Chrome and Edge uses the OS' own storage mechanisms for passwords (Safari too?), and that's considerably more safe than a plain text file. Firefox uses a weaker scheme, but the passwords are still encrypted and it's definitel

The amount of HAM/radio-related topics on HN has definitely gotten me interested. Time for a new hobby? :)

Exactly. I've returned products due to firmware problems in the past, although they were not security related. In one case I was asked to give a written description of the problem before I got a refund. The other store returned the mon

CO2 makes water acidic. Acidic water screws with a lot of aquatic organisms. Aquatic organisms create a large amount of the planet's oxygen. Considering the marine ecosystem is extremely sensitive, well, I can see how high CO2 could be

Are you suggesting that multiple teams of skilled scientists from various parts of the world all forgot to account for historical CO2 levels when they created their models? Really? CO2 levels has been higher than current levels before, like

This announcement doesn't really concern Debian though. Debian still runs on rather ancient stuff like m68k, and I find it unlikely that they will drop i386 anytime soon.

Of course -- In most cases it's about texture quality and quality of the lightning effects, and I honestly believe many E3 shots are better because they're taken at a point where the game is done enough to show it off, but before

Yeah, the winters are still cold, but the weather is seriously unpredictable and it feels like the seasons have gone out of sync lately. It's definitely going to affect crops in the long run, and I suspect the effects are going to beco

Most people use the term "Continental Europe" and not "Mainland Europe" for that very reason. Technically, most of the Nordics is a peninsula and a large number of adjacent islands of various sizes, so it depends on your

CD Projekt did an amazing job with Witcher 3, but the fact is that Witcher 2's E3 video is one of the more infamous examples of graphics being severely downgraded once the final product ships. Witcher 3's E3 video contains very li

The word's been mentioned a few times in Swedish-language media in Finland, so it's definitely being thrown around enough to spread to this side of the Baltic sea.

My TV (Finlux) has an undocumented API, that allows anyone to pull information about what I'm watching at the moment. That same API can be used to launch a telnet daemon which can then be used to log in as root without using a password

Considering the current advances in solar technology, I think we'll soon hit the point where a local power grid powered by solar panels and batteries will be more efficient for people living a bit remote, and I do believe that we will

+2.5C will not render the World uninhabitable, but it will do nasty stuff to the weather patterns in many parts of the globe, and it is expected that this will result in decreased food production and rising sea levels. Most of the people on

I wouldn't call Valby suburbia, although it'd definitely a suburb. The real Copenhagen suburbian hell start out at Kastrup, Glostrup, Ballerup, Lyngby and thereabouts. Of course, there are other Danish cities than Copenhagen, and

Of course, but that will be a considerably longer process than desired if we're going to rely on that for reducing emissions. After all, there are always going to be some people living outside cities, and in most cases, public transpor
