that some developers seem to have a strong sense of "we should not do that" while others don't and I'm not sure why. One recent example was impersonating/spoofing a manager's ema

Right and if they have a file or group of files that are central to the case, all the accused has to do is say, "those were not on my phone" and then the 'experts' go back and look at the read-only image to verify. If th

Exactly, but it could be easily proven that the data was tampered with as you still have the original/clean image and the device itself. So if they are altering data, it can be shown.

Most forensic analysts use write blockers when capturing an image of a device to ensure data integrity (no tampering). If Cellebrite altered something during extraction, investigation, etc. it would be easy to go back to the original image

Unspoken workplace requirement. Sort of peer pressure, too, I guess. Also, I did not want to make others (around me) uncomfortable.

I had Covid in March 2020. It almost did me in. Was in ICU for a while. Had the J&J shot three weeks ago. Did not feel a thing. My arm was slightly sore at injection site. Nothing else. I guess my body was used to it and just sort of sh

Many of my CS school mates at university took algorithms more than once. Some dropped it, some failed it. That class was the reason many CS students dropped out or changed majors. So, don't feel like it is just you. It's something

I guess I'm in the minority, but I actually like the Daily Mail. They have stories with videos and photos that I cannot get anywhere else on the Internet. In my experience, they have better American news than many local America news ou
